I like it as well. Just 4 ballads - it's really upbeat and there are some surprises!
And from the placement if the other new songs, they're probably at least midtempo as well.
Can't listen to anything as I'm in university.

She performed both new songs from WoL as well as another new one, Cupcake. Cupcake is reported to be EDM!
I really appreciate this setlist!
First, i like she sings new song to a lot of audiences in hall, the way to promote
I'm glad she selects some songs that are not single and some songs that i think i have no chance to see their live again like Escalate or Show me your holla
And eventually Hotel is sung!!!!

But i still hope for Kimi Omoi live

Wow, NO ME WITHOUT YOU is the opening song? That's unexpected, really wanna see how it sounds like! Maybe retro-ish given SMYH comes right after it?

My comments on the setlist:
Spoiler:

NO ME WITHOUT YOU
SHOW ME YOUR HOLLA - Thought we'd never see it again so yaaas
BAMBI - who cares?
WON'T BE LONG - who cares?²
LOADED
CUPCAKE - Curious to hear it, specially cause of the following tracks
TOUCH DOWN - Thought we'd never see it again so yaaas²
CRAZY 4 U - Amazing song, she could always perform it for me hahaha
you - Classic one, yes! <3
moon crying - Classic as well
Brave - zzzzzzzz
愛のうた - zzzzzzzzz² but not unexpected
歌は我が命 - YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS
Band Part
You are so beautiful - I love this song live! She killed it at DMP
ON AND ON - Curious to hear it also
WALK OF MY LIFE - Love it <3
XXX〜ESCALATE〜LAY DOWN〜Crank tha bass - I LOVE THIS MEDLEY OMG
HOTEL - Nice to see she remembers this song, but it looks so out of place here lol
TABOO - YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS²
HURRICANE - Hope there's more going on than it seemed to be on WOML Tour
UNIVERSE - YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSS³ go go go Hiro
め組のひと - zzzzzzzzz³ but not unexpected²
Poppin'love cocktail - same
ENCORE
TAKE BACK - Well, it was a must, and I love it so yey!
Birthday Eve - Glad to see this as well, one of her best cute songs
With your smile - Could do without it
BRING IT ON - Just release this goddamn track on a disc girl
IN THE AIR - Thought we'd never see it again so yaaas³
Someday - A classic one, a shame I grew over it already
Lady Go! - next pls
Comes Up - Not my favorite, but a nice choice
walk - no supplies, hope there's a different ending other than tissue dance / achrobatic things like she's been doing


Overall, many good songs and even some surprises here'. The songs I don't like are not bad, they're just not my piece of cake but a good performance can make it up for it... So, yes, I love it! I would have just added more first things era songs, there were many more post-UNIVERSE songs than I was expecting, but it ain't such a bad thing also

I feared she would do much of the overperformed classics - but we already had her 10th Anniversary and Fantasia for that, so I think it's a great move from her including so many more recent songs.

Edit:
Here's a report from a chinese fan, who went today.
Would any of our chinese members be so kind to summarize a translation of it?

From Koda Kumi Italian FC

Our friend Tony James attended the 15th Anniversary LIVE: The Artist and we are happy to share his thoughts on the experience:

"I just saw Koda Kumi's 15th anniversary show: The Artist, in Osaka. I wanted to share a few highlights from the concert with you.

Before the concert they had the camera going around the stands and they would instruct the fans to do funny things. If you were the best you would get a Christmas present. Eventually they were having couples give each other kisses. They shined the camera on two guys and told them to kiss and they ended up doing it. So they won and got their Christmas present, which was front row seats!

The concert started out with Koda Kumi singing her new ballad. It was really beautiful. After a few introduction songs the concert was broken up into 3 sections of what makes Koda Kumi the artist she is. The three sections were: the voice, the dancer, and the entertainer. They would show a video and interview with Kumi before each section. The Voice section was really beautiful and Koda Kumi came out in an extremely long white dress that they projected beautiful lights, stars, and flowers on. She also performed another one of her new songs On and On.

The dance section was my favorite. She performed a new song, which I think she called Cupcake (she said Buttercup a lot in the song too, there was a really good rap part from a guy.)

Then for the entertainment section (this was the encore) she did a mix of a few songs and rode around on a cart.

She showed a few seconds of a new music video. I can't remember which song it was for but I believe she said there would be two versions, one for the phone and one normal size. The video was koda kumi taking selfies and scrolling through instagram.

My favorite part was that she said she will keep singing, maybe even go to a 30 year anniversary. She joked and had a lot of fun with the audience which was really cool to see.

They're really strict about pictures and videos at the concert but there are a few on my instagram @toeknee1018 from before the concert. I'll be attending the concert in Tokyo too so hope to have some more. Hope this information is helpful"


And they uploaded 45s of NO ME WITHOUT YOU. Very beautiful piano ballad

I try my best Marika from the link you posted ; http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4191028561?...&is_jingpost=0

From what the fan wrote in Baidu on what he (or is it she ?) wrote

-- Outfits wise , Kuu wore as follows :

Opening of the concert , big white cap & a long skirt which she changed to a pair of black trousers soon after

Next , Kuu wore a white wedding dress where images were projected on the skirt potion of the outfit

Following that , a red wedding dress and Kuu sang on top of a chandelier prop and she tore out a large portion of the skirt from the outfit o_o

Next outfit , purple (not sure what outfit this's though)

After that , halter bodice & hip hop trousers

Last outfit , is where the user posted photos on http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4191028561?...&is_jingpost=0 which he/she took secretly inside Osaka Jo Hall

-- No fan selection

-- On And On will have 2 different PV versions . Kuu said other information will be updated on Facebook in due time

NO ME WITHOUT YOU is really nice!!
the setlist overall is absolutely great!!
and can't wait for CUPCAKE!!
maybe finally the new BUT/TABOO/etc we've waiting for!

btw according to kinot the featured male rapper on CUPCAKE is AKLO...
www.aklo.jp

edit:
i wish SUMMER/WINTER of LOVE were special singles (Like Ayu's MW or Days/GREEN) so she could do some SEASONS of LOVE album/4 seasons theme for her next album

^ BEST ~four seasons~ maybe?

LOVE the concept of the sections, much more than the emotions for FANTASIA! And it looks like there was much more going around than during FANTASIA also, I am loving this concert from what we know so far

Thanks a bunch, Karen, I appreciate!
Also thanks for the other summary.

No to the ballad; it's completely void of any type of "winter" atmosphere. Ugh, missed opportunities. Serve us something more developed please. This song doesn't paint any type of strong visual for me. It's like someone playing a piano. At least Ayu's JEWEL paints a picture of snow falling in suspended animation. This song doesn't demand a context, which is disappointing.

Thanks for uploading though.

I love the setlist so much. It's fabulous as fuck~ Hopefully Cupcake gets released at some point because I really want to hear it.

And according to the preview of NO ME WITHOUT YOU, I'd say it's beautiful. I'm definitely going to listen to it like a batshit crazy fangirl when it's possible~

I can see that the preview of NO ME WITHOUT YOU might be for the first chorus, and then the song become stronger, with more instruments as the song goes by. And I was right about the chorus being "there's no me without you" hahahaha

---

Lets compare the songs from the concert with that list of 20 songs people would recommend to somebody:

Spoiler:
Always
Brave
Comes Up
Lady Go!
LALALALALA
LOADED feat. Sean Paul
Moon Crying
Poppin' love cocktail feat. TEEDA
Rain
Someday
TABOO
UNIVERSE

walk
WALK OF MY LIFE

WIND
you
大切な君へ
恋しくて

愛のうた
愛のことば

13 out of 20


---

Anyway, my comments about the concert setlist:

Pros:
  • No LALALALALA, BE MY BABY and IS THIS TRAP?


  • The concept is pretty cool, way better than FANTASIA, and the concert overall seems better than FANTASIA as well;
  • Most of the songs are upbeat;
  • Love the fact that she sang the songs from WINTER of LOVE. Also, I'm happy with those songs: Crazy 4 U, you, Uta wa Waga Inochi, You're so Beautiful, HOTEL, Lay Down, TABOO, UNIVERSE, Birthday Eve, with your smile, IN THE AIR.
Cons:
  • Bambi? TOUCH DOWN? Won't be long?..... CRANK THA BASS? Really girl?
  • The complet disregard of her songs before 2005, with few exception of Crazy 4 U, TAKE BACK and walk. Not even a medley with the old songs? That's a major turn off.

XXX〜ESCALATE〜LAY DOWN〜Crank tha bass??? Damn, this sounds like an awesome medley, but it makes me sad at the same time because I would love if she sang all those songs in full

NO ME WITHOUT YOU sounds beautiful
