[Koda Kumi] The 204th Thread - 20th Anniversary Tour 2020 MY NAME IS

[kaled kalil]

^ Probably, she usually has more than one option for the ballads in her setlist. From the My name is... album it' probably Suki de, CHANCES ALL and instead of hands and Through the sky. I honestly prefer the setlist for the first show than the album.

The Asahi Ch1 broadcast is up on JPS.

Edit

For the second performance the ballad section was:

15 .hands
16. CHANCES ALL
17. WALK OF MY LIFE

Instead of:

15. hands
16. BRIDGET SONG
17. Through the sky

I watched the Asahi footage and my opinions are the same. Hope it gets better at the final date.

She is gorgeous in the pictures !
Didn’t have the occasion to Watch the show yet! Concert set list is better than the CD playlist.

On the other hand, quite surprised her staff skipped Ai no Uta release by not updating the single version of the PV on her YouTube channel!

Hayadoki! & Mezamashi TV tomorrow morning will broadcast footages on Kuu

Kuu made a lot of headlines.
She was the first big artist and the first arena tour to start after it's now allowed again since August and everyone is reporting how and why.
They also had to alter the corona conditions - there were actually only 4000 fans per concert as they had to go down from the intially planned 8000 for all counter measures.
Fans also had to wear masks throughout the whole concert, not only while entering and walking through the venue and so on.
There will also be 4000 per concert for Fukuoka and Nagoya. But those arenas are smaller than Osaka Jo Hall, which leads me to believe that's the maximum number the prefectures/cities allow right now.
The number of performances for the two Tokyo dates and the limit for attendees is not decided yet.
But in the Harajuku installation from yesterday both dates were promoted, so I assume they keep concerts on both days.
Ah, and they're reporting that the concert doesn't have an encore, so that's official now.

Kuu actually is the number 1 online keyword at the moment.



She already talked about why she's decided to do the tour in her official message and that she's aware that there will be people not understanding this decision.
News covering all of that inlcuding her 20th anniv and the tour content.

You know, rather be hated...

Aimyon was recently asked on TV which 5 songs influenced her the most when she was younger and Cutie Honey and the Love & Honey single was among that!

And I'm watching the TV Ashai stream now.
Kuu's basically and finally breaking down crying in Moon Crying in this second performance and it also affected her vocals for hands, lol. Only in CHANCES ALL she got back to norm again. Overall her vocals are not as good as in the 1st concert,she seemed more focused there altogether.
Also some minor microphone breaks at the start... I prefer the 1st performance of the day,even tho the
TV stream is better made.
Tomorrow we can rewatch the mu-mo stream in great quality!

Some seriously amazing shots from the MY NAME IS... booklet

I like the shot of Kuu in the ponytail <3

[DevilsClap]

^ so gorgeous!

[thinkingoutloud89]

^I may be the only one and I'm sorry (and no offense) but I find most of them rather bland looking and I think i don't like her expression in them either.

Actually I only really like the cover and the alternate version of that one.

Overall, i get what she wants to do 8and that it is a self-reference thing and blaa blaa) but to me personally it is not very well executed. But good that people seem to love it.

[minkAYuko]

All these exciting (yet maybe controversial) news!!! I hope this helps her out. If they are going to talk and continue to hate her, well we know now that she doesn't care so she's going to do things anyway!!!

yo go girl!


Edit:
This site also posted the pictures they are 1300 x 1950

[kaled kalil]

She looks so good with this mirror dress, wish they had use more of the lasers from the XXKK performance, it was just for one song and done.

Some TV reports are out too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVaCkfR3ehk https://twitter.com/Na2minion93/stat...56932643463168 Interesting that they are using the footage of the first concert. They provide everyone a face-shied but, from the footage, I don't see anyone using. From the stream I even saw one lady without her mask during one part, probably for just one moment, but still.

The concert will be available for stream in 3 hours, but don't expect a better quality image because the live stream was 1080p, but the stream will be 720p like before. The problem is that she's most of the time in front of the screen, so it will be a pixel galore no matter what. Not only that, but moiré happens as well, that's one of the reasons I don't like screen stages, it's not "footage record" friendly.

LIVE TOUR 2020 MY NAME IS... playlist is available on streaming services. https://avex.lnk.to/kkmyname

So, I watched the TV broadcast, and these are my thoughts on the tour:

Spoiler:

It's clear they went on a simpler stage, probably to have less people involved in building up the stage and preparing the props, and also to make the show more profitable, why not? But still I think Kumi pulled it off really well, loved her energy on it.
The first section is so good, so many bops, I even got to like SWEETEST TABOO a bit more now lol
Also puff really surprised me, the treadmill thing? She killed it. And the MJ-like outfit for that section was really different for her but at the same time reminded me of her business look in the Crazy 4 U video, and since she also performed the song wearing that outfit, I guess it was totally on purpose. Dance In The Rain and Moon Crying made me teary, such beautiful songs and well delivered.
The final dance part tho... I hate that whole look lol Everything looked so out of place. Still she put on a great number, you could tell she was really having fun there. And I love she performed girls, it made me feel like we were in 2007 once again hahahaha
Overall, not her best arena tour but still a fun concert with lots of energy, she really is the queen of live. I hope that until December things get better and they are able to expand the concert a little bit, be it by having more songs performed or improving stage and props. And that must be their plan since the December dates haven't all points closed.

So far I've seen some Japanese fans on twitter talking about the concert and they're praising her, Im glad people are not mad at her for touring during the pandemic.

On another subject, a friend and I came up with the theory there'll be a 2CD+2DVD BEST later on this year called "XXKK" to pair up with "MY NAME IS..." and nothing will take that away from my mind.

B!!!!!!!!!!!!!! omg that would be SO HOT!!!!! i'd buy it in a heartbeat!! but I wonder what would she put in the DVD, the MVs? I don't think. The lives? she already have MY NAME IS... maybe... the concert? paired with the BEST?

OMGT!!

[gustavismo]

Didn't she have a meeting early this year where she shared a photo of a "single collection" planner or something similar? I wonder if she'll announce that during the last date of this tour...

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I wonder if the single collection was just MY NAME IS....

[Gustavopc]

Well, MY NAME IS features a lot of not-singles actually, so I think not. And maybe it was another project that was cancelled cause of the pandemic. It's hard to tell, so many plans must have changed.

About the 2nd DVD it's pure speculation lol but would love to see something like ayu's A COMPLETE DVD with rare stuff

[kaled kalil]

If the interlude serves as a indication, she does have old footage of herself during her club performing days. I didn't even know about any of the three performances.

--

EDIT

She's back in the studio, maybe finishing the song for that TV show.
