Okay i will talk about koda kumi first since some requested it!!!

(off-stage)
Okay koda kumi..in this concert u can tell avex is pimping her out like crazy!! Her goods section was as big as ayumi..however..i rarely saw anyone there!!! However, all the ku fans bought towels!! ..too bad her stuff weren't that nice compared to her ~first things~ tour..i would've had bought stuff if they were like that.. However, lots of people got her cds and stuff..especially 4 hot wave and there were lots of random people in avex advertising that single!! In the cd section i got a 4 hot wave poster for free along with the first things cd+dvd..u get a free poster with cds you buy..i got way more posters!! Also its like if you buy kuu stuff you can enter this contest and win a 'koi no tsubomi' poster..i wish i won though i had no chance lol..

There are lots of kuu fans that are ayu fans as well and vice versa..they are both loved a lot in japan..and you can tell from this concert..u can see groups of people..and having some ppl with ayu towels and kuu towels all together!! I don't think there is any rivarly between these two!! I was sitting in the back of the middle section and koda kumi does have some teen male fans..just not that hard-core..and they always buy kuu pics haha..well there were this hard-core kuu teen male fans sitting 2 rows behind me..all wearing kuu towels and wearing 1st things tour shirt w/her face..and went crazy for kuu and knew like every song with all artists and sang along hahaah

(on-stage)
Okay kuu went first..and that shocked like everyone..it was a great opening and catches everyones eye (she is too hot that is why hehe)..she has good stage presence that is for sure..i think its best for her to perform in day-time because u can see her properly and her dance moves..the problem with the night performances..they aren't as clear as day..u can't see that much..unless your very close..and i liked watching kuu's dance moves..she had tons of energy and seemed like she was having fun..kuu should never be in an ayu cart..cause she has so much stuff to do on stage..it would just limit her..she would probably jump out of the cart heheeh to the crowd*yay*
Well kuu was soo pimping herself in the concert..asking the crowd how many ppl bought her photobook and was talking about that for a bit..and asking if they bought 4 hot wave..hehe..and she said she truly wants to focus on those songs in the concert..and that is why she performed them all..her vocals were very good throughout the whole concert

For the opener juicy..it was soo hot..no bottle humping or stuff like that..i think..unless i missed something..but it was very sexy..reminds me of a slave 4 u..she had a lot of contact with the male dancers..all i gotta say its SEXY!! ..me and my friend were yelling sexy the whole time and cheering..its a must see..and even better live..then she say butterfly..doing the whole standard butterfly routine especially the end..but its a great song live..i get annoyed watching it online all the time..but its a fun song to watch..even though she hates performing it hehe..then she sang you and koi no tsubomi..just standard slowish songs..you sounds great live..and i love that song..and koi no tsubomi..for some reason that live made me like that song more for some reason..i dont know why though..don't remember much about these two songs..!!..then came i'll be there..i don't remember if she changed out of her green outfit thing before this song or ningyo-hime..sorry ^^..but i'll be there..i kinda fell asleep cause i really don't like this song..but the crowd seems to love it..i swear the most popular 4 hot wave song in japan i hear it everywhere..after that came the crazy ningyo-him performance..in her jeans and black top..wow..even though this song sounds weird live kinda..she did so many crazy dance moves and was going crazy and did a flip..wow i never knew she can flip like that..i was screaming and everyone was like ahhhhhh!!! wow she can go crazy..tons of energry..nice to watch
After this song was with your smile..and she was bringing her green ku towel out and starting to wave it around like crazy througout some parts of the song..and it was fun waving it around with her!!..but still don't like this song that much..and finally the last song..and a great last song..she should have it for her encore..was shake it up!..i never loved this song..but wow i loved it after this live..its soo fun hearing this song..cause you get to chant along the oi oi oi oh part..and clap with your fans after "shake it up tonight"..lots of fun..Ku did an amazing job keeping everyone to stay at the concert..and was a great opener..her performance was great and had more songs that even ayu! wow..as they say..they put the best first and last..to make people come early and stay late!! I will never forget how ku made my heart flip when i first saw her stage..only her and ayu made me feel that way throughout the whole concert!!

PSYCHEDELICOdust, I will fufill your request about ELT, AAA, and ROM however I'm not really a that much of a fan of these artists so i will tell you as much as i can!!!

(off-stage stuff)
Okay as you all know..ELT, AAA, ROM all had goods sold at the concert..but the kool thing about AAA is that you get a free cool big AAA bag with a picture of all the members and their names if you buy something AAA..so i wanted to get the wristbands and the plastic braclet thingys after the concert since the bag is so cool and i need to put my stuff..however those stuff sold out!! I was like nooooooo..so tip for everyone buy buy buy before the concert stuff or they will sell out..okay..and i didn't have much money left for the other things..the sad thing about AAA is that they don't really have much fans in this concert..like when they perfromed..not many people were watching..and kinda were sitting..or going to other places (i guess they only wanted to see ku???)..i was standing..since the first song was blood on fire..which i like..they did a good job for all their performances..im sad no else seemed so interested in that song..and they performed their other songs with ton of energy and moved around the stage quite a bit for some songs..and moved to different sections for each song..too bad they didn't play kimono jet girl cause i love that song!!..i think it started to rain around the end of their performance so lucky AAA!! That is all know about AAA..too bad there weren't that many cheers compared to other artists..i think tohoshinki was more popular than then..or its just the crazy hard-core fan girls they have? I cheered for AAA though..they put a good show!!

I was surprised ELT was in the middle of the concert..since they usually go in the end..but this concert was full of surprises..okay..kaori was wearing this same black dress the whole time..i wish she had wore some colour or changed..since it is a summer concert..and it was hot like mad..i don't know much about ELT songs except some but they were sang nicely..and nice to listen to..but i don't think there were any fastish songs..im not sure..maybe one..which was not a good thing..cause it just makes u sit down and want to listen to the music..instead of standing up like crazy..fans were screaming before each song kinda started though heheh..i was sitting most of their performances since i was dead tired by this point..however kaori wasn't moving much on stage though..i wish she did..or all ELT performances just have her standing..??

Oh i'm sorry to say..but i was away during the ROM performances..since i had to go to the bathroom and get a snack..sorry!! standing all day kills..and you get hungry/thirsty..but not really thirsty since it was raining forever!!.soo i can't say much about them!


If anyone else wants to know about other artists..just tell me!!!

[Norrel]

Good lord, all the Ayumi stuff is sold out xD

[PSYCHEDELICOdust]

AAA, ELT and ROM. PLEASE! <3

Here is my post from the other a-nation 8/12 thread

Hey everyone! I went to the a-nation concert in nagoya =)!!

I gotta say that is order list is correct!! Koda kumi was the concert opener and she was really good and it shocked everyone in the concert! I think they kinda change the order for each town..depending which artists show up since there was no boa or otsuka ai in the nagoya concert..Ayu goods was soooo popular in the concert..when the concert ended almost all her goods were sold out..thank god i got mine before it started..i gotta say the most popular item was the ayu fan..almost everyone had one..and then the a-nation fan..also most people had the ayu towel..the smaller one..i took only two pics in the concert which was in the goods areas which shows that most of her goods were sold out lol..not many people bought koda kumi stuff(they didnt look that nice..however lots of people bought 4 hot wave =)!!!) but i saw some kumi towels..i will upload the pics after i come back from japan in 3 weeks..ok let me cut to the details of ayus part of the concert!! I will also show pics of the goods i got hehehe..oh ya btw the set list is wrong..I sat somewhere near the back of the middle section so i just saw the bodies fine but not the face hehee..which is good since i got my ticket from family mart hahaha..

1. Opening..they played that ayu chant song like they do in every concert and showed clips of ayu of previous concerts..i was going so crazy and taping my a-nation fan so hard it broke hahaha..getting to excited for ayu!! and then the first song was startin'..which shocked me for some reason..she was wearing this short shiny silver dress with a bit of black stripes i think..and the dance kinda reminded me of most of her startin' performances and kinda like step you from the countdown 05

2. They played unite! straight afterwards..that put a lot of energy in the crowd and i started to do the unite! dance!! she was wearing the same dress and she started to do the unite dance..the performance is very similar to any other unite! song..

3. The stage went dark..that means costume change..and they showed more clips again..some people yelled ayu in the crowd..like me haha..then she popped up wearing this long white flowy dress thing with sleaves and started to sing seasons and people love this song of course and kinda chanted along..and waving the fans slowly..

4. The next song was ..this was very shocking..A song for XX..i think it was like the newer version from A Ballads..i loved this song..my fav karaoke song..and she sang with lots of emotion..no crying though lol..

5. Another costume change..she changed into the ayu concert t-shirt with shorts and white boots..and she went on this cart thingy..which goes around the concert area..and started to sing fly high..okay this is the best part of the concert..okay the concert in nagoya..is like a open field..no seats or any area restricted like the one in tokyo so u can run wherever u want..so when ayu started to move around the audience..people went crazy and try to run up where ayu was comming..she was passing right through my section..so i ran quickly to the front and literally ayu was one meter away from me and i started to scream ayu like crazy ..but it only lasted for 10 seconds..she barely looked on my side though..but she did a bit....that is why i don`t really remember the song cause i was too busy tryin to chase ayu hahaa..this is soo much better than being in front row..oh ya i forgot to say that ayu's hair was like braided..

6. The song right after fly high on the cart thing was independent..which was good..

7. Now this is like the ending part of the concert..she was singing blue bird and doing her good-byes and stuff..and then left..

Overall..ayu;s part was good..(dont mind my bad typing since i cant stand japan's keyboard..)..her voice was better than i though live..she performed in the end..and ya there was no hanabi..however..i kinda notice a small number ppl left before ayu came on..but overall like everyone was there..she had a lot of energy in her part..however..i think DJ ozma and TRF had a higher energy level due to their songs..i think it was the perfect ending set..since it had the most enjoyable factor in the concert..if anyone is interested about the other perfomances i can talk about it in another thread..

Oh ya another thing i needed to point out..is that it was raining like mad in the nagoya performance for a period of time..i think after koda kumi(too bad u cant see her wet hahahaha) and AAA it started to rain..and when hitomi went on it rained like mad..but she was having soo much fun..but in the end of her time..the rain stopped..yay hitomi made the rain go away..afterwards it stopped raining for the rest of the performances..i had to use all my towels..to cover my goods from being wet..and my towels were soo soaked..

Ya that is all i gotta say..a-nation is a lot of fun..even if its 35C outside..and humid like crazy..and standing for 8 hours..its amazing..ayu goods sold like hotcakes..

WOW!!! Thanks for sharing your experience at a-nation! The Kuu performance sounds absolutely amazing. I really hope that flip will be able to make it on the DVD. And poor AAA, maybe they'll get a better response next year.
