Her voice gets worse obviously.
I care about that.

Kokoro kara i love u sounds like a Yorokobi no Kakera sequel, which means I loooooove it :heart Loved that performance so much, and as usually with her ballads I'm pretty sure it'll be even better in front of a live audience
CHANCES ALL is nothing new but I gotta say I feel like something is missing in that song... She sings it all the way through in the same way, and the instrumental doesn't evolve much either :/ It could work with an acoustic performance in the tour, but in this way it's just meh
HUSH live was not as good as I expected, and at the beginning I thought she wasn't gonna sing at all lol It wasn't bad but I expected more energy, maybe in a concert it'll work better. And gosh what a terrible outfit lol

Kokoro Kara, I Love You is very pretty. Definitely a classic Koda ballad. I kind of wish she had promoted it, since I always see comments from casuals who miss her ballads and mid-tempos.

CHANCES ALL is solid. I do wonder if the Ty Dolla $ign factor makes it special for her a bit.

HUSH is a bit awkward live. I'm not sure if it's her approach or if it's just the overall structure of the song. I'll wait until the tour performance to see if it improves. That outfit was suspect as hell. The random braid was just bizarre.

I like Chances All, it's a nice chill song but I still think it's weird to have her web address in the lyrics, lol. And she doesn't sing it!

I don't have an opinion on koko kara yet...it's a nice tempo to sing at karaoke though!

Kokoro Kara i love u sounds like one of those songs that the general Japanese public would LOVE. Myself included :laugh

Love the 2nd photo <3

Koda Kumi Germany on fb recorded the a-nation broadcast (not HQ, but better than nothing):
https://m.facebook.com/story.php?sto...cus_composer=0

Already saw clips from the broadcast and from someone inside the stadium and it looked and sounded amazing!
Can't wait to watch it at home!

bpm was also pretty amazing!
I love both 心からi love u and CHANCES ALL!
I do agree CHANCES ALL would be better with a climax after the second chorus instead of just having an insturmental part. But I really like it anyway, Idk.
Her vocals were great, just her approach for HUSH was a bit strange.

Same set list as before?

bpm is up on JPS. ;)

The photos look great! Amazing how in the performance her hair looks muuuch better to me lol

It's the same, but shortened - PARTY is missing.
Which is a shame, cause LIT and PARTY work perfect together. She should have cut BE MY BABY instead.
LIT is the same extended version from AND Tour! :heart
And I have to say Dangerous is a great song and also great performed live. That dance!

Would you or someone be so kind to point me in the direction of the stylist? I’m contemplating trying to get tickets to a-nation to see Ku at least once before I leave japan, but I want to make sure the setlist is something that will satisfy me. BE MY BABY alone is almost worth going for but I still would like to see the entire setlist. Thanks.

@Zeke:

Nagasaki:
01. Dangerous *new song
02. IS THIS TRAP?
03. BE MY BABY
04. CHANCES ALL *new song
05. め組のひと
06. PARTY
07. LIT
08. Poppin' love cocktail

Osaka:
01. Dangerous *new song
02. IS THIS TRAP?
03. BE MY BABY
04. CHANCES ALL *new song
05. め組のひと
06. LIT
07. Poppin' love cocktail

There might be a small change for Tokyo.
For Mie Bling Bling Bling with AK-69 as special guest was planned before it got cancelled.

Thank you!

Her bpm performance was pretty good. HUSH was cool but she not knowing how to sing the english parts kinda bothers me. Not even a case of mispronunciation... "hey my boy" "so hurry up bling bling" "better bring bling bling gonna make it out". haha

A-nation was kinda messy...? Haha she was all over the place with the lyrics, and even called CHANCES ALL by its demo name "Chances". The energy was great, as always, and vocals were pretty good. Sad that she skipped PARTY. :( Hope it's back for next week.

I'll have my thoughts about the songs when the album is out, not judge by live performances.

And also "gonna playing with fire" instead of "I'm/We're playing with fire".
You have to give her credit though, cause she isn't making it wrong, she's just slightly singing something different, rofl. Same with mistakes she makes with her Japanese lyrics - she just sings something else and you'll only notice, if you know the lyrics. :laugh
In that sense she's really professional.
She just has too much on her plate right now, I guess.


EDIT:
Just saw on Baidu.
DNA is apparently out on Spotify New Zealand! :)

The album leaked on Baidu.
