Misono has a horrible voice.
Imagine a cow being slaughtered by alien pigs....

Delicious n Bold 26th June 2015 04:32 PM

Now guys, don't do that to the good sis misono. It's not her fault that Kumi got all the talent and there was none left for her (misono) when she (misono) was born.

ALfromHELLSING 26th June 2015 04:32 PM

You guys are all so mean, but misono has one of the best videos of all time!

Gustavopc 26th June 2015 04:34 PM

What is a misono?

do it again 26th June 2015 04:37 PM

^ I think it's some sort of food. Misono soup.

Minttulatte 27th June 2015 12:59 AM

I definitely am not a misono fan. Her voice just gives me a horrible headache every time. :/ I wish I didn't but I can't help it.

kaled kalil 27th June 2015 01:14 AM

Interesting news: Tomorrow's concert will be broadcasted with the app Periscope from mdpr's twitter account. http://rhythmzone.net/koda/news/detail.php?id=1023325

I'm not 100% sure if I'm right about it, so if someone can clarify the news, that would be cool.

What about that song "11 eleven" she had on Cyber X? It slayed me when I was a tyke.


Luck16 27th June 2015 04:41 AM

LOL and to think Kuu once said she was jealous of misono back in the day

WOML Tour gets aired on TV? Wonderful! I personally will wait for the release though so I can see the whole thing. TV versions usually have cut out some parts and I hate that.

I hate the dress, hate the drunk teedy bear but love the tissue dance pic. Is that water fly around kumi??

pimenta 27th June 2015 07:25 PM

Setlist of this tour is so good. I'm happy she added HURRICANE :)

That dress with that thing on her head though...

Zahara 27th June 2015 08:10 PM

My workout inspiration tbh. Work it.

I wish she performed Shake It Up remix from Dirty Ballroom. That song was everything to me.

Minttulatte 27th June 2015 11:27 PM

I love that dress so much. It's fabulous as hell. That tissue dance with the water element will also be epic. :heart

Also, I didn't know she can play a piano! That will be a sight to see... hopefully. She moght change things for the last concert, but I hope not. Kuu playing the piano would be too fabulous for me to handle. 8D

kaled kalil 27th June 2015 11:35 PM

I don't think she will change anything for tomorrow's concert.
She usually have two days of footage for the DVD, which will have yesterday and today's concert.
The dress isn't that bad, at least is better than the JAPONESQUE Tour one... That thing was a disaster from the waist down.

Nice to see she added HURRICANE!

Corvina 27th June 2015 11:42 PM

Alright, people, it's Sunday morning here in Tokyo.
In about 3 hours we're going to be at the venue.
Going to make a big report this evening, when back in hotel, and try to make somr pics.
Depends on our seats, we will just know at the venue after picking them up.

I'm so happy about HURRICANE. Hoped that she would add one of the new songs.
Apparently she also showed parts of the HURRICANE PV.

Diva_br 27th June 2015 11:52 PM

^I'm so envy *____________*

Get some fun, Corvina!!!

kaled kalil 28th June 2015 12:03 AM

Have fun, Corvina! Can't wait for your review and photos.

Corvina 28th June 2015 12:11 AM

I'm going to have a hell of fun for sure! :D
And trying to share as much with you as possible.

Btw. that news report says nothing new - she played the piano in WOML, the guitar on Fake Tongue and there are a damn lot of flashy LEDs on stage.
Concert lasts about 2,5 hours with 34 songs. She sung for 16,000 people yesterday. So probably it was full.

She'll probably dip in water like Pink in that one Grammys performance.

Kuu's concerts are always amazing, so I'm really excited to see it! Wish I could see her in person someday... ;;

Cloudsoldier 28th June 2015 03:08 PM

New images from the tour final!

today's song menu: Rain



According to the source, the tissue dance performance is Dance in the rain. :luv2

Can't wait for the live report from Corvina!

I wanna see the tissue dance performance even more now that someone here mentioned it was Dance in the Rain ~
I adore that song so much

Delicious n Bold 28th June 2015 05:51 PM

The Queen of live is really werking that guitar!! Sleigh kumi!

chocopockymaster 28th June 2015 06:06 PM

THAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST CONCERTS I HAVE EVER BEEN TO IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

REAL TALK THO.

Corvina 28th June 2015 06:13 PM

Sooooo.... back at the hotel.
No voice and no energy left. But I can still write a report, still too hyped.
First of all... it was really high energy from start to finish! As there are just two ballads in the main setlist and with walk one in the encore, there's not much room to relax. Ballad lovers will probably dislike this concert. Also, not much costumes - but no wigs!! Just her real coloured hair and for the rock part some extensions. So yeah, I prefer her having that strange yellow net on her real hair than an trashy wig.
The stage set up is great. Three big screens and in bewteen smaller ones. Lots of LEDs and lights. Don't know, why no review mentioned that before!
Also the medleys are mostly the songs just flowing into another - most songs in the medleys are fully or to 80% fully sung! I guess I wouldn't even called some of those medleys to begin with.
She showed PV snippets of both new PVs.
Ex Tape and Hurricane seem to be connected somehow - Ex Tape is bright and Hurricane dark - both are dance PVs. They seem to form a pair together.
And yeah, there was Hurricane in full!
But off to the setlist in detail.

Spoiler:
You can keep up with me (blue section)
Opening. Curtain falls and Kuu is sitting on a Mercedes in the air before the big screen. She's wearing some kind of vody suit and a blue hairy coat over it. Actually isn't as trashy as it sounds.
Mercedes:
Mercedes is going down, she and dancers drive to the front of the catwalk. Same outfit. Really nice background movie with Kuu and blue hair. Overall really nice BG movies with those LED screens. Though I can't really remember which one was when and so on. Gomen ne.
Interludr movie:
Kuu in a modern town. Ringin a bell to get to a party, but nobody is letting her in first. She speaks English here - it's not much, but it sounds good!
House Party (pink section):
Still the Mercedes on stagen, spinning. Kuu without the hairy coat. Some kind of dance routine.
Medley:
Well, But was pretty much full, ended as the mix from Black Cherry Tour final. The rest as usual. But not much is shortended.
Intro + Interlude:
Dance battle. Kuu's wearing a wide shirt over the body suit and neon pink sneakers.
Lippy:
Oh man, can't remember much here. There was a nice BG movie. And Kuu danced elevated in the middle.
Interludr movie:
Kuu is going home from the party. Says goodbye in the middle of the city to her friends, thinking about herself. And she ends up before a " Image Corporation Company". She goes in and should choose one image. But she wants to think about it first.
hands (white section):
Live band from here. Kuu in the yellow dress. Usual singing and waving.
She sounded great!
Sometimes Dreams Come True:
Standing in the middle of the stage before a mic stand, singing. Wind is coming from the front and the lower half of the dress blown behind. Looks great! It's pretty much m favourite song of the album , but with all those different vocal layers it is a difficult song to sing live. She just couldn't sing all of it. But it was an amazing performance apart from that.
WALK OF MY LIFE:
Kuu is playing the beginning on the piano and singing the first lines while it. Was quite slow at the start, you could tell it wasn't the easiest for her. Buit sounded nice.
After that song starts again with love band. Piano is driven with Kuu over the stage.
Song Menue:
Was Rain today. The first and only time Rain was chosen, Kuu said! Sang to the fan on a white couch, surrounded by her band members for acoustic.
Medley Gentle Words/ Gimme U:
Gentle Words a bit shortened, Gimme U almost full. The usual singing and waving.
Dance In The Rain:
Kuu singing in the middle of the stage. At the end she's taking the dress away, doing tissue dancing for the last part. Getting wet.in between. And she tries to sing while doing stunts! Didn't work out the whole time. But was kind of impressiv nevertheless.
Interlude movie:
Kuu tries to chose one image. But she doesn't want to decide for one, as all are a part of her. They're melting together. And yeah, there's a black hooded person followi g Kuu.
Piece in the puzzle ( yellow section):
Standing elevated before the middle screen. A two part leather outfit with an upper harnish, overknee boots and a long ponytail.
Fake Tongue:
Starts with Kuu playing drums. Then singing with the band and at some point she takes the guitar, going to the front, playing and singing. Very impressiv performance!
Like It:
PV dancw routine with her female dancers at the end of the catwalk. Sounds simple, but it was soo great. Her dancers had leather outfits and coloured hair as well.
Summer of Love promo/ PV previews
Hurricane:
Peformed in full. PV snippets on the screen. Fully danced. And she lipsynched it. Was the only time and the first time ever I noticed. But dancing was hard. Song sounds great. I think the instrumental is a bit faster than the demo, more lively.
Medley Nyngo Hime/Freaky:
The usual rock performance.
Band Introduction
Medley Taboo/Hot Stuff:
Kuu wearing the military jacket over the leather outfit. Both were pretty much full in memory. The routine was the same as usual. Playing the audience game with Hot Stuff.
Bring it on:
Like the other performances of it. But man, this song is so fun live!
Medley Be My Baby/ Loaded:
Be My Baby is shortened. Loaded is full! Another awesome live combination!
Life so Good!:
Towel dance. And it's a new one.
Fans singing Brave to get Kuu to the encore
Encore is the usual. Medley with Kuu driving the car around the arena. Then MC and walk with tissue dance. Before the tissue dance she leaves her clothes on the stage apart her underwear.
Supposed end. But nobody wants to go yet, so we're a singing WALK OF MY LIFE, till Kuu comes out again.
She's crying and thanking the audience again. And... that's it. Finding yourself and go the walk of your life.


Made some pics before the concert (it was full!) and Gubsi also some short video at the end. But sometime later, sorry.
Idk if everything is correct, but one of the others will surely edit (hm, Choco?).
I've seen Japonesque live and I like this one better. Almost no ballads, lots of screens and lights and dancing. It's just insanely fun. This woman is just an impressive source of energy and passion!
So, good night now. Going to write some more the next days, if I remember something.
I so want to see it again!

Lee^ChaN 28th June 2015 06:39 PM

@Choco: Indeed! As I've told you, you can now kill me after today's performance. I can now rip XD *shoo shoo... go take some sleep!*

@Corvina: Otsukaresama desu! Definitely one of her best tours I've ever been!!
That stage, LED, setlist, costumes (mamamia.. drool over sexiness), energy.. everything!!

Can't wait for the DVD!

Luck16 28th June 2015 07:22 PM

Queen of live!
Thanks a lot for your review Corvina!
Is there "to be continued" on the final video? Or is this supposed to be the end of her "live tour story"?

Corvina 28th June 2015 07:44 PM

No, there wasn't. It ends with "walk of my life" changing in "walk of your life" .
And at the very end there was just "see you at the next tour" written on the screen.

ayu_ready? 28th June 2015 08:08 PM

she looks fab as always

Gustavopc 28th June 2015 08:24 PM

Thanks for the review, Corvina! The concert seems to be really great, I'm so hyped to watch it!

kaled kalil 28th June 2015 08:36 PM

The concert seems awesome! Thanks for the great review, Corvina! Glad you, chocopockymaster and Gusbi had a great time there.

About the HURRICANE performance:

Spoiler:
Was it 100 % lipsync like Trust You at Secret First Class Live, or like TOUCH DOWN at Bon Voyage Tour that she lipsynched around 70%? Not that it matters anyway, just curious. :)


Nice to know that both PVs are already done.

chocopockymaster 28th June 2015 08:55 PM

^ I got the sense that it was 100% lipsynched.

Corvina, you're fab, and Leeeeeeeee I'll see you on FB. >:D I have a couple of things to add to Corvina's report but they need to wait until I'm not sleep-deprived lmfao

Look at her play the piano well. When will Nami?
But hot damn Kumi looked FIERCE!!!!! I may have to get this concert on blu ray. Maybe if there's a sexy first press bonus with Kumi playing the guitar.

Gustavopc 29th June 2015 03:25 AM

Kuu playing that guitar is actually my new sexuality now

Gubsi 29th June 2015 03:29 AM

next morning after the concert and well, what can i say?
how much i liked her last concerts, BUT THIS IS IT!
this was really amazing!

Only thing i didn't like was the medley in the encore, even ist was fun as hell and i liked it!
she hit me Hard with hands... I just began to cry just in the first seconds! Haha
The show had a great dynamic and it was really powerful and full of energy and fun!

For people who don't liked WALK OF MY LIFE i think this is a great chance to get more into it, it really makes you love it more or let you like the disliked songs!

the interlude movies/story were great!
even 2 interludes had like identical BGM like from Kingdom Hearts haha

HURRICANE was so damn good!
The pvs were really interesting!
Ex Tape is more colorful/sexy, oh lord wait for her outfit!!
HURRICANE was more dark/dance heavy with some close ups of her with gagaesque glasses and some scenes with diamonds in her mouth (maybe a Reference to the Money were my mouth is Part from the demo)
Both seems like dance PV's like BE MY BABY/Megumi no Hito But with 1-2 scenes more!
And more budget! haha

Overall it was the First Time in ages i enjoyed a concert of hers so damn much again!
You Know being a fan since Almost 12 years and getting older you sometimes don't get much excited anymore like in the past, but this tour just really showed why she's the Queen of Live!
I cried, laughed, danced and just had the time of my life!!
I've been to a lot of concerts in my life from Gaga, Coldplay to Lana to Björk (which was funnily my most intense concert ever) but this concert was by far the best one i've ever been to!

Edit:
It was so nice to meet everyone at the concert especially the new ones i haven't met before!
Thank You Guys!
Best Day Ever! <3

Corvina 29th June 2015 03:36 AM

Still kind of dead, lol.
But I guess I add something to the interlude movies.
There was a black hooded Kumi as a symbol of her higher conscious or something similar. But she was pretty pointless, cause she didn't even have to intervene. She was even saying to the normal Kumi that she got it herself, when they finally spoke together.
And... the normal Kumi forgot her pants, rofl. She was literally wearing no pants, you could see her butt. But it's a nice one, so I won't complain. :D

And btw. sorry for all the typos and mistakes in my review. Just wanted to do it as fast as I could for you guys. And before I start to mix everything together in my memory, haha.

KuuXAyu-fan 29th June 2015 05:45 AM

Thanks a lot for your reviews guys! I was worried that the new PVs wouldn't be good. Do you guys remember if she has long hair in them?

luna7996 29th June 2015 05:59 AM

I can't wait till this tour is for sale on bluray. Your reviews got me pretty hyped! And those pictures!:luv2

for EX TAPE she has light blond long straight hair, with that Outfit she's Westring oh damn Kuu Mama! Choreo is cute, loved it!

HURRICANE she has her hair back i think! Aggressive dancing!

It seems the PV's don't have much scenes like just 1 angle from front, but there seems to Be some scenes/Close ups besides that
Could Be Quite Boring like BE MY BABY/Megumi No Hito Video wise Even she looked good

No rip of EX TAPE, so no one recorded. haha

From the videos, the concert seems quite cool! Sadly they used the same effect for the filming like they did with JAPONESQUE Tour, with the colors being all washed out. And yeah.

AyuGAME 29th June 2015 05:02 PM

It's so obvious that she lipsynched HURRICANE

Dance in the rain performance looks so amazing

Gustavopc 29th June 2015 06:16 PM

^ Yeah, girl has no practice of lipsynching :roflmao At least she danced the hell out of it, I can forgive her (plus she may not be used to the song yet, hopefully it'll be a proper live performance by a-nation')

oaristos 29th June 2015 06:33 PM

She looks hotter than ever, damn.

Dance in the rain routine is a mess, it's fast and furious, kind of too fast, makes me scared not awed but I'm looking forward to the whole song.

Walk of my life is a mess, she doesn't seem to know the lyrics, I can actually hear her saying "I am finally stand from when we ended", I don't mind the dress but she could get rid of the "hat".

Fake Tongue looks so good (and I don't really like this song, I hope it's good), Life so Good sounds great, I'm looking forward to it.

AyuGAME 29th June 2015 08:12 PM

^After take a look on the clip again and again..I must agree that her tissue dance feels kinda messy and not beautiful...kinda scary...

melissalove 29th June 2015 08:34 PM

^ during dance in the rain kumi should've used an ear piece microphone instead of holding it. Also she could've used some backup singers to down her out, though the choreography is beautiful.

owlflight 29th June 2015 09:27 PM

She looks awesome with the guitar! I didn't know that she could play!

Minttulatte 29th June 2015 09:58 PM

I personally don't think she lipsynced HURRICANE. I think the sound part of that video isn't working properly, or that's what I felt like when I was watching it.

thinkingoutloud89 29th June 2015 10:06 PM

^either that or she is a bad lipsyncher.
I don't care...she added the song to showcase it cause fans a coruious. She probably did not even have the time to practice it prperly.
Don't see the issue with WOML though..

Dance in the rain routine is a mess, it's fast and furious, kind of too fast, makes me scared not awed but I'm looking forward to the whole song.

Walk of my life is a mess, she doesn't seem to know the lyrics, I can actually hear her saying "I am finally stand from when we ended", I don't mind the dress but she could get rid of the "hat".

Fake Tongue looks so good (and I don't really like this song, I hope it's good), Life so Good sounds great, I'm looking forward to it.

I'm agree with all this, except for Walk of My Life, I think Kumi was nervous for playing the piano that she forget the lyrics.

I don't think this tour will be one of my favorites (like Bon Voyage), except for some performances (like Fake Tongue).

I don't care...she added the song to showcase it cause fans a coruious. She probably did not even have the time to practice it prperly.
Don't see the issue with WOML though..

I have seen the similar issue with one episode of Fairy Tail. At first sound part was in balance with the pictures but then suddenly it changed. Sound amd pictures were in imbalance. and I personally see the same thing going on in this preview clip. :)

You guys should wait till you've seen the full concert.
All of those preview clips just work better in context.
And read some tour reviews, lol.

Minttulatte 30th June 2015 01:04 AM

^I don't want to get spoiled too much. It's better to see few prevoew clips and then stop. I love the feeling of surprise. :D

The very few times I've noticed Kumi lip-synching, I usually feel elated; she's so bad at it I figure if she did it often we'd all notice it. I consider Kumi a vocalist so I trust that lip-synching isn't something she's inclined to do on a regular basis. The few times she does it, I can usually see the reasoning behind it.

As for the tour itself, despite not being too big a fan of the album, the show looks amazing. That Dance In The Rain performance is literally everything.

Delicious n Bold 30th June 2015 01:27 AM

Kumi lip syncs? I mean I know she doesn't physically HAVE to because I know she can sing but the more you know. It must be due to heavy routines right?

pimenta 30th June 2015 01:29 AM

Preview looks awesome :luv2

HURRICANE was obviously lipsynched, but her dancing looks so cool and she looks so hot that I don't care.

I wanna watch dance in the rain's performance so bad! It looks really cool.

The only thing that bothers me is her hair, she didn't retouch it for the DVD concert >_< (pastel hair colors are pretty much the only ones that dark roots showing bother me, and that's her case) but, oh well, who cares, the concert looks amazing anyway :heart

Corvina 30th June 2015 01:38 AM

With HURRICANE I believe it's because:
1. it's new and there wasn't much time to incorporate it in the setlist ( as she shot the PV before the focus certainly lies on the dance choreography)
2. the dance routine is quite heavy
3. the whole show requires a lot of energy from her as there is a lot of dancing and stunts apart from singing.

kaled kalil 30th June 2015 01:48 AM

As far as I know, the only moments that it were lip-synch (imo) are:

Trust you @ Secret First Live
http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/DCNMZ5oRzgM

Crank The Bass @ Bon Voyage Tour
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x26...the-base_music

And now with HURRICANE.

We all know the girl can sing, so we all understand when she's dancing like crazy and doing her best for the choreography, and decides to lip-sync a little. We are not in denial like Ayu's fanbase.

@maze: The footage is usually a raw cut of the DVDs footage, so the DVD will probably have the same color issues. With Bon Voyage Tour report footage, we got the colorful footage we have on the DVD. :)

These are the only three that come to mind for me as well. I agree with the rest of the post too lol

Gustavopc 30th June 2015 02:44 AM

Where are those tea drinking gifs when you need one? :innocent

Minttulatte 30th June 2015 04:18 AM

Yeah, I watched that HURRICANE preview video again and I think you people were right about Kuu's lip syncing but I don't care. At least she doesn't do it all the time.

ilovekodaa 30th June 2015 04:49 AM

KODA KUMI >>>>>> AYUMI

Don't need to compare performances. Different styles and different performers.

Delicious n Bold 30th June 2015 05:35 AM

Damn Kumi is really giving me P!nk teas with all these acrobatics. I may have to really watch this concert!! I know kumi can serve me hot vocals (song selection questionable but I like her voice) but an epic show too? I'm sold.

happiholic★ 30th June 2015 05:46 AM

I'm worried that Kuu tried to pack too much into the show. Piano, guitar, tissue dance. I'm worried she was just mediocre at all of them. Previews aren't enough for judgement. I would rather she had picked one and excelled at it.

chocopockymaster 30th June 2015 05:49 AM

^ she killed absolutely everything. It was amazing.

Actually she didn't really lip-sync the whole song during Crank the Bass.
They used auto-tune, but she sang it live.

I don't think that Kuu is trying to excel in everything.
She mentioned before in one of the interviews that she always tries to do new various things; especially those which haven't been done by other artists (especially in Japan). So fans can see and enjoy a lot of faces/styles from Koda Kumi.
I'll be damn bored if she does tissue dance in every concert..
"Ah~ tissue dance again...again.. again.. "

She didn't sound that great (quite off-key) during dance in the rain while doing the tissue dance (damn, my heart stopped when she did that fall-like stunt!) but she sang it live (yes, LIVE)

Minttulatte 30th June 2015 02:24 PM

Kuu has always looked better at that tissue dance thing than Ayu. For Kuu it comes more naturally, and it amazes me more when Kuu does it. That's all I'm gonna say about it. :D

I gotta watch her concerts from 2012 to 2014 before this tour is released. I dunno what happened and why I lost my interest in watching concerts but I gotta get a grip and have a Kuu concert marathon asap. But first I need to get rid of the killer flu that attacked me, lol.

Gustavopc 30th June 2015 02:33 PM

What I love the most about the last tours is her interest in playing instruments. If Kenji is the one behind her interest on playing drums and guitar, I gotta thank him SO MUCH. Even if she won't a professional, and given she has probably started learning these "too late" she probably won't be, it adds so much to her artistic side. Damn, I love this woman :laugh

Corvina 30th June 2015 02:40 PM

Kuu is on the cover for Happie Nuts July, summer issue!
And there's a special with her inside.

http://i57.tinypic.com/s64ufk.jpg

Her first cover since April 2014 (Nail Max).
From Modelpress.

~StarCatcher~ 30th June 2015 02:59 PM

I'm glad she is on a magazine cover again.

The pic is awesome and fierce again *-*

kaled kalil 30th June 2015 03:10 PM

YAS! Beautiful cover!

@Lee^ChaN: As I said early, around 70 / 60 % of the song was lip-synch imo, but it had some live moments as well. :)

Gustavopc 30th June 2015 03:49 PM

Nice pic, hopefully it's a new shoot but I'm afraid it's a leftover from the SoL shooting, the hairstyle seems to be the same :/

DevilsClap 30th June 2015 04:52 PM

finally a magazine shooting with her again. I miss those
