:yes My thoughts exactly.
I suppose that wasn't possible though, such a shame!

Oh yea, I was thinking of shine more :P

EXACTLY. It's such ******** that they're saying there's no point in rescheduling because it was supposed to be on her 20th anniversary. Screw you guys, just delay it and have it be a special show. Ugh. Poor Namie.

I would just love to know why would they risk scheduling it outside during typhoon season X_X

Well, this sucks...had they just done a dome concert in the first place...though I guess the dome tour wouldn't have been as special then...

this

what were they thinking:thud

Because it wouldn't have been on her 20th anniversary, you don't understand ...
:P

Yes we know that, but just logically thinking and not even regarding it's a special concert, why would they plan it during typhoon season

**** my life :thud

Wasnt Namie debut in Tokyo or something? And wasn't she ever said she know Tokyo better than Okinawa? Sometimes I wonder why she wanted to do it in Okinawa :laugh

^I think Okinawa just holds a lot of special memories for her. She was born and raised there and held her 15th anniversary (or was it the 14th?) there, so I'm sure it was just a sentimental place for her.

I think it's unfortunate that it was cancelled, but like so many others, I wished they would have moved it to an indoor location.

^ I don't know for sure, but I would imagine that Okinawa does not have a large indoor venue. :(

This really sucks though because I was hoping that we would be getting two completely different shows from her this year. Now probably the Dome tour will become a mishmash of what was supposed to happen in Okinawa and whatever they already have planned for the Dome tour.

I hope it will be a mishmash. Not only because I would like to see what she came up with to perform but also all that hard work of rehearsing would be for nothing.

Damn, sucks that the concert was cancelled! Must be a lot of disappointed fans!

Gosh, If Okinawa was your motherland would u come back to it on ur speacial day??? It hold every little special thing in a person's memory dun u think?

Back then in 2006 she also came back to Okinawa and wrote a short message to her mother at the end of the LIVESTYLE2006 pamphlet.
The message was:

Quote:

How I wish from the bottom of my heart,that we could have sharedthis 15th anniversary with you by my side,wished that you could have witnessed this memorable performance and experienced the moment together.I will sing and hope that my songs will reach you. To My Beloved Mother With love...from my heart. ~ R.I.P~

They didn't move to any indoor venue because Okinawa venue was not big enough for 27,000 people, and also the stage design and everything else related to concert would not fit.
I'm really sad it was canceled due to typhoon, but the decision was reasonable.

to me, it's just damn plain bad luck. If the typhoon arrived a few days earlier or later, none of this will happen! Damn unlucky it hits exactly on sat and sun.....
*SIGH*

Maybe it's just me being optimistic but I feel that Namie loves and respects her fans and will try to find a way to make it up to them. It maybe something in the dome tour or it maybe something else but I just feel confident that she will make it up to us.

^I hope she can do this concert...maybe not the day of the anniversary but some weeks later?Maybe next year?
I hope Namie doesn't feel too sad... u_____u

If they reschedule or not that's up to her.
But she doesn't own us anything.
