I really enjoy the ballad part (minus Ai no Uta) - I like all the songs and her voice is heavenly, especially in the old song medley (Someday :heart).
Though I do agree with you that they could have used the stage more for that part.

Just browsing a bit through the global FC and this explains a lot why Kuu can enjoy her daily life without being bothered by people in public. :laugh

I guess Kuu is 1 of those people that probably doesn't need to disguise herself in public when she's not Koda Kumi the celebrity

If so , then Kuu doesn't see the need to conceal herself when she is out & about with her family

Kind of reminds me of DAIGO as he said before when he's out in public not being a talento , people already knew it's him based on the way he talk & look

And there was a time when DAIGO for some weird reason went all out to conceal himself & yet people still know it's him which's a downright fail on his part , LOL

Hahaha, yeah, she's basically hiding in plain sight.
People probably go like "Na, that can't be her, must be somebody looking like her", cause they don't believe she'd do things like a regular person.
Reminds me of the story of her simply going to the convience store with her son, where he recognized his mommy on the flyers for DNA Tour and they had to bring one home with them.

I think is just that there's a lot of girls inspired by Kumi's or with similar fashion and beauty here in Japan. So people must assume that she's actually just one of these girls.
