You can buy as much as you want. But I guess if you start buying dozens of the same good, they'll probably say something. @Toniayu123: Kuu had 2 FC tours so far. Let's Party Vol.1 in 2008 and Let's Party Vol.2 in 2013. Looks like she likes it having them every 5 years. |
I'm curious to know about her entrance, 'cause at the beginning of ULTRAVIOLET she's just there. The stage does have a second floor, but it's in the middle of the triangle.
Here we can kinda see the intro for the tour and a little bit of Damn real: https://www.instagram.com/p/BS0JvKFgWOv/ And for those questioning about the W FACE DVD package, this is how it looks like https://www.instagram.com/p/BSzd2IjhIUS/ |
The projections looks amazing even tho the stage is pretty simple...

But I guess the parka is a practical concert good especially if you plan to wear it often Anyway even if goods start going on sale from 1pm onwards , I do know people who would queue very early in the morning in order to buy the more popular in demand ones When I went back Japan in the beginning of the year , I arrived at Zepp Namba at 10am & the goods weren't on sale until 1.30pm (another reason is because I wasn't familiar with Osaka) I was so early until I saw the delivery truck parked at the road side & the delivery guys handed the concert goods (they were still in the boxes) to the staff , haha I thought I was early but I wasn't as there was already a line formed outside Zepp Namba I don't know about queuing overnight to buy concert goods though , I think that's not allowed |
Quote:
Also at one point there are cups and a sofa moving on stage (like the Alice attraction in Disneyland - the theme for the fans on stage is amusement park). They need space for that. @Karen There are even more parkas, as there are parkas in different colours available at the venues in different regions. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/2j1TwO.png Nosuke, misono's husband, was at the concert yesterday as well: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/f8yshz.png And Kuu is making a LINE post before and after every concert stop and after she's posting a handwritten message and a small part of a big picture that will only be visible with more tour stops (like as puzzle). |
still no W FACE PV???
I can't wait to see it! |
Ah Marika , I didn't know the parka have different colours in each region , I thought that only applies to the sports towels :O

And I also love the mint, purple and the black ones, but I'm in Kansai and I can only buy the yellow one! :vsad Guess I try my luck with auctions afterwards. |

@KarenPang Thank you I can't put the link right. |
Quote:
I love her BRIDGET SONG look but what is up with the other dress for the ballad section LOL. |
Quote:
|
Wow those outfits are really bad except for the first one which was also ruined because of the 5 first songs she performed. Ultraviolet looks lifeless, no wonder tho it was just a bad choice as an opener, would have fit better for the third section with that awful hairstyle. The ballad section looks uninspired , same look and dresses at least she should have changed colors. Encore style must be a joke.
I dont know, I was amazed by the two new albums and that she finally came back with something sexy/mature like outside, and something for the nostalgia like inside. And then she makes a tour excluding the best songs and doing the same thing over and over. She needs a new formula, this is just getting freakin old |
Oooh the different parka colors are a good idea!! But lol why does just Gunma have its own color? It's a prefecture, it's region is Kanto. :P
I want that ultraviolet mask. |
I love her energy during Ultraviolet. I didn't like the album but I might enjoy watching the tour (the same happened with Bon Voyage). And I'm not going to complain about the stage because I much prefer Koda in smaller venues, and I actually find the triangle pretty cool. :yes
|
Love the mint dress, a side of it is sexy with the legs showing and the open part at her torso while the other side even has a long glove :heart
|
So a short review:
Opening + first segment: Pretty unspectacular to be quite honest. But she looked so hot and it is probably my favourite part of the show. Ultraviolet is a lame opener though, but it seems to be the tour theme (Kumis code-name is Ultraviolet for the show, the dancers are named after the other songs on the t-shirt). POP DIVA had much more power and energy. As for the medley that followed: It was fun but short, disappointed me a bit though. Nothing special for Insane. Bassline was performed with a big hat and a black, hight outfit while the screen showed curtains. Looked really stiff - I hope it changes throughout the tour. Damn real is one of the highlights performance-wise. W FACE PV looks pretty cool, but as a PV it is really boring. Did not buy it in the end (will probably be on the Tour DVD) Ballad section: Okay overall. I only remember Chiisana koi no uta cause everyone sang along which was cute, Heartless was performed with only a piano and there were a lot of girls crying during Ai no Uta. Overall not to draggy thanks to the covers. Enjoyed it, but the outfit is just plain ugly. Sukideshite is the song for the audience to come up the stage. Upbeat section: Really loved HOTEL and Taboo. The energy for this was pretty high. The outfit looked strange again and reminded me of M BEST Tour Miliyah and the dance break was pretty weird with some fire-streetfighter action. BE MY BABY and LOADED got the crowed and she did not perform BIO (at least i can't remember). I personally enjoyed Wassup aswell and she cried during Comes Up leaving the crowed singing it. Encore: Short and basic. Enjoyed Butterfly, other than that more talking than singing. No special ending but " to be continued". We have 5 dancers for this tour and a live band during the Ballad section. There seemed to be some sound issues as she kept giving hand sings during the whole show. The stage is he basic level and and upper level on the center pyramid. If you want to know more details, just ask. |
Quote:
Dance Intro, Long Ballads, some pop dance fun songs, then Encore. Plus... recently everything seems so budget. My poor Kuu... |
@thinkingoutloud89 Thank you for the short review! I'm really happy that Sukideshite is the song for the fan interaction, such a nice song.

Her tours always followed a (the same) formula.
They do for most artists. They're now limiting the number of denim jackets and hoodies available for buying at the venue. Edit: they restocked now on mu-mo. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/jYnflj.png Guess they severely underestimated the popularity of both. Thelma Aoyama also went to see Kuu live: http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/102...922/1tA8v6.png |
Quote:
-- It's always nice to see famous singers or even famous people going to her concert. I forgot to mention, I'm so excited for Let's Party Vol. 3. I hope it is as good as the Vol. 2, it's such an underrated concert. Hope she sings some hidden gems as she did last time and I guess we're never getting footage of the Hawaii Concert. :( About the stage being small and all, I feel like the footage doesn't give enough justice to the overall look. When we get a proper WOWOW footage, I think it will look a lot better. |
I want to say that even if the setlist looks disappointing , I'm sure the MC(s) portions might make up for it
Also physically I'm not there but if I'm at the venue myself , it will be different And I don't think the stage setup is that bad . At least it's not basic ala a live house venue setting where there's literally nothing onstage |
I have no complains about the setlist. I love it. :shrug
Bangrang could be there, but it's not like she's never going to perform the song ever. Lay Down proves that she still can bring some songs of her catalog and sing on different occasions. The stage looks fine as well, it's just a different shape that we're used to. |
I don't think the setlist so far for the W FACE tour is that bad either
Also at least there's a structure and the songs are not randomly jumbled up all over the place I know asking for a completely different setlist for each concert date is impossible (The only artiste I know that does it is UVERworld which I don't know how they're able to do that to begin with) The upside is that there will be a few different songs Kuu will be doing for each date & that aspect will change |
What I've seen of this tour doesn't have me pumped. But, I will save my final judgment for after I've watched the official release. I doubt the footage we have is doing it justice.
|
I like the setlist, basically it goes from outside to inside and then classic Kumi, there's even the W FACE PV when the changes sections and this helps on the "storyline". Plus there's always a chance a song I think shouldn't be there on the setlist ends up being one of my favorite performances and I enjoy it and the concert a lot more (: Kuu knows how to perform and I think she'll deliver just as usual for me
|
Quote:
He's just saying that Kumi's been formulaic as hell, if that's bad or good it's up to whoever watching her tours/listening her music. And when you say "obviously still working" it feels that you're talking for everyone, which you're not. It's your personal opinion, but the way you put it seems you're stating a fact, it's not. |
W FACE PV:
https://www.facebook.com/twkodagumi/...4255218078033/ Seemingly not happening much, but the symbols used totally relate to her (the water, the butterfly and so on). I like it. And it's interesting they decided to make a PV to serve for the tour thematically. |
@ahtka-chan It's not my personal opinion when she's selling out the dates. I guess this means that it's working, no? People are still paying to see her live, even if a couple of people over here are complaining that the concert has a "formula". I'm not being defensive, I'm just saying that she's doing her job and this is how she was been her whole career. Fans opinions changes all the time, and it's fine.
--- I like the W FACE PV, the golden dress is goooorgeous. |
Amen W FACE, she looks soooo pretty in the shots :heart Also love the symbols there, these are some elements she's been using her whole career and add a lot to this concept
|
So she doesn't actually sing W FACE during the live?
|
The purple hair looks great on her:love

that video was really bad imo :( that song deserves a much better video; it looks so messy.
also, why the hell is the main song not performed in concert? weird decisions all round. |

I'm freakin' love Driving Hit's 7. It's so amazing.
|
Guys, after much deliberation, I have finally made a decision. Hana is my favourite Koda Kumi song. I'm listening to it and my heart is crying.
|
^ and you mentioned sometime in the past that you dont listen to ballads, thats even more surprising. The fact that your fave song is a ballad when you are not a ballad person xd
I just want this tour to end, it's just looking bad. And the fact that even the title track was avoided makes me more disappointed about it all (even if the PV is very nice, I enjoyed it). I think the problem is this 47 prefecture thing she's started since last year, inducing her singing old hits trying to be mainstream. W FACE and Driving Hits 7 are such awesome records for my ears. This era deserved an spectacular tour like the WOML one. I was actually expecting that since she was like one year an arena tour, the next one a hall tour and so on. But I guess that's how things work for her right now |

I guess she enjoyed it plus it could have been difficult to book arenas with many of them closing for the Olympics
|
Quote:
Has nothing to do with being stuck. And I personally will wait till I see the tour before I judge it. Not to offend anyone, but tours are primarily directed at people actually attending them. This and last years hall tours are bigger than the ones for Dejavu and Bon Voyage. So it looks like she has gained concert goers. So guess what? She's doing something right. |
Other artistes also announce tours before any of their new releases are out , not just Kuu
And the fact that a considerable amount of dates are sold out for KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2017 ~W FACE~ , that's a good thing isn't it ? :shrug I personally like live house venues out of hall , arena & let alone dome due to the close proximity you get (even though you have to watch out for getting crushed to death if you're in the audience :dead2) & even if you're far at the back , it's not so bad Also for hall venues , even if you're seated on the 2nd/3rd floor , you wouldn't feel you're missing out on things . You still can get a pretty good view |
Relax people, I personally dont have anything against halls.
But, she announced this tour I think at the end of the other one which is why W face is a hall tour. I was just responding to ANOTHER comment relating to why this tour is a hall. So just stop trying to make something out of this.:eviltongu |
Quote:
This tour isn't a hall tour cause she announced it at the end of the last one. |

|
I think what Melissalove is trying to say is that she couldn't do an arena tour, because it was already announced as a hall tour. I mean, she couldn't change the type of venue later.
I think she could, if she wanted, but I don't think she would like to do that. |
Quote:
Yes it could've been an arena and it could've also been a f concert underwater but she didn't announce any of those. She announced a hall and thats one of the reasons why w face is a hall tour. What part of that don't you understand?? She already annoced it, way before the album came out. Quote:

@maze: you're right. I was thinking that, too. Kuu'S most recent ballads are everything I hate about ballads, actually. Generic goat crap.

Just wanna say that the "W FACE" tour PV is AMAZING! The entire concept is soo kuu...with being underwater, butterflies, etc... :heart I'm getting so nostalgic! :weep and boy was she GORGEOUS in both looks! :heart
*goes back to listening to OUTSIDE* :D |
a-nation 2017 dates have released & this year it will take place on 26th & 27th Aug at Tokyo's Ajinomoto Stadium
https://twitter.com/anation_navi/sta...86403468152833 Will this be the 1st time Kuu might not be performing on a-nation ? :confused For both listed dates , KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2017 ~ W FACE ~ will be happening so I don't think she will perform |
She also didn't perform in 2012 and 2014.
|
I don't know if any of you saw, but there's someone selling two tickets to W FACE Tour in the buying and selling forum part.
|
Are there MQ/HQ scans of the DH7 booklet somewhere? There is a pic I wanna use as my lockscreen :laugh
|
Quote:
She did'nt in 2012 because she gave birth To her son.... |
^ Yep. She performed at a-nation Taiwan in 2014.
|
Quote:
Not very sure if anyone on here would buy tickets to this weekend's concerts cos they will take place in Sapporo Also a real pity that there's a high chance that Kuu might not perform in this year's a-nation My sister plans to go back Japan on that week & it would have been the 2nd time she see Kuu perform assume if the dates do not clash with each other |
Quote:
It's kind of sad but oh well. I wanted Kuu to release a new single this year but I have a feeling we won't get any more new music till next year near the fanclub tour. |
Quote:
but her ballad live are so "memorable", esp when she make those wanna-cry-face while hit her chest. anyone having problem to sleep at night? please try 8min "Moon Crying" live ver from AL "UNIVERSE" or "darling" acoustic ver from Japonesque tour, zzzzz... |
Quote:
|
I like her R&B ballads compared to her piano ballads. They have way more character. But, I think her piano ones are more popular, so she just makes them as generic as possible to please the cell-phone toting, hormonal masses.
|
I don't have anything to contribute to the current discussion but I got Spotify premium and didn't realize almost all of Kuu's discography is on it. Got the chance to play both albums. Absolute snoozefests.
|
I'm still a little disappointed that W FACE isn't performed, I thought they are playing the MV in the background during her performance of the song but they aren't... Either way I LOVE W FACE MV, even tho in some parts it looks like she's singing a different song. lol

If you won your tickets in the global FC, you fetch your tickets on the FC booth at the concert venue. So you will only know your seats on the day of the concert. And thanks, wish you a happy time, too! :) |
^yes. It was quite confusing. You have to get your tickets near the goods-stand before the concerts (the goods are sold some hours prior). If not, you can get them at the venue before the concert starts. Just show them the code on your cellphone and they will show you the way.
|
Someone correct me if I'm late but Kuu's ENGAGED has been added to Spotify! (Along with the rest of the TRF cover album) Finally can add it to my playlists, I looove that ballad :heart
|
They also added IT'S SO DELICIOUS. For the covers I think just Got To Be Real is missing.
It seems that she's up to something, she has been teasing with some parts of this picture during the days of the concert on Line, and the next is the final one. https://www.instagram.com/p/BTwLiuMlnQ9/ Maybe is just for the picture itself and nothing more than that, so I wouldn't get all the excited yet. |
