【KODA KUMI 10th Anniversary FANTASIA 2010.12.5 at Tokyo Dome】

Chapter 1: Joy

Starts with Kuu walking, the movie shows her sexy legs walking in luxurious high heels. When she enter a LIBRARY
And she opens a book
The scenary is a BIG library! THE BIGGEST SCREENS I'VE EVER SEEN FROM HER!

Start: We can see only her silhouette over the lihgt

She asks: DO YOU KNOW WHERE I AM?


1.Butterfly

She flies from the back top to the stage!!! She was incredible using a purple dress with butterfly wings!

2.show girl
she takes out the purple outfit, and she's dressed with some mini-dress with tail (like show girl performance from TRICK Tour) It was yellow!

3.Cherry Girl

Very cool!

4.Ima sugu hoshii

REALLY SEXY! She took out the tail from the yellow outfit

5.Lolipop

Same choreography

6.Crazy 4 U

Same choreography

Chapter 2: Anger

The movie shows Koda Kumi Joy(sexy) x Koda Kumi Anger (rock)
When they "fight" against each other
by the end she says it's ok because they're both Koda Kumi.
And the screen asked us to shake the red light

7.Selfish

Very COOL, but the outfit wasn't the best, but it was cool anyway.
She did the chain choreography again and also that ending

8.Ningyo hime

Coo, she takes a rock singer microphone

9.we will rock you~real Emotion~BUT~FREAKY

She was in the middle stage! HER ENGLISH WAS PRETTY COOL

Chapter 3: Sadness
One of the most funniest videos. A cry-over-the-top Koda Kumi appears. We have to shake the blue lights for her stop to cry. When she stops, she starts crying again out from nothing! And everytime the Anger Koda Kumi irritates her and she cries. But when she cries a lot a BIG wave comes and get everybody wet.

10.Ai no Uta
A blue tacky outfit that I didn't like at all, but her hair was pretty cool.

11.Rain~Promise~Anata dake ga~come back
REALLY COOL, but ***** forgot some lyrics as she always does xD

12.0Ji mae no Cinderella

Pretty, she was sitting in the stair

13.TAKE BACK(Accoustic guitar ver.)

PRETTY PRETTY!

14.Moon Crying
15.Ai no Kotoba

She was in the top of something xD

Chapter 4: Pleasure

This Koda Kumi was the CUTEST ONE EVER! She was so happy dancing and singing...everybody laughed a lot of her happiness.

16.Koi no Tsubomi

OMFG!!! JESUS CHRIST! WWHAT WAS THAT OUTFIT??? HER BEST OUTFIT EVER!!! EVER EVER EVER! I ALMOST CRIED WHEN I SAW HER SHE WAS ****ING CUTE OMG GOMGOMGOMGO She flied, and also a huge book flied too.

17.Inside Fishbowl

THAT WAS AWESOME! IT MADE ME LOVE THE SONG EVEN MORE!
They showed the Koda Kumis frmo the pvs, and also there were 2 spaces in the middle of them, one occupied by Kuu and the other one by Shinnosuke. They made the same choreography from the PV! That was hella cute!!!

18.Gentle Words
19.Someday

WEN3.WIND

She get on the top of the ribbon and it lifts her up. She flies to the main stage.

There's a HUGE book, and it opens, also 3 pages...and then she enters the book and it closes!

Then there was a message which i forgot! But this time nothing like To be continued. THANKS GOD! hahaha

Later if I remember more, I come and tell!!


★ Report by Psychotic_X @ JPM
Spoiler:

I just got home... ill do a quick review now using the setlist provided cause i forgot some of it...
in general it was a good show.. but nothing spectacular for her 10th year anniversary tbh...
her black cherry special final at tokyo dome was more extravagant

The opening was Kuu walking through a library and she opens the book called "The Legend of Koda Kumi"...
she blows a kiss and a butterfly appears and then the screen blanks and the lights move around...
until it shines on the end of the catwalk at the top and there's Kuu and she's in the butterfly outfit...

Chapter 1: Joy (PINK)
1.Butterfly*
2.show girl*
3.Cherry Girl*
4.Ima sugu hoshii
5.Lolipop
6.Crazy 4 U

* For these songs she sang only a bit of the song.. the verse and the chorus and then she changed to the next one...
Then it shows Kuu walking around and then theres like an explosion of some sort..
and shes fighting with another Kuu (but dressed in black)... and they have an arguement and then it turns into the Angry section

Chapter 2: Anger (RED)
7.Selfish
8.Ningyo hime
9.we will rock you~real Emotion~BUT~FREAKY

After the pink Kuu and the black Kuu fight... they run into a white Kuu whos crying..
and when she cries she causes the water to run.... and she cried so much they got wiped out by a massive wave...
This lead to the Sadness section...

Chapter 3: Sadness (BLUE)
10.Ai no Uta
[Short MC]
11.Rain~Promise~Anata dake ga~come back *
12.0Ji mae no Cinderella
13.TAKE BACK(Accoustic guitar ver.)
14.Moon Crying
15.Ai no Kotoba

* She was explains that her 10 years being a singer has gone by so quickly even though 10 years is a long time..
and she talks about how 5 years of it was really hard for her.. and that she wants to sing some old songs..

After the white Kuu, the pink Kuu and the black Kuu come back on the screen...
they go into this happy place... where they see this Kawaii Kuu-chan..
and then Kuu realises that her journey over the last 10 years has been a mixture of emotions..
there were Joyful moments (PINK), Angry moments (RED) and Sad moments (BLUE)...
then she takes the hand of the Kawaii Kuu chan and then it leads to the next section...

Chapter 4: Pleasure (YELLOW)
16.Koi no Tsubomi
17.Inside Fishbowl
18.Gentle Words
19.Someday
20.Lick me

For the encore video... the Kuu that opened the book comes up on the screen..
and she tells everyone to play a game with her.. Kinda like those DDR, guitar hero types..
shes like in ur left hand use the Pink and the right use the Blue and then play these songs with me...
After 2 levels she starts the encore..

Encore:
EN1.BE MY BABY
EN2.Megumi no Hito
EN3.UNIVERSE
EN4.Dance Part
EN5.It's all Love!(w/misono)

W Encore
WEN1.COME WITH ME~Ready Go!~So Into You~WON'T BE LONG~TABOO~Trust Your Love~Chase~Cutie Honey~No Regret~love across the ocean -remix-~Come Over
WEN2.Suki de suki de Suki de
[MC with Shintaro and Misono]
WEN3.WIND
WEN4.walk

The ending starts with Kuu singing walk and shes riding on this giant bow..
the same kind thats on the FANTASIA goods... so she rides on it down the catwalk to the mainstage..
and then at the end of it she does some acrobatic stuff and then at the bottom of the stairs theres a book...
and she lands in the book..
then the screen starts and its like....

Tomorrow Koda Kumi will begin her 11th year. She will continue to sing and to make you smile.
Or something along those lines and that was it....

In general the show was good...
The yellow corset outfit was the best... after that it was kinda gross..
especially the Black dyke look she was going for with the wig....

Once again guys theres NO band... the staging was rather simple...
the screens at the back moved around from time to time..
and the circular catwalk section lit up and lifted into the air.....

The goods line wasnt too bad but they sold out of alot of things..
including the glowsticks.. so I didnt get to use a glowstick!! GRRRR...
also they were trying to keep with the colour theme so there were notices around saying that if you brought your glowstick from last time.. please dont use it...

So I have to ask, do you really like Kuu? Even casually, I mean? Your posts on the Ayu threads seem to indicate the contrary/

An .avi version is uploaded in Jps. :) It's 1.22gb so I guess it's HQ-er than what we have?

No I really like kumi a lot! I own a few of her CDs. I just like to make trouble. lol I mean you know I'm somewhat of an ayu-stan, but I don't like all of kumi's music. I like some ballads, and the skanky stuff, but some of her ballads and poppy stuff is crap to me.

But nah...I :heart me some kumi.

ストロボ・EdGE 14th December 2010 04:50 AM

Ok I see. For me, Kuu is like a fine wine. I don't have it every day, but when I do, it's delicious and pleasant. Weird word choice.

tenshi no hane 14th December 2010 03:45 PM

Another part of the BRAZIL interview~ she talks about love.


Spoiler:
Koda Kumi
----With the use of 5 keywords, she talks about the last ten years


LOVE

My values have really changed in these last 4 years. In the past I thought love meant to ‘give and take’. But my thoughts have changed as I’ve grown older. I no longer think in terms of ‘give and take’; I no longer expect some kind of reward. It’s important not to expect a reward. That’s true love in my opinion. Loving someone can cause you pain, but the way to erase that pain is also by love, isn’t it? That’s how I feel now.

In the past I wanted to get married really badly, but because of my new way of looking at love, I no longer have that strong need. Marriage means that you want to marry someone. Getting married itself isn’t important; wanting to be with someone, that’s what’s most important. So if you’re attracted to each other and as a result you really want to be with each other, marriage is waiting for you. That’s how I feel now.

Also, up until now, I have constantly been saying ‘marriage, marriage’, but actually, if I am the only one who wants to get married, then there’s no way I can get married (laughter). My partner also has to think ‘she’s the one!’. I have to become a person who the one I love looks at in that light. Marriage is a happy something, but I think it also carries risks. Men have to take responsibility and that takes courage. And women have to change their last name which can be troubling, and there are also cases where she might have to quit her job. But if you still want to be together despite knowing these things, then I think that’s the moment to get married.

Moreover, even if I did get married, I always want to stay in love with my partner. My mother will be 50 next year but she still says that she loves my father. Because I have such wonderful parents, I want to have a relation that’s like theirs. That’s why I want to stay pretty even if I get married in order for my partner to stay in love with me. There are also people who say that doing so is too tiring and think it’s fine to be a couple that’s only friends. But I won’t become tired. Making an effort for the person I love brings me happiness. “I am doing my best for your sake!! Praise me, praise me!” I’m that type of person (laughter). And when I get praised, I can keep doing my best.

I want the person I love to be someone that I can respect. I want that person to always be higher than me. In my case, when I think that someone is really great, that’s already the first step towards love. And smiles are also beautiful. Those two aspects haven’t changed since the past. My father also has beautiful laugh lines. When I see those wrinkles, I think, ‘he laughed a lot in his life’. Also, when you’re in love, you’re only able to see a person’s good sides, but I also want to see and show the bad sides as much as possible. Because if you don’t like someone with those bad sides included, then the relationship won’t be able to survive if something happens.

Only when all those things come together, you can image ‘marriage’ concretely for the first time, right? So you shouldn’t say the word ‘marriage’ thoughtlessly. I wonder whether I now feel this way because I’ve grown older. Your way of thinking definitely changes as you grow older. You don’t age for nothing (laughter).

MUSIC

more to come soon~


T/N: It's still impossible in Japan to keep different surnames when you marry.

Gubsi 14th December 2010 04:00 PM

Yeah, I don't think so. I think Koda looks better with the super long straight hair with weird streaks in it.

But Ayu looks pretty with it...I watched the dumb short version, damn avex, and I like how she styled it. It's not reminiscent of kuu or anything at all. And she looks nice, so meh.

tokyoxjapanxfan 14th December 2010 07:36 PM

I think that was one of the funniest thing that's happened, hahaha xD

ayumisrael 14th December 2010 09:12 PM

I got my BRAZIL copy today, I love it!

I love ayu's hairstyle now, it's one of the best that she had, and so was kuu's when she had it. ^^
It actually was my most favorite hairstyle that kuu had and I'm glad that now ayu has it too!

ストロボ・EdGE 14th December 2010 09:15 PM

Did any Brazil fans go see Kuu when she was over there btw? She needs fan-attacks like how it's been done for Ayu at LA and London. :yes

kaled kalil 14th December 2010 09:51 PM

I guess not. A friend of mine tried see Kumi but at same time she was in other city (he was waiting her in front of his hotel). And in another day that he tried again she wasn't in the hotel anymore.
I didn't know anybody who saw Kumi, so sad :(

I'm trying to not see the pics from BRAZIL, I want to wait my BOOK :tired

jbrat2219 14th December 2010 10:08 PM

Isn't there a site called Kumi Brazil? Didn't they know or organize anything?

I agree, I dont like the color at all, it looks messy >.< it didn't remind me of kuu's hairstyle/color from her Black Cherry era either XD. I can't believe that's ayu's hair, her hair looks so nice in the preview of Dream ON/Love songs PVs, I thought that was her current hairstyle/color ;_;

omg thanks for the scans Gubsi, and tenshi for the translation!

BRAZIL is as epic as MAROC if not better. Kuu & Leslie really know how to make such amazing shots.

Ayu might be able to rock that hair, what is it for anyway? PV shooting or something? And how did it get confused for Kuu?

I need POP DIVA right now and also those new live 3D performances!

I think it's just a different hairstyle for the hell of it haha. She had extensions in for PV shooting in LA, and when she took them out it was just shoulder-length blonde hair. Gubsi saw it somewhere and thought it was Kuu, I guess!! I'm excited to see the hairstyle in motion and in different lighting, I think it'll look great. She'll probably show it off at Best Artist! Kuu will be there too!

I'm really excited to hear POP DIVA and see the CM. Will she be in it or just the music? Or do we not know?

love in music 15th December 2010 07:58 AM

I finally watched Fantasia even though it wasn't the best quality.. and it was pretty good, the stage was so gigantic! it was great to see her perform Selfish again.. and omg the acoustic guitar version of TAKE BACK is awesome.. she needs to record that and release it on a single or smth. the walk ending was fantastic, god that looked so dangerous lol I love how she's not afraid to take risks like that. I need to see the full concert!

Okay seriously... Did Kumi and Ayu switch hair styles???

Kumi: "Girrrrl I really liked that Mirrorcle World style you had goin on, but Imma make mine longer for BEST ARTIST."

Ayu: "What would you suggest for me, cutie honey?"

Kumi: "Remember them highlights I had during my secret era? Girl, get those!"

Ayu: "kbbthx."

At this point I would not be surprised if this conversation went down....

KarenPang 15th December 2010 03:16 PM

Kumi sounded really strained there :x , I really hope her vocals wouldn't get affected

she needs to rest them but since MSSL is taking place next Fri , I kinda doubt it will happen :tired & let alone promo for POP DIVA will start when the new year comes too T_T

Didn't she just wrap up Fantasia? I'm not surprised her vocals are strained, I noticed it, too. She still sounds good though.

I thought she sounded quite unlike the usual...a lil more husky...but it still sounded really nice...except for the "demo" at the ending part where she cracked A LITTLE..

kaled kalil 15th December 2010 04:23 PM

@emiko
Do you have the list? Because ay825 software never works here. :(
If you have, could you send to me?

@jbrat2219
Yeah, and I'm in the team of KumiBrasil :D
But when we knew that she was here, she was in another city, not Rio de Janeiro anymore. And in the next day she was leaving the country. :irked
Also all the things we knew was just rumors, we didn't have the name of his hotel or the locations that she was shooting.
When we discovered was too late :(

oh Lord, my english is a trash LOL

Kumi sure has an great voice, her performances are always exciting and award worthy. I am proud to be a fan seriously. She is so fun to watch.

i love her dress in the performance though, but to be honest from a far view, she look like ayu from hanabi performance AT08
