【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
20.Lick me

EN2.Megumi no Hito
EN3.UNIVERSE
EN4.Dance Part
EN5.It's all Love!(w/misono)

W Encore
WEN1.COME WITH ME~Lady 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

WEN3.WIND
WEN4.walk

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...

Picaflor 7/4 28th January 2011 12:49 AM

aitakute sounds like a TLC 90's type of song. slow dance/ballad. Sounds nice. Her vocals are terrible though from the very first note.

So far the only songs I like are lollipop, and pop diva. anata and aitakute are ok but not really memorable to me. I don't remember what either sounds like.

maze 28th January 2011 12:56 AM

this album is turning out to be amazing :heart just as I expected.

does anybody have a mp3 rip of Aitakute?

amazing first thread btw :3

jbrat2219 28th January 2011 12:57 AM

Excellent thread Cherrim!

Aitakute's chorus gives me subtle hints of Dilemma by Nelly... At any rate, it will have to grow on me but it is really nice!

Twinkle ! 28th January 2011 01:00 AM

^^ I made a fast audio rip for Aitakute with my creepy program , so don't expect too much XD , but anyway it's nice < bla bla bla

here you go :D

I really hope kuu will have another performance of aitakute to promote Dejavu.

Well, now you're just trying to find something wrong with it. Good thing you're just an opinion.

This album has got me psyched, though. :heart I just can't wait.

Cherry Dynamite 28th January 2011 01:46 AM

Actually I agree with Picaflor, the song is awesome but her vocals isn't as good as her other lives.

emi♡ 28th January 2011 02:06 AM

Aitakute is cool~

she seems like, it's more like an unfamiliarity with the song more than anything, because she's not really off key or anything, she just seems a little unsure of how to go about singing the song and where to change her vocals and stuff.

jean-baptiste 28th January 2011 02:08 AM

i agree with Picaflor as well. i wouldn't say they were HORRIBLE, but that first note was a bit weak. but she quickly picked it up. awesome performance overall.

yeah. probably cause the album's not out yet, it's still a new song for us and for her, she's never sung it live before, and it's a "how should I sing this?" first time experience. Which I think is what made her sound a bit uncertain and flat and weak in parts. I think people saying her vocals are amazing are just not over the "wow" factor of hearing a new song for the first time.

se7entheaven 28th January 2011 02:11 AM

I'm sorry ayu, DejaVu is gonna pwn Love songs. Win!

Kingdom 28th January 2011 02:21 AM

lol if that is "weak" vocals, I might need to get my ears checked because she sounded pretty good! the opening to it started out shaky but by the end of the song I was in love.

no, I just think she did fine. nothing sounded terrible to me. :shrug I was actually impressed.

jbrat2219 28th January 2011 02:24 AM

I kind of noticed the first note being a little off but it wasn't horrible. Plus like someone said, it's new for her and all of us so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

So the first note was a bit off! I thought I heard something, but I assumed it was me XD

love in music 28th January 2011 02:47 AM

speaking of her live vocals, I think 99% of the time kuu is really good singing live. she sounds almost identical to the recordings of her songs and a lot of the time even better. that's just how I feel lol some people might think I'm crazy but w/e.

jbrat2219 28th January 2011 02:48 AM

But seriously, I'm the only one who thought of Dilemma listening to this song? I swear I heard the little "oh's" in the background, too!

her live vocals are really good most of the time. But I think this time around it sounded weak in the beginning. Maybe she was nervous performing a new song? :shrug

pretty much except every now and then her dance songs will sound a bit off. Probably because she's dancing and singing, and she doesn't sound so horrible I can't listen, but like when we were getting all the lives of TABOO, sometimes she sounded really good and then other times she was really nasally.

yeah, if she's dancing a lot then it's alright for her to not sound as good.
her live voice is why I'm glad she got the Queen Of Live title for Japan. no matter what, I know that whatever live I watch from her is going to have good vocals.

Somebody needs to add the fact that she is the Queen of Live on her Wiki page :P

MsMiyabi 28th January 2011 03:17 AM

I heard Pop Diva today & I must say I like the song very much. Has it been released yet or anything? Sorry I been out of touch with Koda Kumi for a while.

jean-baptiste 28th January 2011 03:20 AM

wow, i thought that "The Queen of Live" was just a term us over-zealous fans came up with. i didn't know Japan actually gave her that title. that's awesome!

We're all waiting eagerly for it to leak -- I mean be released properly :D :D

honestly, I'm not surprised Kuu got the Queen of Live nod. I haven't seen anything like her performances, and I'm completely hooked on them. She can rock a stage and has a great voice for the most part (I've never been bothered at her live singing, anyway~). It looks like so much fun to see her perform ;; I'd love to go someday...

I don't think there was like an official award but I think it's what it says on her DVD covers nowadays. I think there's like a sticker on them that says "QUEEN OF LIVE"? and then it says it on her Official site when they announce a new DVD or concert.

Bad Wolf 28th January 2011 03:34 AM

And God said, "Kuu is the Queen of Live." And God saw a Kuu live. And it was good lol.

Zeke. 28th January 2011 04:23 AM

Yes the QUEEN OF LIVE was very self (avex) proclaimed...

Polyrhythm 28th January 2011 04:58 AM

Self proclaimed or not, she obviously deserves the title. It's not like anyone else in Japan puts on a show like she does.

Celaphorce 28th January 2011 06:26 AM

So Black Candy is getting a pv?? I'm really late on this news, that or I'm just paying more attention to Dejavu than I am to Pop Diva(single)

Minttulatte 28th January 2011 07:02 AM

I'm in love with Aitakute. <3 It's beautiful as hell, and gets better with every listen. I can't wait for the album version. *_* Chorus gets stuck in my head, and I can't stop listening to it on repeat ^_^

I'm so gonna love this album. :) It sounds so awesome already to my ears.

And I love Kuu's live vocals. They're so good, they've always been. :)

maze 28th January 2011 07:21 AM

I think POP DIVA will do fine & looking at the decent amount of promo surrounding it (for magazines & TV) , it should do OK

I don't care about sales , just nail that top 5 position once more Kumi :P

Lee^ChaN 28th January 2011 09:52 AM

KarenPang 28th January 2011 09:57 AM

lmao Flo , it's not . POP DIVA definitely wouldn't get #1 but I'm not so bothered about such things & it's a good thing that Kumi doesn't have any #1 streak to feel pressure to keep/uphold

at least it wouldn't tank on Oricon , I mean she has been getting top 10 positions for her stuff from Kiseki onwards so it's good enough for me

I'm so easily contented :laugh xD

Minttulatte 28th January 2011 10:00 AM

I hope POP DIVA won't sell like Alive/Physical thing or Can We Go Back, because it's a awesome song :3

I love how avex always puts kumis releases on weeks of hard competition, 'cause it's always been the same, and that makes the security to have a #2 or #3 but never to fight and suffer for a #1 strike!
Ayu always releases stuff when there's no competition, so we have to consider that nowadays #1 or #3 is very relative on what labels wants to get :)

Melting reminds me of a YUKI song whos name escapes me just now. Bambi is a new style of cute for her but its still not my cup of tea. I wonder if the album version of Pop diva will be significantly different and not just an extended intro or outro.
Maybe I missed it, but how come there's a PV called "be my baby" but no song with the same name on the album according to the tracklist?

You know I never noticed that until now. XD

They obviously hire photoshop Pnübs who can't do something as simple as edited out backgrounds. And now that you pointed that out on the secret cover I can see a white outline around her hair where they did a sloppy job of cropping out the background. You would think that someone would notice that considering it has to gets like 10 people's approval before it get sent to the printers. Shame on them:no
