【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!!!

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

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..

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...

On her official site are some lives in damaged cities cancelled. So I guess Kuu is alright, cause the rest is still up!
Just hoping the her manager and staff is alright as well.

No, I don't believe this, I guess someone is absolutely cruel and fooling around with that search function on google!
As I said the tour dates from 13-19 April are already cancelled on her official site, they wouldn't do this if Kuu would be harmed.
Twinkle !

i hope she's okay :cry

I think the whole concert would probably be canceled.. it's just not the right time for that. There's huge damage here all over japan..
it's so terrible, and noone know when it's gonna stop
i hope she stays safe somewhere in tokyo

11th March 2011 10:22 PM
Now it just says "someone is looking for Koda Kumi" not that she is dead, so hopefully that one was just a prank. :/

I'm sure she is ok..She could be one of the many people without power or trying to figure out what to do next and hasn't had time to update everyone.
On a brighter note and I dont remember seeing this being discussed before but is the guy in the movies from DMP the same guy in the Bambi video she ends up with in th end?
Minttulatte
11th March 2011 11:18 PM
Argh, there's still no news about Kuu's whereabouts? :/ I've been worried about her all day long. Of course I'm very positive that Kuu is alright if they're updating her website. I hope that we will know what's up with Kuu. :)

For people freaking out about Koda Kumi, her official site cancelled tour dates in Sendai. That probably means she's ok, at least.
KUU is safe!!

I highly doubt anything is wrong at all. I mean, the power is out, right? That would just mean that neither she nor her staff, have the ability to tell everyone her whereabouts.

Well they did cancel her tour dates in destroyed cities on the website. I'm not gonna be pessimistic though, this just makes me how much I would miss her presence in the music industry world :(
ayu and kuu should collab for a charity single ala a song is born :)
AyusakiFan
12th March 2011 01:28 AM
YAY!! I'm so happy that she is okay. I literally checked for her on the website less than 10 minutes ago and she was not even listed and now she's okay, thank God! The status of her sister is still unspecified though but I hope she is okay as well!
Status is changing because it says someone thinks she's alive because of her website that shows cancelled tour dares.. But it's not actually official that she's safe. :(
^I just understood that she's asking us to pray for the victims in Japan and something about a concert for a tour she made on the north of Japan and people were asking her for 'Ai no Uta' and 'Ai no kotoba' on the encore. Something like this. So sorry I couldn't help better.

To all the victims of the earthquake off northeastern Taiheiyou "
Today, people the victims of the earthquake occurred off the northeastern Taiheiyou, many also think that some people come in with severe anxiety painful than you think.
When you live in the northeast to go with my own, to all the fans who came to the venue before the encore, "Love Song" and "The Word" to Itadai singing, great excitement from the fans I remember vividly that I got.
Now, even those who are so embittered, I think some people are filled with foreboding, even a little hope for your support 出来Mashitara through music.
I sincerely pray for the speedy recovery of those who one day the victims.

YAY! She's still alive! (My scales are 95-99% alive/5-1% dead...glad she's on the alive side!)
But I do feel bad that her puppy died, then all of a sudden an earthquake...
It basically says that her thoughts go out to all the victims. And she hopes that her music might be able to help/support them, if only a little, in these difficult times.

I think about the things that happened to my fans who feel insecure, it's more painful than expected,
The time I went to do live at tohoku, when it came to encore those fans sang "ai no uta" and "ai no kotoba" to me, i still remember how I feel their support.
Now, theres a lot a people having bad thoughts, and I think many are insecure but, even if a little bit, through a song if you could help it would be appreciated.
And I truly wish the speedy recovery of the people affected by this disastrous day.

I'm so happy that Kuu is safe. I received Dejavu in the mail yesterday and didn't feel comfortable listening to it until I found out that she was safe as I could hardly concentrate with everything that has been going on. Right after I did though, I did listen to the CD and watched the MVs and I am so pleased with the whole album! Every song is excellent and this album is worth every dime I spent on it. Great job Kuu!

「To everyone who has been affected by the earthquake coming in off the Northeastern coast」 Today, I think there are many people who are inflicted with anxiety, in a situation so much more frightening than they could ever have imagined, because of the earthquake coming in off the Northeastern coast. I myself had held a concert in the Northeastern parts, and when I sang "Ai no Uta" and "Ai no Kotoba" for the fans before the encore, I saw how greatly touched they were. That memory is still fresh in my mind.
Now, there must be many who carry nothing but painful emotions, and many more who feel nothing but anxiety. But if you can listen to my music, and if that can give you a little bit of energy, then I'll be very happy.
Praying from my heart for all those affected to be able to return to normal.

It seems that the first dates of Dejavu tour are already sold out despite the disaster. Japanese people seems to live like nothing has even happaned. :)

The Japanese have always been very resilient and resourceful. I think everyone is still worried and upset, but they can't stop the whole country, so they have to move forward with everything they have. If the earthquake and tsunami were closer to Tokyo it might be a completely different story, but I think people would still want to try and go about everyday life as best they could.
I'm so glad Kuu is confirmed safe.

I would think that the sales would be higher with fewer venues. Since there are people who were probably planning on going to the canceled shows, they now have to go to one of the ones that weren't. Not that Kuu wouldn't sell out anyway, those concert halls are always packed. My mom's jaw dropped when she saw the number of people at Black Cherry Tour.
LOL @ the extremely photoshopped straight hair. the curls look beautiful though.

I could see the extreme photoshop in in thumbnails. Didn't even need to see it in HQ.
EDIT: I'm just realizing that B. Howard had a hand in making the music for Passing By. I'm quite impressed with him, its a beautiful song, singing aside.

I love the background of the photos. She looks so pretty with the curly hair. The one where she is sitting down she looks a little different.
