a-nation '08 setlists and etc.
 

Starting with yesterday's show and what we have so far from the Japanese fans!

7/26



8/17 artist order:


If you find any other information, feel free to post it here.

Oh? What do we have here, a new song? Interesting. Like the set lists for the people I listen too~ and the fact that alan's there =D

thanks :D


gosh (*-*) LOVE the tracklist! SHE PERFORMED VENUS!
AND LADY GO!


I'm really happy ! I hope she'll decide to release VENUS

Venus is not a new song. It's the "I'm your venus, I'm your fire, your desire." song for the Venus razor.

D: Seriously?

Yes. Before Koda blabbed about fluids, she was the spokesperson for it. [hitomi did it too, and tbh, hitomi was a lot better.]

Why does Kuu perform girls so much..I like the song but it's being treated like a A-side. Glad to see Namie is performing Chase the chance...omg if it's the original mix :heart:heart

omg i really like kumi's setlist! hopefully she'll have a cute outfit... and longer hair! i'm pretty sick of the bob cut tbh.
do you guys think one of the performances with ayumi are gonna be the ones for the dvd?

They pretty much record all of the shows so that they cover all of the artists.

However, the main show that is recorded are the final ones at Tokyo, aka the ones that Ayu is going to perform at.

Kumi's setlist is good, not great. But I LOVE Namie's.

TENJO CHIKI <3

Sweet :D AAA are moving up in the world if they are on that late into a-nation :D Usually they are second or third :D I hope they perform MUSIC!!! or ZER0 at the final :P

And I thought Namie was supposed to be the ending person??

EXILE is only at a-nation for two days ["today" and tomorrow]..

Namie will probably move to that part after this set of concerts is over, as well as perform more songs.

girls became ku's Boys & Girls (without the crowd singing):laugh
Too bad I don't like girls much though. With your smile was a lot better.

nice setlists for namie, kuu, and ai otsuka. :D

so excited about ai otsukas smily performance and kumis venus one seems like it will be funny/interesting

alan performed at a-nation? cool ! o_o

WOW! j sould brother? thats mean naoto is there too! thx for sharing! i really want to see kuu sing VENUS (although i want hitomi to sing it, wait, maybe they will doing duet or sth? :laugh)

Ooo, Namie's doing Chase the Chance! Nice! :D

i don't know that alan will be performing at a-nation08
YAY!!!
Exile took ayu spot to close the show? its weird...but well...uh...yeah...whatever

I can't wait to see what songs Ami does... I hope BE TOGETHER, ONE, and Delightful!

I love Namie's setlist <3

Awww Namie didn't perform Do Me More )): Maybe she will in later dates perhaps?

Namie's setlist looks awesome. I would've liked to see Body Feels EXIT or maybe PLEASE SMILE AGAIN, but still I'm happy. =D

ah! i really want to see namie's and alan's!!! what song did alan perform?

UGH.. when EXILE's sales do very well then they have a chance to perform the last

Ai Otsukas, namies and kumis tracklists are great :>

Does someone know Maki Gotos tracklist at a-nation ?

Maki doesn't appear until mid-August.

Go to the a-nation website if you want to know when.

大塚愛
1.Pretty Voice
2.クラゲ、流れ星(新曲)
3.One×Time
4.ロケットスニーカー
5.SMILY

Would someone mind to translate track 2&4 ? I would like to know what songs Ai sing. I love her tracklist

^I'm pretty sure that #4 says "Rocket Sneaker"! :P As for #2.. all I can make out is "Club" and "new song". o_o

Oh yeah, PLEASE SMILE AGAIN:yes She would rock the stage with that song!!!:luv2
THSK setlist is good too, but where is Box in the ship???
Performing their three #1 weekly singles:yes, Summer Dream:), but please change SHINE into Box in the ship! Maybe they'll perform it later on...
Can't wait to see Ayu's setlist when she performs:)

o2. "Kurage, Nagareboshi" (new song) - "Jellyfish Meteor/Shooting Star"
o4. Rocket Sneaker

^LOL thanks! It's nice of them announcing it will air exactly in 2 months XD

Ayu?
 

I'm sorry, my japanese is not good enough yet to fully read what was written on the setlist...

is Ayu going to be at A-nation this year??

She's only going to be at the last two dates but her performances will be televised.

August 30th and 31st.

She's only at two dates, but they're the big Tokyo dates.

They will also be broadcasting EXILE's performances from the first two days of a-nation during the TV broadcast.

hitomi's there. :D i'm happy.

yay...there will be tv version of this year a-nation...

Ayu will end the a-nation not EXILE,right?

EXILE will not be at any more a-nation dates. They only were set to be at the first two.

omg! hitomi will be in TV!!! :banana1 :banana2

Thanks^^

Beh the only setlist I really like is the AAA one, I don't like Ai's One x Time and Pretty voice, not the idea of Ku singing FREAKY and Once again ^^. And wtf! Where is Ami?! Namie didn't need to sing Want Me, Want Me xD Baby Don't Cry or NEW LOOK would be cooler.

Sweet!! Daichi Miura is going to be shown on TV!!! Anyone know what he sang?? I'm hoping for No Limit and Inside Your Head

::edit::

found this vid of Namie on Youtube :D

http://youtube.com/watch?v=bATM5I2cuWo

Thank you for the clip:luv2! It was about time that she joined a-nation:yes and now the media are commenting about this unique thing:rolleyes Anyway, now we have a short preview of it:) I hear Ayu's name during the clip and that can mean only 2 things: 1. they are saying that Ayu only has 2 performances at the end or 2. they are talking about Namie & Ayu being 'rivals'?

^They mention a load of other artists performing all through a-nation then they mention that ayu will be at the final 2 perfs in Tokyo :D

Thanks:) I just heard Ayu's name;)

Namie is finally in!! Just with less songs than I had hoped for... Oh well, the four she's got are gonna be hot!

LOL at Koda and "Venus".

^hitomi should sing itttttttttttt!!!!

Namie's setlist for the 2nd date of "a-nation '08":

01. WHAT A FEELING
02. WANT ME, WANT ME
03. Sexy Girl
04. Chase the Chance
05. Baby Don't Cry

waw she sang Baby Dont cry

yeah it's great :yes
especially since it's going to be on TV

but 9/27 (O_O) it's so far :weep

yay!!! Baby Don't Cry *-*
wonderfull setlist!

thanks for the info ^^

Where is "Do Me More"???

yah. why she hasnt sung Do me more yet?

Thanks for this, but why isn't Ayu listed?
Wasn't she like, announced on the last moment? I could be wrong.

^the songlist was the initial concert of a-nation, ayu will perform in the last 2 dates of a-nation

and question, when did namie appear in the concert? opening or the last?

^ she would appear on last 2 dates, Kris

beh.. still no DO ME MORE t.t and as far as I know Namie was somewhere in the middle ^^

^ yeah shes in the middle overall...

but shes the opening act for the actual concert...
before her are those random groups noone listens to...

Does anyone know that when maki goto is going to perform ?
or has she already performed ? ;o

It wouldn't make much sense for her to perform as she barely signed with AVEX a few months ago, and as far as I know she hasn't released a thing since.

I'm late but yay for the TV-version :laugh

7 songs for kuu?? O.O

Maki is performing on the 24th and 31st.

Found the artist order for yesterday's a-nation. Ataru Nakamura performed Kaze tachinu, her latest single.. and that's about all I could find out. Other than THSK's setlist..

ouchh.. Ami wasnt the opener anymore...

quite surprise namie is the opener?

its okay rio, i;m sick of ami become it for the past 2 years

Can't wait for the final shows!

JONTE is a singer,Tian

i really want to see alan and ayu performance
can't wait for the tv version

Hmm...that's interesting that Kumi closed...I figured it was bound to happen, she's avex's 'other' diva besides ayu, and probably the next most popular of their artists overall with the exception of EXILE...ugh

Well, that's true, but i was hoping to see Namie closing and Kuu just before her, or opening

I can't wait for the final show and the TV version t.t I wonder if alan will sing SoraUta<3

woot... ok... i thought the bracket is just for minor singer

note: that doesnt mean they arent popular, please take note. they are just performing in the side of the stage, right?

someone on JPM said that Namie's not the kinda person who would stick around the tour for liek 8 hours waiting for her turn to perform...
She does things out of the norm.. so I guess her performing first was soemthing she'd do...

although shes like a big name she doesnt care to close the show...

That explains it... Well, Kuu is a huge name inside AVEX anyway

I want to see MOAR setlists! Specifically for Amigo!

nope. she need to perform first so she can leave first and spend more time at home with her son. there's an article a while back mentioning namie requesting to leave from work earlier so that she can go back home early to spend more time with haruto...

When does A-Nation end anyway? :/

That's So Sweet. She Sounds Like An Awesome Mother! :yes


I Really Wanna See The Setlists Also.

End of August. Like, the last day. [31st]

Lots Of Good Songs Being Performed! Awesome! I Think I May Buy The DVD This Year. Lol!

8.24.2008 (Osaka) Concert Report
 

Whoa. Just, whoa.

I went to a-nation's second show in Osaka yesterday, so I figured I would post what I can remember of the tracklist and some more details, since I haven't really seen any pictures around.

My friend and I arrived at the Hiroba Green at about 11:30, so we hit the goods stands, got some food, took pictures with the big blue bear, did special a-nation purikura, and waited around for the show to take off. alan made a quick, maybe 10-minute appearance at something called the mu-mo station, where she answered questions from people in the audience and did a little promo for Sora Uta. She's SO TINY! And so adorable in person.

Anyway, I don't have much time, so I'm going to get straight to the tracklisting, but if you have any questions and want more detail please feel free to ask. :) Also, I took notes during the concert but someone trampled all over my notebook and I lost a page, so I'm going off what I remember here. And lastly, I didn't pay attention to all the acts simply because I wasn't that interested in some of them, so I'll post the ones I care about most (seeing as I no longer have the page of my notebook).

Opening Acts

• BRIGHT

1. medley - Kuu's "Butterfly", Ayu's "Moments" (done R&B style, and totally awesome!), Namie's "CAN YOU CELEBRATE?"
2. One Summer Time
3. I'll be there

• Kiyama

1. home

• Satomi Takasugi

1. Tabibito
2. Yuu___kaze (Her upcoming single)

Concert

• Namie Amuro

1. WHAT A FEELING
2. Sexy Girl
3. WANT ME, WANT ME
4. CHASE THE CHANCE
5. Baby Don't Cry
Namie was wearing a strapless, bright orange minidress with black shorts and her trademark over-the-knee black boots. Her hair was simply down. She looked gorgeous, and her performance was amazing! Definitely a great way to kick start the show.

• misono

-Performed 5-6 songs, last few were a medley.
I had no idea misono was this popular, but quite a few girls in the audience were going berserk when she came on stage. Just by watching the way she moved, I could tell immediately that she and Koda Kumi are sisters.

This is where my brain gets a little fuzzy-- I remember AAA, My Little Lover, Tenjochiki, Riki, Daichi Miura, Tohoshinki...but I was kind of zoned out tbqh.

• alan

1. Red Cliff (Japanese Version)
2. Natsukashii Mirai

I was so happy when alan came out, I could barely contain myself. For Red Cliff, she came out in a gorgeous black kimono with ornately decorated sleeves that reached the floor, and I could see a dress underneath it and felt like she was going to change for the second number...and she did. She took off the kimono to reveal an ivory colored outfit; the top was like a corset with boning, and the bottom was like a super-short tutu. She looked gorgeous! And to hear her hit those high notes live was just mindblowingly cool. (Anyone who's worried about Red Cliff not sounding so "grand" in Japanese...fear not.)

• Ai Otsuka

1. Kuroge...680 Yen (too lazy to write out the title)
2. Kurage, Nagareboshi
3. Kingyo Hanabi
4. SMILY
5. Rocket Sneaker

They showed a cute little clip at the beginning of Ai laying on a beach (Hawaii, I'm thinking) and one of her minions is out surfing when he gets a phone call reminding him that Ai is due to be at a-nation...so he goes to pick her up, and when she asks him to get her car ready, he comes up with a palanquin instead. xD And then Ai comes out in a palanquin escorted by two of her minions, singing the beginning of K680 acapella, and pausing after every line to get the crowd riled up. She wore a red/black shirt with a poofy skirt, and what looked like rhinestone Hello Kitty high-tops! Totally cool. The sun was just setting when she sang Kurage, Nagareboshi and Kingyo Hanabi, which was magical. And hearing them right next to each other only reinforced my belief that Kurage, Nagareboshi is the love child of Kingyo Hanabi and Planetarium.

• Maki Goto

-She performed two songs, though I'm not sure what they were. The second song was one she either composed herself or wrote the lyrics for...whatever she did, she said she did it for the first time. I wasn't that blown away, TBH.

• Remioromen

-5 songs, the last of which was a new song entitled "Motto Tooku e"

• TRF

1. ?
2. Boy Meets Girl
3. ?
4. Live Your Days medley, don't know the other half
5. ?
6. no more cry ~SURVIVOR DANCE~ with Tohoshinki
First thought that popped into my mind when they came on stage was, "Damn, they all look a hot mess." But then Yuki toned her outfit down and Chiharu and Etsu changed and Sam put a shirt on, so it was all good. SURVIVOR DANCE was way fun; Tohoshinki came out and sang along. The one that's super good at break dancing was having like, a choreographed fight with Sam on the catwalk that had some pretty fancy moves in it. But I hear this isn't a number they've done at the other concerts, so it was pretty cool to see.

• Koda Kumi

1. Lady Go!
2. Venus
3. Cutie Honey
4. Moon Crying
5. Once Again
-dance battle-
6. FREAKY
7. BUT (I think?)
8. Crazy 4 U, Real Emotion, Butterfly medley
9. I honestly can't remember....
?. Shake It Up (She sang it, I just can't remember when)
I thought her setlist would never end, omg. She was in a hideous pink outfit with pale pink lipstick for the first 5 numbers (Kuu, I'm asking you nicely: please don't ever try that again) and then put on some horrid baggy jumpsuit for her more hip-hop numbers. Don't get me wrong, I love the girl, but it was a serious mistake making her the last artist. I would have much preferred to see Ayu, obviously, but TRF got everyone going a lot more than Kuu did and as such, the end of the concert was kind of a letdown, sadly.

And that's that. I feel amazed to have been able to see so many artists I love (except Ayu, of course) and hopefully I'll be able to make it again next year.

Word to the wise: if you ever go, bring something to sit on! There are no chairs, just dirt. And bring your own food/drink.

Wow at the medley!
I hope they will include that medley in the DVD.

waw.. Kuu sang 9 songs..
ckckck

ewwhh where was Ami??
she didnt perform?

chocopockymaster - so cool, i want to see some pictures

^

OMG

Best set list. EVER.

BUT and FREAKY and Girls and Lady Go and Butterfly and Real Emotion and Venus and Moon Crying = <3 *_* But only one/two perfs are recorded for a DVD right? Or can the perfs be watched with a TV version or something?

Namie Performed?


I'm Surprised?


Go Namie! & Kumi got to sing alot I see.

Where Ayu?

Ayu will only perform on the last two shows. We actually knew that Namie will perform the last few months XD

yeah.. she will perform on 30 and 31st august

Oo, a letdown.

Final setlist order:
As for what people performed.. no one really knows yet.

"<Shooting Act>"?

Shooting Acts are basically up and coming acts.

Like newbs to avex. They generally get a setlist of one or two songs and that's about it.

^Oh, okay, thanks~

i really wanna see the alan and the Girl next door performances!!!

wow! GLOBE???? COOL!

DS;LMGFASFK;LAS GLOBE.:luv2:luv2 TK looked so good damn. Pretty good for a 50 year old :innocent

and he is breaking his keyboard as usual!
