The stage is really great with wide screens. It's really comfortable to watch the screen this time. Plus we had these great seats even tho we're on 2nd level 1st row, but it's really close to the arena seat. We didn't have people's heads blocking on the view.
The opening starts with Japanese pagoda or house or yeah something to do with Japan image scenery and then there is this gold dragon flying all over the screen (with the "follow me.. follow meee...."). Simple but really nice! It gives you the Japan's vibe!
So Nice
Mama kumi came out on the middle of the stage sitting on a sofa (i think) on her Kimono and folding fan (just like Best second session tour opening with Get It On) She looks like an oiran, both elegant and ****ty
*that's mama for you* What's great about this part is when she stood up, the middle stage turned into a red bridge (really cool concept! and was one of my favorite parts!)
DDD
It got rearranged with Japanese traditional music instrument (Koto) and it sounds reaaaalllyy great!!
On both songs she didn't move that much (no wonder with those huge geta on her feet.. I'm sure you can kill someone with those shoes
)
Jonetsu / Ai wo Tomenaide / Sayonara no Mukaugawa
Well, ballads as you know. They were good but yeah.. ballads.
I forgot in which song that she stripped her kimono into mini red dress and then the dancer put a yellow cloth on her.
Ko-so-ko-so
AWESOME remix with rap (mr. blistah maybe?) Some dancers got some "victims" to the stage and got them tied (poor girls). Mama Kumi came out in sexy blue outfit (no, it's not shown on the pictures we had)
Interlude
VIP
Great as usual~ She wore the white outfit with colorful beads on the chest (kinda disappointed with the outfit, cause she could make it more sexy and dance-like outfit)
Pink Spider
AWESOME!! I love the background movie!
In the middle of the song, she was in the bird cage (just like in the PV) and then it was covered in a black cloth and *poof!* she was gone! *love Mama's trick!*
ESCALATE
Mamamia.. LUV IT!!
Slow
It's so-so..
Dance part 1
It was good
Black Cherry - Juicy remix - Hot stuff remix - TABOO
BC and JUICY were very short (Boo.. no bottle dance) But great!
Dance part 2
It was GREAT!! Daaaanceeee KUMIIIII!!!
There was no special collaboration today.. so Cutie Honey is removed to encore part.
Interlude
Alone / Koishikute / darling ~accoustic ver~ / Ai no Uta / Brave / Koyoi no tsuki no you ni / In the Air
well ballads again. If you don't like her ballads, you might skip this part.
I personally loved it.
She wore the blue layered dress (just like MissElin said.. but yeah not my cup of tea)
Interlude
Boom Boom Boys
GREAT.. Too GREAT to be put into words! She wore the black, white transparent outfit with green or brown jacket (I hated it when I looked at the picture, but it turns out to be great)
BLING BLING BLING
rock version.. again.. GREAT!!
Before the song came to the end, there was a drum popped out on the stage. Mama kumi went to the drum direction.. and guess what... she played the drum!!! The intro to No Man's Land!!
No Man's Land
AWEEEEESSSOOMMMEEEE!!! I LOBBBBEE ITTTT sooo MUCH!!! She plays the drum for some times too!!
Since when can Mama play drum?!?! really great for a beginner!!!
Outside Fishbowl ~FREAKY~Selfish~Love Me Back
It was so much fun!! There's a part of Love Me Back which is arranged into.. something jazzy.. But GREAT!!
BE MY BABY
How can you hate this song?! AWESOME!! Dancing all the way~
Poppin' Love Cocktail
Fun as always!!
Encore
Lady Go! / Cutie Honey / Lovely
She appeared on the truck. Guess what.. we were less than 2 meters from her!! Too bad that she didn't see us below the truck
But got some hi-fives and hand-clapped with her dancers!!
She wore the T-shirt with her face on it and black & white printed legging.
Shake Hip!
So much fun with this song. I wish she wore some sexy outfit tho!
All for you
Like usual..
Walk
also like usual
The ending closed with her sitting on a big hola-hoop, did a lil bit acrobatics and entered the stage.
Overall, it was GREAT!!
My favorite part was of course the rock part. It was really damn good. I don't mind not having the cutesy-part (but still wish she sang Love Technique). This time she has so many dance & rock songs, and I'm satisfied. The only thing that I was disappointed, probably the interlude movies. I didn't understand a thing! (well okay I understood a lil bit)
But 31 songs? I'm so proud of being Mama's kid!!
