She is so great to watch live, and her vocals were great for the entire show.

Here's my brief overview of the show.

Spoiler:

The entire show had a video game theme to it which was really cool at some parts and super cheesy in the best way possible at some parts. There were several times that I could help but laugh at how silly and fun some parts of the videos were, they were so “Koda Kumi-ish” I loved it lol

So she wore a pink outfit with a long ponytail during the start of the show, then when “HAIRCUT” started they brought out a bunch of salon chairs and Kuu sat in one with her back to the audience. They show a close up of her ponytail on the big screen, and then one of her dances cut it off with a pair of scissors. She then put on a long purple wig and she started singing. At one point the dancers started blow-drying the wig with hand dryers, and the wig changed colors, from purple to hot pink. She eventually got out of the chair and pulled off the bottom part/extentions of the wig so that it was sholder length. Eventully she took the pink with off with a bunch of dancers in from in her and revealed a short green wig styled very similarly to her short hair during the Trick tour. Near the end of the song she left the stage and there was a video on the screen showing Kuu posing in outfits from previous tours, such as kimono outfit from the walk of my life tour, the flight attendant outfit from Universe tour, and show girl outfit form the Trick tour. Kuu can back on stage in a kimono inspired outfit and a shoulder-length blond wig and finished the song.

They brought 3 fans on stage during HOT HOT and Kuu grinded on them while they sat in the salon chairs. Lol.

She wore a long white dress for 心からI love you – Never Enough. At the end of Koi no Tsubomi when the music stopped Kuu started singing the first couple words of the chorus again, but then goes “oh, it’s over” and laughed a little. It was really cute.

After NEVER ENOUGH she changed into a red dress for OTTA MY HEAD. At the end of OTTA MY HEAD she took off the bottom of the dress and went to perform the aerial move where she wraps herself the cloth hanging from the ceiling, but instead of tumbling down until she’s hanging upside down, like usual, she just got lifted into the air, was in the air for a while and lowered back down, it was really weird. But she later addressed that in the encore saying that something got stuck and so the move didn’t go as planned and that it was a huge mistake. She said that she really wanted to show us how it was supposed to go and asked if we still wanted to see it. Of course the audience started screaming that we wanted to see it. They then brought the cloth back out and replayed just that section of the song where she went up in the air. When she was in the air right before the trick she yell something along the lines of “here I go, everyone watch me!” and she performed the trick perfectly. Once she was back on the ground they showed the footage of her messing up during the actual performance again, and she started yelling about how embarrassing it was. Lol. But she said she redid the trick in the encore because it was only the second date of the tour, and that if she messes up on any of the other dates she’s not redoing it. It was a special “one-time-only” event Lol.

During the rest of the main show she was in a sports top and baggy pants. WATCH OUT had a kind of basketball theme to it. During the performance of ScREaM she was in the air the whole time with really funny random cartoony stuff happening in the background. I laugh several times at how fun and silly it was.

At the start of the encore there was a choice between 1.Popin’ Love Cocktail, 2.Life so Good, and 3.Lady Go! Every cheered for Lady Go! the most. It then showed a fan on the screen and asked which song they wanted to hear, the fan held up 3 fingers for Lady Go! so that’s what kuu sang.

The MC during the encore was SUPER long. Like I’ve been to 6 of Kuu’s concerts now, and this on by far felt like it had the longest MC. Kuu certainly can talk for a very long time! Lol but she was super cute and funny the whole time, she answered some questions from her fan club members and she explained the whole mishap during OUTTA MY HEAD.

However the was another mishap that happened during the show that she talked about. I can’t remember which song it was, maybe Lady Go!, it was one of the songs where she usually swings a towel around. But when she came on stage she forgot to bring her towel with her so one of the dancers gave her their towel to use. At the end of the song the kiss the towel and threw it into the audience as usual.

During the MC the showed the fan who caught the towel and she said that she felt bad that he didn’t get her actual towel, so she had a staff member run back stage and bring out her towel. She then kissed it and had a staff member go switch towels with the fan. Lol

Over all it was an amazing show and I loved every part of it. My favorite performances where definitely HAIRCUT, ScREaM, and Guess Who is Back. Kuu definitely never disappoints and I can’t was to see the show again this upcoming Monday!

Thanks for your review! The haircut performance sounds so awesome. Would you happen to know why Kuu said it would be better to have seats farther away from the stage?
