Goods: I got there at 10 when they opened and the line was already around the building. I waited about 40 minutes and all the shirts had already sold out!
JAPONESQUE:
The opening was typical Japanese scenery with the red bridges, her outfit was that of the promo pics. At the end of So Nice there were projections of fireworks on the ceiling, it was very beautiful. D.D.D had a new arrangement.
KO-SO-KO-SO they brought audience members up, and they actually TIED them to the stage props and Kuu danced up on them!
I would die!
For one of the ballads (I can’t believe I don’t remember which song) her dress was basically made out of a big screen, she was raised up on a platform and they had projections on her dress, like in THE ARTIST.
Interlude movie: It was Strip, I like it a lot and has an urban sound. The movie had 2 kuu’s dressed in the past Japonesque outfit and present. They were facing each other while singing.
New tracks: Get Naked is pretty cool, performance with light sticks. The candy song (k?) used the exercise balls that Kuu posted on Instagram about the new MV. Livin la Vida Loca was half English and half in Japanese. OMG was pretty intense, Kuu balanced on top of her dancer in the air (tissue dance)
Encore + ending: The dancers taught us how to dance to part of Put Your Hands Up. At the end she faced the white screen so you could only see her shadow, she undressed and jumped into the “water.” Then the movie leading to black cherry was her swimming in the ocean.
BLACK CHERRY:
Opened with the movie of her swimming, and then she jumped out of the fish tank. the set was a pirate ship and it was so cool! The part I loved was the giant pirate flag with the skull that slowly changed into her face. Then there were other effects like smoke rings in the shape of cannon balls. Also was a part where she pours a drink for the pirates, and the glasses start smoking. She flipped the bottle prop in the air and was suppose to catch it, but she missed and it fell onto the floor
Cutie Honey had a Jazz-ish arrangement.
Heat: the talking skull on the screen was explaining they were looking for the golden key. The audience members were brought up and they sat in chairs.
Ballads: she was in a princess type dress and the stage added street lamps.
Twinkle: was the Japanese version. They played the video in the background. Was nice to see younger Kuu!
Interlude video: New song, no idea of the name. I liked it and it seemed to have a little urban vibe as well. Video was like from Japonesque but with the pirate costume.
The latter part of the show was the same as before.
Ending: the lead in movie to Japonesque was Kuu opening a door, cherry blossom petals flowing out, and Kuu going through the door. Then, it said “See you at the arena tour” (!!!) (The end of the Japonesque show it just said “see you at the next show”)
