U've watched through Namie's Live Style 2011 and still said that Namie was lack of enthusiasm in her performance?? I mean, seriously??

Well, of course she has great performances too, but most of the time she has that poker face and even though her dancing is good she seems mechanical. I loved her Best Fiction Tour, she had many enthusiastic performances there. In the previous tour is was half of the songs but in Live Style she went back to 'been there, done that', I've tried to watch any other tour before Best Fiction but it was again this kind of mechanical performance to me.

But I'm not a Namie fan, I've tried her music and I liked many pieces a lot, I appreciate her voice and her perfect choreography but it's hard not to compare her with Kuu who is exploding all the time. Namie seems to force herself to remember to change her expression or to smile (which doesn't make her worse artist), Kuu is overflowing with emotions and enthusiasm all the time and therefore her dancing is more enjoyable to watch to me. It's just my opinion.

Never watched Live Style 2006, but before Best Fiction I'd tried to watch Play tour 2007 but failed miserably, back then I forced myself to watch her PVs to understand why poeple like her so much, back then I didn't like any of her songs or PVs, Best Fiction tour was so called last chance before giving up and I was surprised I found pretty much every song totally amazing at first hearing. I remember rewatching it about 3-4 times the same day again.

After that I tried to rewatch Play Tour 2007 and some PVs (eg WILD which was my fav during concert) but still didn't like it. Until last years tour (past > future? forgot the name before) I was only enjoying her Best Fiction live, now I also like most of Past Future live songs and I really enjoy half of the Checkmate collab album, so I was anticipating the Live Style tour but after first watch I found it worse than BF (my personal opinion, no one has to agree), the sound was perfect, the intro videos were great but her performance didn't move my heart.

Sorry if saying that makes Namie fans angry, since we talk about Kuu here I wanted to describe the joy of watching Kuu (and I'm not talking about Kuu touching herself) comparing to technically better artist that despite her advantage is less enjoyable to me. As for the pictures, well, you know we can as well post some caps with Namie's poker face during dancing, it's not going anywhere (I wasn't denying she has some moving performances anyway). I'm sure I will watch Live Style 2011 again someday but for now I got it as mp3 on my player, it's great concert to listen to on a bus before work. But if I'm feeling down and need to cheer up I still chose to watch Kuu's concert ;p

haha no fans are angry here dun worry, i just captured those pict just to let u see that u couldn't find them in BEST FICTION TOUR & that Live Style 2011 has so much more energy Hope u'll watch it again, i agree that the 6 opening songs were quite COLD, but after that the show blew her previous tours away.

P/s: PLAY tour was horrible IMO, dun watch that one =-=
