Edit~

The stage has a catwalk, it's just like the JAPONESQUE Tour one

It was like on the album. She wore a white/gold dress for hands, but then when the lights went out, the dress part hung off her like a skirt with a slit on the side so you could see her leg. She sang it in front of a mic stand like a real rock performance. It did seem odd to change suddenly like that, but I think the transition went well with the lights and stuff

[jiarongisme]

The setlist seems pretty meh tbh. But I would love to see how she can work it in the concert.

[maze]

everything seems so boring

gimme u is masterpiece and she sang half of it? how is it possible b*tcch

---that outfit is so horrid---

[ayu_ready?]

I don't like this setlist

[happiholic★]

The only thing I see wrong with the set list is that Gentle Words is somehow mixed with the horrendous crap that is Gimmie U.

[Diva_br]

The setlist is awful, I expected it to be the anniversary tour she sang some old songs (from affection - grow into one) and would have more sense.

But no TT____TT

[Gustavopc]

Don't worry guys, she's probably saving the old stuff for the second semester

[matt9210]

^ Has she confirmed any plans for a tour around her actual anniversary date in December?

Do you guys remember what she did for her 10th anniversary? Gonna be in Japan from the end of September for a year, need to see this woman!

[Gustavopc]

She didn't confirm, but this tour was first announced as a 15th Anniversary Tour and then she changed the title, so I hope she's saving up for something actually comemorative by the end of the year, neat the actual date of her 15th anniv.

For her 10th there was UNIVERSE Tour from April to June (which is pretty much how this tour is gonna last), then Dream music park for two days in July, which was a kind of extension of UNIVERSE Tour yet not a Special Final. Around October (iirc) there was ETERNITY ~Love & Songs~ at Billboard Live, which were simple concerts in a small stage, I guess there were like eight dates only. Finally, there was FANTASIA at Tokyo Dome on December 5th (one day before her 10th anniversary).

My guesses/whishes for this year are another FC Tour, cause she always perform some forgotten gems on those, and a special concert in December. Not necessarily a dome, I think they're too big and it looks a bit empty without a proper stage, but still something bigger.

^I'd love a big concert at Nippon Budokan.

[chocopockymaster]

^ I would rather another Tokyo Dome performance. I've seen Kuu at Budokan and yeah, it was cool, but not special enough to host a 15th anniversary performance imo. I think in general it's highly overrated as a venue.

[maze]

she did PREMIUM NIGHT Love&Songs at Nippon Budokan and I havent watched it yet, lol

[Gustavopc]

Actually I'd love anything but a round stage concert, they are cool cause of the spinning around thing, but they are so empty ~~: A stage like TRICK Tour, with mini-stages on the sides, plus a catwalk would be perfect

[Princess_Of_Roses]

So i relistened to walk of my life because i felt robbed i really only like 2 songs on there (like it and hotel) well i found out I LOVE piece in the puzzle. Thant tongue roll thing she does in the verses. Omgoodness!!!!!

yes! I don't like center stages, that's exactly what I disliked so much about Premium Night @ Nippon Budokan. I mean, she could've used a regular stage, although , I guess considering the venue, a center stage was the best option :/

Agreed. PREMIUM NIGHT was fun to go to (especially given the company--thanks, ladies!) and it was a bit of a novelty because we went to her birthday show, but I don't think I'll ever watch that concert again. The stage was definitely lacking, but there's only so much you can do with that setup. :/ I will say I really loved seeing Do As Infinity at Budokan, but they're much more about the music than they are about the ~show. That's not meant as a slight against Kuu in any way, but I think the possibilities for setting up the stage are really limited compared to a dome setting where the sky's the limit, so to speak.

Centre stages are great when you're at a venue. I will always appreciate them.

I would be very surprised if that happened.

[Honey_Jae]

Hm don't like the setlist. Hope the performance will be good

[kaled kalil]

@Miichan I don't now why she wouldn't perform at Tokyo Dome for just one date. One thing that she sells is concert tickets, and for FANTASIA the tickets were sold out really quick, they even selled new seats that you could barely see the stage, only the big screens haha.

I'm not a fan of the round stage neither, even when a performer has a lot of props (like The Circus Starring Britney Spears) the concert always felt so empty.
Weirdly I'm not a fan of Tokyo Dome as well. It worked well for the Black Cherry Final Live, because the stage was really well put togeter, but for FANTASIA it felt like a REALLY big stage for so little of performances. She even got lost at the end of Lick me♥. haha

I can see she doing a new small venue tour since she loves so much those small places, which she can really conect with the fans. A Summer Concert would be great as well, but I don't think it's going to happen.

What would be great as well is a small Asia Tour, or even a couple of Taiwan Concerts, with all brand new things.

I like that, during those special dates, she always do a special performance. We can really see why they say she is the Queen of Live.
