I went to her Christmas live again, it was amazing, her voice was so powerful and clear. She was walking along the isles again, came to me so that I could touch her hand and so I did!:-) So happy!

I would like to listen to it, but as long as I'm in Japan, I don't dare to download stuff and I don't have money to buy it. I also wanted to go to her concert in Tokyo last week, but I was sick. ;_;

[EndOfTheWorld]

I totally missed this album somehow. I didn't even know she was working on anything. I'm glad I stumbled across it on the japanese amazon.
After listening to the previews, it sounds like her previous album. But still a great batch of rock songs. I'll have to listen to the full album another time.
I also added a video preview of the album for everyone.

I went to her concert (birthday special) this week! It was insane!

She performed the classics Lovin' you, BREAK OUT!, Kanojo to Watashi no Jijou and Yumemiru Shoujo ja Irarenai (Twice).

She also did some covers like OLIVIA wo Kikinagara and Black Widow

No way! I loooove Lovin' you, I had been dreaming of hearing it live. You're so lucky! :-) Please tell more about the show, where you were standing and the audience.

The day was crazy because in the morning weather was hot but just before entering the concert it started raining (Some fans just had to stand on the rain). 98 tickets were sould through Nanase's Fanclub and they have priority entering the venue. My ticket was non-fanclub #30 so I was called out after 127 people (98+29).
The venue was rather small but when I just entered there were a plenty of space. Anyway I'm traveling along Japan and I had to found a safe place were to put my bags and coats while enjoying the concert so I placed myself at the very back. Fans were all in 1st floor (standing, no seats) while her family and special guests were on the 2nd floor (seating).

Setlist:
1. Lovin' you
2. Bokura no Endless Dream
- Cover Songs -
3. OLIVIA wo Kikinagara
4. Missing
5. Yasashisa de Afureru you ni
6. Yoake no Breeze

Highlights:

• TRF's Chiharu sent flowers to Nanase
• Singer Keiko (Never heard of her before, she's not globe's KEIKO) entered the stage and sang happy birthday to Nanase with the audience. She shamelessly promoted her own concert.
• Track #13 is a cover of Pokemon's song Meowth no Party. She said "Today is Nanase's party" so she asked the audience to sing along and replace the lyrics parts about "Meowth" with "Nanase". She sang the song holding a Meowth plushie.
• A purple haired-kid (I believe to be Nanase's son) entered the stage on Track #14 and played as baterist. Nanase's literally kicked him out of the stage at the end of the song, it was funny.
• Track #20 she said the concert was so much fun "Do you want us to play a song from the setlist once again?" Nobody replied so she just went "Ok. Yumemiru!".
• They were selling goods: Photo sets, T-shirts, CDs (Last 2 albums) and Blu-rays (Of her old concerts). All people that went to the merchandise corner bought T-shirts I saw nobody buying photo sets or CDs/Blu-rays.
• You were forced to buy a drink per ticket (600yen)
• Audience was 40+. Prior to this I went to Anna Tsuchiya's concert, she is also a j-pop/rock singer from Avex Trax and the audience was 60+.

Concert was so much fun. I didn't know all the cover songs but the ballad ones were very touching. For me the best part of the concert was Lovin' you and OLIVIA wo Kikinagara. Sweet Emotion and Yumemiru were also very fun the audience was pumped.

Thank you for detailed report. I've only attended 2 of her acoustic concerts and one festival where she was a headliner. I was always curious how her regular solo concerts looked like. Had no idea there was a numbered queue.
