Yeah, the stage for FANTASIA also bothers me... The fact that there was a huge stage and it was so less "utilized" than it was during BC Tour gives me a feeling of a rushed concert, like they decided suddenly on holding the concert and didn't prepare it properly. Specially for the ballad section, absolutely NOTHING happens there oh Lord.

FANTASIA's ballad section is perfect as it is. There's absolutely no need to use so much stuff to make that performance better because sometimes just the artist on stage is enough. I would rather look at that than look at 10 people acting something they got no talent for. :')

Yes, FANTASIA's stage looked so big because it wasn't taken advantage of properly imo.
Also, I didn't enjoy the interlude videos (super tacky).

I like when Kuu goes simple and intimate on ballads performances, I LOVE concerts like Billboard Live, but taking Tokyo Dome and singing 10 ballads without anything else is such a wasted potential. Not to mention she looks so far away from the audience in that huge catwalk... It's not that the section was bad, it just could have been much better imo /:

Even the outfit wasn't that good for the ballad section, the hair was so UNIVERSE Tour flight attendant. And also, she can have a ballad section with only her on stage, but things needs to happen to make it interesting.

The section from Dejavu Tour was great, we got three different outfits, some "hologram" stuff. Premium Night also had some special moments, like the usual snow for you, that beautiful "chandelier stage" for 1000 no kotoba, those lamps during Rain.
Even Kingdom Tour had a special moment with the acoustic band, sitting on that bench.

I agree that sometimes it's only about the performer and the stage, but she doesn't even seems connected with the audience, she's so far from them, walking around...

I loved the ballad section for UNIVERSE tour, that water fountain stage was so beautiful during ai no uta!

for some strange reason I loved this ballad section as well.. it was just about kuu and her voice.. she sang some old gems in a great medley.. the 'come back' performance was my favorite because of all her ballad PVs showing on the screens, it was so beautiful and nostalgic... and '0-ji mae no tsunderella' with the perfect lyrics and instrumental, awesome I even cried a bit haha

I print-screened the two pages from the new Koda Gumi magazine with pics from the 15th Anniversary Promo shooting cause, well, girl looks fine as hell, and decided to share the images here. Enjoy

I'm sure she could still fill the dome, but people probably wouldn't rush to buy tickets the same way they did, she's not as popular as she was back then.
I'd rather have her perform on a smaller stage, I don't want them to throw her entire budget on something like one dome concert.

I love her simple stages at her concerts the most, when she concentrates on singing, possibly dancing and the audience, she shines the brightest.
When artists add 20 overdramatic dancers acting poorly around tacky props for every song it kills the mood.

I think Kuu won't be able to hold a dome tour right now. people, maybe, wouldn't buy it. currently they love dome tours of boybands mostly. solo artist? don't think so.
but it would be nice and refreshing to have a stadium concert

If she releases DH7, I wonder if we'll get the remix of Pearl Moon they dropped from DH6.

I don't think also, but I guess everyone is referring to a special one-date only Dome concert, like FANTASIA. Probably she could manage to hold one.

Yes, I'm talking about a Dome Live, not a Dome Tour.

Yeah I can't see her doing a nationwide dome tour either, but a two- or three-day event would be fun.

(What I really want is Dream Music Park II but I'm not going to hold my breath, lol)

I'm not sure about another Dream music park, but I'd LOVE to see a Dirty Ballroom ~second night show~

This information, along with the official covers were released on Baidu when they first announced Driving Hits 6. But, obviously, Pearl Moon never ended up on the finalized tracklist. So this is why I'm hoping they'll put Pearl Moon on Driving Hit's 7.

If the Pearl Moon remix was a "warmy" one I probably would have loved it. Wonder why it was nixed?

Ah, I completely forgot there was supposed to be a remix of Pearl Moon on DH6. It sucks that they left it out. I bet it would have been epic.
