I like it as well. Just 4 ballads - it's really upbeat and there are some surprises!
And from the placement if the other new songs, they're probably at least midtempo as well. Can't listen to anything as I'm in university.

First, i like she sings new song to a lot of audiences in hall, the way to promote I'm glad she selects some songs that are not single and some songs that i think i have no chance to see their live again like Escalate or Show me your holla And eventually Hotel is sung!!!! But i still hope for Kimi Omoi live Last edited by abestfah; 1st December 2015 at 01:41 PM. |

Also CDJapan lists a B2 sized poster as a bonus giveaway for all 3 editions of WINTER of LOVE (excluding the CD + DVD fanclub edition)

Wow, NO ME WITHOUT YOU is the opening song? That's unexpected, really wanna see how it sounds like! Maybe retro-ish given SMYH comes right after it?
My comments on the setlist: Spoiler:
Overall, many good songs and even some surprises here'. The songs I don't like are not bad, they're just not my piece of cake but a good performance can make it up for it... So, yes, I love it! I would have just added more first things era songs, there were many more post-UNIVERSE songs than I was expecting, but it ain't such a bad thing also |

I feared she would do much of the overperformed classics - but we already had her 10th Anniversary and Fantasia for that, so I think it's a great move from her including so many more recent songs.
Edit: Here's a report from a chinese fan, who went today. Would any of our chinese members be so kind to summarize a translation of it? http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4191028561?...&is_jingpost=0

From Koda Kumi Italian FC
Our friend Tony James attended the 15th Anniversary LIVE: The Artist and we are happy to share his thoughts on the experience: "I just saw Koda Kumi's 15th anniversary show: The Artist, in Osaka. I wanted to share a few highlights from the concert with you. Before the concert they had the camera going around the stands and they would instruct the fans to do funny things. If you were the best you would get a Christmas present. Eventually they were having couples give each other kisses. They shined the camera on two guys and told them to kiss and they ended up doing it. So they won and got their Christmas present, which was front row seats! The concert started out with Koda Kumi singing her new ballad. It was really beautiful. After a few introduction songs the concert was broken up into 3 sections of what makes Koda Kumi the artist she is. The three sections were: the voice, the dancer, and the entertainer. They would show a video and interview with Kumi before each section. The Voice section was really beautiful and Koda Kumi came out in an extremely long white dress that they projected beautiful lights, stars, and flowers on. She also performed another one of her new songs On and On. The dance section was my favorite. She performed a new song, which I think she called Cupcake (she said Buttercup a lot in the song too, there was a really good rap part from a guy.) Then for the entertainment section (this was the encore) she did a mix of a few songs and rode around on a cart. She showed a few seconds of a new music video. I can't remember which song it was for but I believe she said there would be two versions, one for the phone and one normal size. The video was koda kumi taking selfies and scrolling through instagram. My favorite part was that she said she will keep singing, maybe even go to a 30 year anniversary. She joked and had a lot of fun with the audience which was really cool to see. They're really strict about pictures and videos at the concert but there are a few on my instagram @toeknee1018 from before the concert. I'll be attending the concert in Tokyo too so hope to have some more. Hope this information is helpful" And they uploaded 45s of NO ME WITHOUT YOU. Very beautiful piano ballad |

I try my best Marika from the link you posted ; http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4191028561?...&is_jingpost=0
From what the fan wrote in Baidu on what he (or is it she ?) wrote -- Outfits wise , Kuu wore as follows : Opening of the concert , big white cap & a long skirt which she changed to a pair of black trousers soon after Next , Kuu wore a white wedding dress where images were projected on the skirt potion of the outfit Following that , a red wedding dress and Kuu sang on top of a chandelier prop and she tore out a large portion of the skirt from the outfit o_o Next outfit , purple (not sure what outfit this's though) After that , halter bodice & hip hop trousers Last outfit , is where the user posted photos on http://tieba.baidu.com/p/4191028561?...&is_jingpost=0 which he/she took secretly inside Osaka Jo Hall -- No fan selection -- On And On will have 2 different PV versions . Kuu said other information will be updated on Facebook in due time

^ BEST ~four seasons~ maybe?
LOVE the concept of the sections, much more than the emotions for FANTASIA! And it looks like there was much more going around than during FANTASIA also, I am loving this concert from what we know so far |

Thanks a bunch, Karen, I appreciate!
Also thanks for the other summary. I uploaded the preview for NO ME WITHOUT YOU on my YT account: Sounds like a fan thank you song from the lyrics.

No to the ballad; it's completely void of any type of "winter" atmosphere. Ugh, missed opportunities. Serve us something more developed please. This song doesn't paint any type of strong visual for me. It's like someone playing a piano. At least Ayu's JEWEL paints a picture of snow falling in suspended animation. This song doesn't demand a context, which is disappointing.
Thanks for uploading though. Last edited by Zeke.; 1st December 2015 at 06:59 PM. |

I love the setlist so much. It's fabulous as fuck~ Hopefully Cupcake gets released at some point because I really want to hear it.
And according to the preview of NO ME WITHOUT YOU, I'd say it's beautiful. I'm definitely going to listen to it like a batshit crazy fangirl when it's possible~ |

I can see that the preview of NO ME WITHOUT YOU might be for the first chorus, and then the song become stronger, with more instruments as the song goes by. And I was right about the chorus being "there's no me without you" hahahaha
--- Lets compare the songs from the concert with that list of 20 songs people would recommend to somebody: Spoiler:
--- Anyway, my comments about the concert setlist: Pros:
