She had amazing vocals...something a long live-show sometimes takes away

Gosh, it's just namie standing still singing hero in a beautiful dress. I'm feeling so cheated haha I really disliked it - for the whole expectation, basically.

In my opinion the performance was overhyped. They were keeping it in such a secret like she was about to perform from space or another extraordinary location. Also she didn't sound that amazing, the moment music was quieter she was weak. I like Namie and appreciate her work but this wasn't an outstanding performance in my eyes.

It was not a WOW perfomance but it was really good for (possibly) being her last tv live ever.

I follow a lot of people from Japan on Instagram and I was surprised to lots of Instagram Stories about Namie on Kouhaku (and those people never post about anything related do J-Pop). So I think everyone was excited to see her again on TV!

I totally agree but as we know it's not something new (overhype). I kinda felt that this performance was overhyped in many ways. It obviously wasn't bad, she looked fine (except this IMO horrendous hair do), her vocals were okay/good but that's about it. I am not trying to be negative or anything, it was fine, it would have been a good performance if she was simply promoting the single but for a last appearance it felt kinda underwhelming. I can't say I was "disappointed" about the location since I was pretty sure it was only big hype about nothing but I expected more from the performance itself... I must agree with maxikot when it comes to how vocals were with less support of music... Maybe she should have chosen another song, used the stage more etc.. The performance was fine but that's sadly it... Sadly because although I didn't expect any special or outstanding venue, I hoped for Namie to "go with a bang" or at least with a memorable performance but on the other hand, what did I expect as it was Namie performing on a TV show...God, this post sounds much more negative then it is supposed to be...

Let's even say the performance was beautiful, even though I personally can't say it was but fine, she had (in theory) a pretty dress, sounded proper, some kind of special stage, lights, so technically it was fine or, let's say, beautiful. But I still can't say it is memorable in any way.

It's memorable because it's her last performance. But that's about it. I agree with you ^

First round of tour goods are out!

Mostly just things with the logo. I'm guessing she hasn't finished the photoshoot yet lol

I like the black&white theme and like that the logo is simple and elegant. But I wish the parker had a design on the back as it looks a bit plain. Can't wait to see the photoshoot and the rest of the goods!
