Best concerts? Ayu/Koda/Utada~

Melrose · #1 9th April 2008, 12:33 PM

Which of those three artists do you think makes the best concers? Ayumi, Koda Kumi or Utada Hikaru? So not which artist you like the most, or what music you prefer, but who does the best concerts. I always thought it was Ayu's, but Koda has a huge freaking setlist and a lot of cool random stuff (like the glass breaking that I wanted Ayu to do ~.~; ), so I think that Koda makes the best tours. Though she's my least favorite artist. Then Ayu, and at the last spot Utada. She's good, but just a screen behind her is kind of meh. I love the floor she's standing on in the UNITE tour 2006, though.

ayu...period

I have all of Koda's DVDs except for the latest which I'm still waiting for OS press to be out . She has great stage presence & the stage props & themes are unique in each DVD . Could tell that she doesn't stick to just 1 stage theme & the setlist in each DVD is not stagnant .

So far the onlyayumi's DVD that I have's her Arena (miss)understood tour . I enjoyed that a lot , the costumes & that red wig that she wore's cool . I'm still waiting for OS press of ATOS to be out though

I have to say Ayu has the best tour on average .. but koda is a freshface at these tours so she will bring in more excitement for sure ...

after all .. ayu has over 10 concerts (at least) .. and kumi has like 5

This just asks for

'What's the point? This is an Ayu forum'

eh ._.

You can look at it objectively like me lol. I love Ayu's concerts more but Koda's are longer and look better so I vote for Koda's. XD

It's also interesting to hear other's arguments why Ayu's better.

prussian blue · #9 9th April 2008, 03:01 PM

hitomi -- LOVE CONCENT tour is great too but ayu's is still the best...
great outfit and stage...
the second will be kuu and namie

Well, not really. Bring on the "Koda sux, Ayu rox LULKTHX" comments~

Eh, I have to pick Koda. She puts on a great show, her costumes are always well designed, great stage layouts, the dance routines are really well put together, I love the Interlude movies throughout, her vocals are always amazing, the setlist rarely recycles itself, and she pays attention to lesser known songs a lot of the time.

Where's the Namie love? If you included her, she would have been my number 2, but oh well...

I think Ayu's concerts blow Kuu and Hikki's out of the water. They just have so much going on, with tons of costume and set changes. Every single Ayu concert is pretty much guaranteed to be great, and can be enjoyed watching the enitre thing at once. Kuu's concerts are fun and entertaining as well, but usually not quite as elaborate. Plus, I don't like her music as much as Ayu's, which obviously contributes to how much I like the concerts themselves. I've only seen Hikki's Live in Budokan concert, but it wasn't very entertaining. The vocals were fine, but there were barely any costume changes, no interesting set pieces. Basically it's just the vocals, and because she doesn't put as much energy into it as artists like Shiina Ringo, Otsuka Ai, or Yaida Hitomi, the vocals-only approach just doesn't work. Hikki's concerts I feel like I need a break every 10 minutes because of how dull they are.

I know what you mean... when I was watching UU2006, I just had to skip through the ballad section. 3 BALLADS grouped together? By Hikki? No thanks..

mishidabo · #14 9th April 2008, 04:17 PM

i dunno, ayu's concerts have been sooo been there done that lately

utada united was sooooo good , it blew me away

and koda's concerts are sooo full of energy and sexy dances <333

but if i have to pick one that would be Hikki

tobehanabi · #15 9th April 2008, 04:55 PM

I would say Ayu's past concerts were the best..only problem I have with her recent ones is that she keeps singing the same songs!! and add a few new songs from her latest album...I wished she would sing songs like To Be...

Koda's concerts are entertaining cuz it's so full of energy and you never know what she's going to sing next...her setlist is always so different...

Overal, I'd say it's a tie between koda and ayu

AyuHamasaki01 · #16 9th April 2008, 05:02 PM

AYU!!!!
I love her concerts. I love Koda's concerts too, but when I compare them with Ayu's they lose all their fame

**Halla** · #17 9th April 2008, 08:51 PM

I think Ayu & Kuu both have equally good concerts. I'd pick Ayu over Koda if Ayu's concerts weren't so repetitive.

but both Ayu & Kuu put on a great show. awesome stages & props, fun costumes and dancing and both sound good live too.

Namie's tours are also nice, but imo they just aren't as good as Ayu's and Kuu's. There just isn't as much attention paid to the stage props or costumes, and the dancing just isn't really all that & neither are her vocals.

I love hitomi's tours too, but they aren't arena so it's more about the music rather than a huge show. but for a smaller tour they are great, but it just does not compare to an arena tour.

Hikki's tours are not that good imo. her live vocals aren't that good eventho she is just mostly focusing on singing. the stage is cool (on UU2006), but there is not much going on other than backrounds changing.
and for a person just singing there she does sweat A LOT, I found it very distracting lol.

**taskinillusion** · #18 9th April 2008, 08:52 PM

Hahah yeah, there's no contest at least on an Ayu board!

But yeah, I'd say Ayu and then Kuu. And that's it! XD In my opinion, Utada's concerts are a yawn-fest. :/

ExodusUK · #19 9th April 2008, 09:05 PM

Ayu. Kuu's would be good if they were non-stop high energy but unfortuanly she insists on singing ballads and well...the less said about Koda's ballads the better.

ladytaboo · #20 9th April 2008, 09:14 PM

All three girls give great performances in their own way. Ayu and Kuu always have cool costumes, props etc. Hikki's aren't as visually pleasing, but her vocals blows them both out of the water. I loved UU06, especially the COLORS performance.

But I voted for Koda because she seems to be the best at being entertaining AND having good vocals.
