PoshLife 16,841 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) You can watch Utada's new tour (minus the first minute for some reason) at these two links: Part 1: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm34540118 Part 2: https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm34540407 I just watched the first half. Great concert so far! Her Vegas Residency: Jazz Concert tbh She's higher energy than I expected, though that's not saying much. Her vocals were also better than I expected. Nice use of the string section throughout. It's pretty much just her standing there and walking around, and it's a BIG stage. She made better use of it during Utada United 2006. Also I love how there's like 100 feet between the stage and the first row of the audience The filmography (or whatever it's called) is kinda problematic for me - it's like 90% closeups and 10% wide/crowd shots. There's very little mid-range shots, which is kinda frustrating when there's a dancer onstage and it's like, I'd like to actually see her full body movements and not just like her torso and half her face. Setlist so far: Spoiler Anata Michi Traveling Colors -Talk Break- Prisoner of Love Kiss & Cry (WOW! wasn't expecting that. Had the "Hit it off like this" backing vocals from Can You Keep a Secret) Sakura Drops (nnnnnn she has a "Dance in the Dark at the Brit Awards" moment with the keyboard but it manages to be even weirder) -Talk Break- Hikari (honestly she should stop performing it this way, it'll never be as good as UU06 and it's kinda weird in the middle of the concert) Tomodachi (with a dancer) Too Proud (the dancer again... but omfg Utada does a Japanese rap section that's actually almost fire) -20-minute video: It's an interview and then at some point it turns into a sketch comedy?- Chikai That really really slow song from Phantome Hanataba wo Kimi Ni Forevermore -Talk Break - First Love (fog machine!) Hatsukoi (holy SH*T there is the longest dramatic pause I've ever seen in a live performance before, I thought the video paused) -Talk Break- Play a Love Song (FINALLYYYY. Homosexual technicolor bop confirmed) Ore no Kanojo (the true Jazz Residency experience) -Introducing the band- Automatic -Talk Break for like 15 minutes- Goodbye Happiness The first half was way better than the second IMO. It kinda started feeling like it was more a Phantome concert than a Hatsukoi concert. She didn't do anything from the back half of Hatsukoi, but she found time for Ore no Kanojo? Also towards the end it was like, one song, talk for 10 minutes, two songs, talk for 15 minutes... like jesus girl what do you think we're here for Still a good show though.

I think I have enough time to save money depends on the artist, but usually SM concerts are reasonably priced (long setlist, set pieces, visuals, fireworks, good stage layout). Most expensive EXO tickets go for around $240 and the cheapest ones are from $70-$100. NCT's concert prices will definitely be cheaper than that.

I looked up for RV prices and they are just the same. Thank u. Now I have an idea of how much money I need Idk if I would attend but I hope for the best, I want to see them live ugh The night sky tells all Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YCHofficial 5,293 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 CLC has delivered, but sme parts were rlly dragged out for no reason. The song could have used a 3rd chorus Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martijn 1,042 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I think CLC just dropped my fav title track of theirs, which I thought wasn't possible w how much I love Black Dress and Hobgoblin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopReaper 2,122 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I really love No's chorus but I didn't care too much about the rest tbh It's the weakest song in the mini album, the rest of the b-sides are all 10/10 30 minutes ago, Taylor said: Is X X the yyxy repack or something? They better start releasing the actual teasers and album info tomorrow, all this waiting is so tiring I think it might be a yyxy-heavy comeback to compensate for the lack of a repackage. I'd love if they gave the unit a single before the comeback too, kinda like what they did with favorite, it's not gonna happen tho Fun Fact: The K in KPop stands for "Kate Bush" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
