KODA KUMI LIVE TOUR 2016 - Best Single Collection - [Shipping Within Japan Only]

Kuu's BSC16 is an exciting, fun & emotional roller coaster. Using the main theme of a jukebox she takes us down a road of many of her best singles throughout her career starting it off with the most recent single "Shhh!", where Kuu is anything but silent as she begins by coming down on a large beam-type thing designed to replicate the needle piece of a vinyl record player. She keeps the energy pumping through more songs like "Butterfly", "WON'T BE LONG" and "Crazy 4 U" until the second part of the concert starts, a collection of some of her most timeless ballads. The songs may slow down from here, but the energy doesn't. The visuals are pure beauty like her aerobatic feats on a large ribbon hanging from the ceiling while performing "Moon Crying" and her vocals even manage to surpass what you're watching, giving you the full treat for both the eyes and ears. One standout point being her simplistic yet stunning acoustic performance of "Koishikute". For "Koi no Tsubomi", it's the next treat for a couple lucky fans. An invitation appears on the screen above the stage in both Japanese & English followed by a couple of Kuu's dancers heading out into the crowd to pick the lucky individuals. It's a fun performance & you can see just how overwhelmed these fans are, but who could blame them? I'd be myself if I ever had such fortune smile down upon me. After an introduction of the band & dancers the show gets fierce with songs like "Can We Go Back", "Ningyo Hime" & "Freaky" followed by the fun songs "Lick Me" & "With your smile" which close off the 3rd part of the concert before the 2nd interlude movie plays taking us into the encore. These interlude movies while they do have some Japanese text on the screen at times are pretty much self explanatory. Even if you don't speak Japanese all that well you won't have trouble understanding most of it. The end of the concert ends with a fun singles medley and a personal emotional performance of "walk ~to the future~" followed by a small teaser hinting at her next upcoming single. The Queen of Live truly continues to hold her title delivering with everything she knows how to do so well, great vocals, great dancing, excellent skills, a fun show & even her genuine love thrown in to all her fans, and all those who have touched her life.
