KODA KUMI'S Live Tour 2010 ~UNIVERSE~ was all FUN, FUNK, and FABULOUS entertainment! For those of us who missed it live on stage, this is our chance to Step Into Her World in HIGH DEFINITION.
Every segment was tied together with humorous movie clips. I especially enjoyed her Armageddon parody and the scene where she was demanded to step into the space cannon (in English). Overall, Koda Kumi's sense of humor and photogenic "big screen" personality held together a solid 2+ hour concert. The Osaka audience was especially energetic from opening to end.
1st segment: KOOL KODA in her golden trojan armour and dark sunglasses - this woman can literally bring down the house just by standing there!
2nd segmnet: AIR KODA in her pastel tone flight attendant outfit - I would refrain from using the mobile phone on the plane if KODA is in the aisle (laughs)
3rd segment: CLUB KODA in a "jaw-dropping" aqua blue two piece - I cannot stop staring at her hips...I'm sorry. (blush) ECSTASY and Physical Thing equals S*X*Y H*O*T.
4th segment: KODA in LOVE featuring the most touching performance of Futari de... (ふたりで) to date. OK, I did cry a bit...just a little. Alright, I was bawlin'! (sniff-sniff)
5th segment: KODA BURNIN' in a rather violent and self-destructive performance of CAN WE GO BACK!
6th segment: ENCORE, KODA!
The overall Blu-ray quality was very good because I think this tour might have actually been shot with HD cameras. I'm just guessing because the low light images were tolerable and not as degraded as an upscaled image. Again, I truly appreciate the audio upgrade to DTS-HD Master Lossless Audio. There are commentary tracks for the main concert and for the making of segment on Disc 2.
Disc 2 was very funny. Once again, we get a glimpse of Koda Kumi's multiple sides. We journeyed with Koda and her Crew through food ventures, road trip and sightseeing, memory game and punishment, and the many, many days of hard work to bring us unforgettable entertainment.
It is not a Koda Kumi concert without her signature aerial acrobat performance to end another chapter of the KODA KUMI LEGACY...next stop: FANTASIA.
