    Kouhaku and Kokuritsu, what next?



    Tokyo Dome? that's prestigious right? I know it's smaller but I always wondererd why the didn't perform there before.

    This time the setlist was way sorter that the year before. Peach for the stars had 33 song the first day and 32 the second.

    Edit: this is a joke or what? I've topped 4 times now :(

    They've done Kokuritsu, Tokyo Dome doesn't sound that prestigious anymore. Unless if they do Dome Tour, I heard Sapporo Dome is the hardest dome to fill.

    Apparently Kanako addressed this today, but I haven't searched how.

    What they need to do to secure their standing, as a group and especially individually, is become household names. That means more TV, not bigger concerts.

    If Nissan Stadium is the biggest they really can't do bigger concerts. Unless they do it festival like, and just have it in the mountains.

    How is the Opera/theathre thing in Japan? I know here in Europe there's some Opera houses with a lot of history that give the artist a lot of prestige if they perform there. (This might have to do with my dream of them having a full concert with an orchestra)

    I don't like when group members have individual promotions, because I see it as a way of securing their personal future instead of that of the group. I'm fine if they do this with moderation, but I follow some groups that are put on hold because of the members individual activities and that's really boring as a fan.

    Earlier this year, fans were asking for an Onna Matsuri tour and Otoko Matsuri at Tokyo Dome, and kwkm on twitter pretty much discounted the notion that Tokyo Dome is under consideration. Fans think it's because Tokyo Dome charges a higher fee and takes a much bigger cut of merch sales.

    I believe concerts at Kokuritsu have to end earlier than at Seibu Dome, which explains the shorter setlist.

    From those natalie pics I can say I liked yesterday's costumes better.

    This one has the nice touch of having their singles covers on the skirt.

    Welcome to every internet forum ever.

    I don't like when group members have individual promotions, because I see it as a way of securing their personal future instead of that of the group. I'm fine if they do this with moderation, but I follow some groups that are put on hold because of the members individual activities and that's really boring as a fan.


    I'm fine with solos, it helps secure them a post-Momoclo career when they break up many many many years from now. The ones on Momoclo★All Stars 2012, Battle and Romance and 5th Dimension are some of my top favorite songs Momoclo has released (especially Reni's Enka songs).

    unnecessary thing to say, this is a forum not a professional article.

    I don't think individual promos are something to be feared. Just look at Arashi. They really became popular after the member started to appear in dramas. And I think that's the path Kwkm is forseeing to our girls..

    I have no problem either. :D

    What they need to do to secure their standing, as a group and especially individually, is become household names. That means more TV, not bigger concerts.


    I don't pay much attention to their tv appearances, but I'm assuming it's mostly late-night stuff? Personally, I think it's time for them to set their sights on the western world, especially my corner of it. I'm in awe every time I watch one of their concert videos; maybe they should try for some air time on American tv?
