People who were there said it was super hot and humid today so the fact she was able to keep her energy level up so long is amazing.

 

XXX was the highlight for sure :jonny5:The way VROOM sounded so good in the stadium and the audience was bopping along :jonny5:

Truly the Queen of Live! Her 2024 live tour is airing live on September 6th so looking forward to that now even more :duca:

I can't imagine dancing like that in the heat :deadbanana4: Ayumi was drenched by the end too haha. 

Ayumi's set was great too—that emotional performance of HANABI :jonny:

and those two cute gay dancers on either side of her lip syncing every word at the beginning were sending me :deadbanana2:

 

I didn't know D.D.D. was a version of this Soulhead song... They made some points writing this song and objectifying men in the video/on the album cover. Lemme go stream :-*

I heard about BENI performing Here Alone a while back but now it's on YouTube! Here Alone was, is and always will be a bop. :WAP:
This was the track that solidified my love for this jpop diva back when she was with Avex. She should release a COVERS album with all of her Avex tracks.

Still hoping they'll put it and the SWEET BLACK mini on streaming along with the new mini, but it's avex, so... Also, Crazy in Love from the disc 2 either samples or straight up remakes Keri Hilson's Knock You Down, took me a while to realize that.

A QUEEN! Yes, a total bop. Her vocals are so CLEAN. One of the best vocalists in the world, period.

 

I just don't wanna mess with this
Nothing but terrible
I pass the rest
Never threaten me

So I've been enjoying Kenshi's new album, and I finally discovered this CLASSIC from 2022 (I generally ignore singles and just listen to the album when it's ready).

 

Sounds like something off Ayu-mama's Rainbow album, I have to stan. :heart:

 

 

Seiko's album is pretty good, my favorite from her since like... TOKYO BLACK HOLE. She probably could've pulled off a 'traditional' sound for the whole album, but it was basically one song, and we've been through it with JAPONESQUE and MADE IN JAPAN.

 

Kana's has 3 salvageable songs, and there's an attempt at a more mature sound, but the subject matter is the same old. Let's see those chart positions, I guess.

 

her LOVE TRiCKY :clap3: i know she gagged the OGH (obsessed GODna haters) with this one :clap3:

she came for taylor's wig first and now she's after olivia :jonny5:

omg I kept thinking she was saying "stupid wh*re" but she's saying "Am I stupid?" and then immediately switching to Japanese :deadbanana4:

Okay this song is 12/10. The sound is giving avex-era Ami Suzuki and the vocals are giving early Madonna. I have to stan. :heart:

 

Is this queen's discography worth checking out?
