w-inds. Live Tour 2007 "Journey"

After waiting for 10 or more days my DVD finally arrived in front of my door, I was so scared that it might be lost since I never more than 10 days.
So here's another DVD to my w-inds. collection. When I was looking at the DVD, the DVD has printed part of the world map on it. I was so happy to see my country's map Australia printed on the DVDs.

A little review or thoughts about this concert.

The concert was great but I can't say it's the best they can do. There wasn't anything special and most of them were no difference with a live they perform at CDTV or Music Fighter.
I really hope they could more than just dancing and singing, I missed Keita playing the piano and Ryuichi playing the guitar.

The stage was smaller this time, in there other concerts they had a long stage that reach the middle of the audience, but this time they didn't do that so it looked like there was more audience.

Opening
The opening they show footages of their past concert on the VTR.

01. THIS IS OUR SHOW
A world globe appeared in the middle of the upper stage and it opens up and w-inds. were already positioned. The three of them wore a red coat and hat and started singing. I must say they love red so much in every single concert they wore red.
After singing the first song they took off the coat and inside they wore a stripe shirt with a vest which I really like.

02. Boogie Woogie 66
Maybe Keita is so used having a hat on that he couldn't change the how his hand position on the hat. But during Boogie Woogie 66 he took the hat off and I spotted that his hand was position on the hat where he didn't even had a hat on.

03. New Paradise
It's been a while since they last sang New Paradise, nothing different or special about it.

04. Another Days
This is another song which they haven't sang for a long time.

Bridge
05. Top Secret
They changed costume into white jacket with black tank top and Keita wore a white hat again, I it's the one he wore during the Hong Kong performance.
I don't find this surprising because they have performed this song quiet a number of times already.

06. Crazy for You
Same goes for Crazy for You, they have performed a couple of times which is no different.

07. Devil
This is the first time I see them performing Devil live I quiet like this song even though I hardly listen to it.
Somehow during this song Keita reminds me of MJ (I guess it's mostly because of the hat). I find the choreography during the chorus was weird, the movement is small and it's only hand movement.
Dance Corner
The first one to come out was Keita wearing a black top tank which was worn inside his white jacket before. The repeat slow motion really takes in effect for this and I really like it. More than dancing I think Keita was just showing off his muscles, but ever since he got more muscular his dancing has more power to it.

Ryuichi's dance was rather normal probably the most wow thing was his back flip which I've seen many times before.

And Ryohei, not so surprise that he's doing breaking. Seen ryohei doing breaking nth times already so it didn't wow me.

The dance corner was rather short. I was hoping for a group dance with some cool choreography but no that was it.

08. Is that you
I forgot that w-inds. has this song when I first heard it because the last time I was listening to their "Journey" album was ages ago.
There's really nothing special about this performance but there's just a feeling where you can't move your eyes somewhere else.
I liked how Keita appeared wearing a black shinny jacket and hat, and all there is was just a mic stand and spotlight. The move he did with the mic stand was rather cool.
Ryohei and Ryuichi appeared half way through the song but they weren't as cool as Keita with the mic stand.



09. Hanamuke

10. Message
I love this song, this song was one of my favorite in the album. The scene of them sitting on the red sofa was nice and Keita sang really good with a lot of emotions.

11. TRIAL

12. Tooikioku

13. LOVE IS THE GREATEST THING

14. It's in the Stars

15. Try your emotion
This song was sing in most concert, it's a great song to get the audience high as it's a song where most people know the lyric.

ENCORE 1
16. Feel the Fate
I don't really like their shirt for this concert, it's too simple. But during Feel the Fate there's a part where Ryuichi and Ryohei sang solo.
The tension was high as everyone sang along with Keita.

17. Kireida

18. Forever Memories

ENCORE 2
19. Shiki
Not Shiki again. I've heard this song sang live a zillion of times. Although the song is nice but I got bored of the performance.

20. Fire Flower
Fire Flower puts everyone so high and once music is played all the fans got out their towel and started swinging it, it's like a must when they perform this song. This song is not great to listen but it's great for performing live.
They were throwing towels to the audience and funny is Keita was wiping his sweat with it and you don't know how much fangirls wanted that towel.
Keita's voice started to crack and it was really bad but he kept on singing until the very last just hope this won't damage his vocal.
Ryuichi started playing the guitar during the end of the song and right at the end because everyone was so high from a distance I see Ryuichi swinging he guitar towards the floor and it became 2 pieces. So I thought "Was that necessary? What a waste!"
