i read this forum a lot, but just joined this site so i could post about the concert!! >_< lol

omg...she sounds sooooo good live!! and i love the interaction she had with the crowd. The part where she goes "and lastly...let's give a round of applause...to ME!" so cute! Her outfit was pretty nice as well. I enjoyed the music A LOT, it really surprised me just how much better it sounded live...i really hope they come out with a reordering of some sort for this tour. Sooo happy i got to hear her sing my favorite song, "first love". Kremlin Dusk was amazing?!?!!! I really enjoyed the rock-ish feel she added to some of the songs.

Me and my friends went to wait in line right away after classes and got there at about 4...we go to UIC/DePaul so we're 15 min away woot! I was kinda hoping to get close to the front by just getting there early, but it turned out u had to purchase like $15 worth of stuff to get close which sorta sucked at first but it was sooo worth it!! We ended up in the first row and for some reason by the time the Dj's time ended we shifted from the left of the first row to dead center o.o. My friend and i were just a few feet in front of Utada!! we got separated by our other friends tho, they got 1st row but more to the right... They were able to take some pictures during the concert (one of them was the girl who asked for a hug!!) http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=192941&id=553275309&ref=mf hope the link works :x

They had videos too but they were to close to the speakers so the sound is just horrible >_<

i wish i got one of those KUMA balls!! mad props to that guy ( i think he's from down south in Springfield) who jumped over the fence/rail for that ball...how the heck did he get over and to that ball so fast...

Overall, i had an awesome experience...can't believe i actually saw her live!! and i can't wait for the next tour!
