So Utada's got a (of course gorgeous) new profile pic uploaded today or fairly recently; It looks like Japanese cinematographer and director Tamotsu Fujii took it (if you read the name in the bottom-right hand corner). I was wondering when and what the pic was going to be used for (hopefully in SCV2's booklet/3-fold along with the other of her at Shibuya earlier this year)!

BTW, what do you guys think or propose will be the set/performance list for her WILD LIFE concerts (feel free to add covers, but since this is her pre-sabbatical performance, try to include as many of her own songs as possible)???

*UPDATE ALERT!*:
Checked out the U.Blog twitter page and sure enough there's that very pic definitely by the great Tamotsu Fujii...they're really awesome, and if they won't be included in SCV2 in anyway, I hope they'll make a pitch-perfect future concert promo poster/photobook/Music DVD pamphlet of them! Japan's such a naturally gorgeous country anyways, but the landscape in the background reminds of the ethereal, brooding moods and dreaminess of ULTRA BLUE and many of her other recent discography ("Teiku 5" and "BLUE" keep re-playing in my head for some reason )...

Indeed, very gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! They're both so great.. I've taken photography in college so i know good composition and man, really nice stuff.

Yep, I concur with Josh. But she's changed her style yet again..lol. Still pretty though nonetheless. The background is just clever too.

As far as the "WILD LIFE" Setlist is concerned, I was thinking as far a 'warm' show with a creative costume/backdrop and little effects might go...

PART 2: Infant Nostalgia

-TOKYO NIGHTS
-Rainbow-Colored Bus

-COLORS
-Traveling/Dirty Desire (Mash-Up)
-Dareka no Negai ga Kanau Koro (When Someone's Wish Comes True)

-Kiss & Cry
-Shiawase Ni Narou (Final Interlude)
PART 5: Fate & Future
-Simple & Clean (Planit-B Mix)/HIKARI (Mash-Up)
-Sanctuary (Closing Version)/Passion~After The Battle~ (Mash-Up)
-Be My Last
-EXODUS/Crossover (Mash-Up)
-Hymne of Love (Love Anthem)/Me Muero (Mash-Up)
-Hotel Lobby/This One (Crying Like A Child)
-FIRST LOVE (FINALE)

I know it'd never happen but like I've said, I love to dream!...

That would be an epic concert if performed with that list. But I'd love to hear Passion or Hikari as a finale..It was her money song yes, but I just feel weird about that being the one closing out a concert. But then again, this isn't the real set list.

She never sang Sanctuary and Simple and Clean(except for 20dai wa ike ike) live right?

I agree with Kayo-kun. First Love isn't fit to be the Finale. IMHO, it suits better at the middle or mid-beginning just like the Budokan concert.

Quote:
Both Sanctuary and Simple and Clean were performed live at the In The Flesh tour... which is why I'm so eagerly awaiting the tour footage.

Quote:

I see. I'm still a bit outdated about In the Flesh. Lol. Anyway, that'd be awesome if she sings Sanctuary and Simple and Clean in Japan ^^

omg bluesfighter09 your setlist sounds amazing i only dream that utada would do that cause it sounds totally awsome and legit and would probably be one of her best concerts XD

It would be epic, but does Hikki even have the stamina to do such a setlist?
