Last night was the final concert of the Uki Uki Tour
(Inoue Kikuko's concert tour of summer 2000).
The tour started on 6/18 in Yokohama, and there were concerts
in Nagoya (7/1), Osaka (7/2), and Tokyo (7/9).
The Yokohama, Nagoya, and Osaka concerts were basically the same.
The Tokyo one was the "Deluxe" version, and had extras, like a
bigger stage, dancers, chorus, etc.  But the Tokyo concert cost
5800 yen, while the others cost 4500 yen.

They had six video cameras in the Tokyo concert, and they will
release a CD and DVD of this concert.
But Kikuko talked at LOT at the Tokyo concert, kept going off
on tangents, so it was a three hour concert.  I wonder if they
will keep everything, or if it will be heavily edited.

The concert was broken up into three parts.  The first part
was made up of songs from Kikuko's latest CD "Tanoshiikoto".
The second part was made up of Kikuko's wishes (things she
wanted to do at a concert).  The third part was half talk
(about anime/game voices she has done, and those she will do
in upcoming games) and half songs.

I don't remember the songs in the first part..

The second part had three wishes.
The first wish was to sing a medley of anime songs. (^_^;
Kikuko sang "Candy Candy", "Doraemon", "Lum no Love Song",
"Dr. Slump", "Anpan-man", "Cutey Honey".
The second wish was to sing the "Mori no Kuma-san" song with
everyone in the crowd.
The third wish was to sing and dance "17 Sai" wearing the
same outfit as Moritaka Chisato. (^_^!)

In the third part, Kikuko sang "Anata no Tame ni Dekiru Koto".
After that she talked a lot about her past anime/game roles.
Then Kikuko sang a medley of character songs,
"Kaji no Uta" (Tendou Kasumi/Ranma 1/2),
"Let's Go Electra-san" (Electra/Fushigi no Umi no Nadia),
"Fuchuu Shigure" (Saginomiya Sakura/Aozora Shoujotai), and
"Megami no Kimochi" (Belldandy/Aa Megami-sama).
The last song was "Ganbatte Makenaide".

[I have forgotten the other songs..  maybe CuSO4 can fill in some info.]

Comments..

 - Get rid of the tambourines!
   Over 90% of the crowd had tambourines, and it was LOUD during
   most of the songs.  Only for the slow songs did everyone sit
   quiet and listen.  Since the tambourines were so loud, it was
   hard to hear Kikuko sing.
   I don't mind people clapping and yelling.  I want claps and yells
   to fast songs. (^_^;)  But the tambourines are way too loud.

 - At the Tokyo concert, many of Kikuko's seiyuu friends were in
   the crowd.  They were just 4 rows in front of us. (^_^;
   I saw (and recognized) Yamamoto Maria, Hisakawa Aya, Ogata Megumi,
   Takahashi Miki.  There were some more in the "guest" row, but I
   didn't recognize them.

 - I was very sleepy during both the Yokohama and Tokyo concerts. (^_^;
   On 6/18, I had a baseball game and a Heart Chu event before
   Kikuko's concert.  On 7/9, I had a baseball game before the concert.
