For discussion of her lives and the wishes we fans will always have :^^
What songs do you wish were performed? What stunts or theatrics would you want to see? Venues? Arrangements? Let's put it all here.

I guess this one is pointless unless we want to turn this into "my fav songs" topic =) As for the rest... Well maybe in my case half of it it will be what I don't want her to do ^_^' First of all she shouldn't use headset. We already talked about her problems with it, but apart from that it just doesn't fit a singer not to mention it looks way out of place - she's far from cyber goth after all ;D Second I want her to dance less or not dance at all. This one is actually in motion - she dances way less nowadays =) Don't misunderstand though - I like her dancing, actually she dances amazingly well for the little time she spends practicing it (judging by the amount of different things she's doing at the same time it can't be much). But still I like the way she moves when not dancing more. It's so fluent and natural, she looks like just a girl having lots of fun =) While dance is still a dance, it's prepared beforehand and she usually looks tense while dancing. Now to things I want her to do. When I saw her playing piano at BIRTH I was surprised. Not because she could play it but why actually it was only once? Doesn't piano usually go with vocal training? At least at our music schools it does... So if she really didn't have piano training and just learned how to play that one song I can forgive her, but if she actually can play piano and never did it again it's unforgivable! I understand she doesn't have time to master it but all her piano related songs are so easy they didn't go too far from dog waltz ;D Next Arcadia is an exception though. Oh and she should power up her air bazooka at least 3 times! Or 5 times if she's planning to satisfy me ;D Really, when I saw it first time I didn't know whether I should laugh or facepalm so I did both just in case I was sooo waiting for some "come get some" fun

I wouldn't mind seeing more dancing, to be honest. Not necessarily by Nana, but I always felt like TEAM YODA was really underused in most of her concerts. I kind of feel like they need to realize that songs that aren't dance songs can still have choreographies Nana does hold herself well on stage without dancing or whatever though, LIVE GRACE proved that. She's a great performer and has more than enough to offer with her voice and her emotion, but I feel like her concerts could benefit from having more back-up dancer involvement or story-oriented performances. Just to spice things up Though I do realize that adding choreographies/stories/anything to complicate a performance makes it harder for her to change the setlist, or to even have a setlist of her usual length. But I dunno, I don't think I'd mind that much, it always kind of bothered me that so much of her setlists were so easily interchangeable.

Grace? Really? Hmmm... I actually find this very Grace stage performance rather lacking compared to other lives. Looks like so many ppl on stage held her back, she even refused to turn around!
Who cares about anything else but Nana? ;D Oh you care... But anyway I think that everyone should do their job - dancers dance, singers sing and actors act. If they do something in addition it's just distracting and stealing attention from their primal activity. So I don't care what others do on stage they might as well dance striptease I simply don't pay attention and maybe most of others are the same and that's the reason why she doesn't use dancers that much. Those who want to see dancers go to ballet I guess ;D
But back to the topic. While writing previous post I had a feeling I was forgetting smth important and now I remembered it. Yes, singalongs! That's the main thing I really want her to improve. When everyone in the hall is singing it sounds and feels so epic and unifying yet she encourages it way too seldom and I don't recall her doing that at any recent lives =\ She should have at least couple singalongs at any live imo! I understand her desire to sing all the songs but hey, don't be so selfish, Nana ;D

^ The POWER GATE a capella at LIVE GRACE comes to mind, if you count that as a sing along? And what I meant about that was that seemingly nothing was choreographed for her during that concert, she didn't have to really do anything during any of the performances but stand their and sing - and it's not something you give much thought to until you've seen a singer who can't carry themselves on stage, but standing there and singing can actually be really awkward to watch unless you know how to carry yourself, and LG proved that Nana does

Id like more character song performances, if that were to be possible.... (Glass no Hana comes to mind...) Since shes done Tokyo Dome, i really don't care about anywhere else she goes, as id be willing to travel anywhere (given i have the money at the time ) to go see her<3

Sure why not, but apart from it I can recall only Aoi Iro at Formula and Super Generation at Academy... It's too little and too short =\
Hmm for me it was proven long ago since there were no live that I remember where she performed dance for every song. And if she can stand and sing for one song and it's not boring then why can't she do it for the whole concert? Can't say that at Grace her moves were somehow different from usual and if they were not boring before how will they suddenly become so if she won't mix them with dancing? And she's rarely standing even when not dancing ;D

^ I really don't think you get it LIVE GRACE was the first full concert, at least that I've seen, that had zero choreographed performances. Obviously I've seen her perform without dancing before, obviously she can do that, all I was saying was that LG proved it beyond a doubt since there was no single instance in which she had to dance. I doubt there was much direction at all, while rehearsing.

I agree with the piano playing.She really should do that again...I like her to play Hoshizora though it may be a bit hard to practice given the time she has. Probably, Yume no Tsuzuki with her and the piano only. If I'm not wrong, she used to play piano during her school days..how good she is at playing, I don't know. But when she moved to Tokyo, she wasn't able to play anymore I also miss the mawatte corner where she makes the audience turn first before she turns. It was so fun watching the people turn too.^^ As for rides, I want her to ride a pirate ship like Thousand sunny XD

Sooo who needs to prove something that is obvious? Oh, I know the guy Btw I've just recently put my hands on live rainbow and Nana's rarely alone there with all that annoying dancers so you like something like that? Omoi a capella is a :love though.

I'd love more piano performances and more acoustic corners (even though she has them often enough, lol.). I usually end up liking songs from her ACs more than I did when i heard them in studio. They grow on me this way :]
On the note of dancing - I don't really care either way, choreographie is not my thing, but I DO like when the stage looks really full, with band/dancers/everyone out and the energy level rising. So I would like her dancers to be used more in that way. They do feel kind of forgotten sometimes, lol.
Also I know this is little odd but I want more band solos. When Nana changes and they continue playing a song and changing it up, I really love that! Think Nostalgia at LD. I'd want to hear some of those for things like Silent Bible, Himemurasaki, DRAGONIA, etc.

Wait... What? You mean you didn't attend it right? Because I can't believe you never watched any DVDs... What can be more boring during Nana's concerts... They are good for resting though ;D But I always skip them while watching DVDs, sometimes even when I do so for the first time...

Also I know this is little odd but I want more band solos. That's more than just a little odd. The whole point of going to a NANA concert is to see NANA!

The more I think about it, more special effects would be awesome. Like pyrotechnics, different lighting, etc. but I think she'd have to have one hell of a budget to make that happen. Still, I think it would really help enhance the feel of each concert! Also less dancing would be nice... Just because I think Nana's much more fluid when she can move about naturally and isn't restricted to some choreographed routine!
