Were the treadmils and arms of the stage in place, or they only used the core square shaped central stage?

[CSCfan]

I was also in Tokyo Dome tonight with Celine and all the fans! My seat was on the 15th row from the stage. Before the show started, I thought it's very close. But when the show began, I felt Celine was still far from me... It's because the stage was quite large and square. I can see Celine only when she came to my side. However, the spotlight was very strong and was beaming the light right to my side. I hardly could see Celine when Celine stood in the center. I was forced to see the screen most of the time.

My favorite song of tonight's concert was I'm Alive. It's first time Celine singing it with mix version. The whole concert was so high and really rocked all night. Celine's duet with Yuna Ito in "A World to Believe In" was pretty amazing and surprising, though everyone knew they would sing this song tonight.

The Tour Book was sold for 5000 Yen. It's really expensive to me. Does anyone know how much it cost in other countries?

It's my first time in Tokyo Dome, and it's my first time to be so close to Celine. The concert moved so fast, so I felt the whole show was quite short.

Celine told the audience that how much she loves Japan, the country and its people and language. She sang a part of a Japanese song which she learned before. She said she hopes she could remember the whole song. Celine's last concert in Japan was a decade ago.

I'll see Celine's concert in Tokyo Dome again tomorrow. And I'll see her again in Macau next Saturday.

Celine rocked Tokyo tonight!

Here are two pictures which I took by my mobile phone before and after the show. I didn't take any picture during the show since we're not allowed to do so. However, I still saw people taking pictures during the show.

Stage:


The screen shows "Thank you!" in Japanese with Celine's signature logo.

The show was sold out on the website. But I noticed some seats nearby were empty. I don't know why, and I think it's quite unfair because I paid more than the real price since the tickets were sold out.

She showed up on the stage by being lifted up in the center. Celine could walk on he treadmills and arms of the stage. But I think she was in the center for half of the show. I believe there were more than 65 thousand audience tonight in Tokyo Dome. The whole show was very high!!!

thanks... for all... i dont understand the fact that you are not asllowed to take pics... did they take away yr cameras/cell??

[Cheerfuljane]

5000 Yen ??  That's ridiculous !!  It was half that here in South Africa.

After reading these reviews I'm glad she had a normal straight stage here

Whats the part in the middle that looks like a big wire-sided box with the another box offset on an angle inside it? Do they move up and down?

Oh, on the Meyer pics it seems they do cos they're on the ceiling in those pics:





I wonder if they'll fix the canopy to the ceiling when they can like the last tour (and in these pics), which would get rid of those huge supports in the corners? That would be much better.

That was also screens. Yes, they moved up and down.

Everyone's bags had to be checked before entering the Dome. And they kept telling the audience with signs that taking photos or videos is prohibited. I know they couldn't do anything if I still take photo or video. But I don't want to violate their rule......

How did she leave the stage? Did she disappear down the platform or did she go into the crowd or another way?

[anewdayhascome]

please write down all the songs in correct order which she sang!
she looked amazing!

[Koolan]

Wow, 50,000 fans that stage looks humongous What did she say about Japan? I'd love to hear the duet with Yuna.

Thanks for the review!

[Bellamy]

She looked so good. Keep it.

What do you think about AWTBI? How is the live version?

Hope it's cheaper in China.

I'm glad I would see her at first row on end stage too.

She disappeared the stage down the platform. The she went quickly through the audience (unfortunately not my side) to the exit. It took less than 1 min. My friend saw her waving her hands in the car. I still got stuck in the Dome.......

The song list is almost the same as the one in the wikipedia, except there's no "Think Twice" and "Can't Flight the Feeling" was replaced by Celine and Yuna Ito's duet "A World to Believe in". I couldn't remember the exact order, but I think it's more or less the same.

[Marchino]

Thank you Thomas!!!   She is so A M A Z I N G !!!!  

[Shamrock_1982]

im a bit worried....
so with this ''in the round'' stage, can fans on the ground seats surrounding the stage (first 6 rows)  see the introduction video ok  on the screens before celine appears onstage or??

[Thomas]

Well looking at the height of the stage, from my third row I doubt I would be able to see the screens at all. Vshchen, do they have TV's on the ground like the last tour for those people who can't see the big ones?

[Shamrock_1982]

after paying those prices, if they don't have screens on the ground, and fans in those rows can't see the videos or watch the show if celines out of view, its a joke!!

This depends on the venue I reckon....if it's a gig in a stadium the supports are there, if it's in an arena, the chance there will be supports are smaller....

[CSCfan]

Oh my god....it sounds AMAZING live!!

[Bellamy]

Amazing. AWTBI is 100% live.

I thought we won't see any video from Japan concert, now we can watch the song she won't sing anywhere else.

[bruno_oliveira]

thank you!!

[anewdayhascome]

thanks! i'd really love to know the exact list... especially when WTBI is played
