She looks SO adorable in the cheerleader outfit. SOOO adorable :laugh

The costumes are nothing to scream about though. She just looks really cute in every one of them =)

Ayumi27 12th April 2009 12:23 AM

She had already wore similar costumes in PCDL, a mermaid dress again, and the purple one too... But I like the (cheerleader?) costume this time!

And there are two completely different black tracksuits, one with corset, underneath the PCDL-like purple costume, and another one with jacket

^^ Her eyes in the purple outfit look like she is going to kill someone. :)

Is it just me or is her hair de-evolving? It's like, concert tour 2000 all over again in the encore.

I actually think it looks cute there. :) But it is something that is more "old Ayu" I think.

But man, these costumes. They aren't bad (I like most of them, but I also liked most of PCDL too...) and I know she has recycled costumes before...ALL of these though have been on previous tours or CDLs. Many of them just at the PCDL. Just shows once again that imo not enough time/effort went into anything post PCDL. I just can't help getting the impression since then that more often than not she has just taken whatever was the quickest/easiest way. It's hard to blame her for that though. But still, it doesn't mean I have to like it either. :)

I haven't come across any report from someone that was there that seemed like they were really blown away or anything yet - I'm still looking.

GAH LOVE IT! That wig fits in perfectly with the 80's/70's styles of some of the songs on next Level and the overall funky look of the jacket/booklet photos.

It wouldve been cool to see atleast one of those cool latex things she wore for Rule/Sparkle PV's but atleast we know now that the whole concert isnt full of just those haha

jkm444 12th April 2009 12:39 AM

So the only outfit that is new is the cheerleader one... so far, I think that I am going to only download this concert when it comes out on tv or DVD.

black and silver corset one = Surreal/ Mirrorcle World on CDTV
black and purple jacket = PCDL
mermaid dress= PCDL and other concerts..
silver hat one= CDL 07-08
black latex one = Rule pv

truehappiness 12th April 2009 12:40 AM

I don't think I mentioned it.. it was Huaka, I believe.

How strange. Today's will probably fix w/e went wrong.

SunshineSlayer 12th April 2009 12:40 AM

Some more info:

There was apparently several problems in the concert; some comments about the concert not being ready or something along those lines.

Apparently the big white dress got caught on something while she was walking.

There was some kind of problem with Rule as truehappiness mentioned.

There was no sound for part of Rollin'.

Some kind of problem with the lights and sound synchronization.

Some comments about the costumes being the same. One person saying they are pretty, but there was no excitement felt because they kept feeling more like "how many times have I seen this?" etc etc.

Lee_410 12th April 2009 12:40 AM

Can it be prediction time now?

The silver corset outfit is for evolution,because of the photos she's making evolution poses such as grabbing mic towards audience,etc;
The trapezoid wig outfit is probably for Sparkle,because of the glasses and the robot movements;
The glittery suit outfit is for In The Corner,becuase of the chairs;
HAHAHA WE ALL KNOW WHERE THE HEDIOUS PINK DRESS WILL GO;
Cheerleader goes to EnergizE,becuase of the song's theme?Probably.

Amirite or amirite?

Aisha_Angel 12th April 2009 12:44 AM

A little disappointing. They all look like rehashes of PCDL & CDL 07-08's outfits. But at least we know there will be a lot of dancing this time around. Hopefully, Ayu doesn't wear herself out.

And is it just me or does Ayu look like Madonna with the short/straight bob-wig?

love in music 12th April 2009 12:44 AM

omg i love that cheerleader outfit LOL
all of the outfits look good but that wig lol..
god she is in such good shape

aloopy 12th April 2009 12:44 AM

this tour looks so cheap compared to her other tours. it's like PCDL all over again. and no special effects?

the wig is a big no no for me (much better than last year wigs but she looks better without) but i love that outfit with it. the pink glitter jacket. it was my fav outfit from PCDL too.

the silver outfit with the hat... RAINBOW/glitter @ CDL 07-08 anyone?

That big dress.. looks like POWDER SNOW @ PCDL.. and the other dress too only this time it's pink.


But i'm kind of glad she does a simple tour this year. i find myself to enjoy those more. like stadium tour 2002.

i don't mind the recycled outfits but i'm still kind of upset she did In The Corner and HorP. i hope she changes them to other songs during other shows.

but overall it looks reat :D

So much for taking things to the NEXT LEVEL :shakehead

Kikaru 12th April 2009 12:49 AM

The cheerleader outfit reminds me of Santa Claus for some reason. I think it's the colors.

The outfits are fairly recycled (it doesn't necessarily look like it's the whole outfit, but that they mixed and matched different parts, which is not surprising), but I have no problems with that.

Except for that weird wig thing. Can't they pick something that's flattering to her face?

i know right XDD

Ayumi27 12th April 2009 12:53 AM

About technical problems and unfinished or bad costumes... it happens all the time, I mean, the show will be getting better with time, first one it's just like a dress rehersal, that's why they always record the final one from Tokyo

Ayumiko 12th April 2009 12:53 AM

the red cheerleader outfit looks more like a santa outfit. I'm not impressed with the costumes other than the cheerleader oufit. Well atleast the mermaid style dress looks better than the AT08 one.

GRACE 12th April 2009 12:57 AM

The cheer leader outfit, did she steal that from Kuu's diet cola commercial XD?
