LOL I'd like to see him dance for Curtain call. :P

MARO has talked about a-nation on his personal blog and he has posted this pic :

Spoiler:

so nice! :D

too much cleavage, girlie.

on the other hand, that blue is a great color. and TO BE sounds like an odd, random choice amongst those others.

Nice set list! Seems pretty diverse to me!

Those are some iiiinteresting outfits though. The blue "mermaid" one especially... :lech

I like she sang Rule but why they tracklist almost all same with last year tracklist like grateful days, july 1st, ASFXX

Usually at least half the tracklist is recycled from the first a-nation performance and a-nation '03.. haha. HANABI / Greatful / July 1st / Boys&Girls.. etc..

I rather watch Maro dance (he was so awesome in pcdl~) than Shuya...>_>...seriously Maro is better looking and dances better than Shuya...the only thing is his height...if only he was taller like Shuya...then maybe ayu will give him more solos.

thanks for sharing the photos.. i love her encore outfit.. the blue sailor cap look realli good on ayu.. kawaii ^^ the blue mermaid outfit is ok for me.. at least these r new outfits as compared to the next level tour

Still no footage? =[

Quick FYI, but we won't get any footage until the final.

I dunno, with a-nation, you can only really select from a niche group of your songs. Like, look at TRF. They have a big discography, but they only perform a few old singles and Boy meets girl/CRAZY GONNA CRAZY/EZ Do Dance/Survival dAnce/Where to begin a whoooooooooollle lot. If you look at artist's setlists, they usually have songs that have been repeated since their first a-nation appearance. I think they try to cater to everyone in the audience with well-received songs rather than try to be ~cool~ and vary themselves with obscure album tracks [when really, people would just leave during their set haha]~

Well, you're certainly right, other artists do that to, but I don't like that as well. :laugh
Ayu could choose a lot of other songs which would fit perfectly... Fly High, Unite!, evolution, Inspire, Trauma, independent, Hanabi... they're all classics and very popular among her fans and casual listeners. It's ok that there's one song which is repeated every year, just lika a kind of tradition (for TRF Survival Dance for example). But she has almost the same setlist as last year and this is a bit bland.

the setlist is ok...but i wish ayu can sing more tracks from NEXT LEVEL

^ Well there are chances we'll only see 2-3 "recycled" performances anyways, depending on which ones they air and release on a DVD.

Tho i don't really agree on the height thing. I guess ayu only chooses Shu-ya because she's like closer to him. Not because of his height.

I'm glad Maro's getting more solos lately because he's the only good dancer ayu has. He really was amazing in PCDL.

Shu-ya needs to gtfo lol. He's already ruined many ballads with his lame dance routines :weep

To speak a word of fairness, Shu-ya just dances to what he's told to dance. I mean he doesn't choreograph his dances; other people do. If the dance looks lame or whatever (believe me, I roll my eyes at the flailing too), it's not exactly his fault...

omg, the blue two pieces....make her look plumper.

and forgive me to say this, ayu's upper arms look so "strong"...

@naxxo I love you! That was honestly hilarious... I love them both actually, but... :laugh this is made of win.
