^ Nope. Nothing.

Probably not, otherwise we'd have gotten an MC / mention from 2ch or mixi...

I expect her to mention it at tomorrow's show if she's going to say anything. I wonder what they'll do and if people will see cameras flying around for the DVD...

My japanese is very basic, but I didn't catch anything related to that no. The conversations were very light and friendly, nothing serious about touring or anything like that.

She didn't talk that much either. Subaru and Zin came out, they joked around and she made them re-start cause they messed up. And then Subaru was talking, she looked surprised and then she ran to the side of the stage to get Pino and Papino. And then they played the game, and after that she re-started singing.


edits @Truehappiness: the cameras were everywhere tonight. There was one going almost directly up top of me the entire time, I saw the black spot going back and forth. There were cameras up front and all over the sides too. I know some of them were for the people at the back to see on the screens, but there A LOT, I'm pretty sure some of them weren't just for the screens...

^ Aah, it definitely seems like they're filming these final two concerts. When I went in June, there were only about 5-7 cameras floating around, but last year when I went (when they were filming the TV version) there were LOTS of cameras floating around everywhere.

@chocopockymaster and Neffiline - you guys must be staying super close to the Yoyogi Gimnasium. I just got half an hour back to the place where I live in Tokyo and you had already revealed what happened at the concert.

Considering that it it my first Ayu concert, I am even now under the influence of the show. The singing was OK, i didn't suspect lipsynching at Energize or in fat at any other song. I really liked how she squeezed her voice for the part of rollin' where the voice should be "electronic".

And speaking of electronic, the whole show had an electro influence, starting with the lasers and continuing with the background movies that looked like a Media Player visualizations. Also very interesting was the disco-munication video where Ayu was just like in Mario haha.

i confirm, there was nothing said about an overseas concert. I got a bit scared at the beginning of the MC when Jin or Subaru asked Ayu if she knows about someone new in her family. I got shocked for a second thinking multiple possibilities like ayu getting married, or ayu having already a child (I know, it sounds stupid now but in that fraction of a second I really thought it could be possible). To be honest, I was kind of disappointed when it came out that the member(s) are two dogs, the ones named above my post.

Any of you guys got one of the balls that Ayu signed and threw in the audience? I was like 40 cm away from the last one, it was kind of frustrating at the moment but now I got over it.

What was good:
-quality of singing,
-interlude movies (they are waaaaaaaay better than the PVs),
-the debut of the show when Rule was sung (just like in the video of the concert that leaked months ago)
-ayu's acting, even if she over-reacted as we all know she does

What was bad:
- the public's reaction (they looked very dull and tired in certain moments ...perhaps it's because it's only wednesday),
-yep, there are indeed too many dancers. I didn't count them nor do I know all of them but sometime at the end of the show they were occupying the whole stage, from left to right
-In the corner, it totally didn't fit into the show
-why so few balls (only four) signed&thrown by ayu ? :((

WHOO! COOL!
there might be a tv version for this tour!

hope for a TV ver! i need to watch this show now :no
all the reviews i read are so good!! i think i'll like this tour better than 07 & 08 ones

This concert is sounding to be really good... I can't wait for its DVD!

I'm dying to watch it already as well with each passing review :(

At least they'll show some extracts, just like they do at each end of tour !

If I remember correctly, this photo was used during a photo slideshow at today's concert. They move pretty fast.

They also showed pictures of Ayu when she was a small baby and to my surprise she looked A LOT like today's Ayu.

I can't wait for the TV version, I'm glad you report that EnergizE wasn't playback, why even say something is playback anyway? It's kinda pointless imo. XD
So I'm glad that you said it didn't seem that way. ^^

I kinda doubt that they'll show it on TV... but we'll probably have to wait for confirmation from Ayu for that sort of thing.

Arena Tours normally don´t have TV-Broadcasts, AT08 was a eception because it was 10th anniversary, and it was no complete broadcast either.

I'm agree with you! Now we have to wait for the DVD!

Ah, right, I've only been a fan since the start of 2008, so I didn't know the norm when it comes to Arena Tours. XD
It's a shame there probably won't be a TV broadcast. :(

So, she had her eyes done VERY young!
:O
xD

Don't forget her nose! Maybe we should sue Mariko Hamasaki on child abuse? :shakehead

Well that's because she never did any eyes surgery :)
Don't listen to what people's rumors (or starting from haters herseys) say :laugh

^ Uh ohz, I smell a plastic surgery debate coming on if we're not careful, lol. :O

What are these Ayu balls you concert-goers speak of?? Like a bouncy ball??? I want one!! :cry
