^Now that you mention it...:laugh

Well,no worries for the malfunctions,like Ayumi27 said,the first one it's just like a dress rehersal.So,yay.

Well, if things can go wrong, they will~

Just look at Ladies Night and the mishaps that came with AT06..

This seems like a bit more "happenings" than usual though. I've went to a couple of her first dates either for CDL or the tour and none of them had this many accidents/problems. The best ever though was the second date of the Miss Understood tour when they couldn't get hte alterna ball to lower.

I think it goes like this:

rule/unite: black one with jacket
energize/Audience. cheerleader one
L&H/ID/in the corner: not shown yet
HorP/GREEN/Days: white one... i can't guess when she turns into the mermaid-pink one..
Evolution/Signal: the black this silver corset (maybe signal also gous with the purple..)
rollin/sparkle: she puts the purple jacket and wig
Next level: glittery one


what do you think?

Well ayu may improve costumes by the last day. It happened with past tours. Look at all the differences between the japan leg of the 08 and the latter asia leg. If her fans contact her with complaints, it'll change.

She'll need to change a lot of them....I don't normally complain a lot but this time I'm really disappointed with this year's tour. Like come on...with the colorful tour logo...the costumes are so plain colored...the stage and costumes are totally not impressive. I seriously wonder what was the tour's budget...

Wow it all looks so.. underwhelming. I was hoping for a lot more technology in the stage since it would fit with the whole NEXT LEVEL thing, but it almost looks like they downgraded. Hard to judge from those early pictures though.

The outfits are definitely underwhelming though. I hope it all improves during the tour. Her putting all of the NEXT LEVEL songs in the tour is at least good, she should've done that from the start anyway with her album themed tours.

^ Yeah, its great that she is doing all the songs - I just wish it was for a different album. :)

^Why do you always use a :) when you aren't actually happy haha

^because she's cool like that.

And ew.

EW

Is she on drugs? What's wrong with her? It's like she's losing her mind. Those outfits are ALL horrible.

Maybe this is what happens when certain artists have too much creative control :laugh
That made my day.

Actually the purple outfit with the wig is my favorite, because it's different. Everything else is just B-O-R-I-N-G.

Her performances better be damn amazing for her to stop promotion and everything (supposedly) for this tour.

To show when I am being somewhat sarcastic/joking otherwise half the stuff I say would come off much more harsh than I actually intend it.

Yup That' rite I guess.
Now we only can expect something new for the rock section + in the corner

Anyway ayu should name this tour 'deja vu arena ttour 2009' or something. When I saw the costumes I knew where they came from. I mean, they look nice yes. But it lacks creativiy ayu usually has.

The stage, looks like Namie's Live Style tour 2006 much. really.

And no more props from ayu? Cage, or giant disco ball or whatever???

I guess ayu gave her all out in PCDL that she didn't have time to record her album and manage this tour so well, she rushed recording to NEXT LEVEL album, snd she only have lil amount of time for this arena tour. REally, it looks like another CDL to me

Wow yeaahh!! AT 2009 NEXT LEVEL outfits, more photos!
