^ I think they're plastic baseballs. She signs them during the MC and throws them into the crowds, like during independent at PCDL.

@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 ? :((

I'm staying at an hotel in Roppongi/Akasaka. It's like... 4 or 5 metro stations away from Harajuku. Lol Plus I didn't wait in line after the show, I ran accross the street (not supposed to) to get some unofficial goods and the subway station was right next to there.

I agreed with "In The Corner" totally didn't fit into the whole show.

Where were you sitting exactly?

Because where I was, EVERYONE around was jumping and screaming. They were all into the show very much.

The stage looks SO AWESOME! There are colors EVERYWHERE!! I love rainbow and bright lights so I really loved this. For me, it's hard to beat AT2006, but this show was really awesome. Probably cause I've seen it for real, but yeah. Lol

@polkie: I KNOOOOOW!! I never really noticed him until tonight XD Hahaha. I bought some "unofficial" pictures of him .____.;; Hahahaha. Elin and I were the only girls yelling for him in our section, I didn't notice if anyone else was elsewhere in the stadium.
Yes yes! I loved it! Omg I'd go SO often if I lived in Japan, like, literally every month!!

Lets yell for him tonight too!!! :D :D :D I had a dream this night about me and him at the concert. Lol. XD

Yes the show yesterday was really great! I loved also how they had put feather wings on the chair this time too. Looked really pretty. Her voice was stunning!! Really good. The colours was truly wonmderful to watch.

This is now the third Ayu concert for me and tonight it will be my 4th. Lol. The only thing I miss with this tour is something really smashing and great like the end in AT08 like MW and the boat. But I have to say, NL was a really pretty ending. So so pretty! Then again, the whoile concert itself was smashing from end to beginning so... And yes btw, ther ballads jacket and dress are still horrible.... Lol.

Ah I hope tonight is gonna be really great too! Can`t wait!!! See ya soon again Neffi!
(I would love to give a full scale review but my internet still doesnt work and you have tons of reviews already so... ;) )

More reviews could never hurt.

One of the finale would be grrrreat. This is probably the most AHS-filled tour yet, haha.

ia. the more reviews the better. plus, it's nice to read how positive most of these reviews are, it makes me so much more excited.

So the tour... has finally ended, right? Well, I'm waiting for the DVD release ^^. No news nor comments about the last show? O.o

I just got home from the last show.

It was great... again. ^^ outside the stadium the announcement for the new single was going on. that was fun to see since i didnt see the news here before!
I must sａｙ, I LOOOOOVE the interludes videos!!! The one before the bａｌｌａｄｓ are so so soooooo pretty and her dress is much better in the video then the ones she have IRL. :P

Todays show was a bit longer then yesterday. They played for a pretty long time during the encore and ended with a wave-in-the-audience again. The game for today was charades with Ayu and Shuya in one team, Zin and Maro in the seccond and Enrique and Yo-chan in the last one. it was really fun and entertaining to watch!

Ayus voice was great today and she was in a great spirit. She was filled with emotions today. She cried sometimes. I had a pretty good seating today too. Right under the "special seats" with the round stage right to my right. When she throwed out one of the signed balls it was only 30cm from me but it was a real war to get it so I didnt even try. everyone just threw thenself on the cameraman. right, my seat was next to the floor camera so they filmed me alot of times. but i would be really supriced if i got stuck for the dvd or something cuz they never showa gaijins at the dvds. lol.

anyhow, i dont have much time to write since im on a borrowed computer since my internet still doesnt work!!! but i hope i could bring you some fun updates. ^^

thanks a lot!! she is soo cute!! xD

Thanks for the link!!

Pic #10 is from NEXT LEVEL, and I don't remember that feather boa being on top of the chair, so I think that's a new addition to the past few shows.

Aww, seeing these pics and seeing that this is the final show makes me happy and a bit giddy. She had a great tour, and I know (after seeing the show twice in June, and hearing the recent reports) that this is definitely one of her best tours.
