Well... small world.

And seems like she wore a wedding dress + a veil at some point?

So the stage was like this T shape or something?

A wedding dress????
We need some pics!!!

Aderianu 2nd October 2010 03:00 PM

6 ballads in a row

ayumisrael 2nd October 2010 03:19 PM

As I said, I LOVE the tracklist!!

alterna got replaced with Last angel and meaning of Love& Last Links were replaced with crossroad & Sweet Season and RED LINE with SEVEN DAYS WAR.

The replacing songs are great so I really don't mind.

sanzo2011 2nd October 2010 03:26 PM

I love the tracklist except for SEVEN DAY WARS ! hope that she just includes it in this concert ! i'm also wondering if she'll held a concert for 50th single like she did with 30th single ^^!

Kana×Shin 2nd October 2010 03:35 PM

I dislike the traklist, Last angel should be at encore part... wheres alterna?!
@Aderianu, 6 ballads in row...:(

Corvina 2nd October 2010 03:41 PM

The beginning of the setlist is great!
THE introduction, Microphone, Last Angel and About you! :heart
But then 6 ballads, oh my. -_-
The part after that is great again.
Crossroad and SDW for the encore, yay.

Seems I'd be asleep during the middle part when watching. XD

jbrat2219 2nd October 2010 03:42 PM

Memorial address ~ Virgin Road will probably be EPIC... A song about her father and mother right after another? Emotion~~~~~~

Yukitora 2nd October 2010 03:58 PM

^I kinda think Virgin Road might be referring to her father too. "for example his gestures somehow reminded me of that photo" - if it were another lover, she'd probably have met him and wouldn't be referring to a photo.

what's everyone talking about? count down and memorial address aren't ballads!

Well, ayu said she wrote it for her mom like A Song for xx.
It can be for her mom about her mom and dad's story/love though.

yuki_unmei 2nd October 2010 04:34 PM

so glad that Memorial address is still in the setlist!!!

but i'm really disappointed that alterna and BALLAD are gone
BALLAD's performance looked freakin' epic :cry

love in music 2nd October 2010 04:37 PM

yess! Last Angel is in there! and she kept memorial address! omg.. this setlist is almost perfect. i'd call it perfection if she kept in alterna and kicked out About You.

Don't worry, BALLAD is still in the setlist !
I'd also want her to keep alterna as well though...

SURREAL__RAINBOW 2nd October 2010 04:42 PM

i just came back from the concert!

im the guy with the white RnRC shirt and the glasses lol

well... im too tired to say much right now, all i can say is that ayu was flawless, her vocals were pretty good, specially for count down and memorial address (my favorite part of it, even that i loved it all sooooo much), and that it was sooo entertaining... it was just great XD


and the we (L) ayu truck, was meant to be filled up with the fan's messages, which made up those words :)



and lol there was also a protest going on outside of japanese people wanting to fight china or simply just against china apparently, and just before they opened the doors of the arena, some christians came into the place with cartels saying that we were going to go to hell in english and in japanese haha xD

they are not against ayu, they were just random christians LOL

i know! XD i was soo angry... i wanted to go and scare them away HAHA xD i think they were looking for big crowds so they could give their message or something... lol not like any of the awesome japanese fans cared anyway :P

duque 2nd October 2010 05:08 PM

SDW for ending? Hope she adds RED LINE for the final show at the end.
just noticed that there is no blossom~~~hope she sings it along with songs like last links and meaning of love at this years CDL. that way we can have a live from all of her recent songs XD

other than that I LOVE the playlist! cant wait to have all of that in DVD XD

Yukitora 2nd October 2010 05:25 PM

Can I ask which BALLAD dress did she wear?

I'm a christian and I have no idea what they are protesting about xD I don't even think protesting a christian-like thing anyway, Jesus didnt tell the *****s and tax collectors they were going to hell, he hung out with them!

primavera♥ 2nd October 2010 05:30 PM

@Yukitora: there were Christian protests?....yeah...I'm christian too and I don't think they should be protesting. People. Always contradicting themselves *sigh*

Ill read the other pages in this thread eventually. I just know I finally come to see this and I'm very unhappy that alterna got removed since its like my fav ayu song ever (with free & easy) and because I feel it would fit perfectly with the show.
But About You is still there when she performed it at future classics anyway >,>
Other that that....everything seems quite cool. But I really wanted to see alterna live...
I thought nothing was changing...:(

But ill get over it and I can't wait to get more and more info for this. Its so exciting

dreamland2.0 2nd October 2010 05:34 PM

I'm really very sad that alterna got cut. I was looking forward to it the most!
I'll hope that they include it on the DVD like in AT 07 with Jewel and Momentum... ;___;

It's still a nice setlist though...

Picaflor 7/4 2nd October 2010 05:34 PM

I'm annoyed that alterna was replaced because I love that song! but it was replaced by a good song as well. and what does it mean s~e~s and b&d were on a crane? were they performed?

AyumiAi 2nd October 2010 05:36 PM

Love the set list!:)
cant wait to buy the dvd for this concert! XP

ExodusUK 2nd October 2010 05:40 PM

The Christian protesters probably didn't like the Lady Dynamite PV.

Hiii!!

Just got back to my hostel after the concert today!! This is my report of how was it~ sorry if I do lot of typos, I'm so tired and it's 12am here~

_____________________


BEFORE CONCERT

Today was the first day selling the new goods so we wanted to go early and be in the queue~ We arrived at 10 and there was already lot of fans waiting...

While we headed to the end of the line everyone was looking at us... overall, for the whole day, I've never felt so many people looking at me like today XDD

THe glasses sold out fast specialy the ones like Days/GREEN and H... I got the & and CAROLS one =)

At the venue there was a big truck, and there was some lines writting a "WE <3 AYU" but all was white. Fans had to go there and write in little piece of paper a message for Ayu. The staff is placing all of them and creating that sentence =)

Mmm... I did the FC thing, there was a screen and 3 buttons, all covers started appearing randomly and I had to press one of the 3 buttons... then it stoped in one of them... I got "H" =)


We entered the venue at 5,20 and the show started like... 6,10 =)

This is the first time I attend an Ayu concert... I've to say that atthe moment I saw the stage and everything I started crying XDD I couldn't believe I was there...


THE STAGE

I think you got a pic.. but I'll try to explain it...

There's the main stage and the catwalk with the circle stage as always... but! There was that side stage ayu does for CDL, and in the opposide side there was a platform were ayu came a few times but it was mainly used for that elevator/crane, you know what I mean?

Between the side stage, the circle stage and the elevator platform there was a elevated corridor, it was down when we got into the venue and went up when it started creating another catwalk froms ide to side. It's because of that, that they added Arena E block. Block A and B had to be shorter, so to make al blocks with same rows they did a 5th block =)

And lastly, at both sides of the main sage insted of K stand block seats there was stares that headed to a mini stage, at the level of half 1st flor.

If what I said doesn't make sense.. here a little pain draw LOL

http://img84.imageshack.us/f/stageq.jpg/

hahahaha sorry it's so ugly... but well.. you can see what I mean.. the it was just under eahc of the side screens =D

All this was great because she was moving around the arena, and everyone could see her =D even though it was mainly the dancers who used this new spaces most of the time =)


THE CONCERT

- PERFORMERS -

like the main leg, it started with ayu's new 3 performers. I asked my japanese friend and everything was like the main leg. IT was funny =)

- THE introduction -

The red curtain rises and all Ayu dancers appear like soldiers in a gold outfit in line. They went from the main stage to the circle stage where the 360º screen rised to hide Ayu's entrance =p

- Microphone -

Like it was described in the main leg~ great vocals btw =)

- Last Angel-

She took off the skirt of Microphone and it was a short skirt made of the same material. She started in the circle stage and went slowly through the catwalk to the main stage at the end of the song. She did not sing the low key parts of the song. She didn't sing that great in that song like in the whole concert, but it's a really difficult song.. still she did great =D

- About you -

Was waiting for Alterna but not.. bye bye XDD She sang about you with a stand micro =)

- aerial performance-

it was a nice surprise because it wasn't a typical tissue performance, the tissue was in fact a net.

- Rainy day & BALLAD -

Like it was descibred =) She sang so beautifully here T____T She cried with BALLAD in the moment Shuya and midoring killed themselves.

The dress.. yeah.. it's not the one we saw at the first venues.. but I love it... I liek it a lot.... so maybe it's not the same as the last yoyogi...? Her hair wasn't like the first dates, it was stright and not a side bang...

In rainy day, when it started, the screens in the side stage, the 360º creen showd a rain animation, as well as in the top front of the main stage, it was liek a little curtain...

And... I also noticed an amazing use of the 360º screen... in BALLAD there's a sentence "The red sky at sunset today was tender like you", while she sing that line, ayu, shuya, maro and midoring looked at that screen that showed for some second a red sky.. I thoug it was an amazing detail XDD

-MOON-

she wears a dress liek in a-nation but if I remember correctly its white with some pink details. She ws almsot all time in the circle stage, that was elevated and was turing around... then at the end she ran to the main stage where a BIIIIIG white curtain that showed a full moon, ayu was singing the last part lookign at it =)

- TAIKO -

it was wierd how the screens and all the stage lights geve me a feeling oc cabaret, and casino, like if SLT or eveolution came after that instead of countdown... BUt it was amazing~ Subaru was in the main big one, and ZIN and midoring were playing one too but they were hanging like in a swing.

- crossroad and memorial address-

Same dress like in the main leg... without shoes =)

She sang so good here, she was so fierce... amazing amazing..

In countdown, there were 3 dancers, ZIN, chisa and another one... in the main screen it was written sth like: today's turn: ZIN, CHISA, "other dancer". So maybe everyday are 3 different dancers...

in memorial address it wast just her. Her and this amazing song T___T it's the only thing I can say because from the first note till the last one I was crying so... xDDD

- Wedding dance-

In the catwalk that goes side to side of the arena the staff places white clothes and flowers. The music made me think of virgin road, but also of M XDD

- Virgin road -

She came out from the side stage. A staff member had to come because she hadn't the veil on. She started walking from side to side, and we could see that they did a la M in A MUSEUM, with female dancers under her veil. but near the end of the the song whe took it of and went to the main stage. It was really beautiful!! It wasn't a sad performance, it was really sweet <3

(I can't remember exactly.. but I think it was in MOON and virgin road, there were pink petals falling over the catwalk and circle stage ^^)

- Dance before INSPIRE-

just ayu dancers dancing =)

- don't look back-

little incident here XDD the song started and ayu wasn't on the stage.. but we could listen her singing, part of the first chorus... soon she appeared.. without the siver pants... XDD she had everything on, but she was only wearing a black culotte... I don't think it was a change but that they could't change her in time XDD Ayu dancers had a worried expression while she was not there xDD

don't look back was good, but nhad nothing special =)

- inspire-

I loved it!! XD same as in the main leg =) and GREAT VOCALS!

- because of you -

so so so SO amazing!! she sang it almost perfect, it was great great!!! *o*

- cabaret show -

I've to say this was great.. I enjoyed it so much!!! =) good work ^^

- sexy little things & step you -

cutest performance ever hahaha it was cute a sexy at the same time. Ayu was so funny and we could see she was having soo much fun on the stage hahahaha

- jump!-

- lady dynamite-

That was a great one~ It was full of energy from everyone!! In this song she came to the right stairs stage~ it was near me, so this is the closest I saw her today =)

Really so much fun, I don't enjoey this song on CD but ont he concert was a great starter of the "audience section" hahahaha

-until that day-

The dance routine was not the same as in the CDL or AT07, but still she can't sing it perfectly... at the end she was int he circle stage and danced sexy~ hahaha

- SURREAL EVOLUTION SURREAL-

in the first part of surreal she wat to the elevator until evolution started. She sang both great.. I can't say anything but that is a great way to end the main part, we are full of energy at ths point and is like the climax hahahaha

idk if it was said before, but here all dancers appeared in groups wearing different costumes, each group for one of the performance int he main part... it was like the ending of a circus show we

- ENCORE -

in the MC ZIN taught us the dance for sweet season. It's nice... better than the RED LINE one IMO. After that, Idk why thay said sth about TK, and the audience started aking her to sing crossroad... so she sang crossroad chorus a capella, but it was not planned.

Then the b'day "surprise". SUBARU came and when he said SENo we started to sing Hppy b'day to Ayu. Dancers brought a big cake that had ayu figures for each tour outift =), -subaru said SEEEEE-NO again and we shouted "otanjyoubi omedetou" (happy b'day) she blew the candles an toke a pic of the group in the middle of the catwalk. Yo chan was so funny cause he want far back the cat walt and jumped behind some dancer to be taller than everyone in the picture XDD

- humming -

I was so happy to hear it hahaha it's my first ayu concert an dI wanted to experience the "everybody go, everybody jump" XD it was funny, and after one of the "everybody go..... jump!" ayu forgot to sing a little part XD

- boys&girls-

same as always. hahaha but she went to the elevator again =)

- Sweet season-

when the song started I was a bit disapointed... I mean... I'm not a lot into this song, and I felt like RED LINE didn't desevred to be replaced by it XDD And everything was like sweet sweason was indeed the last song.. dancer introductions,the dancde, the arigato's... (I've to say that the ZIN dance gave the song sth special XD)

The light went off and I was like... no.. OMG... it ends with sweet season?? But I noticed they were still in a line, when suddenly, Seven days war started!

- seven days way-

maybe it's not as RED LINE, and maybe some of you will be dissappointed.. but it IS a great ending for the 7 days! She sang it with a fiere look, she was really into it! She cried a little too!

What it was so... powerful and full of emotion was the chorus. Ayu and dancers just stood with a arm up with their hands closed. They looked like an army. And all the audience did the same. For all chorus, the only think we did was to keep our arm up high! I found that really special... idk how to explain it... hahaha

At the end, ayu sang the last sentence of seven days war almost in a acapella, it was soooo beautifull *O*

She ran back the stage and shouted arigatou gozaimashita without micro but while we were shouting and there was still music, and dissapeared XDDD so there wasn't the usual silence moment.. XD

------------------


so that's all.. I don't know if I forgot sth... I've to say that really... she sang almost perfectly.. just Last Angel and until that day were a bit off... but the others were impresive... no words!!!

I wanted ayu to sing crossroad and blosso too... I wonder if there will be changes in the 7 days of concerts =)

Anyway, I'm going to the 5th too =) an't wait to watch it again... best show ever!!! it's not just the show, that is full of details... the screens, lights, stages dancers, props, etc... but Ayu herslef is a show! XD She puts so much emotion into each song and you are like living it completly!

In countdown, there were 3 dancers, ZIN, chisa and another one... in the main screen it was written sth like: today's turn: ZIN, CHISA, "other dancer". So maybe everyday are 3 different dancers...

in memorial address it wast just her. Her and this amazing song T___T it's the only thing I can say because from the first note till the last one I was crying so... xDDD

- Wedding dance-

In the catwalk that goes side to side of the arena the staff places white clothes and flowers. The music made me think of virgin road, but also of M XDD

- Virgin road -

She came out from the side stage. A staff member had to come because she hadn't the veil on. She started walking from side to side, and we could see that they did a la M in A MUSEUM, with female dancers under her veil. but near the end of the the song whe took it of and went to the main stage. It was really beautiful!! It wasn't a sad performance, it was really sweet <3

(I can't remember exactly.. but I think it was in MOON and virgin road, there were pink petals falling over the catwalk and circle stage ^^)

- Dance before INSPIRE-

just ayu dancers dancing =)

- don't look back-

little incident here XDD the song started and ayu wasn't on the stage.. but we could listen her singing, part of the first chorus... soon she appeared.. without the siver pants... XDD she had everything on, but she was only wearing a black culotte... I don't think it was a change but that they could't change her in time XDD Ayu dancers had a worried expression while she was not there xDD

don't look back was good, but nhad nothing special =)

- inspire-

I loved it!! XD same as in the main leg =) and GREAT VOCALS!

- because of you -

so so so SO amazing!! she sang it almost perfect, it was great great!!! *o*

- cabaret show -

I've to say this was great.. I enjoyed it so much!!! =) good work ^^

- sexy little things & step you -

cutest performance ever hahaha it was cute a sexy at the same time. Ayu was so funny and we could see she was having soo much fun on the stage hahahaha

- jump!-

- lady dynamite-

That was a great one~ It was full of energy from everyone!! In this song she came to the right stairs stage~ it was near me, so this is the closest I saw her today =)

Really so much fun, I don't enjoey this song on CD but ont he concert was a great starter of the "audience section" hahahaha

-until that day-

The dance routine was not the same as in the CDL or AT07, but still she can't sing it perfectly... at the end she was int he circle stage and danced sexy~ hahaha

- SURREAL EVOLUTION SURREAL-

in the first part of surreal she wat to the elevator until evolution started. She sang both great.. I can't say anything but that is a great way to end the main part, we are full of energy at ths point and is like the climax hahahaha

idk if it was said before, but here all dancers appeared in groups wearing different costumes, each group for one of the performance int he main part... it was like the ending of a circus show we

- ENCORE -

in the MC ZIN taught us the dance for sweet season. It's nice... better than the RED LINE one IMO. After that, Idk why thay said sth about TK, and the audience started aking her to sing crossroad... so she sang crossroad chorus a capella, but it was not planned.

Then the b'day "surprise". SUBARU came and when he said SENo we started to sing Hppy b'day to Ayu. Dancers brought a big cake that had ayu figures for each tour outift =), -subaru said SEEEEE-NO again and we shouted "otanjyoubi omedetou" (happy b'day) she blew the candles an toke a pic of the group in the middle of the catwalk. Yo chan was so funny cause he want far back the cat walt and jumped behind some dancer to be taller than everyone in the picture XDD

- humming -

I was so happy to hear it hahaha it's my first ayu concert an dI wanted to experience the "everybody go, everybody jump" XD it was funny, and after one of the "everybody go..... jump!" ayu forgot to sing a little part XD

- boys&girls-

same as always. hahaha but she went to the elevator again =)

- Sweet season-

when the song started I was a bit disapointed... I mean... I'm not a lot into this song, and I felt like RED LINE didn't desevred to be replaced by it XDD And everything was like sweet sweason was indeed the last song.. dancer introductions,the dancde, the arigato's... (I've to say that the ZIN dance gave the song sth special XD)

The light went off and I was like... no.. OMG... it ends with sweet season?? But I noticed they were still in a line, when suddenly, Seven days war started!

- seven days way-

maybe it's not as RED LINE, and maybe some of you will be dissappointed.. but it IS a great ending for the 7 days! She sang it with a fiere look, she was really into it! She cried a little too!

What it was so... powerful and full of emotion was the chorus. Ayu and dancers just stood with a arm up with their hands closed. They looked like an army. And all the audience did the same. For all chorus, the only think we did was to keep our arm up high! I found that really special... idk how to explain it... hahaha

At the end, ayu sang the last sentence of seven days war almost in a acapella, it was soooo beautifull *O*

She ran back the stage and shouted arigatou gozaimashita without micro but while we were shouting and there was still music, and dissapeared XDDD so there wasn't the usual silence moment.. XD

------------------


so that's all.. I don't know if I forgot sth... I've to say that really... she sang almost perfectly.. just Last Angel and until that day were a bit off... but the others were impresive... no words!!!

I wanted ayu to sing crossroad and blosso too... I wonder if there will be changes in the 7 days of concerts =)

Anyway, I'm going to the 5th too =) an't wait to watch it again... best show ever!!! it's not just the show, that is full of details... the screens, lights, stages dancers, props, etc... but Ayu herslef is a show! XD She puts so much emotion into each song and you are like living it completly!

Thank you very much Aura!!! Seems like one of her best tours!!

I can't wait for the DVD. XDD

WoWee 2nd October 2010 06:27 PM

Yes, Happy Birthday. I wondered about that. Cool that you guys sung for her.

crea_spain 2nd October 2010 07:14 PM

Thank you very much for the fantastic and detailed review aura-chan ^o^

I'm a bit suprised that there wasn't the usual silence moment to shout "arigatou" to all the audience... anyway, maybe she forgot it xD lol

CAN'T WAIT for the DVD!!!!!!!!!

love in music 2nd October 2010 07:17 PM

thanks aura! sounds like you had a fun time and it sounds like a great concert! i can't wait for the DVD, or even just the the TV version~
Virgin Road, rainy day, and BALLAD sound like they'll be amazing!

Ayumiko 2nd October 2010 07:18 PM

my alterna is gone...:weep

other than that the setlist looks great

LastAngel 2nd October 2010 07:21 PM

Are we even getting a tv version of the concert?

Kana×Shin 2nd October 2010 07:28 PM

thanks alot for long review @aura!
^@xXDiane1xX, maybe on TBS TV...

Neko★munication 2nd October 2010 07:28 PM

Aw, I was really expecting more old songs to make the cut, but she basically just added in the new songs and Humming 7/4 (which I was so glad wasn't there to begin with). I haven't heard any of the L songs yet (waiting for my copy to arrive), but alterna was definitely a performance I was looking forward to the most :no

Either way, still super stoked for this tour :3

MaruyamaAki 2nd October 2010 07:38 PM

Great Hamasaki-sama but this set to should include Ladies Night It's a one of my favorites and it is hardly to be heard. Great setlist though. However I think some songs are to be performed too much. To seem that they are sung at every concert seems unnecessary.


Love you Ayu miss.

Mai82Go 2nd October 2010 08:21 PM

Woah, thanks for sharing these pics aura! :heart Aren't you dead asleep or are you an early, EARLY riser? It's 4 in the morning!

OMG!!! Those Hello Kitty Flowers are so much love. If I'd get them for my birthday I would cry from happiness. Ayu sure is lucky!!!

CeReSu 2nd October 2010 08:21 PM

The wedding dress is really nice.

toniayu 2nd October 2010 08:36 PM

OyTony 2nd October 2010 08:51 PM

Ayu was to slow and no time left for the pants. XD

Or maybe there was a malfunction and they left the pants out :P

Corvina 2nd October 2010 08:58 PM

The pamphlet is gorgeous! :heart
Her female dancers look better in the bunny outfits than Ayu, that white wig doesn't suit her at all.

And why aren't there all outfits in the pamphlet?

love in music 2nd October 2010 09:24 PM

OMG the pamphlet is gorgeous! i hope someone will scan it soon. my favorite is her posing in the Sexy little things outfit, but all of the pics are awesome, especially the pics of the stage and performances. this tour seriously does look like it'll be her best one yet.

in those new pics.. i love how she doesn't have the INSPIRE pants on, she looks a lot better that way :laugh she looks beautiful in the wedding dress. new bow in the encore? i think it looks adorable.

ayumi_ed 2nd October 2010 09:26 PM

the VR outfit is very nice!

I think it looks a lot better without them

SKYia 2nd October 2010 10:07 PM

I hope the pamphlet gonna be on yesasia, cause I want to buy it :)

I was afraid of the change in ballad dress but I even though I hate those kind of sleeves I don't mind the change. She looks absolutely gorgeous in that dress and the MOON dress and Virgin Road, it's gonna be EPIC !

Btw, I tweeted her about Alterna, damn I won't handle it, if she really won't sing it in the finale, come on guys, twitt her too m(-____-)m

Midori-chan 2nd October 2010 10:19 PM

I want a DVD of this tour AND the special live RIGHT NOW!!!
I don't even want to look at the pics anymore, because I can't stand it!! :D

The new tour goodies look amazing too! I hope, YA will sell them, because I RELI want the pamphlet and the necklace with the foxtail and the A on it!! :heart

yuki_unmei 2nd October 2010 10:22 PM

^ only the special live will be on DVD =/
they didn't even record the main leg

oneheart 2nd October 2010 10:33 PM

Honestly, I prefer the don't look back costume without the pants!

truehappiness 2nd October 2010 11:22 PM

Oh my goodness, the pamphlet... AMAZING.

And so much stuff! HAHA.

I have updated the first post, so please check it!

ayumisrael 2nd October 2010 11:23 PM

Thank you Aura!! and everyone for the pics!!

The new INSPIRE outfit is WAY better, ayu looks so hot :heart

~angel*ayumi~ 2nd October 2010 11:24 PM

the pamphlet looks really amazing, I hope YA will get it, I don´t wanna order at mu-mo again, so expensive >< And I don´t need the clearfile.

truehappiness 2nd October 2010 11:34 PM

Oh yeah, people mentioned the Don't look back thing.

They were like "So she messed up during Donruku?" or something...

ayumisrael 2nd October 2010 11:40 PM

From the phamphlet it really looks like ayu took her top of her game a few levels up!
It looks like a marvelleous show emphasizing the word show.

MissElin_ 2nd October 2010 11:59 PM

Thx for the review aura! :heart

But I do hope they will put in alterna and RED LINE in the extra disc or something cuz it's a shame that they had to go. And It do sounds really amazing, but I'm really disapointed in the fact that she killed the ballad dress. It might look okay and nice now, but the one she had in the beginning was STUNNING! And not only the dress but her hair too. I have to say, the hair I have least love for of all of Ayu's hairstyles, it's the blond long one with that heavy bang. No, thats what was most disapointing the crossroad PV too. Too bad that have to get stuck on the DVD. And I do miss the pants on the Dlb outfit. She looks like a duck-but, or wearing a diaper in that kind of puffed-out-buttom-outfit.

But other then that, I'm superexcited! This sounds awesome! I want the DVD really bad.

love in music 3rd October 2010 12:16 AM

i think i actually like the BALLAD dress more now. i don't like the puffy sleeves, but it doesn't make her look like she's 20 lbs more than she is like the older one did. it's a better size for her.

majrakun 3rd October 2010 12:28 AM

She also changed her SLT outfit. Previously it was sequin-y right? The pamphlet looks amaaaaaazing btw. Are these all the pages?

kagami 3rd October 2010 01:06 AM

I can't wait to see this. It looks amazing!
Thank you for the pics of the pamphlet aura!! =)

TeddyGrahams 3rd October 2010 01:12 AM

Thanks for the review/pics Aura!

I cannot wait for the DVD. This concert looks so fricken sick!

freedreamer 3rd October 2010 03:09 AM

WOWWW the concert looks superb! the costumes are all so flattering and beautiful. Sparkly but not at all tacky. She really looks amazing in the wedding dress. if that's the 'new'BALLAD dress, than im taking it. It's so lovely with the puffy sleeves and the whole pattern on it as well. I like her bangs look too.

thanks aura for the review. It definitely sounds amazing already. damn the DVD is probably only gonna come out half-a-year later lol

doesnt she have ashbrown hair? lol..looks the same.

Kazeyomi 3rd October 2010 03:32 AM

Thanks for the review and pics aura!
The concert seems really cool, I like her outfits she looks cute as always :D and omg the pamphlet looks freaking amazing.
I hope someone will scan it asap lol.

jiarongisme 3rd October 2010 03:41 AM

The Don't look back outfit looks so much better without the pants imo!

And thanks for the review! Seems pretty exciting!

waterballoon 3rd October 2010 04:20 AM

eww the BALLAD dress, still dislike it! lol but the wedding dress is amazingly gorgeous omg Ayu :heart

devilayu 3rd October 2010 04:37 AM

I got my friend tix for the Ayu bday (I sadly couldn't go) and he said the concert on Saturday was amazing. Apparently the tix I had hit for were center arena so he had a great view.

The goods list for 7 days is outta control, though. I want to know if anyone bought ALL the glasses.

rakeru 3rd October 2010 05:02 AM

I have nothing negative to say about the outfits. I love them so much and hope all her future outfits are this inspired. I would only say that it's very black-and-white based, but that maybe be entirely intentional.

inspire_rmx 3rd October 2010 05:13 AM

I love all the outfits lots =) the details and minor changes to them as compared to the first leg of the tour makes them prefect. my fav has to be don't look back and Lady Dynamite outfits. can't wait for the DVD

Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~ 3rd October 2010 07:41 AM

thank god they removed RED LINE and replace it with SDW instead... :D :yes

[taskin.ayu] 3rd October 2010 07:49 AM

Wait is it just me or has she removed the mirror hat thing for Don't Look Back? I love that thing. D:

Mirrorcle Monster 3rd October 2010 09:04 AM

OMG she looks PERFECT with the long hair during MOON!!
That concert looks totally AMAZING!!
