I know I bring this topic up once again, but... I really hate the Rule outfit!
It's supposed to be tight and sexy, but it looks to big for her and Ayu is somehow lost in it. -_- And why a 2 piece? I also don't like how her boobs look in it, so fake.
She surely hasn't the body to fill it.

It's so random, but I have to state it now. XD

Those official photos are amazing! :heart I can't wait to see this concert even more now.

The pictures from the final live actually made me excited for this concert. Can't wait!!!

this looks so much better, thank you ;D

btw, I'm still surprised at her vocals in Sparkle :shakehead

lol for the news footage at the end of the video, they just have this huge picture of Ayu in her Rule outfit and it looks like her boobs are about to pop out :roflmao

LOL I found that funny too. Not a flattering photo at all. XD

wow! Sparkle sounds awesome!:lech

ayu's vocals in Sparkle <3

Ok.... am I the only person that isn't impressed by the Sparkle vocals because they don't sound totally live? :) It definitely sounds (and looks) like at least a strong backing track to me. The quality of the vocals and the sound itself is totally different in that clip than it is in any other clip that they aired. I'm sorry, but that's just the way that I see it. :runs and hides.

Other than that, I'd say that everything else that they showed was definitely live except for maybe that part of evolution for the woah yeahs, but she's been doing it that way for a long time now. Hopefully I end up being pleasantly surprised by the tour when it airs in November.

i don't think Sparkle sounds live either. in the live rip that's posted in the first post i didn't think it sounded live there either (except for her really deep no no no's at the end of the song). i really don't mind if she's lip synching though, it's just smth i noticed

^ Ok good! I'm glad I'm at least not the only one. There were some live reports where people mentioned that they thought she was lip synching other songs besides Energize but it seems that Energize was the only one that was nearly universally obvious to people. But, there were mentionings occasionally of Sparkle, Rollin', and identity and judging by that clip, I would say Sparkle is at least partially that way.

Yeah maybe if it isn't live it might be a backing track at least until the last chorus.
She might sing the whole last chorus live with he whole "With me! NO NO NO!" at the end part. xD

I agree with everything you said. XP

I think it sounds like there may be a backtrack too. :\ Whatever. I don't really mind, as long as it's not complete lip syncing. >_<'

When I watched her live, it sounded/felt live to me. Heh. I don't remember backing tracks that much. LoL. This is just a random sidenote but I think everyone's favorite song/performance that people were really active in was Signal. They really like that song. Haha.

To me, Sparkle sounded live for both shows I went. But I was so damn excited, screaming and singing I could have just been caught in the moment too much and not notice... Lol

@Huaka: Yes, SIGNAL was soooo much fun! Even my mother who doesn't listen to Ayu (and still attended the second concert with me) said she liked SIGNAL the best.

ikr. :D Well I don't think she's lip-syncing per se, but a strong backing track instead... yeah that's what I've noticed.

And you don't have to hide. We are nice and rationale people. :P

Sounds pretty live to me. Thank goodness they don't have people talking all over most of the songs for that one, ugh.

Though considering that you do hear a LITTLE bit of a backing track, I think that's just the back-up vocal like in the Sparkle instrumental. Pretty much all of the chorus is "backed-up" there anyway. I guess it's like that vocal that popped up in MY ALL when she wasn't singing due to tears in the last chorus?

Amazing.

No we're not :laugh LOL j/k

You guys a lip-sync hunting fiends because I swear I never notice these things hahaha.

Sounds live to me, too. :P
