^ LOL. me too... Oh my gosh.:mconfused

(hope he doesn't get offended! xD)

Yeah we (I?) have been too direct lol... but omg I can't help but to say such things!

^ Haha that was my favorite part of the review too!!! XD

Oh wow, y'all a bunch of pervs LOL.

But I guess if it's because of Maxker, I can't blame you :lech

Actually, Maxker looks like my crush... well just a little. *blush* omg this is embarrasssing

^ Lol. He doesn't look like anyone I know. But I'd like to get to know him ;) :lech

^ Lol doesn't that makes you one of them? XD

All I'm saying is that getting your ass smack by random drunk people after an ayu concert is like a dream!!! <3 OMG I WANT TO GO TO JAPAN just for this. xD I get my ass smacked all the time, but its not as funny as how he describes it.

Anyways, from most reviews so far, the Next Level tour is pretty much awesome? :D i'm so glad. WTB DVD PLZ

Maxker should like, get his own thread or something, because I suddenly forgot why I went it here after reading all your posts. XD

Anyhow, the information is really interesting :D If Ayu were to really venture out of Asia, I'd like to see how she's gonna work it out!

Hello!
I don't know if it is already posted here, but I found one more video (outside the stadium) from the Yoyogi concert:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tb5YQetZNT4

OMG maxker, I am totally jealous xD T_T you sure had fun!~ your friend is hot too ^_^ And yeah xD I'd kinda do the same the drunk girl did, though I don't drink lol

Yeah Maxker is Totally cute. ^_^

I'm sure it would be funny to meet a drunk japanese girl :laugh

Your signature is brilliant!! Who invented that? XDDD

I did, because I'm brilliant :) LOL j/k. Thanks babe ;)

LOL OMG, I'm in this video!
At 00:38 you can see my friend in the orange dress, and I'm stood next to her wearing a hat and white trousers.
My friend Chris is the tall white person with the black bag haha

^ That's so cool!

some of you clearly haven't had some...



I loved the energy outside the stadium, except some stupid girl made me drop my ayupan >>

I just wanted to say that I'm dying for this concert to be released on DVD! :laugh

I imagine that the next tour dates will probably have Sunrise performed..

So.. someone posted some live rips on YouTube of rollin', Sparkle, EnergizE, Load of the SHUGYO, Curtain call, identity, LOVE 'n' HATE.. and others.. BUT they used Maxker's photos as the background, WTF?

thanks for the audio! the only one i think sounds really bad is rollin'
Sparkle sounds great and i loved Curtain call & For my dear... and LOVE 'n' HATE! :heart
EnergizE was total chipmunk vocals like people said, LOL

^SUGOI !

rollin' is amazin live *_______________*

she sounds real nice...just that sometimes the music is louder than her voice ^^

in rollin' and Sparkle her voice is almost gone LOL

Thx for the videos, I'm going to listen to the songs now.

I kinda like her vocals except for the vocals in rollin' xD frankly rollin' sounded quite bad.. (and she didn't sing my favourite part of the chorus! LOL)

thanks for posting ^^

she sounds great, the NOT so great one was rollin' but everything else she sounds great imo. i wish there was a rule clip but id rather wait for the dvd release for that ^-*
i forgot to say: THANKS FOR SHARING, and also to the person who uploaded the clips

I've gotta go to college in just under an hour! So I think I'll watch later~!

EnergizE is play-back and WTF @ the random shouts from Peco and Princess, they're so weird. O___o It's like WHOOO WHEEEE YEEEEEE LOL.

^ no it isn't, but yeah those shouts were weird

Wow her vocals are so good ! Better than last year's ones !Can't wait for the DVD !

rollin' - O.O that digitalized voice part is so bad..lol. the Chorus is not bad though...she sonds powerful..her low parts are so weird HAHAHHA
Sparkle - I like how rollin' leads into this..its so smooth!!! The music + her voice are sooo gddddd!!!! Sparkle with a rock edge hahaha
LOVE 'n' HATE - HOTTTT...zerooooohhh Whoaaa..very nice
identity - this sounds good too hahah...strong
EnergizE - cute!! hahaha...it sounds very good surprisingly...i tot she would go over the top..haha

The NO NO NO part at the end of Sparkle is orgasmic. xD

I am dying waiting for the DVD!!

ARRGHGH!!!

Wow, rollin' was the first time I EVER stopped listening to an ayu live halfway through becuause it sounds just too bad o.0 But the others all sound quite good^^ looking forward to this^^

Oh great to see some videos. I think Sparkle sounds really good! And it sounds fun to attend to! ^^
Lol @ that they use Maxkerspics.

Are u kidding?
I have to be honest this time, if there was a Japan Idol audition, she wouldnt able to pass even the opening show with that live vocal on rolling'!
=(( I love rollin' on the alb so much, she just kill it! She sounds there somehow like JPopYuna
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t8L2Qu-Sts

She sounded good at the chorus of rollin' though
At the other parts though it wasn't good at all.
I suppose the vocoding is partly to blame.

The videos are perfect in every way with Maxker's photos and awesome Ayu performance. Good job Ayu! :thumbsup

I thought Curtain call was kinda overdone on some parts... and the "iiiii" parts sounded kind of painful, but overall I thought it was gorgeous. For My Dear... lol I skipped that.

rollin' was horrible during the vocoders... she sounded so weird I can't explain it properly lol. The chorus was good, but her low notes sounded... funny as well. And Sparkle was HOT. I LOVE how rollin' led to Sparkle omg :heart and she sounded great ... sexy in the verses! Her last no no nos were so sexy omg...

LOVE 'n' HATE was wow... really wow. I thought she sounded hot enough counting down on the studio version but it sounded even hotter live!

identity was okay. I felt she should have used a backing track for her "whoa whoa"s in the chorus...'

EnergizE was like lol... cutie voice huh. It wasn't too bad, but yeah Peco x Princess... wtf were they doing with their random screeching towards the end?!

lies! even at her worst she'd never sound as bad as her. rollin' did sound bad though, but she sounded so great in the others it doesn't really matter to me.. i can't stop listening to Curtain call/FMD

Ayu generally doesn't do well with songs like rollin'/Ladies Night, but that's understandable.

Wow, Sparkle sounds so good live. Sounds like it'd be a lot of fun. Rollin', however...wtf is going on at the start?!

mi|kshake~

Well, she for sure sounds like an anime robot in the begining xD

I like the way rollin' lead into Sparkle, (I might listen to it in that order from now on lol) but rollin' didn't really sound good until the chorus! I wonder why she sings it like that?! She'd be better off singing it straight out and not with that annoying voice.

Well, at the concert, she performs "rollin'" in a really funny way; she dances goofily around the stage and makes faces during the first verse... during the second verse, she just kinda stands there like a robot. Her eyes get REALLY BIG during that part lol

Maybe it's just me, but I really did enjoy her performance of "rollin'". It was weird, but her faces, her dancing, and the new dance moves for "rollin'" just made it a million times better.

^

Personally, I enjoyed rollin' from the NL songs the most when I saw her at the Yokohama arena :yes

Oh god... The videos were removed from youtube T_T

Avex doesn't like their stuff on Youtube... and Ayu's name and such were in the title, so of course they were going to take it down.

^Yeah... They always remove Ayu's materal (except fansubed PV's). Anyone ripped the audios from the vids in youtube?

awww i didnt get to listen to any of them XDD

i downloaded them, ill rip the audio out tomorrow if nobody did it by then

^yeah please -____-

Ohh! Thank you, you are so kind :D

Ayumi is using a lot her new shouty-nasally voice and i'm starting to get anoyed, why cant she sing properly like she used to do :(, I hope she fix that problem at the end of the tour leg and I understand that she need to lypsynch some upbeat songs, but I hope she doesnt do that in her ballads like in the PCD.

wich one was lip-synched? she went off-key in the songs recorded @_@'

It's probably later on when she's tired..

People talk like she's never done this before, haha.

Heres the mp3 files
http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=b...4e75f6e8ebb871

I wasnt able to convert the audio out of one of the files, so i just put the .flv, its rollin + sparkle, but the other 3 parts are in .mp3

the files are 112kbits audio, its the same quality the files had on youtube, just without video^^(except the .flv file of course)

Use SUPER converter, it can convert anything.. ever.. yeah.. haha.

Now uploading rollin' - Sparkle.

http://www.mediafire.com/?nkj2jyctidy

NO NO NO

i tried SUPEr lol, but it didnt work, someway super doesnt work for .flvs anymore for me it seems, a few months ago it worked with .flvs, but now i always need to download the .mp4s to convert, but forgot about that when downloading the AT09 vids, so thanks for uploading what i wasnt able to do^^

You did? Did you upgrade?

It worked for me, so hm..

RAR of all four audio files:
http://www.mediafire.com/?lgjznmnmg3j

Thank you so much guys, I was so disappointed they remove it from Youtube !

who thank you ill DL when i get home YAY will listen later. thank for uploading it for us

No, I never update a working program xD I thought youtube changed something with the codec of the .flv they use or something.

Oh, SUPER is a program you NEED to update, haha. Just to let you know.

Everything's now in the first post.

PLEASE let me know if there is anything missing.

^ I HATe updating, well, I'll do it tomorrow then xD

For my dear doesn't sound bad!!! I am surprised~~~ I am looking forward to the DVD~~~
I am so impressed with her voice~~ I was expected a bit worse..
But these are really great!! especially EnergizE and Audience!!!

Thanks for the rips guys!!

All the lives sound really good!!
Sparkle sounds especially amazing!!

yeah i agree. i'm very proud of her. her vocals have majorly improved in the last year. it's awesome.

thanks for the .rar of the songs, truehappiness :)

I think this year, and with NEXT LEVEL, as well, she's been singing songs that fit her voice better, and that's why she sounds better this year than she did last year. imo She can sing pop and ballad songs better than she can sing rock songs, and that's mostly what she's been doing this year.

I love all the pictures!

Reading your posts, I was expecting an awful performance of rollin', but qhen I listened to it, it didn't sound that bad for me o_o. I mean, it's not a good performance neither, but not that horrible like you said XD.

And sparkle is..... :luv2

She's singing AUDIENCE now? When did that happen? XD
I really want her to sing Sunrise. :(

Since the beginning?

EnergizE -> AUDIENCE has always been in the beginning, haha.

thanks truehappiness! RAR <3

Ohh...right. XD
I love AUDIENCE..I'm not quite sure why I didn't notice it. Thanks! :thud

has the tour ended this year................

Adding RPGames' review to the first page and updating the setlist.

Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ has been added after For My Dear...

But is sure that she's going to sing Sunrise?

According to someone who saw her yesterday, yes.

She sang Sunrise. But everyone was sitting because they didn't know it was coming, I guess.

Well, according to RPGame's review, she did sing Sunrise, and he/she was at the concert... so yeah.

I like how the setlist grows longer and longer...it was her longest tour from the beginning, wasnt it? And there more and more songs being added^^

THAT'S GREAT!!! :luv2
ca't wait for the dvd... >_<

I wish the videos were still on Youtube. :(

I still have some of them.. I haven't been told any of my videos were removed, strange. Oh well.

I happy Sunrise is in the encore, I think it fits well before everywhere nowhere. ^_____^

yay for adding Sunrise. that would be such a fun crowd song.

^ There should be a dance made. ;D

Sunrise will probably get a dance and be moved to pre-encore or later on by the final in Yoyogi in October. That's such a long time from now, omg.

I really can't wait to see this tour on DVD.

I found this new pic of ayu during the encore part of her concert. I am not sure which one this one is since I can't read kanji, but it does look pretty recent.
There are more new pics on yahoo japan auction.

Edit: I know that the costume are the same thing. I am sorry for not pointing out why I post this pic. Reason : Ayu's hair style looks different in the encore part. It's the first time I see her put her hair up like that during the encore part of the concert.

Oh noes...she's wearing the white top again. :(

Wow, how many versions of that top does she have? :laugh

^ The white ones should all be burnt. Only the black one is nice. :(

^ lol agreed.

lol That's her traditional encore t-shirt. With the exception of maybe one or two concerts, she's always worn a white t-shirt during the encore. True, the black one did look nice, but I was very surprised she actually wore it in the first place. lol

thanks for posting, the same thing, cant wait for this tour.

If I was on Ayu's concert staff. I would accidently burn her wardrobe of generic white shirts. :D

i love how happy she looks in the encore. her face must hurt from smiling so much :laugh

RPGames has a new review with 7/29 parts in it~
