Yeah, it's a little shocking but hopefully Ayu's will be different. ^_^
_______________________________________________

lol yep totally a pirate a ship...

omg, not that cheesy SURREAL～evolution～SURREAL again!! x_x

I also know the breakdown of the songs finally. D:

The first outfit is the one that's like aluminum and it's for talkin' 2 myself and is this LOVE?.
Second outfit is the pink plaid getup and that's for Depend on you and Fly high.
Third outfit is dark and is for (don't) Leave me alone. And after that, she removes part of the outfit and it becomes red for a fourth outfit for decision and my name's WOMEN. [the outfit with a red tail behind it]
Fifth outfit is a sort of white dress for Marionette.
Sixth outfit is a long white dress that has an extending skirt for HANABI and End roll.
Seventh outfit is a shiny outfit that looks like money[?] for SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL and Mirrorcle.

How is it cheesy?

I'm happy with the tracklist AND with the outfits!!!! I really hope there will be better pictures of the stage and THE ship (so that the discussions can stop, or begin again...).
In that picture with the black clothes and her hair flying back, she looks like Beyoncé:)
I'm happy that she looks like she is enjoying herself and that her singing was well.
Way to go, Ayu!

woah is Ayu wearing wigs for her performances..?
Her hair isn't that long already..
Even with extensions you'd be able to spot her real hair since its short

it is cheesy..
cause she does SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL ALL the time...

The only time she sang those songs like that were at the ARENA TOUR 2003～2004 A. so is not like all the time.

but if you are complaining about ayu singing "evolution" and "surreal" all the time then that's a another subject. :yes

If you would look at ayu's tours you would know she did this medley only once, 4 years ago on ARENA TOUR 2003-2004...

Yes she does sing evolution and SURREAL a lot but she's only sang them together as a medley once before and that was back in Arena Tour 2003-2004 so I still don't get how it's cheesy.

My favorite medley ever!!! btw I'm so happy is back!!!

The outfits look great!

She looks kinda fat in the pictures o__o
I'm shocking because at Paris, she was sooooo skinny.

Actually I loved the medley from STADIUM TOUR 2002 the best. But I'm not complaining at SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL, it's nice.

I wouldn't say Ayu is kinda fat. It doesn't bother me much though probably because I've always felt Ayu needed to put on a little more weight. I like my Ayu a little plump. :D

HMm I can't really tell about the outfits, they seem like metallic mess to me at the moment. XD (bad photos) I don't really like the school girl outfit either. XD OH WELL.

The red one reminds me of Peco's dress in AT07. D:

OO OMg she is so kawaii I love all outfit!!!!
I want t see it :weep

Ack! You're right! Ayu looks better in it in my opinion.

I want to see the white dress (which are the best costumes IMO for her normally). The rest is just metallic...weirdness. Well, the plaid wasn't too bad. Actually, I thought it would be cool for her to wear a seventeenth century dress to go with the pirate theme like for Kohaku 2006.

The Mirrorcle World performance looks pretty cheap, just standing on top of a boat lol. I was hoping for glass breaking [give it up XD].

^LMAO maybe she ripped her coat :laugh

Gotta love that girl :love

errr..really no a song for xx? :cry costumes look great. tracklist is ~_~

I actually really love the costumes!! And her hair looks great!!

@israel: LOL that would be awesome. XD

Is it me or Ayumi seems to have a fascination with corsets? I've noticed that through several tours and lives since...2004...

Thanks for all the info! ^_____^ <3

You know I've never noticed it until you pointed it out but yes I think she does.

wow. so amazing ~_~ love the setlist !

I'm so glad she hasn't done songs like Trauma, AUDIENCE, but i'm surprised UNITE! isn't there.

also missing Together When... but oh well !

the theme seems cool + i like the outfits, but kinda strange how Kumi did the whole ship/pirate/mermaid theme with BLACK CHERRY TOUR 2007 and now Ayu is doing it.......

I'm so excited for the concert later this day :D

I'm so dissapointed she left Together When... / fated / GUILTY

actually I have in my mind that she'd tied Together When... with fated and decision with GUILTY or A Song for XX

then leave talkin' 2 myself alone, or at least she tied is this LOVE? with desicion and add 1 more costumes. she's like wearing the same costume for 3 songs : (don't) leave me alone-decision-my name's WOMEN. just add soem lil things
but oh well...ayu can't satisfy all we wants
at least better pics quality will be nice
that's like shot from cell phone...and I think most of the costume are like...metalic black/silver...and ayu being tied in a platform like that looks like Britney Spears performance in Las Vegas

the stage looks the best this time...very very GRANDE
i mean...the stairs (steps) are really only in the middle
we have to see another costumes though

i think she looks fat too...
i can see her belly is not flat anymore in that pinky outfit
well, but i love what i see so far...
love it...can't wait for more review

Those are some interesting outfits! This is going to be a very interesting concert, I'm just sad "GUILTY" isn't going to be in it. But who knows, she could change the set list up once she's halfway through her tour or even do a "special final" concert as a big blowout celebration for her anniversary. I half wonder if she actually does have plans for something like that! Would be crazy awesome!

Let's be happy that GUILTY is the only song from the album (though I would like a GUILTY live as well) she never performed, she performed all of the other songs from that album ^_^ (in CDL 07-08 and this tour).

^ It still would have been nice to see GUILTY performed since she's always performed the title track to the album during her tours.

btw why doesn't anybody who went last nite give us some comments LOL

Today is when most foreigners are going. Not many went yesterday..

She might sing it on one of the next tours though. We will have to wait =P ...

^ oh ya a special final in TOKYO DOME LOL
though ayu never done it b4
but who knows...30 songs will make ayu exhausted LOl

These outfits are rockin.

I'm expecting a lot from this concert. I'm extremely curious about that ship.

The stage blows!!!!!!!
It just gets better XD

the outfit for (don't) leave me alone, talkin' 2 myself , and Mirrorcle World confuse me LOL
almost the same design LOL

dun worry
there'll be some minor changes Later if we notice LOL

huh? is she gonna perform in Tokyo Dome @ final night or you guys are joking???

There are few outfit pictures missing.
Wait wait wait...


Again.. OMG END ROLL..........Why she choose this song in this tour?

^ ya Will, this time the stage is superb
I notice the big screen is wider... it's like 16:9 instead of 4:3 LOL...I think this gonna be superb..we just need to see more pics and review...like last AT07 we got really good reviews and the Live was indeed amazing

I want to see Marionette and end roll costumess ahhhhhhhh
She looks so pretty
This is so gonna be the ebst tour ever

hamasaki edwin we are just assuming if there'll be a special final LOL
which will be nice..ahhaha

i just love her highschool girl pinky outfit and the red corset with tails..other than that..hmmmmmmm~ confusingg....

I wish she would announce it earlier - I bought my tickets already!

^ HAHHAHA dun worry
I think it's impossible to happened
but kuu's special final was a shocking news LOL coz it's just suddenly announced

Honestly... I'm quite disappointed about the outfits... half of them are like recycling the old ones. The pink one looks like the combo of student+waitress outfit, the red and black dress (with red fur at her waist) is just a modification of last year's white outfit.
And I was expecting to see Mirrorcle World hairstyle, but she ended up doing JEWEL/Secret era hairstyle.

At least she looks really pretty in the encore part..

seems that ayu gains weight so much... *No no i won't say she's fat* but she definitely gains weight a bit~

This thread is kind of nearing 500 posts, so I'm gonna repost the entire first post in a new thread. D;~

It's pretty amazing to see a thread almost over 500 posts in just a single day..

Anywayz, judging from her waist, she is not fat... Somehow her face is swollen a bit. I really think that curly+bang hairstyle is kinda bad for her. She looks much better w/ the one of the MW hairstyles in the encore part.

I am dying for a detailed review of the concert...where's the member that went yesterday? T___T

even though a song for xx wasn't performed, end roll is also good! I love that song! If the carousel for marinette is true, then my dream came true. The first time I saw that pv, I thought it would be so awesome if ayu would do that in her concert...and she did!!

Some of you people are so superficial. We talked about fat last year, remember? xD I think it's stupid to even consider it again

what i want to say is that, she gains a little and that's good for her..
that means she's happy!! that's all~
not that i'm saying she shouldn't be fat!

Most artists gain weight at the start of a tour though because they lose it quickly throughout. Namie addressed that particular issue in a magazine article. She does the same thing.

Oh, I get you. xD

Yeah, Ayu usually ends up super toned and thin by the final concert. XDD

Pirates and mermaids? Hmmmm... :|

We're not supposed to talk about that anymore, milky... :lech

I don't see "KKBCTDSF" anywhere in the thread title. XD

KKBCTDSF???? I'm not going to compare her tour to Koda's if that's what you're implying.

I'm just saying that I don't see Ayu's songs fitting the pirate theme, but time will tell.

I think its quite obvious that the theme for this tour is linked to her 10th anniversay and the "habour" theme~thats why some of the outfits and performances were similar with her past ones

if you watch ayu recent dvd (at05,at06,at07) she gained weight while touring lol! just compare her photos in the earlier day of tour with the later :)

she eats a lot, she gains weight then she's not depressing over the past things that happen to her..that's good thing :) :) :) :) :)

are we supposed to keep posting in here or the part II thread?

The only reason she gained weight during AT07 was because there were a lot less dates, and a lot of trips to expensive restaurants in Asia.. XD

I'd say keep posting in here until it hits 499/500.

oh ic.. but you're opening the part II thread so early..
well, never mind...

i've been wonderin when are the schedules for ASIA TOUR!!!!

she gained weight too in her previous concert imo. her cheek became bigger as she kept on touring. my guess is she have to eat much for her stamina while touring

Thanks for sharing! That was exciting...

thanks for the pics

yea exactly...i mean, most people dun really find GUILTY vrey amazign anyway (but i do)...She might change the tracklist for her ACTUAL 8TH APRIL (i hope there is at least some surprise..other than a cake)...and prolly for the Asia dates...

yea, maybe one gets wet or something LOL...
but yea, they do look similar because they are long and metallic

i actually expected for GUILTY and Together When... but both were not there...
why there's no Together When...?

^not sure...its rally a Damn gd song...o man...
she should have gave it a solo performance...
(and maybe took out mnW

No Together When..., not even for the encore? Kind of unexpected.

Yeah, i agree with you.

Wow, that's pretty amazing.. this year, the tour is mobilizing 230,000 fans in Japan alone.. @_@~

That means that 250,000+ people will see Ayu's AT08 this year including the OS performances!!

^ there's gonna b way more ppl than that! we don't even know where she is going overseas! what if she ends up going to Singapore? that'll be alot more ppl!

pirate theme sounds awesome. koda kumi did something similar in her black cherry tour as well

OMG!!! After reading the reviews and seeing the concert pics, i'm so excited for this concert.. it's a wonder how Ayu managed to surprise and wow everyone every single time.. My fav outfit is the sexy red outfit for my name's WOMEN and the cutsy pink outfit for fly high =)

It must be pretty hard to choose only some songs having so many hits.

The outfits are great :D and it seems that the whole pirate ship thingy doesn't look like ku's at all, as nothing seems cheap :D I wanna see it so badly!

woww the pink outfit looks cute on her
and LMAo
wen i first saw the 3rd picture on the top
i thought she GAINED A HELL LOTTA WEIGHT
lols

i expected about mirrorcle world...
she looks fatter

she's not fat!!! maybe she takes some kind of medicine that makes her gain weight a little bit, but she's not FAT

thks for the setlists and pictures!

zomgz pirate ship sounds so OMG! totally AYU! EXTRAVANGANT!

again ENVY!
