Bottom left corner is the do it again outfit with the gold and the mask.
Sitting down on couch is MOON/fated, wearing a nightie.
The one with the water and holding the wing is November (same dress as rainbow)
The red dress is NEVER EVER/sending mail

She seems to have gained weight. Nothing wrong with that, just an observation.
I don't like the outfits. Too revealing, and they're not that appealing either. Hopefully the performances and her voice will make up for that.

EDIT: On second thought, she does look good in the do it again outfit.

Wow, talk about major boobage in most of the costumes lol :P

Now that you mention it, yeah I don't remember seeing Gomi last night. :(

Me too. I hope she's saving those for more grande Microphone-sque songs from the new album.

The costumes are very colorful and...revealing :D

One more thing: I want her long hair back. She doesn't look exactly appealing with that do in some of the shots IMO.

the only tour/concerts that i couldn't say a single bad word for the outfits was RnRC they all were perfect to me.

I'm not fancying these at all..the only two i really like is the red lacy & silver mini dresses (the one with the hat) ...

her stage costumes are always a huge miss or hit for me lol

And so begins my CDL rant.

Wtf is she wearing? (referring to the rainbow bikini outfit)
I don't know what is more distracting: the outfit or her boobs.

Second: Peco > Timmy... I'm sorry, what? Anyone who thinks Peco is better than him - let alone anyone - is tone deaf.

Peco possibly leaving A TROUPE/STAFF is one of the greatest days in Ayu history. Not just because of what I mentioned above either. Yes, she's been responsible for some great choreography and production, but I think she's gotten lazy in the past few years. *FLAIL FLAIL FLAIL *TISSUE DANCE* MORE FLAILING*

I think after reading the reviews, the only thing I'm excited for is the new backup singers. Because let's face it, Ayu sounds horrible on the live, unedited broadcasts (though I think half of that was Peco's fault). And if she DOES sound decent, there's some technical problem that prevents us from hearing her properly.

CDL won't suck because Peco isn't there. It'll suck because Ayu was in London until the very last minute, forcing the dancers to come up with stuff themselves.

(Oh, and because Gomi's not there :( )

Love the costumes... Except the one in bed haha thats sooooo random lol.. Maybe ayu used one of her lingerie collection for this cdl.

Ayu isn't making these staffers leave. Most of them are leaving because they want to move on or want to progress in their careers.

And Ayu.. looks like she's gained weight? She's so thin now!

She does look like she's gained a little weight, but it doesn't help that the costumes are incredibly unflattering. Her boobs look so saggy. In some of the pics, they're like down to her waist. D: She really needs to get some costumes that properly support her boobs ASAP.

Also, she sits through like 1/3 of the concert and the "wow" moment is a fountain? This CDL sounds like a trainwreck. :no

It all does seem a little randomly put together, and the sitting thing is weird ? For a minute I thought she might have hurt herself or something ... I also don't know how I feel about her having more backup singers, but I don't want to judge it too much from the reviews without seeing it yet though

Good that she gained some weight, she looks better like that than really skinny. And LOL at her boobs looking saggy. They really don't :/ wtf


BTW, gotta love these random picky conversations or discussions about ayu's weight, hair, costumes, every-single-****ing-detail.

+1. I think her boobs look fine, anyway.

I agree about her boobs too. My boyfriend even said something... I think they look fine.

Idk about her weight... but as for the other things... aren't we supposed to be discussing that? Costumes and hair, etc are half of the concert.

lol this D: they don't look saggy to me.
The colorful outfit isn't that bad imo :3 I really like the jacket.

Anyway thanks for your reviews guys.
I think at first HLS must have been more glamorous and classy, but then it's turned into something more colorful and partyish.
I'm a bit disappointed because it seems a little bit messed up by your reviews lol but I'm extremely happy because she's performing November :luv2 finally. And I'm so curious about Party Queen (lol got wrong name) D:

She only really sounds bad in a few live broadcasts. I thought she sounded fine in most of POWER of MUSIC's live.

I liked your review. It seems her performance was very poor, but well, we're not supposed to look perfect and be super high always, i think. We all might have bad days and she probably tried to make it through the concert and be professional (like always), who knows if she's going through a bad moment, so i hope this is temporary and she'll be able to give her best soon:). Because otherwise this would be unnaceptable; i wouldn't go to a concert to see dancers as highlight of the show.

On the other hand, sometime ago you mentioned she might got her voice deeper because of smoking, and back then i didn't make sense to me, but since i sing opera now and recently got an otitis when i went to Chicago, i'm afraid to say you're probably right. I had the typical symptoms of a cold and i realized i was totally unable to sing. I couldn't catch my breath for a long time and force my throat to sing is painful yet. I've heard her in studio versions and her lung capacity is very short, especially for a singer. I REALLY HOPE she's not smoking anymore, for her career's sake.

I think it was drinking that people attributed to her funky vocals a few years ago.

But she's obsessive about ~maintaining her voice~ now so she doesn't smoke or drink as far as we know. She's even mentioned drinking a lot less nowadays compared to before [~2007]. About the smoking, I don't think she's done it for a while now. The last time she probably smoked was around the Memorial address/MY STORY era if we are to believe tabloids.

just going to agree with all that say her boobs are looking fine and not saggy. her whole body is looking amazing actually. I think this weight is perfect for her.

Wait, Timmy is singing backup on MOON? How is that working out?

And oh god, Party Queen sounds like it could be some hot mess kpop song.
