wow, yo-chan put magic on this Jump! extended version, sound so good, better than cd/AT10 version!!

love her deep voice in Connected, the key for the song also lowered.

glad that the original intro for Boys & Girl is back, but the stupid useless long outro is back also.

and finally, ayuready gone!

Wait, ayuready is gone?

Probably not gone forever, might be only for this tour, but there wasn't the ayuready part this time because the break before the encore was almost non-existent...

that dancing A part better gone forever, its start interestingly for few tour, but for recent years it start became boring

No. I honestly think tha Ayuready part before the encore be back. I love it. It makes my heart pound fast everytime due to excitement. It surely felt something big is missing during the premium showcase. And the Japanese love it too. Me and the people sitting around me were surprized that it wasn't there last time :( Cross fingers for the upcoming CDL (if there'd be)

^I didn't mind it not being there. I think PREMIUM SHOWCASE was meant to be something Ayu did very differently to all her previous ARENA TOURs, hence the different name, it was a chance for her to not be obligated to follow her past traditions such as concert staples (even though she added B&G for Tokyo) or necessarily have a cutesy section or have the AYUREADY before the encore.

I think for Japanese fans who have been to her show more than once can let it go for PREMIUM SHOWCASE, but would rightly expect for those things to be back for CDL.

Btw, I am selling both my What is forever love? / NOW & 4EVA singles for all the collectors out there :)

I disagree on decisions, Terminal, and Connected, actually, but part of that probably has to do with the fact that I got a little carried away this time around and was too busy dancing and imagining I was up there too. xD

I wish! I really don't like this part!

You didn't like terminal and connected? It was so good! Her voice was so deep at the beginning of connected it was sexy! Can't wait for the DVD. I shouted ayu a few times in the quiet bits Lol

after listening to the entire audio
interlude before TO BE is so beautiful. better than CDL.
BUT i wanna ask what happen to the interlude before ANGEL? Why so long and annoying. lol

Thank you very much! It's kind of you! ;)

That's the EPIC part when Ayu did the tissue dance!

I thought she was doing it after Angel, no?

^ before and after, before by her own, after with another dancer.

thank you for audio:yes

(bumping because the previous thread reached over 500 posts, yet people didn't really pay attention...)

I saw the dailymotion videos and here are a few thoughts. I felt like this show was more polished and not as disjointed as some past shows. I love that Ayu was challenging herself especially with Angel's performance. Like others, What is forever love felt a little strange with Ayu singing the duet by herself. Lelio is my favorite song though I wish the camera stayed on Ayu more so I could see her dancing. Overall I was pleased as this was the first tour/showcase I have enjoyed since Power of Music and CDL 2012-2013. Nothing has yet been able to top the epicness of Arena Tour 2010 but this showcase does a decent job at bringing back an Ayu in command of the stage.

I allowed myself to cut Connected, Whatever and Angel, add subtitles and upload to video services. Here, wanted to share with you guys ^^

^thanks!

In Connected I've tried to sing along and move my hands as energetically as she does and sadly it seriously disturbs the flow.
