She always is sketching Ayu’s costumes. Even ones she even dreams up. Although I’d love it if her notes could be translated to English

I guess tomorrow's vocals will naturally be a bit worse but I hope they still will be fine/good. The show is less than 2h, so it should be better. Two times that show is pretty much the same as doing one show of AT15. If her voice is stable enough we should be fine.

Imagine if she cuts the setlist because of 2 shows per date?
But based on previous experience I'm afraid her voice won't be in the best shape for recording.

based on her tendencies in previous CDLs, the second out of the three performances risks having the shortest set list.

I imagine the show is starting now in Japan so I hope to hear more reviews here soon.

What is the schedule of the shows today?

I think the first show of the day should be soon and the second is yet to happen?

Daytime show starts in like 30-60 mins?

Next show is at 1:30 and it’s 12:15 now :)

Second show at 6

Any news of the setlist?

Hope ayu keeps Life Return Road (miss)understood today

Wow! Her report is very detailed. She nailed the costumes. I'm impressed how she can remember everything so detailed :laugh Now reading I also can write a more detailed review. Yesterday I was almost sleepy while writing, please forgive me lol

Spoiler:

I think the setlist will be the same. They're gonna release after last concert so I don't see the point in changing but who knows

I’m sitting in my seat now and I’m right behind the monitors for the sound and lights director person. ^^; it’s a pretty sucky place to be seated lol. I hope it’ll be easy to ignore…

*the venue is small though so really even the seats in the back aren’t that far haha

I'm so happy it remained the same!

EDIT: Deleted the setlist from my post as it was already posted.

She sounded really good! I was worried with it being the last show and second of the day, but really she did well IMO!

The monitors in front of me weren’t *that* bad but I could definitely see them the whole time lol.

I personally don’t love how the show kinda went for a gothic feel, but it was nice hearing slightly different arrangements for some songs. Return Road was nice but as I was watching the stage, I couldn’t figure out what the “story” for the performance was lol.

Still, I’m glad I could go and it was nice to see her live again!

Edit: I’d say she definitely had some areas where the high notes were hard, but they strategically used the choir and chorus, so it was well handled I think. I’m not sure how that’ll translate to recorded versions though haha. A song is born was maybe the toughest at the higher parts? Today probably had some of the best vocal control at the beginning of the song. Haruyo koi was also done well, and I loved her dress.

^Ahhh, I'm so happy to hear that!!!

Did she struggle with any song? E.g. higher notes etc.

Do you think the live video will be edited? They have only few days to do that.

I think they can have enough time to synce audio and video.
But everything is possible, she can spend money having the mastered video :))
