Her contract is probably up? Isn't there an age limit with Kose or is that just Kate?

Her contract with Kose has been up since 2004, but I believe Kose sponsored her for AT08..

I bought a black hoodie when i was there, its really well made, ill post a pic later :)
I also bought a tour shirt.

My better review will be written soon.

yeah..i know that, but from what i know kose keep sponsored her every year tour...

but looks like this year is different...she made a deal with new cosmetics company...hopefully she will be a spokeswoman for that brand too...and a CM!!! will be nice...

So I ended up going to tonight's concert, too, and this time, I was on the arena floor, in section C2.

There was no new song tonight. Maybe next month we'll hear one. Tonight, during the MC, they called out Maron, her dog! He waddled out, and everyone was going "Aww!" It was so cute! He's really fat, and Ayu joked about it slightly when she picked him up. She tried to get him to talk, too, but all he did was kiss her face :P

And I don't remember seeing this game posted, but they played another game tonight. I'm not sure of the name, but there's six players, and three teams of two. On the screen, there are random Japanese words. One person has to act out the word, and the other has to guess it. Either they pass or they guess. Once the person guessing has guessed right, they switch spots, over and over until time is up. I won't give away the details or winners here, but I'll post them on my concert review here.

edit: Click here for my short review of today's concert, plus some additional tidbits that I didn't put in my review from yesterday.

FYI, the guy who was trying to sell me one of those Rimmel sets last night said that up until the Yoyogi shows, the mirror had been white. I'm not sure if the black mirror is a Tokyo-only thing or if it'll be black from now on. Anyway, cute mirror!!

oh, marron kissed her face! I hope they put the mcs on the dvd again! with the games im sure it will be better than AT08s mcs

Oh, so there have been Rimmel London merch sold throughout the tour? I'm very surprised I didn't hear about it until yesterday lol

All I have to say is that the concert was AWESOME! I totally want to go to another one. w00t.

looking forward to this picture!

Please link me to any reviews so I can put them in the first post, thanks!

Link to four songs recorded live.. Curtain call = AMAZING!

From the topic I made on the spur of the moment (out of excitement) :p

Curtain call is AMAZING
aww it sounds like she's crying in Days

Can I ask...I always thought that MC = Main Concert...but it appears to mean something else. :S

MC -> Master of Ceremonies, basically the person who moderates an event.

Oh...right...but...all the MC seems to be is talking and stuff. xD

Comments about the recordings:

Boys & Girl - extremely interesting new style, since she doesn't yell out the last words of the chorus like how she has always been... I like it!

evolution - I think she sounds great, though she sounds like she's rapping in the choruses lol.

Curtain call - ... omg. Awesome. Magnificent. Emotional. Moving. Touching. Beautiful. Ear Candy. Ayu, I LOVE YOU!

Days - ... omg. Listening to this just reminds me why Days is my favorite song... I don't care who thinks this is 'awful' or 'off-tune' cos she doesn't sound like that until the bridge. And she was crying after that. Omg omg omg. I almost cried...

I think AT 09 is gonna be her best, vocally. I can't wait to watch this on a DVD!

You can also hear the Arigatou Gozaimasita on that website~
And also her talking over the announcement thing at the end!!
Her voice sounds soooo different than it once was.. I am surprised! ahahah

Sounds Amazing! Wish I could've seen it!:(

*-* yeees I also noticed she cryed in Days!! same opinion as waterballoon!!
