HOLY SHIT THAT TO BE DRESS IS GARGANTUAN.
I LOVE IT. GODDAMN. |
I am attending the 4, 5, and 6th of July concerts. Anyone else?

Noo that dress looks like she'll sing TO BE and Hello new me just standing still... Probably with someone flailing around shirtless. Yay.
Now Days AT09 was a beautiful performance. "Aitakute aitakute" *walks to the edge of the platform* *crowd cheers* And when Shuya hugs her at the end, I teared up. :') <3 |
I tried to buy those free CDs ate Yahoo Auctions but no way I'm paying $50 for those :@

I got both for 2000 Yen each o.o
|
I got the 1st for 1000 yen only o.O u guys are spending too much....
waiting for the 2nd to drop. I think only foreigners are spending that much on these CDs... |
Are you guys including the shipping tax? Because for South America it is 1,700 JPY..
|
1800-2000 Yen is the normal price the CDs usally sell from what I can say, so not only foreigners pay that much. For 1000 you have to be rly lucky. And no 2000 Yen is the item-alone price. For teh first one I paid 22€ with all fees, but not including international shipping because I am waiting for the 2nd one to arrive and also have one ayupan that needs to be shipped.
|
For me it would be around 4,400 JPY (item price+shipping tax), around R$ 96 (US$ 44). Which is the price I'd be paying for Colours CD+BD..
|
There's one in eBay right now, I don't buy from that seller though because she over charges WAY TOO MUCH.

Surprised it wasn't mentioned, but technically an extended version of Jump! comes in between XOXO and Lelio.
At least it did at the Osaka show I went to. Also, Feel the love is a mash-up with one of the remixes. Maybe the DJ Hello Kitty remix? Can't quite recall. |
Can't wait for the show tonight. I got a ticket in the first few rows of block A!
|
Yay for you! Feel free to report later your impressions. Remember: there is no limit in words xD
|
Just took my seat. Six rows from the stage. Super excited! !!
|
I wonder if there will be a change in the setlist?
|
Walking out now. After now&4eva I was expecting the last song feel the love. And then the intro to boys n girls started and she sang that with July 1st as the first encore. Curtains down again and then feel the love as the last song. I lost my shit at july 1st. Hadn't heard it live before. Sorry for punctuation. Holding umbrella in other hand
|
July 1st! :luv2
|
Spoiler:
setlist, 2 more songs in encore, so happy B&G is back, coz i really hope B&G contd hold the record that she sang it in ALL tour n CDL :D hopefully last show she will add Pray ... + flowers in backstage Spoiler:
|
still dont like about BoY, im going to skip that in the DVD =.=
B&G may be fun live but not on the screen, so pass it too, great for July 1st and yes hoping for Pray preaaaaseeee |
I'm hoping for My Way with m-flo in final show
|
Bold & Delicious, You & Me, NOW & 4EVA, Boys & Girls
LOL 4 consecutive "&"s |
Ayu's husband was in front of me the whole encore. He stared at me. LOL
|
^ woww awesomee..

Oh nice!! Boys & Girls and July 1st! =))

Overall it was a fantastic show. All the upbeat songs in succession was amazing. Some of the interludes drag on a fair bit, and some of the interludes are lame, like when they involve Yo chan and Enrique. And NOW &4EVA is placed very oddly in the show. .... But it's outro is very fitting I guess.
Some parts of songs were lipsynced...... I think Lelio the verses were definitely lipsynced. Some bits of NEVER EVER. I think XOXO was mostly lipsynced. .... I'm not good at judging these things but because I was so close to Ayu I tried to focus on her mouth movements to catch her out. Some bits definitely looked suspicious. Terminal was. .... I love the song but Ayu had terrible stage presence in this performance..... It's like she didn't know what to do when she wasn't singing. Best performances were Angel and STEP YOU in my opinion. She uses her dancers too much. They are there for Decision, because of you and even Hello new me! It's annoying. But overall a great show. Great seat. I was so close to catching a ball twice. Looking forward to tomorrow's show, sitting in the stands this time! |
Thank you Miki and HilaryDuffFanboy!
I wonder if she will add even more songs on the final date! Was the arena mostly full? Or did it has the weekend "emptiness" as well? |

Oh wow. Thank you. These are awesome.
|
Those pics are from barks:
http://www.barks.jp/news/?id=1000105302 According to the article, 11,500 people attended the concert today! |
I wonder how many people usually attended in the previous concerts a day ?
|
She changed the Angel dress with a white one, neat! it gives more variations to the colors of the tour wardrobe.
And loving the details of WHATEVER dress, it's nice to see her in it! Why is she still put What is forever love in the rock section :| |
wow thanks for sharing those pics *--* She looks amazing! and yay for July 1st :heart
|
Wow she looks so good!!!! I suppose she lost the weight she gained? lol
|
God please let her keep July 1st for the final setlist! Was probably a one off thing though :(
|
Even if she won't keep July 1st/she will replace it you will still probably have it on a-nation lol. But yeah it's a cool song.
|
I want to cry.. I mean, that gawn.. It's not even a gawn.. It's.. It's super huuuuge!! :teek
It really reminds me of walking proud @ AT05. I know it's completely different, but I get that vibe~ :heart This tour/showcase/concert/whatever it is looks absolutely fabulous~ Quote:
|
hopefully it won't get deleted anytime soon |
O - M - G at the Angel performance :OMG
and that gown is terrific! (i just didn't like the waving hand on Hello new me chorus, it was kinda tacky..) I can wait to pre-order my blu-ray copy of this thing, seriously, it looks amazing :cool |
That metalic dress is pretty cool, almost don't lke the roundness at the bottom but it's not too bad she still looks great!
|
She looks great :) I can't stand that FTL outfit though, it's the tank top..I hate it! if the colors were inverted (like pink or white, instead of black) it would look better.
|
Ayu and tissue dance...:luv2 trully angelic view.
|
The TO BE/ Hello new me section was fun. The dress rotates and it looks so mechanical it's funny. The fake acting n crying is too much though. ... I guess her Japanese fans eat it up though.
Another annoying thing is NOW&4EVA is an great finale song with an awesome outro, but for the first half Ayu is singing it with looks of anguish and despair while she has dancers behind her ffs!!! And then she goes from super sad to all happy at the end of the song.... Great song and vocal performance. ... But those dancers... urgh! In Angel, the "I wanna be Angel oooo ooooo for you" parts are extended to four repetitions each time instead of two on the CD version. She doesn't song this bit I think, it's just playback. |
its suprised me that the gown can spin...that's cool
and Ayu working so hard on that tissue dance performance...good job Ayu... |
Yet, ayu doesn't care about her music lol... I can't wait for the DVD! Wish I could have seen this live.
|
I won the sticker set at the TA booth haha. Only 50 people can win (every day) so I felt rather lucky :P
|
Another preview ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ehap...ature=youtu.be WHATEVER seems good, angel performance is impressive, the huge dress in hello new me is pretty but the dancers behind Ayu are annoying ! |
that red...thing lol it looks more like a part of a stage set rather than an outfit xD Ayu's prolly up on some pedestal to be able to even sing stuck in it xD I am also not sure why they needed to put the dancers up there too, they are distracting. The metalic one looks really good, the only i liked. Also the Angel performance looks rather stunning. I could care less for the rest to be honest.
|
good job ayu for the tissue dance!
she looks so stunning! and of course better than her angel PV..why she didn't do that for the PV.. ~ |
Considering the public response so far, maybe Angel will become one of her iconic performances...
|
Agree with some people that says the dancers for Hello new me is distracting, I mean it's nice if she wasn't in that friggin dome dress and can interact with the dancers but with her stationary, having the dancers dancing behind her seems off for me
And Angel looks great :heart |

Just took my seat for the second show. Sitting on the second level directly in front of the centre stage. The show was looked full from the ground yesterday and today sitting on the second lvl its 90% full. You could still buy tickets outside for today's show. I think recalling yesterday's events there are only like 2 songs out of 20 where there are no dancers. NEVER EVER and TO BE I think. Her dancers take the soul away from songs like decision and Because of you. Yesterday's show started at 7pm ish and finished at 9:05. The interlude lengths for the first 3/4 of the show is incredulously long. My favourite outfit is the STEP you/XOXO outfit where she is going for sexy policewoman-like look. Her red lipstick is fierce. |
Though I enjoyed the concert, its the first time I got bored to the interludes LOL! Please record the song of Timmy and Princess!
|
^^Her most remembered performances among japanese people (or at least it seens like that because they are ALWAYS shown when they talk about her as a performer) are M at A-Museum and No way to say at AT03-04, 2 performances I don't find anything special about. When I say it may become iconic is on the sense of it becoming a recognizible performance of hers.^^
|
Here, even a newspaper wrote about ayu's fabulous performances.
http://www.image-share.com/upload/2611/254.jpg[/ ayu still recieve positive public feedbacks from the media/public. And they are from this year's SHOWCASE. Not from a decade ago. =) |
She deserves it. She put on a great show. Timmy n Princess' are singing now....
|
So excited!! I'm going tomorrow!

Não vamos abusar do português se não o ImpactBreaker vem aqui e dá bronca na gente na nossa própria língua! *already happened* xD
Back to English! I'm happy this concert is getting some good attention and I hope it reflects on sales! |
We can hope, but i think the general public will still have a bad image about her, they rather put her personal life above her music anyways... :rolleyes
|
If it sells similar or better than LOVE again is already a good signal!
|
Just got to the airport and settled into the lounge waiting for my flight. Can finally write a review instead of random thoughts now and again. :p
The concert lights dim and there is rain on the centre stage. It starts off with a guy in a silver outfit that's covering his entire body except his eyes. You find out soon that he is like the mascot/comic relief/interlude-time-waster of the show, much like the clowns she used to have. I found the rain pointless at this point in time but I realise why she used it mich later. The silvered man dances and flails away for a few minutes, and then he disappears and the intro to Feel the love starts as the curtains go up! It is the same intro as the one in CDL13-14. As the curtains go up, the main stage is covered in lots of smoke (like AT10) and her dancers are dressed up in robot/futurist like outfits (again, like AT10, I bet they are recycled) and they start dancing to the intro music. It was amazing!!! I was six rows from the stage and I LOVE this intro to FTL. Just near the end of the intro when you would expect FTL to start playing, the 'slide' opens up (the bottom of the slide has a screen now, unsure if there was in CDL13-14) Ayu pops up from the centre stage in a gold dress, takes four big steps forward as her dancers take the same amount of steps back, and BOOM she starts singing the first few lines of WHATEVER. 01. WHATEVER It was a decent performance, not as good as CDL04-05, and Ayu stands around for most of it. She does like 30 seconds of very simple choreography before the last chorus. Vocally she sounded decent, I was expecting her to be shouty but not so. This song was definitely sang live, given she didn't have much choreography, and you could hear her imperfections. I love WHATEVER and have never heard it sang live, but the performance didn't blow me away, it felt like a little dampening after the awesome intro with the FTL intro. What let it down also was the light show wasn't that spectacular, it was better in the next song. You've all seen the outfits, and another reason was I didn't feel her outfit was that great, which was the case with most of the show, it felt like it was halfway between CDL and an AT in terms of the wardrobe. After seeing her dancers in the AT10 opening outfits, I wanted it to be something as grand as her Microphone dress. 02. Last angel As Ayu sings the last few words of WHATEVER 'omou kara...', the music to Last Angel starts. As the music builds up to the first chorus, Ayu shouts out "IKUZE YOYOGIIIII" as the audience erupts and is ready to continue the high. This song was definitely sang live again, and Ayu spends most of it shaking her body and moving her feet to beat at the front of the catwalk. She has some choreography when the playback is playing for the parts of the verses she isn't singing, again, simple slow hand movements. Her vocal performance on this one was pretty good, much better than when I saw Ayu perform this song live at CDL10-11. As ayu finishes, the main stage lights dim and the house lights are turned on. People are confused but very soon it becomes apparent that Enrique, Timmy. Princess and Yo-chan walk through the arena from the side and "perform" while they slooowwwlly walk to the stage. When they get on the stage, Timmy and Princess start harmonising melodies to Yo-chan's guitar and you know rock Ayu is about to come on. 03. decision The piano intro starts and three half naked male dancers pop up and while I am excited to see decision performed, this is one of the many cases where dancers are not needed! The dancers outfits look recycled but I can't recall which AT. Ayu pops up wearing a knee length dress with silver chains/jewels covering it. For the first verse and chorus, she also has a silver mask on that covers everything below her eyes. The mask was fierce and I was disappointed she took it off because without the mask it looked like a CDL outfit. The screen behind Ayu is just a view of Ayu performing, but with flames added as if Ayu is burning. Ayu performs this song quite well, again, it was live, she could have shouted, but she only did it a couple of times. During the bridge, she walks down the catwalk, the first time in the show she leaves the main stage, and the people in the A-blocks go nuts as their idol walks past them. Yo-chan, Enrique, Timmy and Princess (let's call them YETP from now on) join Ayu on the centre stage as it's raised while Ayu belts out the final chorus of decision. 04. NEVER EVER As Ayu finishes her last "YEEEAHHH" if decision, the lights dim for a few moments before the intro music to NEVER EVER starts and I go nuts. I love this song, and Ayu always gives it her all in the choruses. This is the one of only two songs in the entire show that does NOT have dancers. I'm glad! She sings it on the centre stage with YETP, and even has YETP do some VERY simple choreography with her in the second verse, they walk in unison. A bit lame if you ask me.... but whatever, I still really enjoyed the performance. Vocally again she sounds good, was definitely live and she really put her heart into it, we could feel the energy. 05. Because of You The intro to Because of you starts and three female dancers with recycled outfits from GAME/my name's WOMAN from AT05 appear and of them hands Ayu half a microphone stand (what good is that?). Ugh, dancers, not again! But once again I also love this song and the energy was amazing coming from Ayu. I just ignored the dancers and focused on Ayu. Throughout the song, Ayu slowly makes her way back to the centre stage. At the end during the outro of the song, Ayu has some simple choreopgraphy where her and her dancers are strutting back to the centre stage, and look back and serve up some attitude every few steps, Ayu looked fierce as! Again the song was sang live, and Ayu did quite well. 06. What is forever love Very odd place for this song, after 3 rock songs, Ayu stays in the same outfit. When was the last time Ayu performed FOUR songs in the same outfit at an AT? Girl must be poor. As the song progresses, three dancers appear progressively, and it turns out there is a love quadrangle going on between them. (wow, how original, never done that before Ayu) It was hard to get into the song because the spoken bits (it's playback) are distracting, as is Urata's playback, and it felt disjointed after the decision/NEVER EVER/because of you trio. Throw in some fake Ayu "aitaiiiiiiiiiiii" facial expressions and I was like "This song really doesn't do anything for me". This song was sang live, but it was probably the weakest performance of the night for me. I suspect if Urata appear on Sunday's show it will make it a lot better. The main stage curtains go down just as Ayu's lover is trying to make a final dash to meet Ayu but as Ayu's luck would have it, the curtains close all the way before her lover can reach Ayu. The interlude is some aerial acrobatics with two dancers on the centre stage. Not Ayu yet. :p 07. TO BE The music starts and the curtains raise and we are treated to one of the best visuals of the night. A sweet looking Ayu in a massive rose gown. It was massive! It was the first time I've heard TO BE live and I really enjoyed the performance. Even better, NO DANCERS. She sounded pretty good, almost a bit too polished, I wouldn't be surprised if for some of it she had the playback helping her out. Before the final chorus, the gown and Ayu starts doing a revolution and Ayu, throughout the entire song acts like a 15 year old girl with her hand motions, signifiying she is ready to love and give her heart to someone. It'd be good if it was a parody/joke but she is 35.... ah... gotta satisfy those Japanese fans with those kawaiiiiiiii gestures though! 08. Hello new me The music to Hello new me starts and three big roses are projected onto the stage behind Ayu, as if she needs more roses! Three wild dancers appear, and then another two. WHY?! They just add nothing to the song... detract from the song really... Anyhow, Ayu's dress moves up the stage for a meter or so while she sings, and she does another revolution while flailing her arms madly. Again vocally it sounded a bit too polished in bits, some bits were live, some bits I wouldn't be surprised if she used playback. 09. Angel This strongly awaited performance starts! On the main stage, a big blue ribbon rises up from beneath the stage with a body inside it. As it reaches the height of the arena, the body shuffles gracefully and lets out their head and hair, and we all realise it's Ayu and everyone starts clapping to encourage our idol. At this stage it's just an extended intro to Angel where Ayu does her manoeuvres/tricks/moves in the blue ribbon. She performs spectacularly, of course she is not as good as her dancers but what she performed clearly required a lot of effort and dedication and rehearsing on her part. As Ayu descends back down to the stage to finish her dance, the lights dim, and the intro to Angel starts. Ayu then sings Angel and sits in the ribbon like a swing for most of the song. Another two dancers appear and attach two more ribbons onto the first ribbon for aesthetic effects which look great. In the second chorus one of the dancers, while Ayu is high up on her ribbon with two other ribbons flowing behind her and looking pretty, starts dancing and doing backflips underneath her. This I really didn't get.... Ayu's perched on top of the arena, why would she feel the need to get a dancer to do some backflips below her?! During the extended outro (the guitar sounds great in the outro), Ayu does some more manoeuvers and one of them is one of her dancers picking Ayu up with their feet and holding her while they ascend on the ribbon. That's gotta be some amazing thigh and calf strength! As the song finishes, DJ 2YAN appears from the 'slide' opening and does a set, I was really getting into it suprisingly for an interlude. 10. Terminal This is my favourite song from Colours and was looking forward to it so much! Dancers wearing black pants and tops with neon-light wristbands appear and dance while the music is building up to Ayu's appearance. As Ayu sings the first few lines, she pops up in the middle of the main stage on a chair. She is wearin a thigh length black shiny dress with tinsel-like stuff hanging off on her and some shoulder pads. Ayu definitely sang this live, the echo was noticeably turned up. As a performance, it fell flat. I think this song really challenged Ayu as a performer. I love seeing Ayu performing because she has a strong stage presence, but she didn't for this song. As you know, Terminal has many bits where there are no vocals, for these bits, Ayu had no idea what to do! She just went to DJ 2YAN's booth and had sex with the booth.... it looked awkward, and she shouted "CMON" and "YEAH" and "WOOO" during the music bits which sounded annoying with the echo turned up, and distracted from the music. The bass pumping throughout the arena was the best thing about this performance. It could have been executed better if Ayu had some choreography during the music bits instead of walking around and looking clueless like Britney Spears in her last few concert tours. Also Terminal is quite a dark song... I wish this performance had more of a dark edge to it, like Ayu wearing a black goth/angle outfit or something. 11. Connected A big dome descends from the top of the stage with the silver man inside it, and Ayu joins him inside to perform all of Connected. The silver man is a bit pointless and distracting here.... Ayu is on her knees half the time clutching onto the silver man's thighs in the dome while singing the song... This performance was okay, don't think it was executed well, and hard to tell if it was live because of the vocal effects. The interlude is the silver man trying to take over the guitar and bass and Enrique and Yo-chan tell him to bugger off. You will see more of this pointless time-wasting interlude when its broadcast next month. 12. STEP you The intro to STEP you starts and I am LOSING MY SHIT. I love this song and was instantly hoping she does the FULL song and not a shortened version like at AT12. Ayu appears on a silver podium with a strippers pole with three female dancers. They are wearing black skin-tight suits that look like sexy policewoman uniforms, her dancers even have the police hats. Ayu looked FIERCE and SEXY, and the cherry on top was definitely her bright red lipstick which made her even sexier. Best outfit of the night for me by far. Four male dancers appear during the first chorus/second verse and they push the podium with Ayu and her dancers towards the front of the main stage. The rest is standard STEP you choreography. Some bits of the song were live, some of it, the choruses I suspect, probably had playback helping her out. 13. XOXO This song was 95%, if not 100% lipsynced. Ayu is looking fierce again and doing some pretty suggestive choreography with her male and female dancers! I love this song and I loved the outfit, great performance. I can look past the lipsyncing. It's not ideal, but I accept that it happens and that at least she puts on a good show. Costume change into the encore outfit. Something something interlude. 14. Lelio Lelio's intro starts and the 'slide' opens up and Ayu and her entourage of dancers jump out onto the stage "Jump out or stay, kimi no choice..." I am absolutely positive, that ALL of this song except the final chorus was lipsynched. It sounded the same on both nights, and during the final chorus, the volume of her vocals/microphone doubles and you can hear it's her real voice singing, and sounds completely different to the last 2.5 minutes. Ayu performs the same choreography as in the PV (probably that's why she is lipsyncing) and it's a good performance, although the choreography looks hilarious. 15. You & Me Throughout Lelio, Ayu inches to the centre stage before finishing up there, and then the music to You & Me starts and Yoyogi loses its shit as the song turns into a massive singalong and the crowd's energy is taken to another high. The usual You & Me fare, this song is the new staple for sure now. Sang live. 16. Bold & Delicious I love this song so much but I don't like the new arrangement. My favourite performance of this song was from CDL 05-06 (one of my fav Ayu performances ever) and no other B&D performance will ever come close to that. Pretty standard B&D performance, really fun as always! This was sang live. 17. NOW & 4EVA The lights dim after B&D comes to an energetic finish for a few seconds, and then the intro to NOW & 4EVA starts. This song does not need dancers, but of course they are here! I just ignored them the entire performance. Vocally it was pretty good, I felt Ayu's energy (despite the overacting of looking sad and depressed for the first half), a bit more shouting than required, maybe because she was tired and it is the main set's "finale". Others have said this song seemed out place, which is true after looking at all the songs preceding it, and she does it in the same outfit too. She could have changed into something different.... What I loved about this performance, and why I reckon it's a great outro, is because of the outro. "Ooooo La La La La La........ Let me love you forever" is such a great ending to this show. Definitely loved the outro! 18. Boys & Girls The curtains went down. I was fully preparing myself for the final song, FTL, and then the CD intro to Boys & Girls started and I was losing my shitttttt. The curtains go up and there is Ayu in the same outfit with all her dancers and she shouts out "CMON YOYOGI" before jumping into the first chorus of B&G. As usual, say what you will about B&G and it being done to death, but the fans love it, they love the singalong. Ayu and her dancers threw some balls and I was close to catching them twice being in the sixth row. 19. July 1st Well after adding B&G to the setlist, what else was she going to do? I had every thought that the next song was evolution, but then the intro to July 1st starts and this is where I went the most nuts. I love this song (I know, I say this a lot) and have never heard it live. And it just makes so much sense because it's actually the start of July. I loved singing along to this song, Ayu was energetic as always, standard July 1st performance, and finishes off with a round of 'Arigatou gozaimashitas' before the curtains go down again. 20. Feel the love Now I was positive the next song would be FTL! The music starts like 10 seconds after the curtains go down, and the curtains go back up almost immediately. Really fun FTL performance, started off with streamers being popped into the crowd, I picked up a few! Ayu was in the same outfit but with a gold shiny cap on. It had elements of one of the FTL remixes throughout the song. Before the final chorus, Ayu introduces her dancers at the centre stage, when she is done, she lets out another "IKUZE YOYOGI" and counts herself into the final chorus of FTL and the rain appears again! Ayu and her dancers get absolutely soaking wet in the final chorus and look like they are having so much fun together. During the outro they run back to the main stage and give another round of 'Arigatou gozaimashitas' and the curtains go down. The end. So overall, great show, Ayu tried some new things and did well in some bits, some others could have had better execution. I've been to CDL 07-08, 10-11 and 11-12. Vocally she sounded much better than 10-11, but of course not as good as 07-08. I loved that she had all her upbeat dance songs in a row. That, was mega fun! |
Got a ticket in the stands, row 2 West A5 for tomorrow. How screwed am I? :-P
|
SHE SANG BOYS & GIRL AND JULY 1ST TODAY AS WELL!!
I'll say more when I get home, but I had to share this! I'm so happy :D |
Thank you for the review!!
I'm so glad You & Me became a staple, I LOVE this song so much! |
^Feel the love feels like it's going to become a staple song that she's going to perform at every concert too.
|
Just came back!
I loved it! My first time also! I still can't believe I just attended one of her concerts! The place was packed!!! FULL FULL FULL!!! I love this bitch even more after this! :D |
Love this concert very much! I believe she didn't lip sync in this concert but there's backup voice with some songs.
The concert was pretty much filled and I was so hyped during the concert that I broke my fan =.=" gotta get another 1 for tmr's final! Anybody going tmr too? |
So I just came back home from today's concert :D
I'm not gonna make a full review of every song as I'm extra tired now (I woke up at 4:30 in the morning thanks to the World Cup) and there are other reviews here already, so I'm just gonna make some comments. I'll put it in a spoiler in case someone is avoiding comments about the concert ^^ Spoiler:
|
Thanks HilaryDuffFanboy and pimenta for your both reviews ! It burnt my heart now ! I was really hypnotic :))

The seats were so far from the stage that we were glad that we had brought a pair of binoculars. Yesterday we had seats in section E second floor, row 9 and we had a good view of the stage, but the sound was distorted in the high end a hissing like white noise so we had to improvise earplugs from tissues to eliminate that (the high end of the audio range bounces of the ceiling creating the hiss, the low end gets absorbed by the audio blankets they have hung along the back wall). Enjoy the show! |

Thank u so much for all the updates. i kinda felt bad cuz we didn't have B&g and July 1st back in Ngoya Show! But i'm happy cuz atleast i have a feeling they'll be included too in the dvd. Anyway, seeing all the photos taken inside Yoyogi, i just realizes how Big the difference between Yoyogi and NihonGaishi. LOL The center stage of the NGO show is literally on the center but in Yoyogi, there's still so much space ;))
how early can we expect for the dvd release of this concert! Its one of a kind omg |
Hopefully soon. For start we will get wowow broadcast in August yay

Can't wait for tonight's show. I would love for Naoya to show up. And for Ayu to add Merry-go-round and have Verbal pop out again. Though I don't expect the latter to happen haha.

ughhh. Ayu, please give PRAY just one live❤️❤️
