Humming 7/4 was added to the setlist in Hiroshima some time in May after everywhere nowhere, I believe. And Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ now has a place after For My Dear.. according the the 7/9 concert.

In Hiroshima, Ayu sang a song is born after MY ALL and didn't perform Curtain call or For My Dear..

From Maikaru:
In Hiroshima, A Song is Born, specially for Hiroshima.
The first day seemed to be sung with all instrumentals,
And second day, she cut Curtain Call and For my dear,
and sang a song is born just acapella.

This comes from MANY reports in mixi~
And in a side note, Maro sang a song in one of the dates in the encore~
I dont know how long the song was~ but he sung!
And people said he could sing good~

From mixi from Huaka:
Started Rule from the substage.
It's like last year's Asia Tour. Very flashy.
Ayu looks like she lost weight, but was very cute.
She cried during Days, and sang from her chest (I'm guessing her hand to her chest).
Ayu was like a kid during Next Level. Erm... looked very kiddy? No idea.
(There's something about Super Mario. She looked like Super Mario? Had a vibe of it?)
She was amazing (you know the kami-kanji god-like) and wore X-Men like sunglasses.
The new dancers were very nervous.
The costumers were very much like the Next Level jacket/booklet.
She also had a cheerleader like outfit?
Stage was simple, cried during Curtain call.
Ayu was on a radio interview talking about this year's live up until now is very different. Or it's going to be very different from now on or something like that. (the mixi member commented how she used all 14 tracks for the tour, maybe that's it?)
The beginning when she sang Rule was super cool, and she got goosebumps (audience member).
The new dancers also joined in on the My All dance.
There was no signed balls this time.
She danced during Sparkle (the no no no parts), but since it was the first day it was a bit clumsy?
During the time when they were doing My All and Shu-ya came out from the back, this mixi member yelled out super loud "Shu-ya you're terrible!" and "DISAPPEAR!"
Lots of people feel that while the setlist was good it wasn't enough.
When she sang In the Corner, Everywhere Nowhere, Hope or Pain, she wore a pink dress with a necktie that was similar to the PCDL one.
MC was very short.
She missed her lyrics or the music during Rule, so she sort of cried, and there were like 2 explosions. (The fire things)
People say that her costumes are very similar to previous tours.
There was some sort of electrical/technical failure for the opening movie.
The setlist/whole thing was sloppy but this mixi member's most memorable performance was In the Corner because the dance was so cool, Signal because it broke back a lot of memories, Everywhere Nowhere because of the lyrics love is not an illusion, and your dreams will come true, the light of your hopes/wishes will shine through, and Hope or Pain because it's one of her favorites and she was so happy she sang it.
They all think she sang the old songs because she did it for the people who didn't go [to the PCDL] and wanted to hear them.
Explosions for Rule and Identity.
The use of the screens was super extravagent.
There was silver tape (ribbons), so it was very pretty and colorful.
EnergizE costume was super cute.
Okay so the kiddy thing I mentioned earlier they keep saying "aka-chan" so baby Ayu?


From SunshineSlayer:
There was apparently several problems in the concert; some comments about the concert not being ready or something along those lines.

Apparently the big white dress got caught on something while she was walking.

There was some kind of problem with Rule as truehappiness mentioned.

There was no sound for part of Rollin'.

Some kind of problem with the lights and sound synchronization.

From tokyoxjapanxfan:
Quote:

the only part that I noticed being messed up was that rollin' didnt have her mic on for a small part at the beginning, but that's just what i noticed.

during bridge to the sky, there was a slideshow of ayu going from now all the way back to when she was a baby! never before seen picture of her as a teenager and child! i cried a little. hahahah

the mario part was the little movie before energize, the male dancers had baseball uniforms on and the girls were cheerleaders.

when she sang from her chest during days, it means it was a really deep and powerful voice. it was really strong

im tired so this is all i have to say for now. hahaha

SEASONS? HEAVEN? Moments? BEAUTIFUL FIGHTERS?
Trust?
2ch, stop messing with my head. -blank-


People are supposing that GREEN is opening the show. vogue and Rule are also open for debate... seems like it's leaning towards GREEN though. Curtain call's also being brought up.. rain and an umbrella.. WOW someone mentioned t2m as the first song. LOL.

Some heard walking proud.. maybe?

A Song is born
As everyone left the stage, a spotlight was left on Ayu. This was her second day performing for the Hiroshima audience, and she told the crowd how after her performance the day before, she visited the A-bomb Dome. She thought everyone was really strong and great for not giving up even after such a tragedy. She also acknowledged that her voice got worse and worse as the show went on, which is why she reluctantly cut out the ballads in her set list for the encore. However, she wouldn't be able to forgive herself if she ended the concert like this, so she gave a heartfelt performance of A Song is born a cappella. Her voice wasn't perfect, but it was a genuine "thank you" and hope for peace.
I enjoyed reading this portion.. -sigh-

It's weird reading the perspective of a.. not really big Ayu fan.. sort of.

MissElin_ 13th June 2009 09:34 AM

^Yeah that was really pretty!

jiarongisme 13th June 2009 11:13 AM

NOOO! Curtain call IS REMOVED!! ;_; Just when the review of the performance sounds so awesome.

But oh well, the part for A Song is born is mentioned sounds pretty awesome!

MissElin_ 13th June 2009 11:17 AM

^But it was just for Hiroshima I think. To honuor them with A Song is Born.

Mami-chan 13th June 2009 04:05 PM

majrakun: the second report it's not Spanish, it's Italian.
It's my report *^___^*

majrakun 13th June 2009 04:11 PM

Oh, sorry! D: I'm not really familiar with the laguages, so I couldn't differentiate. ^^;; Well, hope you don't mind your link posted here!

All the songs are there now. She wasn't feeling up to it vocally on the 17th, so they were taken out [and a song is born was performed].

jbrat2219 13th June 2009 07:41 PM

Cool, new thread. I hope A song is born isn't part of the DVD tracklist x_x...

noidea 13th June 2009 07:46 PM

^ dito, the song is boring,sure good meaning, but so boring o.0

njanjayrp 13th June 2009 10:34 PM

a song is born should definitely be on the DVD, Curtain call will most likely be there. However if I were to chose between the two, Curtain call stands no chance to a masterpiece such as a song is born is.

Wow, she changed the evolution outfit again! I like the hair too! I wonder how many changes will that outfit go through, but I REALLY prefer this one! <3 The LnH outfit is getting hotter with every picture =___=

And there seems to be something different about this year's encore outfit...must be the collars. It's not round. XD

I think this was the original outfit.

jbrat2219 14th June 2009 02:07 AM

Love the change in hair for the sparkly outfit :)

Ayumi27 14th June 2009 02:09 AM

Thanks!
Well, the first wasn't that bad either... She really should have changed the purple Sparkle to the shiny silver one, and left evolution with the original outfit

Dang I really liked the old (non-corsette) evolution costume.

polka-dot-jewel 14th June 2009 06:05 AM

I'm pretty sure Humming 7/4 is officially part of the setlist. It's been mentioned in all the reports since the Yokohama show in May (it's been mentioned in the Yokohama concerts, the Hiroshima concerts, and the Hokkaido concerts).

I love her new hair for the silver outfit =D

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER AGAIN IN CONCERT IN A WEEK!!! lol

waterballoon 14th June 2009 06:24 AM

Her hair looks so fine in a ponytail in evolution/SIGNAL!

freedreamer 14th June 2009 07:50 AM

I like the ponytail hair!!! very reminiscent of Sparkle's PV though that segment aint Sparkle.

She modified the silver bling costume to short sleeves too right?

Aderianu 14th June 2009 08:06 AM

I like her new hairstyle for evolution

tokyoxjapanxfan 14th June 2009 09:54 AM

the ponytail looks really great :D

Hydeki 14th June 2009 10:26 AM

Hoy many times has she changed the evolution/signal costume? I liked the old outfit. While I was taking a look at the photos and saw the sparkling silver jacket I almost jumped of happiness thinking that that is the new of Sparkle...But after a few photos the Sparkle outfit (and that awful wig) appeared T_T.

EDIT: Thank you Andrenekoi :)

Andrenekoi 14th June 2009 10:28 AM

She only changed it once

Diana 14th June 2009 11:10 AM

I don't want to spoil the concert too much :D From what I heard Sparkle doesn't sound bad. Because of computerized voice I thought it would be bad so I can't wait :D
And I don't like this year's logo, but I LOVE her black Team Message shirt!! I want it ._.
Thanx for pics~

love in music 14th June 2009 11:38 AM

like everyone said i love her new hairstyle! it looks great like that. she is so so cute in those pics, she looks like she's having a blast. i just wish i could be there to see her.

!Lawi! 14th June 2009 12:47 PM

Yeah, this new hairstyle make the outfit better ! I wish I could see her in real T_T

Anyways, yeah, the DVD prolly won't be released until February 2010 :(

ALfromHELLSING 15th June 2009 10:42 AM

^Until February!? No way! >_< It's just too bad to be true...

zyoeru 15th June 2009 11:01 AM

^ That way your wallet can rest. ;)

Batera 15th June 2009 01:50 PM

But I think that at the end of this year they will broadcast the TV version of the tour, just like they did with Asia Tour 2008 last year.

Yukitora 15th June 2009 02:11 PM

^but even so we'll only get half the songs.

better than nothing

polka-dot-jewel 15th June 2009 03:46 PM

We might not even get a TV version... before AT08, the last TV version of a tour we got was A MUSEUM, and I think that was shown in 2004.

And who knows when we'll get the DVD. It took 2-3 months for AT08 to come out on DVD, and it took 9 months for AT07 to come out on DVD. And because the tour ends in October, we most likely won't get the DVD until 2010, unless she releases it around Christmas =)

jbrat2219 15th June 2009 06:32 PM

Do they upload the concerts onto the internet for all (of Japan probably) to watch? I know they do that with American artists sometimes on MSN.

polka-dot-jewel 15th June 2009 07:42 PM

I can't find the link for it, but MSN JP has videos from all of Ayu's concerts. They're not full concerts but usually it's 1-2 videos per concert, and I know I've been able to watch them (and I live outside of Japan).

noidea 15th June 2009 07:50 PM

yeah, i know they had mirrorcle world AT08 dvd version last year a few weeks before dvd release and i think green at pcdl 0809 dvd was from there as well, right?

jbrat2219 15th June 2009 08:36 PM

Awww, but not full concerts? That's a shame D:

I know I saw a Beyonce and B.Spears concert in full on MSN back in the day.

dreamland2.0 15th June 2009 08:54 PM

Ah! I really hope they do decide to broadcast even a few performances!!
It's so hard to wait so long!!

polka-dot-jewel 15th June 2009 09:22 PM

The big news networks seem to always show whatever Ayu's doing while she's in Tokyo (well, the bigger events, like book signings and concerts and such), so maybe we'll see some videos from the concerts this week.

truehappiness 15th June 2009 09:32 PM

Generally, we see clips of the tour.. at the end of the tour. Meaning we might have to wait until October!

BUT, I believe last time, the faux finale aka the last one at Yoyogi was covered before the one in Taiwan, so.. who knows! She keeps doing this "1st / 2nd leg" thing.

Ayumiko 15th June 2009 09:48 PM

There's only 2 days in between the last osaka show on July 29th before the first a-nation date on August 1st...I wonder if ayu will just redo some of her tour performances for a-nation...

truehappiness 15th June 2009 09:53 PM

But there's the few weeks before that show where it would've been fine had they not had to cancel the Osaka shows.

She'll probably have the usual summer songs + audience songs + a new song. Though a-nation '07 and '08 kinda had tour performances if you count 1 LOVE / until that Day.. and Mirrorcle World.

But I consider those 'previews' of what's to come when people see the DVD.. or in this case, see the October shows.

http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/1041/gappu.png

Notice the gap.

Ayumiko 15th June 2009 11:24 PM

ah now I notice the gap...lol hmm...I think it depends on when the new single will be out...she might be busy aside from a-nation rehearsals during those weeks for the new single related activities.

Well, they probably covered the final shows at Yoyogi last year because those were the last shows in Japan for AT08. But since these aren't the last shows in Japan, who knows. I wouldn't be surprised if we see clips from either the shows in Tokyo or any of the ones in July, though. *shrugs*

truehappiness 15th June 2009 11:52 PM

Well, people weren't sure if she was going to make Yoyogi or Taiwan the DVD.. but I guess we got confirmation once we know the DVD was coming in January, haha.

polka-dot-jewel 16th June 2009 12:37 AM

lol That is true. All the shows so far seemed to have a few special moments, but it'll probably be on the final Osaka, Fukuoka, or Yoyogi shows that make it onto the DVD. (If tradition follows, it'll be the final Yoyogi one, though.)

BluishDays 16th June 2009 06:59 AM

Thanks for the videos :) Looks like another worthy concert of owning :D

freedreamer 16th June 2009 07:38 AM

IF! the single is out on 5th Aug...then we can expect some announcement next week since its 6 weeks before. (considering her Osaka concert is on a wednesday and not weekend)..

im expecting a 5th AUg or 12th Aug release actually...it cant be that late for a summer single right???

MissElin_ 16th June 2009 11:02 PM

^I'm still keeping my hopes up for a late summer single!!! Would be total awesomeness!

polka-dot-jewel 17th June 2009 12:17 AM

Well, they announced "Rule/Sparkle" 25 days before it was supposed to come out, and "GREEN/Days" two months before it was supposed to come out... so I think we'll be receiving an announcement about a new single any day now =D

emikoishida 17th June 2009 02:31 AM

I don't know. Something tells me it'll be in early September. Like Yuna Ito's Miss You. That was a summer single but it came out on Sep 3, 2008.

Deep snow 17th June 2009 01:58 PM

how's her voice in the tour so far? the NEXT LEVEL video preview displayed a rather...weak voice of hers, similar to that in CDL 0708.
btw thanks for the videos! they're great, especially the Bridge to the sky one!

truehappiness 17th June 2009 06:05 PM

Read TakaSama's review. Basically, her vocal right now is the best it can be. Better than the DVD versions of AT07/AT08.

TakaSama 18th June 2009 01:31 AM

^ Exactly! But on the other hand, NEXT LEVEL was a down point in the concert for her vocally. Probably the combination of being at the end of the main set with floating in the air in that chair degraded the quality of her singing during that song, but who knows. Ayu's vocals can wildly vary within one song, let alone from song to song.

My main concern is that by the time she does her "DVD" performance, whenever it may be, her vocals might be shot from all of the performing.

[EDIT] However, I have to say, NOTHING in the concert I saw was as bad as CDL 07-08!

zyoeru 18th June 2009 01:55 AM

^ That's fantastic. I think that it's natural for the last song to be iffy vocally. I hope she has time to rest before the DVD concert. :P

CDL07-08 had a lot of weird circumstances.. the news of her lost friend, her lost ear, and the lack of sleep [2-3 hours?] for that set of two days or so.. oi.
