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

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?

You always make the best thread starters. Heh. Thanks for all this neat info! I hope she performs something or changes something for the last bit of her tour. I want to buy the DVD!

rakeru 5th October 2009 06:38 AM

i keep wondering why there were costume changes partially through the tour...

zyoeru 5th October 2009 06:42 AM

^ I never get that either, maybe it's cuz Ayu changes her mind or maybe one of the outfits gets torn/damaged?

Do you think you can check mixi for changes?

2ch isn't really as reliable, but I've seen someone named AYUCREA talking about small changes.

Quote:

AUDIENCEのところでいきなりsunriseきたから焦ったなw
てっきりMC明けかと思ってたけどsunsetとかぶらないようにしたのかな
やっぱみんなでタオル回したら盛り上がるなw
フォーマイは聞いててちょっと苦しいときがあるけどsunsetは歌いやすいんだろうね、安心して聞いてい られる感じ
セトリ以外にも変更点がいくらかあって
identityでペコ、プリンセスの衣装がコートになってたりw
In The Cornerに至っては女子ダンサーが照明持ってたり男子ダンサーは白い仮面つけたりステッキの代わりに蛍 光管みたいなの
持ってたりもはや別の演出になってたw
NEXT LEVELでは椅子の後ろに羽がついてて最後にダンサーがその羽を使って扇いだりしてた
今回のツアーは公演ごとに変更点があるから始めのほうに見た人が今見たらかなり違った印象を受 けるだろうな
Quote:

I think there were planning issues or something. They probably had less time than usual to make this concert since the album technically wasn't complete until later than usual. I mean, the album came out a week or so before the tour began! That's cutting it pretty close if you ask me. So they recycled some outfits for the time being while Akira Noda worked on new outfits, possibly. The first show had a few issues from what I can recall...

zyoeru 5th October 2009 06:46 AM

Something about wings on the NEXT LEVEL chair and the dancers using wings...? :S
And something about using glo-sticks in In The Corner... LOL

...Maybe.

polka-dot-jewel 5th October 2009 06:57 AM

Apparently, a LOT of people were screaming during "Curtain call", and the mixi members who talked about it kept quiet, because it's a ballad.

She didn't sing Present, nor did they sing "Happy Birthday" to Ayu again. I think the video of those were shown, but I'm not too sure.

The people who went to the past two shows were discussing how great she sounded and how great the show was, though =D

maze 5th October 2009 07:01 AM

^ I thought "Present" would be fixed in the setlist :(

waterballoon 5th October 2009 07:11 AM

Cool so she's sounding great! XD And wings on the NEXT LEVEL chair... wow

It was more of a special surprise for her birthday... much like how a song is born was stuck at the end of the Hiroshima Show IIRC.

MissElin_ 5th October 2009 08:06 AM

Aw too bad. I really would love to hear Present live!

Thx for the new thread!

that's great to hear!
so, what performances are you guys looking forward to seeing the most? i just reread some reviews and i'm definitely looking forward to identity, rollin', LOVE 'n' HATE, Rule, and Sparkle the most, the descriptions made them sound amaazing.

Andrenekoi 5th October 2009 08:27 AM

^rollin'~sparkle!

waterballoon 5th October 2009 08:28 AM

I'm looking forward to

Rule, EnergizE, LOVE 'n' HATE, Days, rollin'/Sparkle and NEXT LEVEL... also Curtain call. omg is that the whole tour? XD

love in music 5th October 2009 10:55 AM

new rollin' pic? i found it at YAJ

i'm really looking forward to identity, rollin', Sparkle, NEXT LEVEL and Curtain call :heart:heart

polka-dot-jewel 5th October 2009 03:00 PM

@ identity - That pic could be from one of the new shows, but the outfit is the same as from the first leg, heh. Same crazy wig and all...

In all honesty, I know some people dislike the wig and some of the outfits, but you forget about it when watching the performances, esp. in the ballads section. Like with the pic identity posted, in rollin', you're actually dancing half the time (or trying to learn the dance they're doing), and then in Sparkle, you're getting told by Ayu to keep singing "NO NO NO" hahaha.

I just can't wait to watch the concert again (or at least see clips). Goodness knows I want to go back to the final shows, but I'm thankful I already went to the last two Tokyo shows in June =)

ayumisrael 5th October 2009 03:05 PM

Yep ayu looks fierce in rollin', Sparkle outfit, like a club glitzer.
That wig grew on me, as long as it's only in those kind of songs.

aloopy 5th October 2009 03:08 PM

I'm looking forward to see GREEN

it's my favorite NEXT LEVEL song and she did a great job @ PCDL. so i wonder how she pulled it off this time. especially with the big dress.. i just can't see how she would make that one work lol..
so yeah i wanna see GREEN the most :yes

I see :(

and OMG.. I want to see the whole concert so bad 'cause it looks much better than 2007/2008 ones, IMO

I want to see especially LOVE 'n' HATE/identity performances! she looks absolutely HOT in that outfit :lech and I love LOVE 'n' HATE so much (one of my faves of next level album)

SURREAL__RAINBOW 5th October 2009 03:32 PM

I want the DVD NOW! xD

I hope I won't be disappointed.

But I'm especially looking forward to Rule and rollin'~Sparkle.

amorphose 5th October 2009 05:46 PM

Wait... is she still touring? I thought it was over in June or July. XDD

Yeah. But for some reason, the tour had four dates after a-nation '09...

Perhaps she wanted the final performance for DVD to have a thinner Ayu like last year?

SunshineSlayer 5th October 2009 07:15 PM

^ Yeah, it's kind of weird why she would randomly add 4 dates in October.

jbrat2219 5th October 2009 07:39 PM

I want to see the whole tour! I hope it comes out on DVD either by Christmas or my birthday because I can't afford any jpop stuff right now ;-; I blew all my money on her anniversary and now I'm starting to feel it...

ville 5th October 2009 08:14 PM

so when the DVD is going to be released ?
or is it announced yet ? :pp

Well, she did do all of a-nation this year (that lasted all of August), so she would use July to prep for a-nation and Sunrise / Sunset (as well as perform additional AT09 shows), and then September to travel, take a bit of a break, and then prep for the final four shows of AT09.

so yeah i wanna see GREEN the most :yes

lol I still wonder why she put GREEN where she put it. It probably has something to do with the lyrics, but I never thought of it to fit into the ballads portion of a concert. Haha.

Emperatriz Ayumi 6th October 2009 02:33 AM

Thanks for the new pictures!!

love in music 6th October 2009 02:36 AM

yeah, i think her vocals live for GREEN > her vocals in the song, so i'm excited for that too. i hope there are no songs she "butchers" at AT09 though.. like Dearest @ AT08.

dreamland2.0 6th October 2009 02:46 AM

^Other than a few "crowd pumping" songs, she mainly sings current songs, so perhaps her vocals will be stronger. Usually it's her older songs she can't sing very well because of the high notes.

I really can't wait to see SIGNAL though! I love that song!

futureLOVE 6th October 2009 04:31 AM

off topic but where did those pics in the top of your sig come from teddbear?

truehappiness 6th October 2009 05:17 AM

Those photos are from a diary entry she posted a week or two ago from photos in Las Vegas.

I dunno, she didn't really butcher that.. Though songs like Ladies Night should never be performed EVER. (It's just not made to be live)

I think if they didn't do that weird thing with her voice like on the CD, Ladies Night (or any other song with the same thing) would sound better life. If she just sang them all straight out.

actually i'd take a thousand more Ladies night performances than another performance like that one. rly hated it. like someone said, it sounded like she was singing into a fan. i'm not too worried about her voice at AT09 though, i think she is starting to take better control of her vibrato.

Celaphorce 6th October 2009 06:02 AM

Her promotional shirts are cute, but the overalls ruined the outfit...bleh!

polka-dot-jewel 6th October 2009 06:04 AM

@zyoeru - rollin' is AMAZING. I think that'll definitely be a very favorited performance, the way Ayu goofs around stage and the dances and stuff.

I can't think of any butchered performances... I think that's why she took out SURREAL. I personally love that song and was upset that it wasn't included in this years setlist, I can understand why it was taken it. (It hasn't sounded so great live since AT05, but AT07 and AT08's perfs sounded okay. CDL07'08's perf sounded real bad, imo.) Of course, I know people hate the way Ayu sings Boys&Girls (yes, it's more of a cheer than anything, but w/e) so some people will probably call that "butchered", heh. :P

zyoeru 6th October 2009 06:13 AM

I think the only song I had trouble with vocals-wise was Dearest at AT08, it was awful, but even though it was awful I think it's very touching in a way because you can tell she's singing with all her heart.
But I've never had a problem with Ladies Night... :shrug

truehappiness 6th October 2009 06:17 AM

Ladies Night just doesn't sound good. It's that weird voice manipulation she does. Unlike Fly high where it's just a rap that's for, it's for like, the whole song.

jbrat2219 6th October 2009 06:21 AM

^ Right, so she should just not do the voice manipulator and she'll be fine. Or just do the ~another night~ version. That would be hot! :luv2

Well, there's also another part of the performance that's rather lacking live..

When she sings the chorus, it's like.. chopped up. Like Ladies Ni-i-i-iya-iii-iya-i-i-ii-ight. It just doesn't feel the same, haha.

-listening to the studio version vs. CDL07-08's live version-

(Oh, Peco and Princess during the 'ahhh ahhhhh' portions of the verses... ehhhh..)

maze 6th October 2009 07:24 AM

question: Ayu performed Humming 7/4 on 3th and 4th october concerts?
because the setlist that truehappiness posted on the first post doesn't include this song, but I just saw a review from 10/03 concert on ayuchina, and it mentions Humming 7/4 as part of the setlist (in the encore obviously)

so I don't know.. does anyone know about it?

yeah same here.. just the part that bugs me about Ladies Night is she doesn't sing the "AHHH AHHH" part, which is my favorite part in the song~

but anyway, i hope for rollin' she won't use that cutesy voice in the beginning that you can hear from that one rip from one of the concerts. i wonder if that's just how she sings it live though?

Bubble tea is delicious. I wonder if this one is just milk tea though... she could afford to have a range of flavors. :D

this is going for +$400USD at YAJ :thud

and why are the new t-shirts cost 18900Y on mu-mo?? _--_

i like the black and pink strap though

dreamland2.0 6th October 2009 07:41 PM

^That's ridiculous! I wonder how big it is, because it looks like it would be a pain to put on a phone XD
And I think the t-shirts are more expensive now because they have jewels on them now.

What's this nonsense? For My Dear... >>>>>> Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~. Seriously.

I don't like either too much... But I'd rather listen to Sunset.

I remeber in Japan I had Bubble Tea, but it wasn't actually a tea, it was strawberry milk! It was delicious!

zyoeru 6th October 2009 08:09 PM

I've never had bubble tea before. :(

I think I'd rather listen to her sing Sunset than For My Dear... atm.

JackieRos 6th October 2009 08:47 PM

i really love the shirts and is so awesome that they selling
the TA goods

wait so that means everyone can get them on japan?
or they need an identification that they are TA members?

pchan1986 6th October 2009 09:10 PM

the expensive straps, we can get the silver and black one on mu-mo but the TA colored one is limited to TA members only

lyrically yeah, but vocally FMD has always been a mess of a song imo. and Sunset suits her current voice now so she won't be shouting into the mic while trying to sing it. :)

I don't remember hearing anything about this being taken out... and it's been performed in the encore section (after the MC, if I remember correctly) ever since the Yokohama concerts.

YAJ is Yahoo Auctions Japan, NOT YesAsia.

And just for info, the TA strap is given away in lottery style, you had to apply for it. I donīt know yet if I got one, my stupid middleman doesnīt reply <.<

Crystal_Ageha 7th October 2009 04:36 PM

Oooh, I can't wait for this DVD!! I'm REALLY~ looking forward to hearing my favourites off the album: identity, Days, Sparkle, Rule and Curtain Call. :love:love:love But I'm also interested in hearing GREEN, since it has powerful vocals.

wow. the tour sure is long. glad to see Sunrise on the main list. hope she's not screaming too much when singing it.
I wish she'd change that NEXT LEVEL outfit, I'm not too cozy seeing that blazer

polka-dot-jewel 8th October 2009 05:46 AM

Last year's tour was longer, though this year's tour has more dates. Last year's tour was 6 months long (April-June, Septemer-November), while this year's tour was only 5 months long (April-July, October).

With Ayu really focusing on touring these past couple of years, I really wonder how next year's tour will be. =D

Ayumiko 8th October 2009 08:54 AM

I was hoping she would change at least one of the outfits...but if those pics are from the recent concerts, then that's kinda disappointing.

zyoeru 8th October 2009 09:21 AM

I'm not too bothered she hasn't changed much, I like the setlist/outfits, y'know. I'm still kinda sad she took out AUDIENCE and For My Dear..., but at least I love Sunrise and like Sunset. :P

MissElin_ 8th October 2009 11:26 AM

^AUDIENCE and FMD... is both much better songs. But it will be fine anyway. I was most eager that she would change her ugly ugly ugly ballad dress but no... Oh well...

Really really. It's just too much now. Geez. Part of me PV-AT07-a-nation'07-AT08 a-nation'08-Days PV-AT09-a-nation'09... Give me something new already. It was great under AT05 when all the boys got a little bigger roll in each song.

polka-dot-jewel 8th October 2009 02:36 PM

The pictures of them together are basically the same ones that have been posted throughout the tour - during a few songs, they're dancing together. During the MC, they're always teamed up. True, they're together A LOT, but they seem to get along really well, and they do work well together.

Glad to see all the outfits are still the same! =) It's such a huge and elaborate show, I didn't expect them to change much, if anything at all, heh.

Omg the ballad dresses just keep getting worse and worse x___x;;

I can't believe she would actually like those for real >_<

SunshineSlayer 8th October 2009 11:14 PM

^ I had the same reaction to them. I can't imagine looking at those and thinking "yeah those would be perfect!" lol. I pretty much just like the encore outfit and the two sparkly ones.

polka-dot-jewel 8th October 2009 11:35 PM

The dress actually looks a lot better up close... I know when I first saw pics of them back in April, I went, "OH GAWD THOSE ARE HORRENDOUS!" They're really sparkly, heh. Plus, you really don't care about them when you're watching the performances ;)

zoomzoom 8th October 2009 11:45 PM

I can live with the pink one, but the white one is really bad. Almost as bad as the AT06 Pride dress. It doesn't help she's sweating like crazy too, it looks so uncomfortable, which it probably is.

Ayu_Ready 9th October 2009 12:00 PM

shuya and Ayu... more rumors to expect x)

Oh yeah, the Pride outfit x___x And I thought that was a one-time thing. *sigh*

Her a-nation 09's dress was really pretty, she should've changed to that D:

keikeiaznqueen 9th October 2009 12:50 PM

Is it me or is Ayu looking really really buff in the new photos, mostly in the encore? Maybe it's that white top... and her chest looks weird, like it's hanging lower than usual...

Well, regardless, I look forward to the DVD! Ayu looks gorgeous is most of her other outfits.
