oh my god, this is the concert that made me hysterical just by looking at the tracklist of this concert
I hope this dvd concert released soon, hahahahaha OMG, I can not wait !!! **but unfortunately this is a countdown live, and this was recently ayu's costumes |
thank you for sharing.
-i agree the white dress is gorgeous. -the pink outfit is too much for her age -_- -the black looking corset outfit reminds me of game -the black dress is super cute -shiny black outfit reminds me of talkin' 2 myself AT2008 -encore shirt looks too big for her. that outfit and the cute teddy bear dont match very well. thats my opinion so far for the outfits! :) |

|
omg I love her red outfit *.*
|
about the cutesy dress, I prefer her going all over the top with the cute stuff instead of pretending that she can still do "cute". I bet she makes fun of herself and she knows it, plus, I dunno why but I just love how stupid-cute she pretends to look/be xD
|
The STEP you outfit..:no
But the Moments dress is pretty! And the red kimono! Somehow...her shorter hair....WAIT!!! are those cornrows?! |
omg a pink meido outfit D:!!!
overall she looks gorgeous and the white dress and the red kimono are my favourites :yes http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/6...countdownl.jpg LOL sorry I couldn't resist :roflmao |
Jesus Christ she just keeps going further and further down hill....My god her hair is a mess and the outfits are just atrocious and recycled. :( If her upcoming album follows her recent trend, it may be the first album I don't buy.
|
I'll just quote myself...

here we go to more complaining :no
anyways i love her hair specially with her braid! |
Quote:
But, what's wrong with the hair..? I think her hair's been one of the best parts of her career the past two years. XD (Well, except for the atrocious mishap the beginning of this year... I think you'll all remember what I mean. DDD: ) |
Quote:
I also think, that she needs to feel comfortable in the outfits she is wearing on stage. So, when she feels comfortable in these outfits then let her recycle the things (I personally don't think that the dresses are really recycled, but whatever!). It's not like they're the same all the time! For me, the most important things about Ayu's concerts are the songs and the performances and not the dresses she is wearing! |
I really loved her hair this time omg <3
|
Well, I only like the opening outfit and the Pride one... Yet the basis of a concert is not fashion, so the important thing is the amazing setlist she created this time, the apparent nice vocals in her performance, how she interacts with audience and care about them

YES! FOR THE PHOTOS WOOT!
|
I will never judge her outfits by looking at the pictures.
When the pictures of a-nation 08 and AT 09, I really thought like why her taste become so bad. All the outfits in the pictures seemed so weird and ugly. But when I watched the video, those outfits turned out to be very good ans stunning. So, I think that pictures which taken in not very good angle won't tell us how pretty the outfits. Only video can tell us XD |
Wow! I love her braids and the outfit accompanying it! Am loving the kimono too :D
And her teddy bear looks cute! Heh, cuter than the one years before :P |
Quote:
Hm, the only costume I didn't like was the alice in wonderland one. &I think her hair looks good! :D |
Hmm... there doesn't seem to be a lot of color in the outfits this time around. But I won't judge yet; seeing them in action is totally different from mere pictures.
|
the outfits are about the same as each other... Same colour scheme also.
I realised that ever since AT2008, ayu likes to wear pants for her concerts. I just wished that the costumes had more variety just like AT2005. And people, this is a CDL, dont expect costumes that WOW us. |
omg i love her black puffy dress :heart
and that ayu-tshirt totally sports the BEST FICTION t-shirt idea :laugh |
Wow, those outfit are so cool.
Ayu 's amazing! Thanks for the photos! |

By the way, I sort of like her hair at this time - but only when she does not tie it up, such as on the encore part... |
Quote:
WOW! FIRST TIME AND FINALLY AYU'S WEARING A SHIRT WITH HER PIC! THAT'S WHAT REALLY I LOVEEE :P |
I REALLY like all the outfits ... well lets count out the pink STEP you one. |

I agree with who said that she's probably making a little of fun of herself with the Alice in Wonderland outfit and not taking it too seriously. |
The tracklist is great, but these costumes are some of her worst I think. Some of them actually wouldn't be so bad if they didn't have an obnoxious hat or something. The best one is the white dress and that is something she has worn before. Also, a cage theme - again?!
Quote:
|
Hm, I don't like these outfits (minus the white one maybe).
And to be honest, her hair looks also really bad. She doesn't look good on those photos. I hope it will also look better in real life this time. I don't care if these outfits are recycled or not, but bad outfits are bad outfits. :shrug |
@_@ omg...her hair in alice wonderland costume....
at least, i love this cdl tracklist! awesome! |
I like the outfits so far just the Step You/EnergizE outfit has to grow on me

Do keep in mind that she tours and performs a lot, it would be way too complicated if she would have a different performance each time she performs STEP you or 1LOVE, of course she could always stand in one place and sing, but than people would complain that she is boring. I personally like the costumes she had for I am... and Pride the most. I think these are better than the majority of those she had on during the last two CDLs.

Oh and I think the white dress looks like it'll be my least fav, besides the STEP you one. Her ballad dresses have been sorta bad lately. The straight cut of the chest and the small area of the glitter, looks like a weird baby doll dress. |
^ I would much rather see her just stand and sing with the band other than seeing the same behind bars thing 500 times or the same cutesy act or the same Shuya flailing around in the background with Ayu's face looking like she is constipated. :) Songs like 1 Love and Until that Day etc should be more scaled down songs to begin with imo and who says she has to do the same type of performance (ie laying on the ground) for Because of You everytime? It just makes it seem way to choreographed and less genuine to me. Of course hopefully I'll see the concert and still enjoy it anyways.
|
^ I would rather her just stand and sing every once in a while, too. I don't get why so many people have a problem seeing SINGERS do nothing but SING, lol. >_>
^^ For those who don't know much about fashion (which, that's kinda me, but I do know this, lol), "baby doll" style clothes are actually a real thing. That's what Ayu's "maternity dress" there is, lol. But yes, I also agree that it's ugly. I think all clothes of this style are unflattering to any woman's body. >_< |
and when she's just standing there singing,people will start to complain its boring and so on =.="
|
^ People exaggerate too much though with the "just standing there singing" - of course she wouldn't just be standing there. :) Some of her best ever performances have been when it is just her and the band.
|
The costumes aren't too bad...
But honestly, the pink dress? I just know that's for the 'cutesy' part of the show. After AT08 I've just started to skip these parts as they really annoy me :/ Still, I'm sure the concert will be very entertaining :) |
Some more pics I don't think were posted
Spoiler:
lol the under part of the alice and wonderland dress is like a diaper, the dress isn't as bad as I originally thought seeing it up close (but still bad). I like the hair now too, she pulls it off better than BoA imo. |
I don't like the outfits. They look so tacky, and I'm used to tacky from Ayu's costumes nowadays, but these are just sooo bleh. And they have no color except that ugly pink thing. :/ Ayu can definitely do better.

but of course there will have people like it and dislike it.just hoping that ayu did not mess up with her vocal,thats all. |

that's why when i watch TA Limited Tour again i found it very nice and i just enjoy watching Ayu singing and not too many dancers in every corner on the stage :) |
Actually, I kind of like the Energize dress. ^^; It reminds me of Card Captor Sakura! Also, she looks really happy and her smile is really bright in those pictures... It's like she's letting the audience in on the joke. Kind of like when you put on dorky clothes and convince your friends to do it, too.
I usually don't agree with the people complaining... but I have to agree about the bars. I haven't seen the CDL yet, so I cant say whether or not it was pulled off well but it's true that I'm getting a little tired of them. I really like that time when she used her chair to smash through them, and I thought that was really cool, but I feel like she could do some of the performances without the bars. It's just a prop, after all. (Though, I don't think it can make or break the performance, as her vocals and general stage presence are more important.) The Pride dress looks really cute, too! And the momentum one, as well. I really can't wait to see all this in action! >3< |

Her pink outfit reminds me of CardCaptor Sakura >_>
Its a little bit off. The Pride costume is wow! Very gothic! The I Am... costume is kinda remind me of her remix album cover or the 2002 MTV Asia awards. |
Well. some performances already have a "fixed way" of performing. Like Rule must start with the acapella, 1 LOVE must have the cage.
It's ok to re-perform these songs. at the same time, it's kinda hard to think of another way to perform the same songs. |
^ Why "must" they though? Ayu performed 1 Love on CDTV without anything and overall I consider that the songs best performance. Sorry, but for me these setups are just getting way way too repetitive.
|
but CDTV and CDL is different type of performance.CDTV is not her own 'show' when CDL is her own show.this is why she's using more props and setup on her own show,IMO.
|
that's why i always questioned this, "why,why,and why Ayuuu,you didnt have to do the same thing always" maybe this what she call Classic as using the cage again *sigh* for the encore outfit,i like it,rockish style! seems that Ayu is making a joke with that card captor sakura outfit XDD
could someone tell me where is the future element in this CDL?? i still cant see it now ^ still waiting to watch this CDL anyone upload it pleassee.. |

It seens that CDLs are becoming fan oriented best of concerts and test drive for main tour performances...
I don`t really care as soon as she keep the main tours fresh... and besides at07 that was a best of tour and at08 my name`s women, she is managing to do that... |
^Even in the Arena tours though, all of them have extremely predictable patterns and themes and that didn't start occurring until the miss Understood tour till now. Actually reusing stage setups and costumes though seems to be mainly in CDLs and A-nation.
|
Ah kinda tired of the cage....she can be more creative....and if she wanted a cage...make it a bird cage then >_>
The STEP you dress...is really unflattering~ Why can't she do sexy+cute like STEP you during AT06.... The shoulder pads are kinda unflattering....it's not necessary, it only looks ok with an armor designed outfit like kiss o' kill during AT07 |
Well, after watching a lot of pop concerts... I don`t really mind the reusing of themes cuz every artist has his/hers favorite ones... Madonna has a latin part in almost every tour of her career, for example (damn La isla bonita xD)... x,x
Still, I would love if ayu stopped doing a entire new tour/album every year, cuz it make her themes get repetitive and old faster... Besides the fact that every tour of hers since at03-04 has the ballad part, the cute part, the sexy part, etc... I don`t think it`s that bad... i would love if she stopped the cute thing too, but japanese people loves it, so, it`s more a cultural thing |
Quote:
|
Yeah, she must just really want some songs to be performed that way every time. She should realize that some fans like variety and change, but, she's doing what she wants and we can't control her so whatever lol. I'll probably wind up loving the show anyway because although she has lost some of her creativity, she hasn't lost a bit of her stage presence.

and At08 cute part just looked coherent cuz she was singing earlier hits... That happened again with sparkle But I really don`t know what the hell was she thinking on at09... With you were/ballad and rule performances, to me, it seemed that ayu is considering to have a more mature image... something i would love to see her doing |
I blame the stage itself for some of the reusing. Pretty much she's been using the same stage every year since AT05, maybe CDL04-05, with roughly the same rig above it. So I'm guessing a really big part of the creative process of the tour is her sitting down with the main stage technician asking him "OK, I wanna do this, can we extend the runway a bit here, can we ad hydraulics here, can we run the levitation rail all the way down the runway" etc. The cage for example, it's always been there, in every single stage she's ever used, even if she didn't use it. All they do is add bars to the people lifter.
I've been quite impressed with some of the stuff her staff have managed to squeeze out of this stage skeleton. Of course that doesn't excuse her reused outfits, but seriously, she's been using the same clothing designer for how long? She really needs fresh people when it comes to that. |
You know, for those who've seen the concerts live, seeing the epic performances again live is fun. We all have to remember that it's NOT about us watching on our computer screen thousands of miles away, it's about the people in the stadium. And THEY seem entertained. That's all that matters to Ayu.
I personally don't give a damn whether something is rehashed or not, it's never going to be exactly the same. Some songs just worked really well one way, and seeing them another way would be weird. Plus, performing something the same way is a lot easier then learning a completely new performance everytime. With EVERYTHING she's doing, when does she have time to learn all completely new performances? I'd rather her do something she knows well, then try to learn something new and screw it up |

^ Then those must be the same couple of crazy people who don't like Stadium tour 2002 or Team Ayu Live 2003. :)

eh... i'm not giving an opinion BUT people can't really argue the longevity of her career as the reason for recycled outfits. it's not limited creativity. if other artists can do things that we consider amazing and new and creative (ex. gaga love or hate still catches our eye), this just proves there is always something new to do. in the same ayu, ayu does what she wants and if she wanted to do something jaw dropping i'm sure she could try
let's not forget how many times we saw dresses like the A COMPLETE one. fated during countdown, the calender cover, etc she prob goes through phases how many times have one of you worn something repeatedly because you liked it? |
Quote:
but i agree to this!! it`s becoming so routine. makes me =/ |
awesome outfit for pride
|
I dont know, I agree with whoever it was that said she needs a new designer. Start out fresh. Yes, I know it's supposed to be about the music, but do you know how DISTRACTING it is to watch the performance when they are wearing something you deem hideous? I thought the Pride outfit was ugly in AT06 and I skip that section every time even though I LOVE that song and she did perform it well in the tour, but I couldn't stand watching her in such an ugly get up. The outfits are more important than you could think.
I don't mind recycling performances themselves, or the ideas, but I think small changes can make a huge impact. Like the cage idea....use a different TYPE of cage. It can make a difference! I don't know, maybe my expectations are too high, but she is my favorite artist and I do expect a lot. It's unfair to say that she can't make me happy. If that were true, then I wouldn't listen to her in the first place ^_^. |

I actually loved the "reusing" in some parts, some songs just have signature choreographies, signature costumes or signature stage settings and I can't really picture them without, at this time where ayus vocals are everything but good she NEEDS to rely on theatrics at least a little and performing songs completely different every time would actually be a little annoying for me, for most songs just standing around won't work anymore
|
About the recylcling, I have to say, ayu herself is different, and it is the way ayu performs that gives us a whole new performance.
However, I think sometimes the way of her performance years ago seemed to be better than the present ones. For example, the I am... in 2002 was epic because of the combinition of music, costume, theme, video, choreography, and POWER. You could really tell how much power there was in her eyes, as well as vocals, that could convey the message of that song. But in this CDL, ayu chooses not to be as "cold or strong" as she was in the 2002 stage. Instead, she is focusing in just singing, which is not a bad thing, but the performance has, as a result, less essence. The same goes to the 1 LOVE performance. The AT07 performance was extremely sexy, because of costume, hair, make-up etc. This time, maybe the camera stays too far away from her, I cannot really see anything, just feel that the new performance in CDL is more fierce than sexy, due to her image of performance. But there are certain songs only the present ayu can do well. When I heard the RED LINE in the end, I feel very moved. I know ayu could not do this in 2001 or 2005, when it was either her summit of career or the mature period. Having gone through all of these, the present ayu know how to convey the message in RED LINE, so she is doing that impressively, which I like. So, if ayu choose to re-do her older classics, she should consider how she perform and convey the MESSAGE of the song in a good way, which gives her songs and tours life. |
Everything's all right except for the STEP you / EnergizE outfit which I hate :no
|
OK I'm glad to say that the video is better than the pictures for STEP you / EnergizE
|
i love her t shirt :cry
|
the orental dress looks really good on her, it suits her so much ^^
the alice in wonderland dress is cute but i think its a bit too young for her (no offence) the corset outfit is really cool, looks like game the black dress is pretty cool, reminds me of Pride at AT2006, and the music video "Ourselves" The white dress is beautiful.....thats all there is to say about that one the shiny outfit, its pretty good in my oppinion and the encore outfit, it doesnt do much good for her to be honest, cuz the shirt is a bit too big for her, to me it makes her look like she's put on a few pounds, but thats my thoughts on it. ^^ sorry! |
Thanks for the wonderful set of pics! Is it me or wad that I think ayu gained some weight?
|
Erh. Some of the costumes are kinda weird... Especially the "Alice in Wonderland" outfit, what the hell? I usually always like Ayu's costumes for the concerts, but this one is just BAD.
The other ones are okay. I haven't watched the whole concert yet, but the dress for the ballad section looks gorgeous! For once it's not horrible. The kimono/oriental outfit looks REALLY great and the corset looks good too. |
i can't wait to watch it on dvd
|
she seemed to have gained weight, she looks a lot rounder especially in momentum, humming 7/4 and encore
|
i`m really liking these outfits, maybe `cause of the darker, rock factor. nice.
|
I love the rock doll outfits this year *o*
