Oh man. It's a shame Ayu felt that she had to say something.:(
I love the message she is trying to convey though. Sadly, I do not think things will ever change. People will continue to be superficial. |
When I saw the photos on Twitter and read the comments I was like “really?”. That’s why I mentioned the situation here. Some people were even rude enough to tell her to her face to lose weight.
I find it stupid that a person needs to explain their body because some others won’t accept it as it is. Are you a fan of Ayu’s image or a fan of Ayu’s art? |
I remember she was shamed for her weight during "secret" era and when I look back at videos from this era... I can't believe she was considered fat. People truly anylise her too much.
|
what do you think, are we gonna get more dates or is this it?
|
I think she handled it really wisely and like the queen she is, it wasn't like "oh stop calling me fat I'm gonna cry" she did it very maturely and I admire her for that, on the other hand I'd love to personally punch in the face every one* that called her "fat".

I think we could get a 7 days special type thing perhaps. Or a LIMITED EDITION.
|
FYI she did mentioned of composing some songs yesterday and theres more surprise announcement is yet to announce as well.
i think new album is happening. |
^Composing as in, CREA composing??
Either way I think everybody's dying for a few new tracks here! |
During the LINE LIVE?
|
Did anyone record/download LINE live and instagram live?
I couldn't open the link for LINE live since LINE has been banned in Russia since last April. |

LOL, imagine having to apologize for looking like the way she does...What a world we live in. XDD Poor Ayu, though...
Man, I think she looks really attractive in that photo. The ponytail with her boots and jeans... <3 |

Just a heads-up: the use of the word "c*nt" is never, ever acceptable—under any circumstances. Let's try using a better term next time, guys.
Thanks! :thumbsup |

|
Just got in, stage is the ususal
|
i'm so excited for the setlist!
|
If it was a round stage again there would be a lot of complaints so that's good.:laugh
|
Whoever going to the show, enjoy and have fun... wait for the updates hehe ^^

NEXT LEVEL!!!!!
|
*-* NEXT LEVEL and (maybe even sung) ever free...
|
What about the arrangements?
|
So far it looks great, those are really good and safe songs but I'm so happy to see old gems such as ever free and NEXT LEVEL, evolution being performed alone without SURREAL is kinda a "new" thing so yay, also ASFXX and Mad World! :yes
|
I'M CRYING BECAUSE WE HAVE BRILLANTE *-*
|
This is a good setlist for an anniversary tour, I am quite surprised. I thought that it was going to be something similar to A Best Live or Cdl 2016 2017.

CURTAIN CALL! And given the fact this doesn't include Catcher In The Light & Diary (interludes) ever free WAS PROBABLY SUNG |
Show length: 2 hours and 22 minutes.
|
It would be kinda cool if she sings at least one song per album by the end of the concert. It would be really fitting for her 20th anniversary Tour
Right now it seem to be a good Setlist but nothing I would be really crazy about. |
Oh she won’t sing Diary? :(
|
It’s been a long time since we heard SURREAL by itself and not in a medley
|
I'm excited for some songs :)
Diary is unnecessary imo, but I'm interested in if/how the set list will change. It's not a long tour so it's possible it won't change much. |

I’m not crazy about A Song is Born being the final one tho... she got way more moving songs. |
Oh my my ever free!

|
^Agree, overall it's a great setlist but nothing really exciting besides ever free and NEXT LEVEL, but I'm pretty sure it was a fun show, hope to see it on DVD.

I didn't say I don't like it just that he was singing a duet with her but imo his vocals were not too present. I'm happy with the setlist. |
I'm actually a little surprised she didn't make use of any medleys
I know some people hate medleys, but 20 years is a lot of material It would have allowed for tons more ground to be covered Forgiveness, A song for xx, Born to be, ever free, Next level, Mad World, and Curtain call I'm most looking forward to. :) I'm excited to see it tomorrow~ |
Yes, I was there and can confirm that ever free was performed live! My heart literally skipped a beat the second she started singing it. It was so good and unexpected. It was super emotional I ended up crying through most of it.
|
Wow, ever free was sung live? i'm quite sad that i couldn't go, but oh well
I don't that she'll change the setlist that much. Maybe replace a couple of songs for the final, as usual |
I'm not excited at all by this setlist :(
I'm just happy for B&D, Born to Be, Mad World and ever free... |
Quote:
I love her recent voice more so to have a recording of ever free LIVE in her current voice is... a dream come true... (i dare you to axe, it Ayu) |
Really nice setlist, surprised by NEXT LEVEL, Curtain call... and 1000 times more by ever free.
|
Done with the show! It is good if this is a CDL, but this is the 20th Anniversary!
I don’t see much effort however i still love her and will go on forever! *love* |
Quote:
|
Yea, she totally struggles to sell these days, she should really stop... Her pride will ruin her... god... *coughs*
Well, people and certain members here have been exaggerating for years when she's doing just fine. https://www.instagram.com/p/BhRS7d9l...82%86%E3%81%BF (ik they didn't use 2nd lvl but you know) |
Guys she freaking sang ever free live and it was amazing. I didn’t expect it at all. It sounded a lot like her old voice, she was very good but also more mature. Did it perfectly. I cried like a baby! She burst in tears just after the first part, right at the end of the first chorus. The “mou nidoto...” part. It was incredibly emotional.
She was very good and funny and lovely, her voice was really good for the most part, I think she practiced. Almost no spoken encore tho, just a little game with the dancers of B&D chorus & response. |
I'm in shock at ever free!!! It's a nice set list overall. Always great to have Asfxx on a set list.
|
^^oh my gosh... was it just her... or some dancers doing sth etc.? What did she wear? Can't wait for report!
|
OMG Ever Free! I can't believe it - so happy about this!
Nice to see Next Level included and separate performances of Evolution and Surreal. And Brillante!! I also love Diary too. The only song I'd remove would be Curtain Call as it's one of my least fave Ayu songs but the setlist is looking good. It seems a bit short given how long the show actually is. |
ever free was amazing. Her voice was PERFECTION! You couldn’t ask for better. And it was like a mix of the acoustic and the original with a rocky transition. I thought AHS would be in more if a meltdown mood over it. It was my favorite performance and I don’t even like it as much as everyone else does lol.
|
I don't get the obsession for ever free...overall, I think the setlist looks pretty short
|
I'm disappointed with the setlist, but I'm still happy that I finally saw her live.

What about the outfits?
|
Quote:
First - something very similar to POM2011’s beloved’s dress (can’t tell if its recyled or maybe just some amendments on the dress) Second - Recyled from AT15’s ASFXX Third - White big dress seems to be new Forth - Recyled from POM2011’s BRILANTTE Fifth - Black & Silver all sparkled material short dress - NEW |
I'm glad she sang A Song for xx, BRILLANTE and of course, ever free! Finally!
I agree that Diary is unnecessary, especially when it's your 20th anniversary. It's not time to be nice to siblings :P J/k but yeah, it's a space that another hit from the past should have taken, even though ayu wrote it. ayu sang SEASONS and SURREAL on CDTV live. She was really good in SEASONS! You could actually see how much she wanted to sing it well. |
The concert felt short, recycled and honestly not too much fun. There were some nice surprises like ever free, NEXT LEVEL and the fact that SURREAL was sang in full. Besides BRILLIANTE none of the other song had actual performances. Timmy had fake abs and sang a few lines of evolution before BRILLIANTE in english and it was so bad. His costume also looked like it was about to explode...Chapter 1 was super simple last year, but it was so much fun. Her vocals were OK, not the best I’ve heard, but good most of the time. She sounded really well in hbya and Mad World. She totally forgot about independent and AUDIENCE, which i thought would at least be back for the anniversary. No double encore either, A song is born was a nice finish.
Oh and the increase in breaks for costume changes was so painful especially Diary. My husband caught a ball and we were in A3 so awesome seats! |
Quote:
These are some of the songs I would like to hear her sing, but I can't say that I was hoping that she would. End roll Together When... End of the World still alone Dearest HAPPY ENDING Sparkle Dolls BALLAD criminal Pray Two of us SCAR Naturally Return Road |
I liked the first four songs and thought this was a nice beginning for a concert. But then nothing happened and when I realised during Bold & Delicious that this was it, I was a little disappointed. It was nice to have seen her finally live, but sadly it was just a second PoM but with less PoM.
Judging from her latest fb post, she herself didn't like the show that much. Maybe things will change later on. |
Quote:
And the report from njanjayrp doesn't reassure me either |
But on a positive note: I liked that she focused more on the music this time again and not so much on a grand show.
|
I think the Setlist was amazing. I rly enjoyed it. But I am used to it that ppl complaint in every concerts's setlist
|
^where's the lie though xD
|
Besides the nice surprise of having NEXT LEVEL and the fact she freaking actually sang ever free this time (!)(I really hope someone record it the next dates), the setlist is pretty meh, I was expecting so much more, it's disappointing.
|
Like Chibi-Chan said, I also interpreted her last fb post as if she wasn't really satisfied with the preparations for this show, so I assume a lot of things will change.
I also find it a bit disappointing that she recycles the outfits so much. It would have been interesting that BRILLANTE from PoM 2011, would have been different than from PoM 2018. Maybe she really lacked time and I don't blame her after the damn long JTB Tour. I hope we see some interesting changes. The fact she actually sung 'ever free' just shows that we haven't seen it all from her. Go Ayu! |
This is so sad lol
She ended a 60 dates tour, had to come up with three different chapters and now we get this uninspired, bad setlist, recycled costumes thing for her anniversary??? She should have done Pom last year and Jtb this year smh, why bother touring like crazy if she cant come up with a good show, even she didnt feel like the whole thing was ready according to her post yesterday This is unlike me to be harsh regarding ayu, but im truly disappointed. During jtb she was quoting a lot of her past songs in her instagram posts, (identity, will, like a doll).. I thought she would sing those, that it meant something, that she was getting inspiration but nope. She even teased the tour with videos full of rockish feelings and emotion, where are those? The only rockish song here is Mad World, and i dont care for it since ive seen it live already. |
This tour get me so excited !!
What about the orchestra ??? Is it as present as in POM? Please say YES !! I love seeing BRILLANTE in the setlist... What an incredible song really... ever free is an awesome surprise also !!! Can't wait to hear it. It was about time. I'm sure the costume will drastically change by the end of the tour. : ) I hope she will focus on her vocals from now on... |
All I read are complaints about cosmetic stuff. I couldn’t care less about the outfits. The song choice could be better? Yes... but do you go to her shows for her music or for her dresses?
|
^ both?
