There's a report of a 'sound leakage' setlist.
01.Love song 02.Happening Here 03.NaNaNa 04.call 05.reminds me 06.Like a doll 07.Tell me why 08.Eyes, Smoke, Magic 09.a cup of tea 10.the next LOVE 11.sending mail 12.LOVE 'n' HATE 13.Return Road 14.Microphone 15.taskebab 16.Shake It♥ 17.Rule 18.evolution 19.Party queen 20.Happening Here (chorus only) This is NOT confirmed but sound leakage rumors tend to be somewhat truthful. It could be used as a fakeout though so don't think this is 100% real until we know for sure. |
^Please No, i want more ballads, need Letter, need more classics
|
hmm the setlist looks very fresh as the majority is from PQ... I wanna see more classics too :headache
|
that setlist looks flawlesssss, I hope it's true lol
|
Wow! It's a great mix of both albums...
But no older Ayu aside from evolution. :( This would have been the perfect opportunity for Ayu to finally perform Liar. |
Wow,if this is the official setlist...I Love it!!!!!!!
|
seems like this tour seriously aims to promote her new album, not like it used to be before when we had 3-5 new songs and others old.
|
Wowww i love the setlist.. Mostly are Songs from PQ excited !
But oh no evolution again... Hope the state design will be a bit different from CDL.. |
Wow. The oldest songs (except from evolution) is from the NEXT LEVEL album. Feels strange... And new. No November. :(
|
The secret collectible in the cookies is a phone strap that's... a cookie! [not a real one, obviously.]

I think this pretty much confirms that there will only be one tour this year.
If the setlist is completely correct, then 75% of it is composed of Love songs/Party Queen songs...but even then, the majority of that really is Party Queen. Such a strong setlist, but at the same time, it feels kind of 'incomplete'. |
aaaah wish I was there now :headache
|

but omg MICROPHONE + RETURN ROAD?! SHAKE IT + RULE!!? those work so well!!! I think PQ can mash in with her old hits really well!! i still wish reminds me + sending mail :D this is definitely Party Queen's tour if the setlist is this..HOTEL Love song ended in CDL hahah! the do it again opening needs to be there for sure..and hopefully there's November again, in a more epic way Oh and i love the WELCOME TO HOTEL LOVE SONGS door hanging thing HAHAH..genius :) and with Party Queen images, i think its clear how this tour will go |
Coupled with the making of the tour videos, it kind of makes sense (LOVE 'n' HATE's in that green outfit, jazzy outfit is the short mini dress... etc) but I'd wait.
For all we know, this setlist is completely false and the real one only has like 3 Party Queen songs, haha. |
I hope that setlist is close to accurate.
|

I can't wait to know the real setlist :D |
She's like leaving all the classics to the CDLs and the arenas to promote new releases, I kinda like that :) Hope the setlist is true, again lol

Or rather, it may have just started... I was just saying that there's a possibility the other one is completely off/wrong. The briefcases at the end of the stage seem to indicate MORE CLOWNS. |
I think it sounds pretty accurate already; the songs chosen from Love Songs are the deeper, more cryptic types, rather than happier types (which would suit the message of the Party Queen songs). But at the same time, it seems quite odd that nothing from FIVE is present...

why did u mention LOVE 'n' HATE?? i think sending mail would be performed in that green outfit replacing the red lace outfit she wore in CDL. and..seeing how the Sparkle and PQ outfit is kept...im thinking she'll sing those songs in those respective sections as they were |

Anyway, the lack of a MY ALL/Thank U-esque ending is a bit odd. |
Please Ayu, enough with the clowns. :shakehead
|
there really NEEDS to be a crossroad performance (even though I dont see how that fits the HOTEL theme in anyway)
and blossom could totally go with call/Letter :) |
Spoiler:
Hot and beautiful *_* |
Hope this trackliste is real, I really love it!!!!
|
Quote:
|
The key chain is really cute:)
|
Judging from the lack of updates at the moment, I would say the show has probably started already.
|
I like the unconfirmed setlist, I think it really fits the vibe of Party Queen. :D
The only songs that aren't present are Letter, Serenade in A minor, and how beautiful you are. ----> Ayu is out to promote! :D |
A entire setlist without ballad section would be exhausting for Ayu O_O
|
Yay for Like a doll! If it's true...
Also Return Road and Microphone is a good combo... sending mail and Happening Here will probably be like in the CDL though it's good that only these 2 are from the CDL. Only Letter and hbya isn't performed for Party Queen, if that setlist is true :) So it's like a Party Queen tour with a hotel theme. Well most are sad love songs anyway so it fits :) |
Rumored tracklist is epic. it's like a concert of my dream =)
|
That definitely looks great :D I wonder if Letter and hbya will appear in the encore, if this is indeed a real setlist.
Like a dollllllll <3 So happy for its inclusion. I too really want a full blossom performance thoguh :( |
Yea return road n microphone r so cool.. Both hv that organ sound.. So matching!!
Really really hope its true one!! Wow that super ayu Banner pic is so huge!!! Ayu's sexiness is overload!! |
Oh my..like a doll, return road, call, reminds me and Love 'n' Hate? Holy, yes!!! I need this concert on dvd. I hope it is true too!
|
Quote:
but it does go well with those songs..and the fierce outfit is so reminiscent of NEXT LEVEL tour's gray wan i think NaNaNa should totally go with LOVE'n'HATE just because...both are slightly rockish but not fullblown rock and they have the countdown link i tthink the Encore section isnt included in that rumoured setlist..Letter definitely suits the Encore |
I LOVE the unconfirmed tracklist, even though i find it odd...Only 3 Love Songs songs and 11 Party Queen songs, omg, do you realize, she's almost performing the whole album.
|
The audience is waiting for the encore at the moment, it seems.
|
a japan friend say this setlist is fake
|
^ oh nooooo~~
waiting for the real setlist! |
No one's updated on anything yet... though some people have mentioned that they are waiting for the encore.
Hope to see the real one soon! |
Oh boy! Lol. I liked the set list but I feel it needed more Love Songs since it is..."Hotel Love Songs".
|
やべえ 超おもしろくて超楽しいぞ！！！あゆライブ！！ まもなくアルコール！！
http://twitter.com/#!/mikajohn/statu...93403473301504 Mikajohn tweeted that the show was great and fascinating. The encore is coming up soon. (about 30 minutes ago) I think she put "alcohol" instead of "encore" in her tweet though. |
no news about real tracklist?
|
The concert is not over yet.
Two minutes ago, someone tweeted that the concert has finished! TIME TO WAIT!!! |
ahhhh I cant wait!! did any members go tonight???
|
I think we may have one or two going to the shows this weekend. But they might be going tomorrow since it's the anniversary show?
First blog entry seems to say that it was an amazing show... and just about every song had costume changes?!? http://ameblo.jp/sintaru/entry-11205346970.html |
wow thanks truehappiness for the effort again!! :) and this is ayu's dream after RnRC tour!! she is determined to present it to her fans so i would think that this is an awesome show. and i guess the theme of Party Queen fits the whole HOTEL Love songs theme.. the whole DJ thingy right in the middle of the stage.. :)
looking forward!! |
^that sounds incredible!!!
and sounds like a redemption from what people were talking about for CDL1112...those who watched it live. |
SOMEONE POSTED THEIR SETLIST.
01.Happening Here 02.reminds me 03.Tell me why 04.appears 05.Shake It♥ 06.STEP you 07.NaNaNa 08.Sparkle 09.the next LOVE 10.Eyes, Smoke, Magic 11.Return Road 12.Ladies Night 13.Party queen 14.SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL 15.Love song ENCORE 16.Letter 17.Boys&Girls 18.how beautiful you are No Like a doll is depressing. The splits indicate costume changes, it seems. Impressions seem to be... It was like an update to CDL. ("Version up") The screen is like the 7 days special one. (Not one single screen but a bunch of connecting ones) The show was kind of half-Ayu, half-dancers. |
I love this setlist!!!! :luv2
appears is so fitting! :) NaNaNa/Sparkle would be great together. And I'm so glad that Letter is there instead of call... But only one song from love songs? |
only one love songs song :thud :laugh
yay for reminds me and tell me why *O* My faves |
^ awesome setlist
i still love it!! expecting to see costume pics soon!! |
The set list is...okay. I agree with truehappiness, I was looking forward to Like A Doll live. I think that sound will be like ever free, never to be performed.
Seems like the "Love Songs" theme is dead, and "Party Queen" is in full swing. I think I liked the fake set list more lol. But I am happy to see appears :) |
^ Is that the real one?

She axed Love songs so bad?!?!
HOTEL Love song with only Love song!? she really really doesnt like to repeat herself :) !! but I guess she couldnt change the tour because of the effort and thought put in for all the interlude videos and stuff? with reminds me and Tell me why being opening..that is a really really dark and sad tour >.< |
Quote:
And the setlist is most likely real. Someone posted it with their iPhone a little after the show ended and reviewed the show afterward. |
I prefered the fake setlist... I wanted to see Like a doll, Microphone and call :(
|
She did axe Love Songs pretty bad. Maybe she could have kept the "hotel" bit but lost the "Love Songs" bit, so it wouldn't be so sad and depressing to see the lack of Love Songs tracks.
|
its funny how HOTEL Love songs only have Love songs in the set list. appears appear to be random in the setlist haha pun intended.
the concert ended with how beautiful you are. how can it be? |
the last posted tracklist seems a bit odd. Ladies Night after RR?
|
Rats. Too much like CDL imo. :/ How I wish the first fake setlist was true. No november or like a doll. Boooh.
|
im loooving the setlist so far! and oh the return of Appears! :luv2:luv2:luv2
and the pic of Leslie and Ryan kissing Ayu; woow! lucky guys haha |
The setlist is still amazing. Maybe she'll make changes throughout the tour like she has with Power of Music and Rock 'n' Roll Circus.
I really, really hope that she will sing STEP You at this year's CDL, since I'll be there... :innocent |
Sick and tired of Happening here... opening song, are you kidding me? I'm only interested on Return Road, reminds me, Letter, Shake It♥ and NaNaNa lives...

Anyway, I think the setlist may change a teeny bit as the months go by but not by much. Keep in mind that there are tour videos between a lot of these songs as well. |
Ugh, so so sick of how beautiful you are AND happening here. The fake set list was so much better. I loved how they had Microphone after Return Road.
But SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL???? Best part of the setlist. |
She goofed up a little during b&g, accidentally sung an extra verse. Haha. Yochan staredat her and both of them kneel to the audience.
I love the Shake It outfit and the encore outfit! Shake it was a sexy maido nurse, while encore she's wearing pink shoes, light pink shorts and the pink concert tee with pink wristband. Pink Ayu to the max, and her hair is now shorter, most of the performance was wearing a wig |
wtf...there are almost no Love songs at all...kinda disappointed with the set list. Ladies night and Sparkle booo :(
|
Quote:
Maybee, the Setlist isn't complete? |
I forgot to add that her vocals was very good in this show, most amazed with appears, LOve Songs
|
Wow...
Love the set list... Need to see the costume.. :D |

It's like CDL 11-12 all over again...with Ladies Night, Sparkle...I love these songs but I wanted MORE LOVE SONGS
|
Only one song from Love Songs? :)
|
No, the setlist is complete.
However, they may change things as the tour goes on. (Or rather, they MOST LIKELY will) |
I think they will change the set list, even maybe adding new songs...
I remember Timmy mentioned in his twitter that he had to learn a new song for the tour. |
I love the setlist aside from Happening Here, it should've not happen :laugh
And yes I need more Love songs since this is Hotel Love Songs not Hotel Party Queen lol Maybe she'll change the setlist again on the end of the tour, I just want more songs she can ditch Happening Here obviously XD Can't wait to see the costume pictures! |
that set list seems so disappointing...
|
Oh, c'mon, stop complaining!! It's always the same. People never like setlists.
Maybe "Love Songs" is one of my favourite albums, but I prefer her to sing all the Party Queen songs. I love Do it again, November, Virgin Road... but we have just seen those songs live, let's see NaNaNa, Shake it, Return Road... every new live song will be much appreciated! I want something NEW, not the same songs in every concert... I was very afraid of the setlist because the countdown live 2011-2012 and this tour share the same title, but I'm veeeeeeeeeery happy to see those changes in the concert. |
Wow. My excitement for this concert went way down.
While I'm ecstatic that I'll be able to see appears live, I can't believe it's almost entirely PQ. :( Yes, sure, we get to see them all live (minus call, which could always change) but still. That's not really what I was most looking forward to based on the title. Now, the title doesn't even make sense in relation to the content... Will I enjoy it? Sure, I assume I will. But that's not the point, lol. |
She already did all of Love songs songs except for Like a doll, I'm glad that it's mostly Party Queen.
Yay for Sparkle !!! ^_^ |
Not a fan of the setlist at all. Meh.
|
She probably should have kept a few more Love songs tracks until later on in the tour.

I wanted to see them in person, and since I paid for the ticket for a tour named after a different album, I halfway expected to see more than just one of the songs from said album, which has been performed numerous times anyway.
I'm sure I'll still enjoy it, but it's just frustrating. I saw this as my chance to see songs from Love songs being performed, since I wasn't able to attend CDL, and now that I can't, unless they update songs throughout the run of the tour, it's just a bit annoying. I don't dislike PQ, for the record, I just wish they were better incorporated with each other. |
Certainly those who didnt like Party Queen you would find it hard to enjoy the tracklist so...thats too bad
and of course I wished she did a fusion actually. It's kinda of surprising but I'll see how the tour will evolve :) im sure if there's a new single, she's incorporate it in time to come hehe. 18 songs feels short for a standard Ayu tour but it looks very sectioned out and that's all that matters to me + i love the songs |
This setlist isn't counting interludes which are usually a part of setlists. Or maybe they didn't use any of them this time?
|
ôh yes..including interludes then things might be different. and LOL she totally misled us with that Maro scene...everyone would think its for MOON/fated
|

THAT WAS VERY ANNOYING! XD Anyway... I love the setlist. |
