COUNTDOWN LIVE 2011-2012 A ~HOTEL Love songs~ information thread
 
It's that time of year again and doors are set to open at Yoyogi for CDL11-12 with the concert starting in about an hour or so. For the last few years, we've had little bits of leaked setlist and sometimes the ENTIRE setlist (like this year it seems and CDL09-10) but it's always fun to be around during the lives and seeing photos come in via blogs and Twitter!

Sources will be linked to as usual and normally consist of various Twitters and blogs of Japanese fans.

Setlist + etc.
Spoiler:
The stage appears to be the ARENA TOUR 2005 stage with the steps and not the A MUSEUM stage OR the center stage.

The new song will likely be called Party Queen. Yes, Party Queen. She repeats I am your party queen in the song. It kinda sounds like a cheesier Sparkle. It's followed by a reprise of Happening Here and then Love songs. Weird pairing to say the least. Honestly this whole show feels a bit off to me. It will be interesting to see other opinions about it.

- Ayu has four backup singers now, two male (one is Timmy and one is Michi) and two female (no more PECO, Yumi replaces her)
- Shu-ya flails around during November with one wing
- Ayu has shortish blonde hair but it looks better than the hair she had for CDL10-11 ~do it again~
- GO-MI is not present at the show... it seems that he broke a joint somewhere?

In addition to the usual "A" noodle place, they have the soup vendors and an A takoyaki stand!

It seems they are selling a hot corn soup in HOTEL Love songs cups. You can get a free cup of soup if you buy 4,000 yen or more of goods. There's also a set of pink A sporks that come with one of the food items they're selling (takoyaki, the usual soup noodles, and tonjiru)~

Both the ticket shop AND our original predictions were wrong! No center or a-museum stage! It's the old My Story stage!

Don't know how to post pics here from my phone. But I can post to my twitter @SunshineSlayer. TrueHappiness feel free to post the photo here.

truehappiness 29th December 2011 08:20 AM

Interesting. Isn't that the stage that no one liked because she used it a billion times?

emi♡ 29th December 2011 08:25 AM

well, anything's better than the center stage~~


thanks sunshine :)

Looks very intimate.

SKYia 29th December 2011 08:43 AM

I've always liked that stage a lot :)

SunshineSlayer 29th December 2011 08:49 AM

They are playing classical music. Usually it's rock or pop music before her shows.

truehappiness 29th December 2011 08:54 AM

Yeah, I think once it was Nickelback? And another time Fergie?

Perhaps it'll be a rather ~epic~ opening?

Onton 29th December 2011 08:55 AM

so excited. what time will the show start?

truehappiness 29th December 2011 08:56 AM

The show time is in about five minutes BUT they rarely ever start on time.

Onton 29th December 2011 09:00 AM

the circular stage of POM looks fresh..
But I'm old fan and I love her old 3-sided stage more. LOL

truehappiness 29th December 2011 09:02 AM

It is a bit of a classic stage~

But I hope they make some neat changes to it.

Yep it's late. Japanese concerts are usually on time to the minute actually. It's just ayus that are late. Haha

truehappiness 29th December 2011 09:08 AM

Yeah, they usually tend to be very late... but there are a lot of things to finalize/double check I guess? lol.
