Thought on ARENA tour 2006 (miss)understood?
 

I think most of the people in here have downloaded and watched the opening of arena tour 2006 and Born To Be... preform. IMO, this opening is so amazing! I have the feeling of "HOLY ****..*SHOCK*" We don't know the rest of the tour yet. But based on the opening, the tour is stunning.

I had also the same reaction :D I loved it, it was awesome and her dress was really beatiful IMO!

So going to order this around ~christmas :yes!

...and if you haven't watched it yet, grab it here:

Yes, the opening is indeed stunning.

I think the title of the thread should be thoughts of the DVD, and not the performance, because there's a slight difference :).

From what I noticed in the 7 minute clip that was released just recently the editors of the DVD seem to have been able to capture the sheer power of her performance very well, I'm re-living it all again. I hope that the rest of the DVD will be as skillfully made.

The intro is amazing, I find it her best intro, ever.

Thanks, immel for the link. I didn't know why I couldn't post the thread with the link. At the end of performance of Born To Be..., the fire and red lighting reminds me INSPIRE from ARENA Tour 2005. But IMO, Born To Be... is better!!!

I loved the many different screens. I think its connected lights though cause at the beginning you can see through the two front screens. Really awesome stuff. very surreal. The fire was brilliant.

I'm waiting for my DVD, since it's coming this week. :)

I know it'll be amazing. AMMAAAAZZZINNG.

Please no one spoil it, im gonna order it.

Then dont come into this thread...

The intro was okay, I really liked the quickness of each scene change in the intro around the beginning parts...but it was all behind the scenes sort of thing. sorry, can we say....WAYYYY OVERDONE. ;.;

I like her BTB dress, but the dancer costumes were not spectacular and it didn't match to ayu's dress. Nice performance and vocals (if its not edited), not the grandest opening i've ever seen, the hype disappointed me. They could have improved by working on the lighting and flashing effects during the loud parts. it would have been BRILLIANT.

I'm looking most forward to Ladies Night/alterna/is this LOVE? so...yeah. : I hope those are good performances.

I really like it! It was so amazing! I only would have either changed the dancers outfits so they were in something that matched ayu or put ayu in one of those tribal suits that the dancers had.

On a side note, did anyone notice Peco? She looks so different!

Sorri I was just being sarcastic. lol

IMO, it was amazing even if overdone. Ayu had floatyness in DT01, AT02 had behind the scenes footage that wasn't hot like the AT06 footage, and so on.

AT07 will likely have some sort of original video opening rather than a 'behind the scenes' shot.. :)

weehee!! i downloaded it and watched!!

well.. for the intro video Are You Wake Up? i feel that the video they are showing. was somewhat weird and inappropriate. i prefer AT 2005's video. but i like how the concert started. started with a bang. with audience clapping with the beats!!! :D i like the usage of the visual effect of the natural elements, together with the red rose gives me the feeling that i am in a tribal party or somewhat in the forest, especially with what the dancers were wearing.

but i dont really like the way ayu sang the chorus of Born To Be... sounds different from the original version. especially the i-MA nara.

I have not seen it yet.I dont want to spoil it till i get the DVD.But i am sure it is awesome.

You must know that Born to Be.. is HELLA HARD TO SING LIVE x.x
Try singing that part.. oi.

I think that the intro was quite fitting. It was like "Ayu's posse's gettin' up in this arena, yo."

i can sing that. lol. i jus feel that if she sang it that it actually sounds nicer. dont u think so?

I'm not seeing it until Christmas because I'm going to be purchasing the DVD then XD

Are you sure? :p In front of seventeen thousand people?

I really don't think many people can perform Born to Be.. as loudly and as 'proudly' as the CD-track especially when you're standing inside a flower and have a whole concert left to sing. Ayu is capable of really good performances, and I think that she did Born to Be.. quite well especially given the fact that this does open the concert ;D

[I wonder if she was saving vocal power for later songs, so as to not be all tired after the opening..]

probably??? well maybe i expect too much. due to the anticipation. :P

Perhaps.

I think she was singing pretty fullout, unless you'd want her to yell LOL

ive watched it.. partially.. but the encore disc is really good.. her team message shirt is made from diamonds i think -_-.. havent watched the disc 1 yet.. but i like her last performance of Beautiful Day

here are some scans of the case pics (imageshack resized it too small lol..)
