The time has come as Ayu starts another tour! The doors have opened and the show starts in about half an hour. As always, I will try to gather all information regarding this tour in this thread.

For now, all this thread will house are photos of the venue and stage that we find until the concert ends in a few hours.

Sources include Twitter, Ameblo, photozou, mixi, 2ch, a few select Japanese BBSes, and users here.

Setlist + etc

- the show was like an updated [version up!] version of CDL11-12
- the show was about half Ayu and half dancers
- Ayu may have had a costume change every few songs
- there was not one single large screen, but rather they were a bunch of screens connected together like AT10/7days Special
- Ayu messed up Boys&Girls at the first show
- she wears a wig for most of the concert (lots of different wigs)
- Shake It♥ is performed in a maid outfit
- her encore outfit is pink shorts with pink shoes and the pink concert T-shirt with pink wristbands

REMEMBER. This is UNCONFIRMED.

The stage appears to be the same as CDL's.
