PREMIUM COUNTDOWN LIVE 2008-2009 A (Information)

This thread will be used to house pictures, the setlist (and possibly some spoiler ones, as we know that 2ch is quite pesky when it comes to leaking information at times..), and anything else relevant to PCDL. I will be updating this post throughout the next two days and so on, so please try to post anything found in the future about PCDL in here, as I will stick it in the first post.

Pictures
Spoiler:
Stage photo from an ameblo blog.

Some professionalish photos from Max's blog:


























A rather cute photo of her and Max from his blog.















Etcetera (Costumes, stage set up, etc..)
Spoiler:
-Pure white dress for POWDER SNOW, yuki yamu made part was acappella-like
-set is mostly pink and white
-GREEN was Asian themed, Red+bright yellow, Ayu looked like she had a sling on, but it was part of the costume (dancers wore their costumes)
-Who... section had multicolored tights, dancers had tracksuits...
-Next outfit was like older concers, bright colors with army pants
-there are two(three?) stages like CDL07-08 apparently according to mixi, with circular portion in the middle of the runway.
-she wore what looked a black glove on her injured hand but it was just a part of a costume
-her vocals were exceptional, she cried a lot (From mixi, but I don't think this is backed up..), HOPE or PAIN was a requested song, and people seemed to thoroughly enjoy the concert
-a small report from teth~
Since someone at AHS or something will write a detailed review (if not already), I will just write briefly.

...

Actually, since the tracklist is already available, not much to say. LOL

All the songs I wanted to hear (except for Present) she sang. POWDER SNOW was awesome!
- For My Dear... was definitely a surprise, since I wondered if she could handle the song now. She ended up hitting all the right notes...but not without looking she was giving EVERYTHING she had to hit those notes. After she was done with the song, she gave a "whew-I-did-it" smile at the end. lol
- Vocals overall were good...but obviously deteriorated toward the end. Days would not sound like her recent TV appearances (though not off-key). I have not-so-high faith for her vocals tomorrow but nothing that can't be fixed on DVD. lol
- Since she sang EVERY upbeat concert song basically, it was a lot of 'exercising' toward the end. lol
- I don't know why some people are complaining. I thought she was already singing a BIG amount of songs that she would not normally sing. And songs like HONEY and such, even though sung before, were very fun and refreshing.
- "Real me" was AWESOME...in the sense that they did the whole original choreography. This and PS were highlights of the night for me.
- I couldn't tell at all that she had any arm problems. Or that they did any major adjustments. She was waving it and holding her mic like she usually did. Maybe she's on painkillers and what-not...but she can probably last through tomorrow.
- I think this may be her BEST CDL (and this is in terms of entertainment factor).

I'm not going OMG over it but I thoroughly enjoyed it.


Oh and people that are complaining about the encore CLEARLY still don't get the purpose of these songs.
-Pink balloons with the 10th anniversary logo were dropped along with pink streamers
-HONDA ZEST SPARK ads were all over.. lots of little Zest Spark handouts were given out too, with the Ayu profile shot from the ads
