Preview of "ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2004-2005"

[isaac hiew]

Ayumi's recent annual hit show's DVD video of 2004-2005 COUNTDOWN LIVE now on shelf!

Apart from her latest tracks, the live performance also has included her early songs like "TO BE", "WHATEVER", "immature" , "Duty" and "Key" which has never been performed live! Plus the Japanese drum performance, combined with ayumi's songs that has created a vivid and exciting New-Year-welcoming live performance ever. Not only this 2-hour long DVD is the very first release of ayumi hamasaki's 2005 discography but it is also a entertained packed punch.

Behind the scenes: From back to the front, this DVD shows exactly the secrets and precious footages behind this extravaganza, from rehearsals to actual performance! A sneak-in to the performers' backstages, including ayu's too! Wanna know why ayu's beloved doggie "Pudding" attacked Yo-chan, the guitarist? Why did ayu broke down on the stage, the dance that ayu-chan created with other dancers, how did ayu commented on her hairstyles made by her hairstylist, and lastly, the costume-changing technique that kept on failing, will she make it a success at the final performance? All these rare-to-see footages will all be inside this DVD.
