Tour of Secret - kiss o' kill

Bashumaru · #1 16th March 2008, 09:03 AM

I have a question about this performance, was the masked Ayu a body double? I'm not sure if it was but it seems pretty impossible for her to get up on the cross so fast. Sorry if this was answered already or if it was explained in the documentary because I'm in the middle of the kiss o' kill performance on the DVD right now so if it's explained, I'll request for this to be sent to the trash can.

Well, yeah... it's quite obvious it's a double.
They did another magic trick

Just like Ladies Night at AT06

I am quite sure that the catwoman was Becky (or however u spell it.)

The double was used in AUDIENCE (DT01), the interlude after I am... (AT02)..

i admit that i totally didnt noe it was a double during the concert itself. i was waiting for ayu to appear on a cross but she is still on the damn stage!!

the next second, ayu appeared on the cross. it was perfectly executed..

Yea, it's her body double who, if you watch the behind the scenes, is around a lot. She normally takes Ayu's place when Ayu wants to see what she's going to look like in certain places on the stage when performing.

Like Ayu would sit somewhere in the concert hall to see what a fan would see at that time.

It's not one of her dancers though.. she has one specific person. Let me find a picture xD

^ yeah itz totally obviously not her... there's no way she could get up there that fast and take off the mask and cape in time...

i really liked the performance ^^ love the theatrical-ness ^^
but i wish that during the instrumental, she the lights went out and she dropped under the stage and did a quick change. that would've been cool ^^

Yes, it's her double/stand-in.

This woman has been her stand-in for years [before RAINBOW and even before I am...~!]. Her nickname is Poroko also known as Takami Desaki.

She is of a similar height and body type as Ayu, and generally she performs the show when Ayu needs to see things from the audience's point of view. Like, during rehearsals, Poroko would be in Ayu's place during a song, and Ayu would be watching.

Doesn't this mark the first time that she actually participated in a concert?

Anyway, she must be one lucky $#^%$#! to hang around her all the time. Thank genetics for that. Ahaha.

alternarist, AyuHamasaki01 was saying that a "magic trick" was done again.

Like how Ayu had a double in DOME TOUR 2001, or when she had the chains disappear / reappear on the girls in AT05, they were kinda like illusions. :O

JinHamasaki · #12 18th March 2008, 05:05 AM

Strangely, I think she was also used in HK in the uraayu video to lure away excess photographers....

Except it didn't seem to work?

And, Stadium Tour 2002 during Boys and Girls where she comes out with the mask on (in her red fluffy outfit) on the upper level of the stage, and then Ayu appears on the main stage.
