alterna´s performance in arena tour 2006!

[immel]

That performance totally blew me away when I saw it, right there, on spot, at Yoyogi Stadium. It was the song I looked forward to hearing the most in that show, and what a performance it was.

And yeah, during her 2nd show that year at Saitama Arena the ball got stuck, they couldn't lower it down. According to SunshineSlayer, who was there and reported about it, it looked like Ayumi considered jumping but ended up staying cool and decided to perform the next two songs while still in the ball (probably a good idea, considering how high up it actually was. The show must go on. Afterwards they moved the ball backstage and they got her out of there somehow.

Why she wont be performing it again? There's very few album unique songs that Ayumi has performed during more than one tour. Each tour is to promote her latest album, and that's why all songs from the current album will only be performed during one tour and possibly at a CDL or two. Singles have a larger chance of being sung more than once, since she'll try to promote her singles through a-nation and CDL. Songs like Startin' got a lot of performances because it was finished before the CDL that year, then she performed it during the AT and then at both a-nation and the next CDL, if my memory doesn't fail me (I'm not counting TV performances here).
