COUNTDOWN LIVE 2012-2013 A ~WAKE UP~ information thread [II]

[Tony G]

Could not wipe the smile off my face while watching this year's CDL. There was something about it that made it... work. The setlist was fantastic. Ayu looked like she was having so much fun and her vocals were terrific. It actually felt like an arena tour show, she's putting so much more effort into her countdown concerts every year. I'm confident that this isn't the case, but does anyone think her vocals had been altered in the two days they took to air it? Also, and I think most Ayu fans make this complaint, too much use of dancers. A few of the tracks just didn't need them.

Together when... and snowy kiss lives were highlights for me. As someone else mentioned, she nailed You & Me. The crowd loved it.

Who's vocals was a little cringworthy and probably the only song where she didn't deliver vocally. But it was nice to hear it again.

Until that day... had an odd place in the setlist as well, but she nails that song live. It's one of her most underrated I think.

Beautiful Fighters, no cutsey voice! I was thinking it was going to come out and ruin the song but she sang it perfectly. Also loved random disco-munication before this live, no doubt her best interlude ever. How come it's not included in the setlist on the first page? It should be.

One of the best CDLs in memory, but of course it has nothing on the epic PCDL.
