to add... she's now also one of the lead dancers now, like ZIN or Shuya.
maybe Shuya's departure is to be replaced by Lico.

I can decypher some (but little) lyrics, sounds simple but lovely. And i must admit, Princess has really beautiful voice here, really really enchanting.

Does anyone know which fairyland remix was used during the DJ hello kitty interlude?

Oh... I heard about a dancer from Ayu, who was first a man and than a woman. So.. she is transgender. What does he looked like before?
So.. I wasn't really wrong... it was a guy before.

I noticed that Live DAM is one of the sponsors listed in the CDL credits...I wouldn't be surprised if certain performances from this concert starting popping up at karaoke places in Japan, like numbers from some of her previous tours.

I think Live DAM is mentioned in the credits just because they run this release's commercials at karaoke places. Unfortunately it usually takes them many months to make karaoke versions of her live performances.
For example it took them about a year after release of DVD to make COUNTDOWN LIVE 2012-2013 A～WAKE UP～ karaoke versions.

Ok I've watched the whole thing finally. This concert is very good, much better than last year's countdown (not that i don't like it). The only thing that annoys me is Timmy, well not him but his "creation" and ayu's voice being overprocessed. Apart from that all performances are great, I'm not that big fan of Merry-go-round but it was fun. In this concert it's very noticable how Ayu went to more dance music (Feel the love, Merry..., You and me) and actually i slightly mind that. You and me was super fun and cute, but didn't distinguish it that much from merry-go-round. Is this love is wow, perfect animations, love song...love that. Part of me touched me. Well overall i felt Ayu's energy, the concert itself really tries to reach high, i think it's a really solid base for coming tour. Ayu does change her routines for sure, i say for positive.

Halfway through the show... it's crazy how far the CDLs have come since they first started to become mini-tour shows since around CDL05-06. They've really upped the quality.

[hud]

Was that remix of STEP you released?

edit: I just realized it's probably the YOUNG PUNX one from ayu-mi-x 6 but a little faster, lol.

[truehappiness]

I think in order it's...

Wake me up (Remo-con remix)
Beautiful Fighters x MSTRKRFT
STEP you x The YOUNG PUNX
fairyland... but I'm not sure about the mix. It was used previously just after BLUE BIRD during A BEST LIVE when they did a DJ 2-YAN segment.

from ayu trance 4: Endless sorrow (Dance Nation remix)
from ayu trance 2: independent (D-Nation remix) (aka. independent [Cyber NATION remix] from ayu trance 3)

[ after BLUE BIRD ]

Seems like it could have been a mix done by 2-YAN maybe?

Carols, there is one shot of her clearly wearing eye contacts, while the rest of the song she isn't wearing them..

I think that explains a lot, why her lips aren't matching with the words.

This is not new. I think that's why she will never have the date in the title. Its basically been done from the start. They just use the best angles. STADIUM TOUR 2002 is the best to see it done. Everything else is usually not so obvious. ASIA TOUR 2006 had a few with her feather outfit thing malfunction, with some of the zoomed out shots. You can see that thing still attached, then it goes in and you see it barely hanging on her. The DVDs are more to show the whole show over just one date

More or less the same he looks now minus the hair, I wanted to make a screenshot from CDL 04-05 but the quality is so bad even though I have the dvd, I'm so used to blurays now, this CDL really needs a bluray release.



He's in the back



And there's this. Although they forgot to include CDL 04-05, his first performance, he wasn't in CDL 05-06.

[truehappiness]

This is Hide from ASIA TOUR 2007. Could probably get a better image but I think most of us remember when Hide was the 'lead' during HAPPY ENDING in AT05.

LICO looks so much better now! Her energy during the concert was amazing, hahaha!

Hey gus, I had the audacity to ask him through facebook and he immediately sent me the letter! And it was he who wrote!

LOVE IS ALL - Timmy

"Snow is falling so white
Candles glowing so bright
The choir that sings a carol tonight
Hear the bells as they toll
Feel the love in your heart as it grows
Love shines a light

Search for one perfect thing
And the joy that it brings
Your sorrows will melt away in the thaw
So dry all your tears
And try to forget all your fears
Love, love is all

This is our destiny
To find a place to be
A place for you and me
To call our own
So many twists in the road that brought us to today
So many words we're to scared to say...

Search for one perfect thing
And the joy that it brings
Your sorrows will melt away in the thaw
So dry all your tears
And try to forget all your fears
Love, love is all"
