I love it. I think it's a great show! Her vocal is as bad as I thought it would be, cos the tv version is disappointing. But this one is really great!! I really love it, I think her vocal is really good here. Great show, and it's really interesting, cos the there's 3 stage, am I right? and I'm loving the long runway. Great show!

Did anyone notice that in the credits Shuya's nickname is "Shu-ya?" Is there a difference I'm missing? O.o

^ Now that you've mention it, yeah. Although I thought he was referred to as "Shu-ya" since CDL 04-05, like in the extra, except it wasn't in the credits? Same goes to ZIN too.

I believe he's always been Shu-ya.

Just a sort of nickname, I guess.

I just got my OS press of the concert =D I'm gonna watch it again later, this CDL is so awesome~

As an update, the translation will probably be done in about two weeks or so. =]

I just realized! What happened to Tsuji Motohiro the manipulator?! He wasn't in this CDL and asia tour 07. I miss his antics when ayu introduces him and he has nothing to 'show off' lol... I remember he said something about doing a magic trick when ayu intros him for the next concert, something like that. That was probably during CDL 05-06.

Catzi · #**108** 2nd August 2008, 04:58 AM

Tsuji Motohiro is still there, but not on stage. He's listed in the credits under "Mastering Engineer."

SolarAngel · #**109** 2nd August 2008, 06:45 AM

Aw thanks. I wonder why he's offstage now.

I just got my copy of the DVD tonight

I would have gotten it earlier but my dad waited until late to tell me it came <_<;;;

So far I love it

She sang songs she doesn't sing very often, some I heard live for the first time.

Does anyone want her to re-record Boys & Girls and throw in that "la la" part like she does in almost all her concerts? (at least the ones I've heard) I hope she does for A COMPLETE ^-^;

SolarAngel · #**111** 2nd August 2008, 07:47 AM

That's a great idea! So far boys & girls have not been in any compilation. They should do that but they're not doing that.. =(
I felt Rainbow was an odd song to countdown to.

Edit.

Sorry it's in A Best XP But no lala's there either.

jbrat2219 · #**112** 2nd August 2008, 08:21 AM

^ I thought RAINBOW was weird until they started Counting down to the new year, then she picked up the song again. But then Evolution began and it seemed like the energy of the concert came back. I think RAINBOW would have been better during the encore, after Sotsugyou Shashin or something xD; I'm so glad she sang it though!

**EDIT**

Also! I was expecting more for Bold & Delicious. I know she did a gospel choir last time she performed it at CDL, which I loved, but part of me was hoping for a jazz band or something for this performance. Like what Koda Kumi does for BUT and Cherry Girl.

He was probably promoted. He's pretty much in the same place that Kobayashi Shingo is in now [the mixing board near the back of the arenas]..

I felt Bold & Delicious were lacking something too. It wasn't just a gospel choir, everyone also had a costume change and there was confetti everywhere! Then along came AT06 with big crystal thingy. For this one, it's not flamboyant enough. But i liked that she had more dancers (the stage was starting to feel a little empty) and the behind the scenes shot of ayu on a trolley for ladies night was hilarious. I would love to be pushed like that!
