a-nation '09 information summary

[truehappiness]

She has such a big discography to select from, it's a pity.

I dunno, with a-nation, you can only really select from a niche group of your songs. Like, look at TRF. They have a big discography, but they only perform a few old singles and Boy meets girl/CRAZY GONNA CRAZY/EZ Do Dance/Survival dAnce/Where to begin a whoooooooooollle lot. If you look at artist's setlists, they usually have songs that have been repeated since their first a-nation appearance. I think they try to cater to everyone in the audience with well-received songs rather than try to be ~cool~ and vary themselves with obscure album tracks [when really, people would just leave during their set haha]~

Well, you're certainly right, other artists do that to, but I don't like that as well.
Ayu could choose a lot of other songs which would fit perfectly... Fly High, Unite!, evolution, Inspire, Trauma, independent, Hanabi... they're all classics and very popular among her fans and casual listeners. It's ok that there's one song which is repeated every year, just lika a kind of tradition (for TRF Survival Dance for example). But she has almost the same setlist as last year and this is a bit bland.
