Blowing Up Cities

[zyoeru]

In Ayu's Concert Tour 2000 vol. 2, what's the significance of the city being blown up in the End roll performance? Originally I thought it was a tribute to the terrorist attacks, but then I realised this was BEFORE them, so now I don't know what it could mean...any ideas?

[noidea]

well, the song is about going alone without looking back and without ever being ABLE to go back, so maybe the city shows that she cant go back by being destroyed

^ Ahh, I see~ thanks.

Vol. 2 is nice, but Vol. 1 is SOOOOOOOOOO much better.

i prefer volume 1 too. yeah i though the same thing with city blowing up she can't go back and maybe that's why she can't turn/ or maybe its the way she felt inside her , like all the sadness exploding in her heart would be symbolyzed by the city blowing up. only ayu knows the exact answer ...

I was thinking and maybe it's possible that the entire concert is interlinked, like I remember the part of vol. 1 where Ayu's body double commits suicide, so maybe she's trying to represent something there...I'm gonna have to watch them back-to-back again sometime and see if I can make it make sense. XD

Nooooooo. It was part of the concert. She stabs herself in the concert with a sword.

^ wow, epic o_o it's a must watch! i'll download it later .

LOL vol. 1 and 2 seems interesting..

I assume that ayu had little control over her concerts last time so i wonder who came up with such ideas.

Hmmm...idk maybe it's the cinematographer?
