^Most of it.

The bodice is still being used (though slightly modified) and it became a skirt as opposed to a dress.

Even though I like kiss o' kill more than return road, return road made much more sense during that part to me. Oh well.

Just hope its not cut from the DVD/Blu-ray release. In fact, I'd prefer the setlist she's stuck with the entire tour instead of the last show. The PQ-heavy setlist might not seem that great but it was those songs together with the theme that made this year's tour something special.

POWER of MUSIC had some notable performances as tokuten/extras so I think Return Road/call/Letter should get the same treatment. Come on, Ayu~~

I guess this is one of her most versatile tours ever. If you compare CDL and the final is like they are two completely different tours but with the same name lol

I can't recall if she had any other tours like this one, apart from PoM which was always changing too.

They cut call and Letter off the show too? Now I'm freakin' sad, because I love those songs so much and was looking forward to see the performances. Oh well, I just hope they're added into extra material then.

I thought that she would sing the song for Urata Naoya... I think call?
Because he was there in the audience. But I was wrong.

Kiss'o'kill was a pretty good performance, but nothing can top the cross in Asia Tour so it was a little disappointing. She just appears at a different location, and instead of her being consumed by the masked people, it's Shuya. Her vocal also wasn't that good for the song, she was oversinging. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, but not as good as some of the other songs. Tell me why, reminds me, Sparkle and appears had AMAZING vocals, and surprisingly the Jazz songs were some of the best vocals of the night. Love Song also has pretty good too.

Her vocals were pretty much great throughout the show, except beginning when you could tell she is either nervous or too excited ahaha. song 4 u was pretty good opening, if a little short. Her high notes in all songs were so so good, especially Tell me why and reminds me, and Love song. But I come to the conclusion which is that I absolutely hate this cute cute voice which she does in Ladies Night and I think Step You?... it's worse than her strange vibrato era I think. ahaha.

Perhaps Return Road/call/Letter will be performed during CDL 2012-2013 as the closing for the hotel love songs hence they are taken off the setlist. Then we will get the hotel love songs concerts as a trilogy and the two concerts can be released as special boxset.

I hate that she never performs Ladies Night seriously and puts on some ditzy baby voice...she should perform the ~another night~ version and do the song justice. Even the AT06 performance bordered on cute.

^Same. I also hate when she does it for rollin. But everyone is in agreement that's supposed to be some cute song with the stupid dance or something...so.


But Ladies Night definitely takes the cake.

I like her cute performances too! Just not for those specific songs.

Like I'll go all Angel's Song cute any day...but for those...I think they could be in with her more epically performed songs if she took them seriously.

For rollin' yes, but I think the studio version of Ladies Night has also something cute in it, so I think it works. But to see the ~another night~ version performed would be to good to be true!

Letter was for herself... She kinda confirmed it on an interview

Call being about Naoya is rather strange unless she was in love with him...
