[Official Message] Countdown Live 2013-2014 DVD&Blu-Ray on 30.04.2014

The CDL dvd is a compilation of footage taken not only from the last day. Her hair in Because of You changes back and forth, in their positions, from one second to the next, and her position while she's singing the last part changes from facing right to left at least once. 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.

OMG I'M NOT CRAZY AFTER ALL I THOUGHT I HAD IMAGINED THEM

[tenshi no hane]

The sudden appearance of contacts confused me too

[Heavenly]

To me, this CDL is like a present.
So many rarities like WE WISH, CAROLS, momentum, part of Me, Curtain call..
If only there was Heartplace right after Free & Easy..

I saw the contacts, they scared me for one sec but despite watching Because of You many times I don't see her switching sides in the last part, she's facing left for a bit (though the camera changes sides often but Ayu is always left of the stage) and then she faces right till she retreats to the center stage (camera again switches sides often).

I can't wait to receive my dvd and watch it! <3

At 23:50 she is clearly facing the left side, and on the far side of the catwalk, if you're facing the stage from the crowd. At 23:52, she is now at the other far side of the catwalk on the right. Granted, she could have made a quick run for it. At 24:01, without signs or her taking a step back, she is now in the middle of the catwalk, albeit facing the same side.

All throughout the DVD there are little things, for example, at 1:16:55, she does the yeah yeah yeah yeah thing at the end of Surreal, but the image on the back screen shows her shouting an extra yeah yeah at the end, and it's overall not in sync with the sound. These are just little things I picked out... LOL. Hair not being continuous, positions changing, the back screen projecting something other than what's being heard. So don't judge the sound coming from the DVD, and call it lipsyncing, because clearly the footage isn't all a continuous run, from one source.

That being said, Ayu hasn't been this on point in a long time. She looks energized, and looks like she's having fun. Her vocals are also great, and her look is amazing. I'm so glad she decided to ditch those awful contacts that we saw a glimpse of. Or maybe someone threw them out. LOL.

Thank you! It was really nice to see sort of short "making of" in this video.
For me it was more interesting than the actual show :-) I just miss these making of videos.

Little question.... the dancer, who kissed ayu on the cheek... is it a he or a she? From the style, it is a she.. but the face looks like a he.

During You & Me? That's LICO, she was dancer Hide from back then

[pommy48]

^ She was ayu's dancer before, Hide

But she goes by Lico now

[Livey~]

That part was so hilarious~
And the audience was screaming too!

[adantatu2]

I finally watched the concert, and i like it.
Honestly in some songs the dancers are so unnecesary, and they're always making dramatic or weird expressions, but they're perfect for songs like Merry-go-round <3

[maxikot]

Does anybody know if "Love is all" interlude by Timmy and Princess is cover or original composition? Also anybody can provide lyrics? It's really nice.
