They mention at least two other versions, maybe all of them are fake, I hope we can get confirmed one soon. It seems that the show will air on 8/8.

No way. Just...no. Please be fake. PLEASE. M, SEASONS, and evolution? Why? Movin on without you? WHY? Let it go...it was just a cover. Do a new RedOne song and perform that.

It would really make no sense to have an upcoming mini album release and only include one of those songs in your set list. :/

No!!!! I hate that setlist. Summon tokyoxjapanxfan........

Surreal17 · #63 25th July 2015, 03:22 PM

SO disappointing...

Pieces_of_SEVEN · #64 25th July 2015, 03:25 PM

Yeah, waiting to hear from tokyoxjapanxfan since I know she went to the performance. Fingers crossed that she has better news. lol

Andrenekoi · #65 25th July 2015, 03:43 PM

People, it's a special live aimed for general public, not for her fans. She's not in her heyday anymore (unlike Superfly that promoted her new album with several new songs cause she's popular now). When Matsutoya Yumi performed at SONGS, I think she sung just one new song, the rest were classics.

But, I don't know why I'm shocked about your reactions, tbqh :p

Surreal17 · #66 25th July 2015, 03:48 PM

I was sure you were going to say this. Its NOT like she can.t perform other popular summer song like monochrome or fairyland. Why evolution again?

roanmy · #67 25th July 2015, 03:57 PM

I can't wait to hear, I like that set list ^^

mizuki-7 · #68 25th July 2015, 04:03 PM

^^
Simply because whether people like it or not "Evolution" became over the years her signature song at the same level as Seasons & M for the general public !!

I'm not that excited either !

Andrenekoi · #69 25th July 2015, 04:12 PM

Cause "monochrome" or "fairyland" could not appeal to people who even doesn't know Ayu exist anymore. It's a way to reach people who recognize "Seasons", "M" and "evolution", like: "oh, I like these songs so much, let's see it... Oh... Is that Utada's song? Great... Wow, I don't know this song... Is that new? I like it *buy it online*". That's broadcasting.

chocopockymaster · #70 25th July 2015, 04:14 PM

If that tracklist is true, I hope she sang at least one other new song besides Step by step...Summer diary would be the perfect track to promote on SONGS!

Because she only sang one song from her upcoming release? Why would she not take this opportunity to promote sixxxxxx a little bit more? At LEAST two new songs.

I also don't think M fits because it's July...summer songs would have been nice. As for evolution, it's just so overperformed, it's annoying. But I get it.

Surreal17 · #72 25th July 2015, 05:30 PM

Exactly, what is M doing here x.x

Chibi-Chan · #73 25th July 2015, 05:43 PM

This setlist is probably fake, so personally I would wait until it's confirmed and then discuss it...

Andrenekoi · #74 25th July 2015, 05:48 PM

M and SEASONS. Two songs from #3 most downloaded album of 2014 in Recochoku, called A BEST... Also two of her major hits. So strange...

kinix · #75 25th July 2015, 06:15 PM

will she ruin SEASONS again... =___=

^We're not saying it's strange, we're saying it's TYPICAL and annoying. There are other choices, better choices.

Coelacanth · #77 25th July 2015, 06:18 PM

Desperate and humiliating setlist if true. It's like she's saying, "HEY JAPAN!!! REMEMBER ME!!!"

**ayumisrael** · #78 25th July 2015, 06:34 PM

lol at people being surprised that this is the setlist.

It is surprising they at least let her sing Step by step. The setlist is not her own only decision.
I wanna see it.

Umm...I don't understand all of the surprise if this is true. If it isn't that'd be awesome, but if it is, it would make sense. I can understand being upset, but you should still be able to understand why.

People aren't having ayu on TV or watching ayu to see the new music that no one cares about because she's not popular anymore. A lot of them may not even know some of the other summer songs that well that weren't bigger hits.

Ayu isn't "in" right now so why would anyone even let her sing a bunch of new songs/songs her fanbase would know.

She'll instead sing songs that people recognize and like already like Seasons so they would enjoy the performance more. Even Movin' On Without You was pretty popular so that would make sense as well. And then a new song for promotional purposes still. There aren't many better choices if you're an irrelevant old lady to many people.

Yeah it's normal that she has to sing her mainstream songs, when you stop being popular among the general public that's what happens, she could sing her newest song and call it promoting, but maybe they didn't want her to do that for some reason.
