ayumi hamasaki PREMIUM LIMITED LIVE A～夏ノトラブル～

[DavidChaiLatte]

Am I the only who felt a little sad while watching the show, ESP towards the end when she was waving goodbye without anyone in the audience? Somehow this is the "lonelinest" show I've ever watched... it definitely isn't the same without live audience. Sadly this just reflects the overall state we are living in right now.

We can only hope things go back to normal soon enough ;-;

Why is Japan killing me? I'd die for a 4K release of this show :~

[EndOfTheWorld]

For End roll I like the Velfarre performance best I think. The 10th anniversary tour performance was a disappointment for me but over the years I have become less harsh towards it.

I enjoyed watching this concert. I'm so glad to hear And Then again ^^
She used too much cutesy voice for my taste though, even Talkin 2 Myself got cutesy voice during the verses...

I love the short End roll at Stadium tour 2002.

I love eberything about this concert!!! The setlist is AMAZING! And the camera angles are beyond good (for a live streaming concert). I feel like the audience absence makes the video so much better because they will focus on the stage 100% of the time.

I'm only suprised to see only one Summer song (BLUE BIRD) on the setlist even tho the concert is called Natsu no Trouble hahah And I don't understand why she sang t2m mixing the depper voice with the cutesy voice... I think its the first time she done that to t2m. I was really confused.

Me too. Well, it’s one of her songs that just sounds good with her old voice.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I thought she looked like she could barely move in the coat during Whatever. ^_^ She sounds pretty good.

Well, basically the concept of the concert is the "problem" we have this summer. It starts with a compilation video of her iconic summer songs and ends abruptly with You & Me verses saying "the memories of that summer are still vivid in my mind even now" or something. And then (lol) we have Mad World, a song about not accepting the state of things (well, COVID-19, honey...).

The first half of the concert is pretty dense and solemn, I guess things start to be optimistic after Startin'... Ayu has a very good sense of narrative on her shows and this is no exception, I think the absence of summer songs are adequate here.

Oh! She sang aeternal, which I think it's a summer song (and it's a melancholic and nostalgic one, it fits so well with the narrative).

[JaimeShak2002]

Does anyone know what Ayu says in the video before WHATEVER starts?

[truehappiness]

準備は整った (jumbi wa totonotta) was one of the guesses.

Basically, "Are you ready?" in Japanese.

Yeah, I was like WTF, Ayu? Not during this song please.

[Earth_maiden]

I thought she was just saying youkosou at the beginning, since she does it at most concerts.

[truehappiness]

The way her lips move don't really fit "yokoso". Some thought she might have been saying something about "yume no sekai" but then the lips don't fit that either!

[alternarist]

Love this concert SOO much! They explored different camera angles and choreography that could only be achieved without the audience in front of ayu, which are refreshing to me! Vocals wise was incredible albeit inconsistent. I was surprised ayu's vocals could last till The Show Must Go On.

Very happy that they preserved the concert feel, with the streamers and getting the audience to sing along. Slightly worried that ayu keeps on checking on her earpiece.

Maybe ayu can consider doing something like that for CDL20-21 if the pandemic does not get better!

found a reaction video of the concert. the guys are quite funny
