I got my DVD just now
I know it's so late LOL

But let me join the comments LOL

So...From the beginning till the end
I LOVE THEM ALL
OMG
I REALLY REALLY ENJOY HER VOICE
LIKE IT'S VERY VERY COOL LOL

I'm too excited...^^V

the show itself is really superb
even the last part (B&G) was not really hyped up the show...but it was still great
too bad ayu's feathers had to fell down

I'm not really liking the Docs...esp coz it's 'merged'...I hate pushing next and next or seeing the Lie like being 'cut' IMO

taskinst interlude video is AMAZING
it would have been a great PV for 1 LOVE LOL

then....what else
I LOVE ALL

I love it when Taiwan fans saw ayu for the 1st time when evolution started
they were crying esp the gals and there was a man whos so hyped that he jumped like a gal too LOL too excited for him

I really love this Live
SEASONS was done really really well omg

her really really best up to date
if she put the water fountain here it'll be nice...assumed she had never done it b4

also
her make up
costumes
styles
everything about her is just so great

so bad it doesnt have 5.1ch..only pcm stereo

I LOVE HER ^^V

but
I wanna know if this year's AT can be as good as this

The Concert was so gd!!! but, now im trying to compare how hyped i m for this one as compared to the previous ATs...well, its definitely NOT that i dislike this wan...but, maybe the hyped died down after such a long wait and, some performances were rather like standing there to sing..like M and Secret but they still had some interesting bits nonethelesss...

ITS SO GD TO HEAR AYU SINGING LIKE TAT AND DANCE!
i want to give a song-by-song review..but im in school now...haha
so i shall post it tonite!

although i went for the concert, but i dont have the urge to re-watch the DVD again and again like AT05 and 06. i duno why.. probably because old songs were performed and nothing really special for songs like M and part of Me. but i still like them though.

I still haven't seen the entire thing, but I'll give my opinion on what I've seen.

LABYRINTH
What a beautiful performance! I really loved the choreography!
How I saw it: Veoh

evolution
That acoustic performance was great. I really loved the "wow yeah's;" so genuine! ^^
How I saw it: Veoh

until that Day...
WHOA! That was an awesome performance! I really love how the sound effects came out in this throughout the beginning of the song. You know, the first verse where her voice sounds all electronicized? It sounded much better than the "GAME" performance from her tour two years before. And she was workin' those sexy moves! The dance by the guys at the end I was neither impressed nor bored with. I don't know; none of her male dancers really turn me on wow me.
How I saw it: Nick's site

Secret
Ohh, that was so beautiful! Her crescendo at the end of the song came out wonderfully!

i just bought the DVD like, two days ago, i think it's too good to be true! i mean, her voice sounds TOO perfect! i was kinda disappointed when i was sure it was all re-touched / lip-synced, but when she kinda slips in until that Day... and Secret, i was sure it's her voice!

here's my song-by-song review

LABYRINTH
i think it's just okay, i mean, i was expecting a grander stage with a cool opening video - which didn't happen, but i think it's quite cool

evolution
this is her most wonderful evolution performance since DOME TOUR 2001 i think, it's sooo close to the original track - which i LOVE so much, and the ballad intro is just tear-jerking (when i saw the Taiwanese fans started to cry while watching this, i was sorta wanna cry too hehe), a FABULOUS performance!

UNITE!
i'm not sure if this is lip-synced or not, the vocal is strangely steady IMO, an okay performance

taskinst
cool video! i mean, really REALLY cool! ironically, her actual MV lacks the quality this short clip has

1 LOVE
i find this really sexy, i like her outfit, her dances and dancers were great, and the music sounds waaay better than the album version, WONDERFUL!!!

until that Day...
better than the CDL performance, i mean much much better, excellent vocals, and the song itself is already so rocking, oh and i love how she says the last line "sono....hi made..." sounds so sexy!!!

M
i think the outfit's not suitable for a song as HUGE as M, and the vocal sounds too perfect, overall an okay performance

appears
the BEST appears performance! the dancing part is so moving! i love this performance so much, and the vocal's great too!!!

part of Me
THIS is THE BEST performance in the whole concert, the outfit and vocal are perfect, and the music enhancements make it even more dramatic. SUPERB!

Secret
as a comparison, it's like watching a better less-sweatier version of walking proud from ARENA TOUR 2005, it's a good performance with excellent ayu vocals

kiss o' kil
i both like and hate the arrangement of this song, and the performance reminds me of is this LOVE? from ARENA TOUR 2006, the great thing was that when ayu suddenly appears on the cross above the dancers after disappearing for only two seconds from the stage, nice job, Poroko!

Not yet
cool video, cool hands movements, cool-looking ayu in silvery feathered costume

SURREAL
standard, she doesn't sound bad, and doesn't sound great either, just plain okay

AUDIENCE - Boys & Girls
just her usual last-songs-for-the-main-stage performances, only with way better vocals

ENCORE

SEASONS
really REALLY wonderful vocal performance here, her falsetto is amazing! one i haven't heard of her for eons

glitter
this is also THE BEST performance in the whole tour, it's up there with part of Me, ayu sings PERFECTLY, and her jumping around only adds the fun fun singing the song! a really happy performance. Note how she introduces the song: "shinkyoku ([this is] the new song)...guritta!"

independent - Humming 7/4
good vocals, thankfully. i'm somehow bored of these two tracks

Who...
her BEST-SOUNDING Who... performance i think. because she can hold on not to cry until the very last moment when the song ends, a good ending song!

overall, this DVD is good, but i miss the encore MC session with Yocchan, and the whole disc-3 bonuses.
i also don't really like the documentary being slipped onto the concerts, i'd like it better if DISC1 is the live and DISC2 is the documentary, too bad...

but it's still a great Great GREAT DVD!!! Thank God i bought it! ^^

I really like the documentary...one of the documentary of ayu's concert opening in taiwan and you can see the girls in the audience crying...it touches me sooo much!! I think I would have done the same if I have been waiting for sooo many years to see ayu sing in my home country

I love that part

I'm relistening to the live via audio rip right now and I'm realizing that the part of Me / Secret segment is like the best part of the concert vocally. I swear, she's so good there.

Really now, the documentary messed things up for me. I wasn't able to enjoy the DVD as much as I did for AT06 or like CDL07-08 due to a lack of cohesion or something..

Messed it up for me too. Somehow I guess it was a good idea to go back stage of what you've just seen, but it doesn't really work. Plus, it's not all back stage, a lot of it is in the dance rehearsal room, singing and band rehearsal room and all that.

I ripped each performance and pasted them together, but it still fades to black too much making it choppy still.
