I don't know if it was in disappointment or not, but just general bafflement.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I need to see some costumes to imagine the concert, but it looks quite good...
The ballad section: PERFECT

[Mai82Go]

Maybe it wasn't planned to end like this, but Ayu felt sick suddenly or something and decided to end it fast?

I'm not sure about the very last date since I wasn't there, but I saw it three other times and I'm pretty sure she did it then.

For Dream On, they played the PV on the screens and Ayu just sang her own part while the pv played Naoya's.

That's not bad at all, Kuu had misono sing her parts on the large screen for "IT'S ALL LOVE!" in the Universe tour, so I don't mind that at all.

[AyUmIXx]

^ woah so she sang alone for Dream ON? that's kinda weird haha ~

[Mai82Go]

Yep, would have been better with Naoya. Maybe he'll be there tomorrow, although AAA have other performances as well. I wonder why he didn't come today?

[inspire_rmx]

I love the setlist and the new center stage. a fresh change ^^

Last angel, Marionette, Free & Easy, Mirrorcle World, SEVEN DAYS WAR, Love song... only these songs' performances I'm interested abt...and WTH?!? If u just sing a few words of do it again, why not just naming it COUNTDOWN LIVE 2010-2011 A ~Thank U~ or smthng like that??

The stage looks awesome. Setlist, not really. I was hoping for more songs from Love songs-album, like sending mail, Like a doll, crossroad, FULL version of do it again, November...
Was assuming that she'd sing almost all the songs from the album, but now I think it's impossible for her (and to anyone else) to learn some sort of choreographies to all those new songs/memorize new songs' lyrics she hasn't performed yet.

So now just looking forward to gettin' some pics, the DVD version, since there most likely won't be TV version this year, thanks to UStream?
Oh, and yeah those 1-3 performances we're free to watch without charging.

Didn't throw her wristbands either...

Seems like she has changed the way her concerts end... But I'll miss the a capella thank you if it's like that,,, T_T

That sounds quite different though from how this concert ended. It was total somber attitude, no smiles, no "thank you". The only way I can describe it is weird. I don't know.

The regular version of the rnc tour still had her doing her usual type of closing.

[Earth_maiden]

I really wanted her to perform blossom, since I haven't even seen her perform it ever. Maybe she'll do it tomorrow...?

I understand your feeling, and the attitude is a bit surprising but i wouldn't say this is That weird.

This is what we call ROCK N ROLL.
Though do it again is not a rock song, there's a Big rock'n'roll feel to it.
However what may be surprising, is that the super star Ayu herself, isn't afraid to end the show this way, compared to what she used to do. Generally, in those cases, the first impressions of a part of the fans can be "wow that was weird.." and then "yeah, actually i was really disappointed with it" (or some might say "it was a revelation to me, i loved it!"). BUUUT. Hey, we didn't get to that point. And it was only for one concert. Which inevitably leads me to the second point :

The first CDL Day was obviously like a big last training before the second day, THE super big ultimate day. I'm not writing the first day's audience was like a test audience, because we're precisely talking about ayu here and that says it all.
Anyway, is it revealing that she even completely forgot the lyrics of "Thank U"? (except Lalalala).

Let's hope for the best today ^^

On a personal note, i'm not sure if i'm completely enthusiastic about her outfits, or her hair, but i don't dislike them either. I just can't wait to see her with everything in motion!!
The circular stage brings a fresh feeling to ayu's ever similar CDL stages, i concede this. But as some wrote earlier, it's not easy to create big surprises popping up with this kind of stage, everything is centered in the middle of the concert hall. The cameras may not move that much, haha. Nevertheless, in the viewpoint of the audience this kind of stage is often much more enjoyable because you can always see everything, wherever you are. And here again it ties up with this rock n roll feel, with this perfect rock stage, surrounded by the fans, in the thick of this (two days) war.

also agree !

[noisy_harmony]

[freedreamer]

She didn't perform the whole song, she just repeated the chorus twice as the curtain lowered. It was very....strange. She didn't run around thanking the audience a billion times, or throw out her wristbands, or yell "domo arigatou" micless. The concert just....ended. Really really strange which is why people were like "eh? That's it?" at the end. I'm not quite sure what to make of it.

haha wow. That IS strange. But I think she'll officially open AT11 with <do it again> for sure. Actually it's quite cool. Hasnt Kuu been having these continuation stuff in her tours as well. I think she just passed the baton to Ayu ahhahah! I honestly love the sudden twist though

Im just sad she no longer does her ARIGATOU GOZAIMASTA in silence anymore..but oh well..Ayu being Ayu..always changes

I wasn't there so I can hardly know, but maybe it was supposed to be weird?

And yes, Carols was quite short.

during the regular R'n'R circus tour, she did shout thank you micless.

but during the 7 days live, she did not do that. she just shout thank you with the music still on

[Ranma Matsuri]

Wasn't expecting to, but I actually like that setlist a lot. O_O Look forward to hearing how Duty, Free&Easy and the Trauma~AUDIENCE~Fly high~flower garden medley sounds. Her voice is so amazing these days, I bet they sounded excellent.
