COUNTDOWN LIVE 2010-2011 A ~do it again~ information thread

[toniayu]

i don't know why people hate the short hair wig xD i love it and i think that is nice ^_^

[SKYia]

wow, I really like the costumes and hair, except for that big something with ribbon, it's first time since very long that I like her encore look (probably since cdl05-06)

I wish she dyed this hair more gold and added dark make up to achieve that hanabi episode II awesome look <3

Exciting setlist, nice knowing she's saving many new songs for the regular tour...

High 5 (except for the ribbon wig, I'm allergic to ribbons...)

I like short hair wig. I can't forgive her that afro ponytail through.

Isn't she tired with her glam rock/however it's described dresses already? All look similar to each other.

[Zeke.]

Ayu just looks downright terrifying in most of these photos! Not feeling them at all.

Those outfits are totally horrible!! The wigs, the dresses....
I suppose those are the effects of preparing the CDL in short time...
Still i don't wanna be dramatic...let's wait

That's just stupid. It's not like Ayu is even designing her outfits and they had more than enough time for them. May I remind you that Ayumi ALWAYS had a tight shedule for everything? She probably had more time for this one compared to 0001-0809(maybe even 0910) where she had tons of TV and magazine promo and the injury in 2008.
People should stop blaming EVERYTHING they dislike on "too little time" or it being "rushed", because just about everything Ayumi has ever done has been "rushed", it's the way she works. Why can't you just admit that you think she has shown bad taste for once? (I for one really like everything I have seen and read about this CDL so far - except for the disco-esque wig, but that will probably look better in movement, and the inclusion of Humming 7/4 and Fly High in the setlist, two songs that would be muuuuuch more enjoyable when at the actual concert)
Her team made the outfits, Ayu liked the outfits, end of the story. Can't be blamed on time, cause if she hated them and it had been too late to make new ones there would have ALWAYS been enough time to reuse old outfits or buy something designer. And the whole new stage totally kills the "too little time" argument. Cause performing on a different stage than youre used to takes practice and time getting used to = probably more rehearsals on the stage and quite a bit of time spend building and planning it.

I personally find that MY STORY was a horrid album, but saying it's because she rushed it would just be damn stupid because she worked on it around the same or even more than she worked on other albums. My fav album of hers came only 8 months after the one before.

Translation: I realize I've been talking the same crap half the forum talks whenever they dislike something and can't say anything against you because you are right. I am calm, when I'm not calm I throw swearwords around like no other. But that has you deleted within minutes here.

Ok, you are right. (Not being ironic, not joking, let's just end this here, this is the information thread)

my post was mostly not even directly against you, just to be clear it wasn't personal, not at all(you just happen to be the first person I noticed doing it in this thread), and I'm sorry if I seemed mean or harsh or anything, but I've noticed exactly the same argument turning up in just about every second or third negative opinion on this forum. As soon as Ayumi disappoints a fan the reason apparently is her rushing something...always.

[Kazeyomi]

The outfits are cool (especially the purple feather dress), but the hairs omg hideous imho. The short hair wig is nice, but I rather prefer a wig like t2m. And ugh that afro ponytail :| Ayu we're not in the 80s anymore (luckily lol).

But oh well, the most important thing is she sing Duty omg YES.

[Bubbly]

I don't really like the costumes, the hair and not at all the Stages. But then again I can just judge this from LQ pictures. I have not been there and neither have I seen some good HQ pictures or videos.

[hidekirby]

Duty and Endless sorrow!!! Yeah!

The stage looks great!
But the outfits seem uninteresting or/and gross. And her 'hair'...
I agree it's kinda disgusting.

Even the short wig. I liked the first one she showed on TA. But this one is juste too long!
(and that combo: curly hair+mini sparkling skirt... )

Thank you people for all those informations! Can't wait to watch it!

[kagami]

I love the short hair...she looks spunky and cool. I'm sure it'll look better in moting too, as these kinds of pictures never look good.
Stage and setlist are awesome.

[Kashoku]

She looks hideous....

[love in music]

she better have decent vocals for this because seriously if she messes up with those outfit+hair combos it's just going to be a disaster all around. besides b&d the setlist is seriously flawless though. i'm most looking forward to the ballads.

should change Evo or B&G with Blossom would be better though

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I can't wait to see Free & Easy and Endless sorrow!

[truehappiness]

Outfit photos so far:

Spoiler:

They are also in the first post.

It's interesting that a lot of these are... older hairstyles she used like 10 years ago.
