[noisy_harmony]

Her vocals were not that bad for her standards... She ruined "Don't look back" whisper though

I believe it is her "comeback" year...or at least in terms of general appreciation/like for her work. (:

[Not~Yet]

I'm really impressed with her vocals! She seems to stay well in tune. And the screens do really look great. And she looked really good too from what I could see. Lol I feel like I am at the concert in that seat when watching these videos. xD

[zellyx]

I am SO happy for the setlist...
I already love Rock'n'Roll Circus... then I see the setlist..

Almost all of my top favorite songs are being performed.

She sounds pretty good in Don't Look Back, a definite improvement~!
I didn't like how she killed the "Don'tLookBack" whisper. :/ But that's okay, it's just a small issue. The glimpse of the INSPIRE stage looked EPIC. A HUGE improvement in vocals shown in INSPIRE. Not too much vibrato!!!
Memorial Address is my favorite "ballad." Maybe not a true ballad, but I consider part of it to be one.
Boys & Girls is the first Ayu song I heard... very sentimental to me. (:
I had a spazz attack when I read alterna on the list. It's my #1 favorite Ayu song. <3

As for STEP you, Surreal~Evolution~Surreal, & until that day... those are some of my favorite songs. In fact... practically the entire setlist is my top 20, at least...
I think I'm going to go crazy when the DVD is released.

[truehappiness]

And now, I have like a jillion images to stick in the first post AND video files. (Oh, reviews too!)

News just keeps pouring in, haha.

Aaaand I'm done!

REMEMBER. The first post is updated every so often with new information.

I wouldn't call AT09 an abomination... maybe it was just her lowest point when it came to lives, and this concert is just on a whole different level? Haha.

I also have whole Don't look back with little of Inspire but maybe I'll post it later, it's too big and I cannot occupy the laptop for too long.

Microphone at Saitama 11.04 MF

Thank you

Hatix filmed it =) He posted the video on his facebook around midnight in Europe

EDIT:

Since Hatix left for Kyoto today and won't be back soon... Here are his pictures from the first concert:

Spoiler:

Matthew and crea_spain

Painting fish?

[Polyrhythm]

Yes...she sounds pretty cool and all....but damn...that screen and stage setup look so amazing! Can't wait for this DVD! It feels like MY STORY 05 all over. Thanks for the amazing video BTW!

EDIT: And yes....Microphone was awesome too....great opening...

[truehappiness]

AWWWWWW!

So cute! oji-i-san looks so proud! And everyone's stylin'~

AHAHAHAHA at the fish painting.

[aura~]

Misa-chan, you are so cute *-*

everyone looks great! I wish I could be there!

[AyUta]

Her vocals sound amazing! Thanks to everyone who went and updated us with videos and images We all appreciate it very much! I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves !

Oh, and I was wondering if someone could label that group picture of the AHSers with their names so that we can know who's who .

[truehappiness]

I think I only know the guys and Misa-chan, haha.

From left to right for the guys it looks like:
crea_spain, Peter/Hatix, Matthew, and oji-i-san~

And then Misa-chan is between crea_spain and Peter.

[primavera♥]

aww. . .this is soo cool. im finally up to read all th rest of the reviews and then the vids and then the pics!!! omg the outfits are amazing really. i love the bunny one too. ayu owns all the little playboy bunnies now. thank you all who posted stuffs

anyhow. this just seemed great. and overall im happy everyone who went had fun.
i need this dvd haha ^__~

[AyUta]

Ah, so that's the famous misa-chan! You all look great!

[MissElin_]

I just have to add, maybe I'm the only one but... I LOOOOVE the peco-princess-Go-mi part. It's sooo much fun, Go-mi is just the funniest guy ever doing his weird dance and the song the girls are performing is really catchy and fun. Very very cabare. I think it's just a fresh and new way to get rid of costume changing time insetad of long videos or the band rocking of like crazy (like all the tours before). Now this was just fun and a great brige between the songs!

AHAHAHAHA at the fish painting.

The fish painting was just so random. Cuz we all just sat there and ate food and this man came towards us and was like "Do you want to paint fishes? It's just for kids, but you are gainjins and thats fun. Its for free!" and we were like "yeah...sure, why not? ". Lol.

From left:
Christa(or Krista, she doesnt post too much I think so I don't know the username,), then it's me (MissElin_), Amanda (chocopockymaster), Jorge (crea_spain), Angel (Misa-chan), Peter (Hatix), Matthew and then oji-i-san. A great gang are'nt we?

[truehappiness]

Wow, you're all so pretty~ Haha.

I'm sort of sad that Matthew said he didn't enjoy Ayu's concert that much for some reason... -sigh-

[AyUta]

^ Aw, really? It seems like such a great concert. Do you know if this was his first ayu concert?

[LizBrazil]

No, he has been to a concert before with Hatix.

[AyUta]

^ Oh okay. Well, I hope he likes the next one that ayu throws out.

[Tony G]

I agree about the wanting of huge props. She's set the bar high with AT05/AT06, but there isn't much in AT10 by the looks of things. Sure the setlist is awesome, but it doesn't have much over AT09. I found AT09 show enjoyable because I liked the setlist. Rule's opening is probably just as epic as Microphone's. The costumes weren't that bad and she had a few performances that stood out, but a couple of boring ones as well (GREEN anyone?). She's done about the same amount of recycled performances as well by the looks of things from CDL.

Still, this is the kinda concert you go to Japan to see just because of the awesome setlist. I'm going to the wrong continent in summer!

[thatstacey]

Now that I'm all rested up, I have two questions for people that went to the 4/10 show:

1) Did they do the thing with "otousan" during your encore?

2) I thought she sounded great, though sometimes it was hard to tell because the feedback was so loud. Is that par for the course at Ayu concerts? This was seriously the loudest concert I've ever been to. No wonder she has problems with her hearing. :/

Other than that, the show was amazing! I loved the setlist; I really hope they don't change it once the new album has been out longer and people are more familiar with the new songs (it was kind of funny seeing the light sticks falter whenever a new song started "Oh, crap, what do we do?!"). The opening set especially was just perfect. Misa-chan is my hero for getting us these tickets.
