Some iPhone pictures from the WOWOW broadcast. High definition stunning!

It seems that the theory is that Ayu cut songs from the 12/30 show [and the 12/31 show as well] due to the late start and timing issues. If flower garden were used in the New Year's show, I think they would have messed up the timing for the countdown.

Same angles from the ustream. Excited for the .ts

Ah I forgot to mention, that 29th and 30th didn't have the NO NO NO parts extended but the 31st did!!!

While I was lining up for goods on the 31st at around 4pm, I heard Ayu rehearse NO NO NO extended parts and then go into Humming.

It's the first ever year all shows of CDL had a different setlist... and maybe timing was a bit off because she had a minute or two before the countdown, but then again, because of all the events in 2011, I wonder if she WANTED to have a mini speech before the countdown...

[isthisLOL?]

I think you mentioned that the NO NO NO parts were not extended at the first two dates before, might have been someone else though, cause I was surprised to hear them extended because of it!

[truehappiness]

Yeah, I read it in all of the early reviews.

I was surprised that they put it in. I guess they wanted to eat up time before the countdown but didn't want to have another song (flower garden)?

The stage actually looks fantastic on still pictures compared with in motion.

[truehappiness]

It does look amazing. I wonder if the stage is being reused for the tour though.

[emi♡]

Oh yeah, I forgot about flower garden...

haha I'm kinda happy it wasnt there

I think she planned to extend NO NO NO (that's why she rehearsed it, and also because she knows fans enjoy it a lot) and she also planned to not sing flower garden.

You guys can see from all of Ayu's past CDLs they are ridiculously timed to the tee with always something like 30 seconds till the countdown when she stops mid song, this time wouldnt be any different. We do live in an age where theres lots of programming behind the scenes and stuff.

What annoys me about that is...her delays of 10-15 minutes are apparently also planned.
Though one thing that IS possible: If they run late they can leave songs out. The screen and lights programming is usually done song for song so if you run late and you know you have one song that's say... 4:37min long you can start 4:37min later and leave that one out. So maybe flower garden was that "safety song".

Yeah, I'm wondering - WHERE'S PECO???

[saigodansu]

Japanese fans said Peco and Gomi have both graduated from the troupe. And a RT of a tweet from Peco said she was in NYC I think, East 53rd street or something, sounded like a NY street.

[letter]

So Gomi's gone. He was my favourite dancer :/
Timmy seems to have replaced his role on the stage. Visually, at least, while providing some vocals.

[AyUmIXx]

i wonder if we will ever get the DL link for WOWOW version?

[YUKARI]

kyaaaa can't wait for WOWOW version!!

[toniayu]

I wonder if there will be two different DVD's: one for CDL and other for arena tour
?

[channy]

If Peco really won't come back, a big part of Ayu's show dies for me :/

I always loved Peco's singing, her high-kicks, her laugh, her outfits xD, her giant hairstyles etc ._.

And where is Ayu's drummer Nobuo Eguchi??? I miss him as well ;_;

Peco has her own career you know...she was never really a BIG part of Ayu's shows.
