COUNTDOWN LIVE 2013-2014 A information thread

[RealLight]

I never had a problem with Ayu's band and her dancers, I feel like they were the perfect match for her, my only complaints were the overuse of Shu-ya and some choreographies, which looked very dumb sometimes. But now she decided to increase the family and that's what we have today.

some songs NEED the dancers, some performances have a better visual with dancers/theatrics (most M performances, BALLAD @ AT 10, HAPPY ENDING @ AT 05).

some have it ruined cos of dancers (No way to say @ A BEST LIVE)

and I can't stand Timmy only because he creeps me out on the stage.

bold. can't agree more

I just realized that the bold & delciious' new version in this CDL sounds almost the same with Power of Music's. I was chatting with a fellow AHSer earlier and i mentioned how jazzy the new arrangement is. he the told me of POM's and i searched it on YT. )

im dying to watch MGR live

[AyuGAME]

i think she decide to not broadcast it? because she will release it very soon

[Earth_maiden]

^That could be a legitimate reason, if it gets broadcast soon maybe not as many people will buy it if it gets released in April.

or she doesn't want any uncontrolled lip-synch leaks... just a possibility, it weird not to broadcast after so many years of doing so

Could be a reason but then why did she broadcast it all those years with all the lipsynched sections ? Maybe she just can't be bothered this year ahaha

I really hope that's the reason behind it.

I don't think the TV station has anything to do with it. They (avex) announced the BD/DVD at CDL, so I guess they wanted to just skip on broadcasting.

I mean how many times have the posters for the latest release said "CDL is coming out in Spring" on the day of CDL?

[kaito_moonlove]

So bad. The spring as they announced is April or May . I need the TV version so bad

[pimenta]

I guess they decided that when it was aired before the DVD release many people would watch it and didn't feel the need to buy it anymore, so now they are promoting the DVD release since the concert date and people should buy it if they wanna watch it...

It's sad of course...TV versions have always had such a unique appeal for me. They truly showed live show as it was unlike DVDs with edited sound and different camera angles.

Tought I was the only one who felt that way! I always felt TV version had more ''raw'' emotion than the DVD. Sure, the later sound better, but on TV it feels more pure to me.

And speaking about lives, I think I'm the only one who thinks the sound on her last concerts sounds more like studio recordings than live ones. The instruments doesn't have that ''echo'' on them, which kinda ruins things to me, even that sound editing on AT07 sounds better than this.

[ayu-michan]

I'm fine with no TV broadcast at later date, but well it would be nice if there were livestream right on the 31st.

So true, I like TV versions for those same reasons.
