Thoughts on PCDL '08-'09

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

I'm really excited and more than likely, I'll watch this CDL.
There are a few more songs I wish she would sing, but overall I like what I'm seeing, especially SCAR and POWDER SNOW!

[ayuchloe]

that's a long tracklist! i can't wait to see that!

[Calico]

I am sooo incredibly excited! The tracklist is amazing! Granted there were some songs I wish she would sing but overall I love the ones that ARE getting love. Can't wait to see it, myself.

[jimex289]

I'm very happy and excited to see she sang some "uncommon" tracks she normally doesn't ever sing. A great change of pace.

[NintendoHTF1242]

I am actually quite interested in this concert because of the tracklisting (maybe that's the reason I disliked CDL 06-07, but then again, I hated that concert because of her cutesy voice)

btw no Bold & Delicious = Fail

[Bad Wolf]

It was played last year. It's obvious that these songs were compiled because a lot of them aren't songs she's played in a while or ever. To say it's 'fail' because B&D is missing is kind of silly... Unless you were being sarcastic lol.

i know i was one of the peoples that wanted Will to be sung~ i think a lot of people wanted ayu to sing Will~ <3 so glad she did, and thanks for the review~ when was the last time ayu threw the balls during independent? i only remember Stadium Tour?....i just remember a lot of big balls floating along the audience

[alternarist]

actually, i have this feeling that since the concert is long, the stage is so big, the is probably gonna be very little costumes and nothing extravagant..

not that i am hoping for all these, but i have this feeling. i would judge after i watch the concert. So there is really no point in commenting because all we have is just the setlist. we dont even have any pictures of ayu performing.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I was really surprised by the list..
Really xD
Maybe is the list a little bit too long?
Okay here my opinions!

0. Mirrorcle World (interlude edit), Oh, well okay. I dunno how to imagine a interlude of that. Kind of Mirror?

28.MY ALL LOVELY END!


@ HONEY_INSPIRE_ME19: I REALLY AGREE WITH YOU! THE SONGS ARE LOVELY! And I also can't understand Melrose opinions.. but okay.. opinion = opinion

@ Melrose maybe you have to hear some songs more... the most songs you say: it's terrible.. are lovely.. at least... for me and others (maybe) here! Come on! Give them a chance! *beg*

[AyuHamasaki01]

The trackinglist is nice but I wish she would perform more recent songs like momentum, decision or one of the new songs.

And Hikki's use for it was in a tour, so it's a lot longer. And making those backgrounds take a lot longer than you might think. Especially on the artist's part.

And for me, CDL was always more of a concert where she celebrates New Years with her fans. Yeah sure, the costumes get elaborate, but at heart it's not really a tour.

Hmhm. I get what you mean. ^^

I wonder if a video or costume is more expensive.. I'd say costume?

@HONEY_INSPIRE_ME19: Hahahahaha ^^
End of the World: Her voice is so bloody awful in this song, honestly. It's downright painful.
POWDER SNOW: I think the song lacks oomph, or a climax, I dunno. I just think it..drags along a little and then finally ends after 5+ minutes. Her IIIIIIIII voice doesn't help much either.
Over: I hate the melody and instrumentation here, I think it's really ugly. *wheeeeee to the moon xD*
Trauma: Don't like it because it used to be a staple song and I got tired of seeing it, but I dunno if I like it as a song or not I should listen to it again then. =p
independent: Live versino better than studio version. If she ditched the dancers this would be LOVE, but then there won't be much ball throwing going on lol.
everywhere nowhere: Annoying instrumentation and the way they digitally edited her vocals.
Boys & Girls: Shame on me? xD Shame on Ayu for singing the studio version so painfully high pitched.

@xLuna&1LOVEL: How did you go from hating the set list in one topic to suddenly LOVING it? ~_~ (And you said you hated SIGNAL and Hana) o_O Seems rather odd.....

But. I really don't like those songs. I think they're OK. I enjoy them once a week, maybe. Seeing them live might change it. Though I doubt it, because seeing songs live more often tend to get me to dislike them more than like them. I got so tired of seeing all the staple songs that I stopped liking the songs, too. But now I love UNITE! again. ^^

I'll go listen them again for you <333 =D

[GRACE]

0. Mirrorcle World (interlude edit) Hmm... Interesting, I wonder if it'll be the minute string section.

1.GREEN FINAL-****ING-LY, I've wanted this live for SO LONG NOW

2.Will Wonderful choice, perfect follow up for GREEN, and desperately needs a live.

3.vogue (side stage) Interesting choice, I want to hear it how she'd sing it now <3

4.HONEY alright, as long as there's less pink than AT05.

5.ANGEL'S SONG **** YES, AS LONG AS YOU DITCH THE WAITRESS CRAP

6.End of the World Squeeeeee~

7.Heartplace Okay, but I never really understood the hype around this song.

8.Real me No stripper dancing, back up dancers, kay?

9.And Then ~ Naturally Sounds like fun =D~ I'm curious as to how they'll pull this off.

10.In The Corner Aaaah~ One of the more unappreciated (m)u tracks <3

11.POWDER SNOW (rear stage) FINALLY~ I think her voice now will spruce the song up a bit~

12.HOPE or PAIN SQUEEEEEEEEEE~ This is one of my favorite MY STORY tracks, along with Liar.

13.Over It's such a pretty ballad, I never really cared for the "IT'S OBER" though, well, maybe her English is better now.

14.SCAR I used to hate this song so much, but now I can't get enough of it <3 I'm glad to see her perform this life.

15.SIGNAL ~ Hana ~ too late YAY! SIGNAL! HANA! too late's cool too I guess.

16.UNITE! gotta have some staples, I'm glad it's not one she did on AT08

17.SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL niether of these songs get old, and they're always a crowd pleaser. I really like it when she medleys them too <3

18.Who.. (rock arrangement) Ooooh rock eh? ...It's Who... so it'll probably be boring, but I'll be optimistic =D

19.Trauma An old staple~ When was the last time this baby saw the light of day~?

20.independent I love the song, but I don't think she should have packaged all the staples together at one time >.>...

21.everywhere nowhere Do my eyes deceive me? This is really happening? THANK YOU WONDERFUL GOD FOR THIS DAY, THANK YOU SO ****ING MUCH <3

22.Mirrorcle World As long as we get rid of the really useless ship, cool. Nice closer. Ayu REALLY must like this song to perform it so often.

ENCORE
23.Days again? Well, it's a pretty song, but I feel like it's been *****d enough x_x...

24.For My Dear... Very interesting ._.... I woulda thought if anything, it would have been Depend on you, YOU, TO BE or LOVE~Destiny~, way to surprise us all Ayu~ I'm curious as to how she pulls this off as she is now.

25.+ Didn't... you just do this one? Oh well,it's a decent enough song.

26.flower garden you're finally back from the dead <3 It's so good to see you again <3

27.Boys&Girls What's an Ayu concert without Boys & Girls? Crowd loves it, it has to be there, whether we like it or not =P

28.MY ALL Powerful way to close out the night, I really like MY ALL as an ending song.

It looks like it's going to be an AMAZING show, I really can't wait to see it!

[Kikaru]

I wonder if a video or costume is more expensive.. I'd say costume?

It depends on the costume's fabric and such. I guess video's more expensive in that you can only use them for one tour, and that's it. Where with costumes it's more practical and you can use them for later concerts and stuff, and they're easier to alter and they can look totally different, whereas with videos you have to shoot it again.

Hmm, you've got a point.~

But I think that semi-artistic video's that are just for background and don't feature any acting or people would be cheaper than a costume. Like AT08 talkin' 2 myself's fire background video. It'd be pretty cool if they did that more often. Like for SCAR show some kind of sky as background. :3

[Bad Wolf]

So you look at the screen and not... at the performer? I think that would just take away from the performance.

But it's a moot point, as PCDL didn't feature any of that, and thank goodness. Too much of a spectacle =/= good thing.

I'll go listen them again for you <333 =D

Yes, listen to them again because you are insane to hate those songs, haha. The lyrics to powder snow are enough to give that song a 10/10 for me. And end of the world? the last and only time that she performed it, there was so much emotion in her voice that it was amazing.
