So I went to the show yesterday too ;-)
I think everything has pretty much been said?

I enjoyed it a lot, however, I won't lie. I was kind of underwhelmed? It was great hearing older songs, and heaven, jewel and no way to say we're amazing, but I felt like it was just lacking something... Not to say it wasn't a good show.

I didn't like the arrangement if Voyage, though. It sounded really messy to me.

I loved all the costumes, and her vocals were on point. Sakura was beautiful!

I wanted her to sing No more words though. Seems I'm not the only one, I overheard more than 4 random people in line talking about it, and then 2 others after the concert ended talking about how they wanted to see it!

I hope she adds it in... :-(

Also I recommend anyone who wants the limited t-shirt to get in line for the goods early! Like, really early lol. My friend got there at 11:30? So we were definitely at the upper part of the line, but when we got to the booth they were down to just small size, and when we finally got to the front they'd sold out. Luckily I didn't want it though haha. I ended up getting the big towel, black shirt, and uchiwa. I still have time to think and save money by the time the tour ends. :-p

Though it's disappointing it's kinda expected, songs like Kanariya or Ever Free are probably songs better suited to CDL. Though I think there's a reason she doesn't sing both songs..Kanariya because she just can't and Ever Free because of the meaning, the same reason the lyrics were't included in the Vogue single.

I like the setlist. I just think that SAKURA before wake me up without interlude is a bit weird. I'm glad for Tell All.

I actually like this setlist! I wish I could go to a concert and see the classics live. I bet live performances bring a whole new life to her songs.

The setlist is good for the kind of show it is (Best) I just wished she would sing ever free and that it wouldn't be only an instrumental.

I'm guessing those are the number of songs from each album she performed?

Just to be clear. She doesnt sing(live) in ever free but its not completely instrumental. You hear her voice sing. Its the regular studio version. I wish she sang it live though.

We had such a nice time. We started dating in t2m PV, took it slow you know, let our love grow. Then it got really serious in 2008. Then after AT2009 we moved in together. It was lovely. Then on AT2010 he asked me to marry him. He was such a sweet. And Ayu gave us our blessings. She was also such a sweet. Now me and Maro are such a sweets together. Aaaw, how time flies.

I can kinda see what you mean by "underwhelming." Maybe because I just finished watching my BD of the CDL 2012-13. There are good songs, like Song 4 u, Who..., and Together When... But all together the show is kinda "underwhelming." I don't know why but I kinda feel "this is it?!?!" unlike her previous CDL (especially PCDL, Future Classics, do it again), I always wanna re-watch again and again.

Btw I didn't want the 5800 yen t-shirt either. I am more of a solo Ayu person.

That's a disspointment that she didn't perform no more words! To be honest I rather have her perform that then JEWEL (even though
I voted for it). >_< I dont get it, so the set list that was shown with 50 songs. Is she going to perform all of those on different dates? If so I hope she puts all performances on a DVD or something.

tbh, i am only excited about JEWEL - HEAVEN - SAKURA.

and since A Song for XX and Memorial address are both "ayu and band" performances, we shouldnt expect that the opening is very grand with all dancers?

I also thought the theme of the tour was kind of lost.

It opens with a masquerade type dance with the words "welcome to our cruel beautiful world" and then there's a bunch of militant type costuming on her (usually dressed as clown) dancers, and a ballerina at one point, with her other acrobat dancers in my name's WOMEN-esque harnesses.

But Ayu herself doesn't carry out any type of theme. So, I didn't get it...

I thought it was amazing how the soldiers were walking sideways on the curtain! And it dealt with life and death and heaven, but it got kind of lost...

I think if your going to do a theme, it would be a better idea to execute it throughout the entire thing?

In which case No more words would have been a perfect choice lol. After Sakura. Ahhh :-(
