Hmm but, that would be weird if she didnt inklude the asia leg in the DVD imo. Its only her seccond Asia Tour and they would already leave the asia leg out from the dvd? Naah. >.<

If they dont want to make two diffrent dvds. But then I think they would release them in the same time probably.

It'll be basically the same thing as AT07 if they wait though. :|

haha why do u think its the same thing again? nothing is the same. the time, the set, the songs, the things that happened. i am not trying to force u to think that its not the same dont get agitated. But jus wondering why u strongly feel that its the same.

whats more, it will be very unfair for the asian fans that they are not part of the DVD. If they are not gonna feature the asian legs of the tour, then they can just end it right now right?

In my opinion, they should NOT do what they did for the AT07 DVD and we will be grateful.

[truehappiness]

Because no one wants to wait until April 2009 for the DVD.

I'd much rather that they sacrifice the Asian leg [since they'll end up showing coverage on the news anyway] in order to have a speedier release of the DVD. I mean, even if they do change the show in Asia, what will be different if they wait to film in Asia? 50 more minutes of documentary footage? :[

This is assuming that they did film for the DVD at Yoyogi though. And I don't think its worth the extra 5-6 months of waiting to get the DVD just for more footage for a possible documentary. D:

[alternarist]

Ha! but some things are not up to our control i guess. if it's really meant to be released next year april, we cant protest anyway right? haha..

What i mean is since we cant change what's gonna meant to be, we might as well wait since we have already waited SOOOOOOOOOOO long for the last yr's DVD.

one bad thing about a long waiting time is that people may already forget what happened.

Hmm I think I rather wait some time and get a full DVD that includes the Asia leg.

It would feel wrong if they didn involved that part. Also, if shes gonna announce a new single soon the new one will probably show up in the Asia leg tour and why not include that in the DVD?

That seems likely, but... eh. Namie Amuro did this with her PLAY TOUR. She added new songs after the taping of the DVD, sacrificing a quicker DVD for less footage, so basically the new songs were done during PLAY MORE in Taiwan and so on, but the footage that's on the PLAY TOUR 2007 DVD is all pre-PLAY MORE.

I mean, if there is going to be a new single, she'll probably do it at a-nation, and that should be good enough, right?

And if she was going to wait until 11/2 to debut a new single... that'd be extremely.. dumb. She'd probably already have come out with a 2nd new single by then. D:

Ayu doesn't look chubby.

Many French fans went to a concerts of the tour ! They have prepared a great banner :p

^That banner they made is so cool!

[ayumisrael]

I love that banner!
Mirrorcle World PV ayu pans!

[alternarist]

realise from the list of band members and dancers,

Becky, (the other new female dancer from CDL 0708) and Hide are not in!!

[truehappiness]

Hide is now doing his own thing full time [he was not at CDL07-08 or a-nation] and Becky might've left the dancers temporarily for some personal reasons or a lack of being able to handle it [that, or she was just axed for symmetry. XD]

Also, the dancer Kiriko from CDL is not present. D:

[AyuGAME]

wow..that interesting banner...

[AyUmIXx]

woww they just made the banner there?
pretty cool!!

THAT SUCKS! LOL.

but i pity Becky. During last yr's a-nation and CDL 0709, whenever ayu performs glitter, Kayono, Aki, Chisa and Midoring will dance BESIDE ayu. and only Becky is dancing BEHIND ayu. So Becky is totally blocked by ayu.

Sad to say i think she is kinda the odd one out.

[truehappiness]

Well, she's the newbie.

Usually there are the dancers that Ayu favors over others since she's been working with them for 8-9 years already..

You see this when she had her other dancers in a-nation 03/04.. there were a few standout male ones that were in the place of Shuya/Naoto/Hide/Mitsu.. but later, they rose in the ranks as the older ones left..

[majrakun]

Where did you find the list to the dancers and band members? And if Becky and Kiriko aren't there, that leaves Ayu with 10 dancers, just like AT06 if I'm not mistaken with 6 males and 4 females. And the CDL 07-08 dancers update was useless :/

[truehappiness]

AT06 had Hide and Mitsu though, while now she has Ryoji and Maro added to the males in their absence. Typically, Ayu has one less girl dancer since Ayu herself participates in the routines nowadays.

The list is painted onto the back of the ASIA TOUR 2008 truck.



Strange. It's 6 male dancers with 4 main female dancers and one tissue dancer. Seems like KAERU either participates in the pairs stuff [if there's any in AT08] or a guy gets left out. XD
