IIRC that was the first show. Those tend to be PACKED.

No wonder..when I watched her show at Nagoya (back in 2012) she said that she really love Nagoya peoples. I find that they are very energetic as well. When I watched this year live recording that posted on Instagram...from Tokyo show or Osaka show, I feel that the audience is really calm. But from what I remember Nagoya audience is energetic and not calm at all.

Sometimes even fans seem bored during the concert lol, i don't know if it's because japanese fans are so used to see her every year that they don't really care anymore or because they don't fancy showing their emotions much, maybe a combination of both.

Summer Love dance was so simple and funny, i never got to learn the MY ALL dance beforehand so i was so confused and i gave up quickly lol

Or maybe some are bored during songs they don´t like.

[attractive nausea]

^ The few people i have in mind did look bored during the whole concert though.

[rainbow_smile]

I was sitting next to a girl who literally spent 80% of the concert browsing her phone

I think that sometimes when there is a performance involved for a slower song they don't really show they care much, but in the end do applaud in a way that tells you they liked it.

The Osaka crowd was really energetic on the 18th though.

Maybe Ayu should perform some different songs instead of the same songs..I guess after 15 years there's only so many times you can get hyped about another performance of Evolution.

[truehappiness]

The thing is... the different songs are the ones that the crowd gets super bored during.

Yet everyone including myself gets hyped when evolution starts. It's the same with Boys&Girls and other staple songs even I rarely listen to these days. It's the atmosphere these songs create that people like. I skip them nearly all the time on DVDs though.

I think that the last few years ayu has been doing more songs from after the (m)u era so it's not like she is performing the same things over and over. She used to perform Trauma and Independent so often before 2005, Unite and Audience too, she seems to have stopped so we are getting STEP you, Until that Day... and perhaps WARNING more often...

Except people were way more bored during, for example, BRILLANTE, than stuff like evolution.

But I'm guessing that's just the way people watch ballad performances. I mean, how are you supposed to look during these? It's not the type of songs where you jump and scream out of excitement. And not everyone cries so easily during all the sad songs. Having a straight face doesn't necessarily mean that you're bored.

In switzerland it's kinda frustrating at concerts sometimes cause it's just like the first 2 standing rows that are super hyped and the rest are just standing there doing nothing... I was once a bit further back and me and my friend were the only 2 people back there that weren't recording with their phone or just standing there, it felt a bit awkward lol. I'd be freaking pumped to see BRILLANTE

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Her newer songs just aren't well known. But she can't only sing well known songs.

XOXO and Lelio were also pretty dead, compared to other (classic) songs. And for uptempo songs it's more awkward imo lol.

You & Me was quite popular at the time, so that gets a good reaction.

Personally, unless Brilliante is performed as a huge luxe showstopper, it's quite boring live. I'm glad she's stopped "singing" Last angel for the same reason. It's an awkward song for a concert. Slow fast slow fast talking singing talking... Hard for me to get into.

Yeah...You & Me and glitter seemed to be a lot more popular. The younger audience does seem to like Lelio.

That cake is so cool <3

[pedronekoi]

I love those cake designs hahah

I'm from Brazil, so the crowd here is just so energetic and crazy that sometimes it's annoying. When I went to Ayu's concert last year I was really surprised with the crowd because everyone was soooo calm. But I was so crazy jumping and singing together that somehow people next to me get crazy too hahah I remember when "The Show Must Go On" started and everyone was just waving their lights and I was screaming soooo much when I first heard the first music notes haha But overall people were excited but really polite.

I don't know if someone already posted this but they broadcasted the Osaka final tour at the shelter that Ayu went the other day. It's such a cute way of giving joy to everyone who suffered because of the earthquake.
