It would be great if anyone could share the report of the show!

Hayasaki was twitting and making hype by his impressions saying how each song sounded great xD

And honestly, she looks so much better without the wig.

nothing to wait haha


this outfir changed a little. Didn't find better pictures yet



from yesterday show. Love this photo

[Earth_maiden]

I prefer the wig personally.

[hayasaki]

The show ended some 20 or 30 minutes ago! i'm now at a train station i needed to change lines at. Thanks for the awesome time Jewelian. It was fun meeting you again. I really enjoyed the show. The best concert i've been to vocal-wise ❤️ Will try to write a report.

The wig was nice for this act! But, omg, she is soaked wet! :O

She took out the fringe shoulders and put a black legging instead of the brown tights, no hat and she added gloves instead of the fringe bracelets.

[hayasaki]

There's no double encore today. Audience were allowed to take photos during encore too.

ah that's why twitter flooded with encore photos

[Aderianu]

she is sweating a lot!

[pedronekoi]

I wonder if this venue was very hot and that's why she didn't wore the wig.

[Earth_maiden]

It's summer in Japan and Japanese summers can be really hot, so I'm not surprised she's sweating buckets.

[JEWELian]

was good seeing you too hayasaki!

nope, wasn't hotter than yoyogi inside nihon gaishi hall.

her vocals were amazing tonight, best i've ever seen them. encore was standard minus no MY ALL as double encore. she also sat the whole time while on the trolley for Fly high~UNITE!

the show is great, i didn't really post my opinions the other week as too busy.

it's very simple compared to every other arena tour, but that's fine i think. it works well. would've been nice to have a few rare/less often performed tracks in the setlist, but regardless so many favourites (ourselves, Because of You, Virgin Road, Walk, appears, talkin' 2 myself (!!!!!), Mirrorcle World), and as i said, flawless vocals for a lot of the songs which is great to see.

she's really cutting back performance-wise though - 6 person band (4 musicians) and 12 dancers. shame she keeps increasing her ticket prices while giving less though.

and a few pics from my insta b/c too lazy to hotlink

I'm a little bit worried because ayu was seating. Maybe her knee hurts?

[AyuWorld]

shes been running around the back stage during Insta Live LOL and didnt spot any bandage in the pic, so I think shes fine <3

I seriously think photos should not be taken while she's performing. These photos taken while she's singing dancing don't do her justice. Either that or whoever's taking her ig photos is a great photographer

[primavera♥]

Some of these photos are a bit funny with the bad angles. But she looks like she's genuinely having fun in those too .

I'm glad to hear she is sounding good!

Also glad she took off that wig lol

It was what distinguished her from the other jpop stars.

thats more of how the directors of the pv's want ayu to do. In sparkle pv, it was leslie who was showing ayu how to move her hands and act. And her early pv's, were like they way they were because of how avex was pushing ayu's image as this child like girl, but then she became a woman.

Happy again to hear about good vocals.
