From rongvsayumi!

what a great set list! I'd anticipated 23rd Monster or Dreamed a Dream as the opener because they both fit the bill so well.

hope she sounded great and stay sounding great for the remaining shows. can't wait to see reports and costume photos

[summerain]

If this set list is correct, Pray for You is just an instrumental live interlude? hahaha

[RealLight]

Setlist is short af but yay for (miss)understood!

Let's see how long it lasts before she decides to axe it :')

[Xianghua]

I was thinking today that performing boys & girls would be awkward since the audience isn’t allowed to sing. I see she didn’t do it so I’m guessing that’s why :’D

[AyuCanada]

So Pray for you is an instrumental interlude?

I didn´t know that Covid needs 2+ hours to infect other ppl

^ Afaik you need to change your mask every 2 hours, and doing it in a crowd wouldn't be the best idea, I imagine

Then they would have to include the time getting into the arena and waiting for the performance to start, and usually entry and start is another hour

Saw two foreign fans at the member page, Javy and Alvaro.. I wonder if they are on AHS!

Yes! That's me and my boyfriend hahaha

I just came home and relaxed a bit. I'll try to write some highlights from what I remember. I'll put on spoiler just in case someone prefer to wait until stream

Spoiler:

The concert started with the Daybreak video with the hands. I literally gagged when I saw my hand on the screen. Like... full circle lol. 23rd Monster was like the music video, with the huge TV prop.

I almost had a heart attack when Return Road began. I really hope she keeps in the setlist because it sounds amazing live. I always said that song would be amazing with a real choir and not just Timmy. Btw there was no band, just strings and choir.

Pray for you was just an interlude with the choir, like the instrumental she uploaded months ago. She trolled us

She got really emotional in the first verses of progress

In the end she screamed arigatou without microphone just like she used to do. And when we entered the venue there were postcards in every seat with a message from Ayu. They said: Dear TA Members. Finally we met again

It was a very good concert. I love the setlist. Never expected she would sing Return Road or (miss)understood. She sounded great though the sound in the place was not very good, I think. Hope to see pictures soon!

[!Lawi!]

This set list has to be fake, it looks more like a wishlist ahahah!
Dying to see 23rd Monster live, the energy must be so good! And Return road + (miss)understood??? Fantastic!

Thanks for the review yabieru, sounds like it was a good concert!

hate her

Thanks for the review!

[YayOu]

Thanks yabieru for your feedback !! So much good vibes for this live

[truehappiness]

I think Pray for you will still be a full song considering the length and the 'debut' that was supposed to happen last CDL but.. I dunno if it was pushed back or what.

Maybe she''ll sing it with lyrics just at the last show. Or maybe we are delusional

thank you for your review! glad you seem to have had a great time

I think the possibilities of her axing Return Road are slim, just because the show is kind of about "return" hope I'm right about this

anyways, I just realised that there will be two shows today :O I hope she doesn't exert herself too much at the cost of her voice again

Imagine if she cuts the setlist because of 2 shows per date?
But based on previous experience I'm afraid her voice won't be in the best shape for recording.

yabieru, thank you for the review. It felt like I was teleported to the venue for a moment.
