I'd like the documentary to be not so much about the show and the details behind it, but reflecting on Ayu as an artist over the past ten years, or reaching out to show more about the other people who work so hard to make the show work: the dancers, maybe even the band members... I think it'd be really cool if more light was shed on why Ayu sticks with the band members, who seem to be more stable than some of the dancers, and how they've all come to grow over their time on stage with each other.

But even if they don't do a documentary they absolutely MUST include a medley of all the acapella performances, dammit. I demand it >:O

Ayu never has good behind the scenes footage. D: They always show her laughing or eating or something like that, but never the costume design, stage design etcetc.

Anyway, I hope they don't do what they did in AT02 when they overlayed the behind the scenes footage OVER the concert itself. D: Ugh that was terrible.

I just watched AT02 recently and yeah, I thought that was kind of cheap - you want to see the show, especially if you didn't go to the show, and I thought it broke the flow of the songs and the set. Ayu's concerts are typically like shows or stories, or even theatre, and it would be like if all the crew members of a play came out on stage and broke the set down in the middle of a scene. It's jarring lol

^ The thing is that the footage wasn't even very interesting. It was more like them doing the exact same thing as in the concert but without the outfits or audience. XD

I wonder why they don't add english subtitle. they should add so that the footage could be interesting for us.
They show Ayu's rehearsal all the time. that make the documentary boring.

^It wouldn't be profitable to add english subs, since they don't sell to any english speaking countries. They add the chinese for overseas.

best of cdl documentary showed the costumes and how they practiced timing it and stuff...I liked that...cdl 07-08 showed how ayu got to the side stage and from there to the back stage. I would like to see more of those footages in future documentaries. Ayu have some really nice and unique costumes and she have very grand concert stages. I hope they'll show more footages of the designing especially for this year's coz of the flying ship and the carousel.

BTW...did anybody noticed ayu's double wasn't shown in the cdl 07-08 documentary? I don't remember seeing her.

Ayu's double wasn't shown explicitly, but she was shown performing as Ayu in several scenes.

Meh...I want a documentary. I like the NTV interview style that they do with these shows. With all the stuff that's been going on, the behind-the-scene stuff should more a lot more dramatic/interesting than last year's. I want depth, not just random clips of her screaming (though scenes of those would be great too).

The DVD will probably of the Yoyogi finale (I doubt the Jpn people really care to watch a full concert with foreign fans...reactions, etc. wouldn't be the same). But, I'm assuming by then we'll have a new song so they may intercut in a performance of the song? (since she'll probably sing during MC then)

Her double even goes with Ayu in her car. Somehow, I think she's more than a double. I wonder if she has any other roles? Like managing something?

yeah i have seen her double doing jobs that isnt that of a double. She follows ayu wherever she goes during last year's ASIA TOUR. in and out of the airport, to the Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai etc..

basically just observe what the person who has the same hair as ayu is doing.. thats the job of ayu's double..

Ayu can't really see herself from the audience POV while she is rehearsing her performances so she normally uses her "double" to act as her so Ayu can see herself and make improvements on her positioning and such during the performance.

She seems to have other tasks too. In the AT07 documentary DVD you see her throw suggestions out to Shuya on his hand positioning with Ayu during the appears Paso Doble dance (might I add what a lucky bum he is to get to put his hand there). And yea she also follows Ayu around in the overseas airports and the Shanghai temple. I'm guessing shes an advisor to Ayu or something.

So I have a question guys, since the asia tour just ended in japan it means phase 1 just ended and anot she's going overseas, that would be phase 2. So maybe I'm wrong here but last year's tour she did japan, then the rest of asia and then closed in japan right?

I don't have clear this.

^Yes, I believe you are right.
But I don't understand why there is such a big gap between this years Japan concert and the overseas concerts.

maybe she's working on a new single?
