They're apparently selling CDL goods at the venue as well.

I think Ayu should have kept some the Love songs' songs from CDL (and added ones that were not ), and then added Party Queen songs. So, something like:

Happening here ('cause you know she would keep it anyway )
reminds me
Like a doll
appears
Shake it<3
STEP you
NaNaNa
Sparkle
the next LOVE
Eyes, Smoke, Magic
MOON
crossroad
Return Road
Ladies Night
Party Queen
SURREAL ~evolution~ SURREAL
Love song

Encore
Sweet Season
Letter
November
how beautiful you are

But, I'm happy with the setlist she's chosen, it seems really coherent (unlike my own).

I'm not surprised Love songs album not performed, because it's been done for CDL1112, more or less, we've already seen Love songs in CDL1112, so i guess for this tour, it's about Party Queen album which is fitted with the HOTEL theme fortunately.

Then she really should have kept the title HOTEL Love Songs for the CDL only and have a brand new title for this tour imo. Like HOTEL Party Queen instead if she still wanted to do the hotel theme.

I had a kick ass time at my first Ayu live. I do not think anything was as fun as mine/the entire audience reaction to when appears started and also when she came out in her Shake it/Step you outfit. A fun as hell night with a very deep/dark but fun Ayu tour thats quite different from the last ones.

In addition to tour original interludes they used cup of tea and serenade in A minor.

Oh NaNaNa.. BLeh.. and Ladies night is not a good live song, imo, but besides that the setlist looks good.

^You'd be surprised. I am not fond of Shake it but when it was performed live it was kick ass. The audience loved it. Nanana was amazing too, the lighting design was as always top notch and we got some Next Level super lasers during Nanana and Party Queen!! (My seats were directly across the stage so I got the perfect view of them)
I was a huge fan of her sexy/kawaii shake it/Step you outfit and hair, and I LOVED her Return Road dress. In fact, I was happy with all the outfits and hair, especially her first wig (bangs and long ponytail).
She did something really interesting during the Party Queen performance, (not sure if it was mentioned) but before the last chorus, all the lights stopped, and ayu sang the chorus of Party queen but "I am the lonely queen, I am the lonely queen" with a funeral organ accompianing her. Then it suddenly went back to the normal Party Queen with all the dancing and lights. Like I said, there was some dark stuff here. the interlude videos were VERY dark, with her getting beaten by Shuya/getting into physical fights. (Shuya was in a hotel room with Ayu). Then another interlude video with Shuya (or maybe it was Maro in this one) Waking up in the hotel bed, leaving Ayu and going to cheat on another women. You could hear a pin drop in the stadium when the interlude was over. And then appears started playing and we all went wild!!

Yeah I am exhausted haha But like I said, the sexy/kawaii outfit and hair is gonna be a favorite! We all went wild for it!! And the Party Queen part was very freaky and dark but I LOVE that kind of stuff, it brought depth and an overreaching storyline to the entire concert. There was a nice flowing theme throughout the show.

Her vocals were really good! I mean not perfect - the usual semi-difficulty with lower notes - but good like they have been lately.

lol Where did they sell CDL goods at? I saw none at the official stands. Just some at the fake goods stand, anyway

Aahhh, it was so good! I'll post pics w/ a better review but yeah. Can't wait for tomorrow

And she had one SUPER cute mess up. During boys and girls, it was one of the dance breaks but she started singing the chorus! But she stopped herself and started laughing. She collapsed next to Yoochan and they did a gomen bow haha

I'm really looking forward to see more about this tour now I was not very interested as much before because I thought, "meh, it's gonna be like the CDL with some songs added or changed", but it seems much more interesting now!

I hope this makes people buy the album, since it seems to be giving meaning and strength to the songs.

I guess ayu can best express her feelings through performing, and the songs are just her tools to express how she feels

^Yup! I am just watching the CDL live now and while the stage and alot of things are similar there are a ton of new outfits and an new overall story and feel. there is some deep stuff here. It might not be as "epic" feeling as My Story, Secret, and Rock n Roll circus tour, but its new and fresh imo
