She always is sketching Ayu’s costumes. Even ones she even dreams up. Although I’d love it if her notes could be translated to English

I guess tomorrow's vocals will naturally be a bit worse but I hope they still will be fine/good. The show is less than 2h, so it should be better. Two times that show is pretty much the same as doing one show of AT15. If her voice is stable enough we should be fine.

But based on previous experience I'm afraid her voice won't be in the best shape for recording.
based on her tendencies in previous CDLs, the second out of the three performances risks having the shortest set list.

I imagine the show is starting now in Japan so I hope to hear more reviews here soon.

I think the first show of the day should be soon and the second is yet to happen?

Daytime show starts in like 30-60 mins?

Wow! Her report is very detailed. She nailed the costumes. I'm impressed how she can remember everything so detailed Now reading I also can write a more detailed review. Yesterday I was almost sleepy while writing, please forgive me lol

Spoiler:

01. 23rd Monster - Like the MV. I was impressed how the whole structure just popped up from under the stage
02. We are the QUEENS - Like Trouble Tour
03. Dreamed a Dream - Like a nation. Very energetic
04. Return Road - Epic. The performance was a little weird. Kinda reminds me Mad World in Saigo no Trouble. Dancers was pointing at her and I don't know if laughing or being scared
05. WARNING - As usual
06. (miss)understood - I think it was normal. Just dancers dancing. In the screen they showed her eyes in red and after a lot of people's eyes.
interlude Pray for you - I think here they showed footage from rehearsals
07. Haru yo, koi - Very beautiful. In the screen they showed a sakura tree. Dancers choreo was similar to MV
08. Voyage - Very very beautiful. They add some kind of orchestral part in the middle. I think it was very cool
09. evolution - Like in 2018 Power of Music. They showed the Earth on the screen
interlude Not yet
10. a song is born - As usual
11. progress - Very emotional in the beginning.
12. Mirrorcle World - As usual

ENCORE
13. Life
14. Love song
15. MY ALL
DOUBLE ENCORE
16. TODAY

Encore was as usual but after MY ALL they said goodbye. She came back for TODAY. In the screen they flip the letters from TODAY to TA. It was cute


I think the setlist will be the same. They're gonna release after last concert so I don't see the point in changing but who knows

I’m sitting in my seat now and I’m right behind the monitors for the sound and lights director person. ^^; it’s a pretty sucky place to be seated lol. I hope it’ll be easy to ignore…

*the venue is small though so really even the seats in the back aren’t that far haha

She sounded really good! I was worried with it being the last show and second of the day, but really she did well IMO!

The monitors in front of me weren’t *that* bad but I could definitely see them the whole time lol.

I personally don’t love how the show kinda went for a gothic feel, but it was nice hearing slightly different arrangements for some songs. Return Road was nice but as I was watching the stage, I couldn’t figure out what the “story” for the performance was lol.

Still, I’m glad I could go and it was nice to see her live again!

Edit: I’d say she definitely had some areas where the high notes were hard, but they strategically used the choir and chorus, so it was well handled I think. I’m not sure how that’ll translate to recorded versions though haha. A song is born was maybe the toughest at the higher parts? Today probably had some of the best vocal control at the beginning of the song. Haruyo koi was also done well, and I loved her dress.

^Ahhh, I'm so happy to hear that!!!

Did she struggle with any song? E.g. higher notes etc.

But everything is possible, she can spend money having the mastered video )
