Uh, fairyland and monochrome? I think that's about it unless you miss Love song too, lol.

Looking at the setlists; NEVER EVER, UNITE!, and ASFXX were also removed. Ayu, please put them in the "MC" disc~

^ Love song ROCKED it. It was some kind of... "acoustic" version, but at the same time, very rockish and powerful. It was Ayu + Enrique + YO-chan only, if I remember well..

I would be so happy that if they decided to put in monochrome in the "MC" disc, I would probably die... A bit at least.

Like this Thalia live after 1:35



Samba has a few subgenres, I don't really know them into deep, but those are some samba songs, both traditional and more experiemental:







Nothing like Vogue...
ahaha thank you those salsa samba and bossa nova got mixed in my head now thank to Ayu


she really needs to put all the new arrangment songs in the DVD

PS: i love Thalia too!! thanx for the vid

Isn't the pink dress she weard for the songs with Urata und Juno the one, she also weared for the Premiere of the R'N'R Tour in 3D in Cinema... I think it was in HongKOng?
And by the way.. I totaly dislike the arrangements with the Saxophones and the Trompets. I prefer the nornal one's.

These new arrangements are absolutely amazing. And I hope from now on, she will have orchestra (strings, brass, woodwind) at all her concerts...

The new arrangements were really amazing and all the songs got an epic instrumental performance.
But i think everyone is overrating Ayu's vocals. They were good in some parts of the concert, but overall they were as always. I really disliked M vocally. They were good in vogue~far away~SEASONS and forgiveness, but that acapella intro was one of the most embarrasing and ridiculous moments ever

That acapella intro belonged to Ayu's best vocal performances ever. Don't mistake the weird sound singing acapella on a mic in a big hall will make for a bad performance.

^ I don't think that was Ayu's best performance ever xD. It was probably one of the bests since 2008, but any performance before sounded better. And in my opinion the chorus lacked of power

I didn't write best, I wrote one of the best. She got a handful performances that beat this - all before her hearing went too bad. It sounded better than anything not recorded at the 2005 and 2003 a-nations and AT05 pretty much. And an acapella is always much harder than singing the song with music so it was quite impressive. Better than the A Museum A Song for XX acapella though forgiveness is a much harder song.

You have to consider that a) forgiveness is one of Ayumi's hardest songs, a song she wasn't even able to sing well when she released it, a song that goes out of her natural range and her range is smaller now than it was before, and b) this is an unedited performance that starts off in a way that you hear every tiny flaw and has a bad mix. Yet this performance was almost flawless vocally(not completely perfect but few people in pop could sing this song better) until she went a bit flat towards the end. And how the hell should she have sung the chorus with more power? o.0 Look at the melody, it's not one you can sing much more powerfully without sounding ridiculous. The reason this didn't sound powerful enough to you probably is the mix rather than her actual vocals.

i just heard forgiveness..i honestly ADORE the softer parts and also wish she didnt sound so strong on some of the higher notes..I know she wants to show the power of the song and the song is extremely powerful but some of her words..like her "a"s and "o"s and "yeah"s sounded a lil harsh and flat to me..if she would lighten the force i think it would sound much better.
but that arrangement was so beautiful..i could feel the emotions from just that performance alone. the music. the voice.

I also think that forgiveness was one of her best performances ever.
It was simply stunning the way she handled the notes and everything! The acapella beginning was awesome, even with the broken english it sounded so beautiful.

If you watch ayuready when she performed Forgiveness, she was spot on. This tour is her best vocally, but Forgiveness was kind of a let down... The acapella is good, but not as good as the A Song for XX from A Museum. And yeah, you are definitely right. A bad mix ruins great vocals.

OK I haven't seen that forgiveness performance at ayuready so I can't judge it. But I definitely see this one above the others I've seen except for a-nation 03. But a-nation 03 was probably her best vocal performance overall in my opinion so...yeah.
What I really disagree on is the A Song for XX acapella being better. She hit the notes better but it also was much, much easier. The forgiveness acapella is really, really hard though. I'm surprised she even decided to sing it acapella at all.

That recording of forgiveness acapella a few pages back was just so beautiful. I'm a little late but only just listened to it.
