HAHAHAHA jedward was there?!??! Holy ... I wish I was there. They're hilarious.
I'm shocked that they're Ayu fans. I really didn't see that coming.

-----

yay for Sparkle, APPEARS, evolution, ladies night, surreal, Love Song, boys&girls!
but putting in one song from LS does not make it HOTEL LOVE SONGS.........
seriously.....
um.. I think with the obviously muted response from The next LOVE and eyes, smoke, magic, that Ayu may very well change the setlist as she's done before! Well, at least I hope so.

but the next LOVE and ESM ARE songs made to be performed and Ayu wrote them specially from a point of view. its definitely songs she wants to sing and get the point across. So..i think she'll keep them. they are too special (whether for the gd or bad) to be left out

Are the pink/black leopard shirts the tour t shirts? It doesn't look like they have any writing on them....

I look at it this way - it's a new concept. This tour isn't based off last year's original idea - that's what this past CDL was for. PQ is an album filled with love songs, and this concert is about the hotel entitled love songs. Inside the hotel is filled with stories about love, and that's where the songs come in. That's how I took a look at it, anyway.

^ I actually never thought of it that way.
I really like that idea... I think I just came off bitter because I loved LS.. haha.. but I like both albums.
thanks for enlightening me

Very disappointed with the setlist. I've been wanting to see Love Songs since the album came out. She should have changed the title to Hotel Party Queen. And if it really is a rehash of the last CDL, then that sucks cause that was my least favorite Ayu show. Oh, well, I've got tickets to the Yokohama show - hopefully this time it will be better.

^didnt you already went for the CDL???..
and now, all she is lacking is Like a doll, crossroad, blossom...so...

edit: im imagining if she acutally inserted do it again after Return Road...i think it would mean quite a lot...that she wants to redo stuff and well, Return..and both songs have epic atmospheres so that section would totally be amazing

Argh okay setlist, could do without Happening Here...would have preferred Last Angel and Like A Doll instead of the Chicago crap in the middle.

At this point, I think I need to go to a CDL ... I need her to sing more classics and stick to the basics!

Little disappointed without Like a doll. But so glad she has a new set list.

If we got "like a doll" tonight and the other parts remain the same as CDL.
Dramatic AHS gonna kill ayu
So it's lucky we got something new.

She only performed a few songs from Love Songs at the CDL. Plus I was hoping to see what the original concept for the tour was, along with the tour goods as well. But everything got Party Queenified. That's not bad actually, but since the title is Hotel LOVE SONGS its really kinda like false advertising.

I'm about 3/4 the way through CDL and I have to say that it is not a rehash. Rehashed on the surface maybe. Costumes and sets are reused, but there's a deeper darker image and there is an actually story line. Its a totally different feel. Ayu did some of the darkest most honest things on stage tonight that imo make this tour worth it. And there is a reason it is still Hotel love Songs. The original hotel love songs came from the fact that Ayu was mainly traveling with Mannie and staying in hotel rooms. But now after the divorce, she is singing the songs of Party QUeen as they are most present, but relating it to the hotels. The original concept would not be honest to Ayu because that concept was predivorce. Think back to the I am... covers and how those got changed. I'm tired and bambling so i know this might not make sense. But seeing the actual tour may open your eyes. But I tend to look at the glass half full.

Also during the Party Queen performance, the title on the overhead LEDs switches from Hotel Love Songs to Party Queen, and then after LOVE appears on stage. Considering the dark moment of the Party QUeen song mentioned earlier, there really is a deeper connection between the new look onto Hotel Love SOngs and Party Queen. Like Ayu has Love in her fans, her family, etc. There is alot of thought and interpretation to this tour. I think this is her most concept based, over-arching story line, and deepest tour since Dome Tour.

^ Yeah, I am interested in seeing what these darker moments are at least.

Even though I'm not the most pleased with the set list, I still wish I could see the show.

#Ijustcant.... She only included one song from Love songs, at this point why not change the tour name into ARENA TOUR 2012 ~Party Queen @Hotel~. It's good that she's including songs from Party Queen, but she's missing some from Love songs as well. Like if she include crossroad, blossom, and Like a doll onto the setlist then I'll shut up.

Why do so many people like "Like a doll"? It's such a painfully mediocre song (and TK's cheap sounding arrangement doesn't help at all). I will concede though that "Eyes Smoke Magic" is one of my least favourite songs on that setlist. If I could replace it with something from Love Songs I'd probably opt for Do It Again or crossroad

There will be endless pages of most people feeling let down with the set list. Maybe a few not. But from goods to set list, this is not Hotel Love Songs. It is Hotel Party Queen. I guess now we just have to get over our shock and deal with it, until or if they change the set list like POM.

The feeling of disappointment does suck though...
