I think that the next LOVE and Eyes, Smoke, Magic can be great on stage if she performs them like in a musical, that way non japanese people can also understand the lyrics of the songs because usually these kind of songs are performed directly. Like a theatheric perfomance of what the songs are. (well, musicals lol).
If ayu does what is written in the songs.

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.
This... The CDL was already darker than what expected by the concert name and the album its come from (Being Love Songs an album about finding love and getting married, I though it was kinda odd that no love story on the CDL had a happy ending), and since Party Queen is kinda the aswer album to Love Song, telling the story of a girl who can't find love cuz she doesn't believe in it, I think the Hotel Love Songs gives everything a whole new layer of sarcasm...

Oh.. for appears. I'm also surprised. I also thought, she would sing Moon oder Fated again in the concert.
But ok.. why not an older song.

I'm hope, we can see pics of the costumes soon. (^.^)

The feeling of disappointment does suck though...
Not only that, but perhaps avex wants her to push/market the album (Party Queen).

I like the one with her + shuya, the nanana/jacket costume, and bellhop outfit!

though I'm surprised the tour t shirts are just plain leopard print... with nothing on the front. Is there anything on the back?

Actually her tour outfits have been rather good with ups and downs, but the last two years pretty much the vast majority of outfits were really bad.

Nevertheless I can't wait to see the tour! TBH I wanted her to sing more classics as this will be my first time attending, but it's fine this way. It's awesome she is singing appears, Love song and STEP you. I'd prefer if do it again was still there though. Happening here was totally needless >_> and I am saying that regardless of the fact it was made for the tour. The tour was originally made for Love songs so considering she axed almost all the Love songs, I don't see what made her keep Happening Here.

This is probably her first concert in a while to have one overarching storyline. Who'd have thought she would go so dark in this concert? I guess this may have been the original vision but with Party Queen songs instead of Love songs ones?

Considering Love Songs album theme, the concept and it's flow, I guess she was going for a very bright vision... This is most likely the Love Songs meets divorce version
