In the video before HANABI, she's on some stairs that's close to the sky. There's no indication what-so-ever that this is a mermaid (other than that there's a "ship"...but so, it's an airship...water is not a theme at all).
Calm down o_O I was talking about Kuu's ningyo themed costume. I thought that was pretty clear from the quotes.. ^^

I think something that struck me a bit from this tour is that she's become a very gesture-kind of singer. What I mean is, she would do hand waves, finger movements, etc etc. to represent the lyrics. (like finger waves to represent 'kira kira shita' in MY ALL...etc etc.) It's not really a bad thing but sometimes I feel like she's overdoing it.
You do know that during MY ALL she's actually doing the choreography w/ the audience and not random finger movements right? ^^

Lol ok ^^

BTW the trailer thing is nothing special.. It mostly shows MY ALL. And the quality is really bad. The vocals aren't very good either, but nothing avex can't fix lol.

Do I even have to answer this question? o_O

And you do know that 'kira kira shita' is NOT in the chorus of the song (where one would do the dance)? (and if you asked the question, then I suppose you missed my point...)

Ayu sounded really good in the clips. ~

The acappella thing is a lot more random than I thought. D:

This is sometimes referred to a mermaid (more commonly, fishtail) dress...perhaps that's what they were referring to.

Well I don't think she does much hand gestures at all so I thought I understood your post wrong and you meant the choreography in the vid, because of course that IS a lot of hand gestures

No no ^^ We were talking about Kuu's ballad dress in her Black Cherry tour... that has a mermaid theme because in the vid before that she kind of turns into a mermaid. But good to know!

Teth has seen AT08 twice. He was at the final live btw. He was talking about the entire performance of MY ALL/other songs.

I think she sounded pretty good; she hit most of the right notes. Sometimes it alwas sounds like the singer is singing "badly" when they have these TV clips, just because of the production and stuff... MY ALL sounded pretty spot on, despite the fact she was crying!

Just to be safe, I'm going to create the fourth thread since this one will probably fill out soon.

The ship looked awesome in the clip, and her singing sounded okay. Can't wait to see the DVD!

You know, Ayu's been wearing the encore shirts really loose-fitting these days.. D:

She used to wear smaller sizes.. [see AT05, AT06]~

And the jeans.. those are not skinny jeans tucked into boots.

Everything she wears is so loose - it's more comfortable.
