ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2018 ～POWER of MUSIC 20th Anniversary ～ [III]

[HilaryDuffFanboy]

After reading all the reports... I am glad I didn't arrange for myself to go... She has performed all these songs before, in the same way as well... I understand not having enough preparation time is a factor, but all three chapters of JtB are better than this...

Set-list wise they definitely were. The only real surprises here were ever free and NEXT LEVEL. I really see this tour as an extension of JTB rather than a stand-alone tour...(with crappy goods lol).

Maybe her staff did watch the Who... fan video we made. LOL. (I still doubt it; it's a super obvious change to make to the lyrics - but funny nonetheless)

[dreamalley]

Are there any audio clips of BRILLANTE?

People are complaining about sad/dramatic songs but tbh i do prefer that. I hate a super fun-happy LALALALA concert. I also wish that we have more rockish songs like Microphone, decision or even M (from PoM2011)

Well the thing is those rock songs are also very energetic at least and they were missing from this tour for the most part as well. I’m not overly disappointed with it because I was lucky enough to experience so many of them during Jtb but they would definitely help bring this tour up another level.

[kinix]

There people are complaining about recycled stuffs and here I am, hoping to see M (POM version) and it didn't happened... shdn't count SEASONS as repeated from POM as it was the jazz version during POM. Overall, it was a enjoyable concert regardless of the 'short' setlist (do note that her older concert were even shorter!). Only preferred her to tone down her drama actions. I really think she still can sing very well if she was less dramatic with her performance. And I doubt any lipsync or auto tune was applied to the concert (cos someone always went to watch her perf and complained about this!).

[voltron]

I'm curious to see how/if this tour will change - she has such gaps between dates that she certainly has time to make changes if she wanted to. However, with so few dates currently listed, it doesn't seem likely that there will be huge changes - it wouldn't really make financial sense, especially if she's not selling out these shows. I'm sure the finale dates will have some changes, but that's to be expected.

I hope she does not cut Mad World or Ever Free, but I'm fine with any of the other songs changing (or not). By the time I see her in Fukuoka, I hope she can make at least some small changes that she feels makes it a better show.

What strikes me as odd about some of the tour commentary though - I understand JtB was a very long, grueling tour with multiple parts. However, it's not like being on tour took 100% of her time up every day. Conceptually, this tour should have been in progress for the last year. No, she didn't have a ton of time to rehearse for it - that much is true - but she could've been working on things like stage props, costumes, setlist, etc. well in advance until it was something she felt good about.

[roxaskh2fm]

Maybe this gap is for changing songs. Every date a few changes and that's the "power of music". XD

[attractive nausea]

I've been listening to some songs from PoM 2011 today and what makes me like those new arrangements are mostly the brass instruments lol Why ayu, why did you chose to only go with 6 people with strings this time.

I doubt there will be huge changes for Nagoya dates, but maybe we can hope for further dates.
