FIERCE BABY FIERCE!

OH, WOW :luv2

No band? Did she use instrumental versions like Namie?

I think the camera added few more pounds on her..

Love it, but No band?? Shocking

I remember reading in a review or two that the band only was there for a few songs.

Yes, that's right. Only Timmy was some more songs on stage. But not long also.
Most of the time only Ayu and some dancers.

She used the different levels a little bit, but not extensively. And she mostly used a backing track for music and vocal.

not sure if its been mentioned but how did she do with the Real me choreo? I could see her killing it seeing as she is in amazing shape!

Loving the costume.:luv2
It gives me a rock n roll goddess vibe.:yes

There is the band members on the ballad part... But after that the band went to the backstage..

Yes, exactly.

Also, I don't recall different stage levels in Sapporo... If there were different levels, I didn't notice them, because she isn't really using them. Most of the the time she just stood in the front.

And she did the Real me choreography very nicely! One of my favorite moments from the show :)

To be honest I hate it when artists don't use a live band. I don't need the dancers, but a live band is essential for me.

May be is just me: I feel like, a live concert without live band is like fish-&-chips without chips at side.

^^ I agree with you both. I was slighty irritated that all of her dancers were there throughout most of the concert , but the band only for two songs.

My gosh... who is responsible of her styling? Wtf man. Well, at least it looks like she has a D-cup right now.

I don't mind if the band was not there for.. like Real me or whatever, but for the ballads it would have definetely more intimate.

I don't mind her not using a band, it's nice that she's trying out something new
Bur wayyy too many dancers on stage, 5 would be enough.

I totally agree, I hate it too! Especially in Ayu's case where it feels like we know the band. But hopefully it's just a one off for this tour.

Does anyone know the setlist of 19th and 20th night ?

wich month? %) October at the first post
tour is over, only one additional show left

The band adds something special to her concerts because they always try to change something in the melody of the songs, so it's not like you're listening to the "(Instrumental)" version of it.
