The costume and her style looks even better in motion!

So she's back to using extensions for her hair? Heh. She looks so much better with longer hair.

I loving that she's keeping her hair long. She looks soO much better with long hair. n her outfit rocks! Great setlist as well!

just perform 'evolution'?

nice costume, simple but i liked it ^^ matching with thats event ^^

Sounds like she sang very well!!! I did wish for some heavy rock songs, but a pop summer setlist makes sense as well.

I really love her outfit. Ayu rocks ponytails. :luv2

I actually hate the setlist bahahaha

and her outfit. But she looks good.

I know people stated good reasons about the setlist, but still I'm not a really fan of it :shrug.
Although I'd like to see HANABI -episode II- :heart

Also the outfit is amazing :luv2 and yay for ponytail!

She looks so great! Agh.... I wonder if this sort of look is what we should expect from the next release?

Well... this looked more like a female sexy version of kishidan's classic outfit... x,x

Are they supposed to be dressed like Oendan?

Well, I know that, haha. But the general feel... with the slicked back ponytail and 'powerful' look.

@ExodusUK
Well, their outfits tend to be based on japanese school uniforms to fit the Bōsōzoku... I believe the Oedan outfit fits it.

Kishidan's hit songs "One Night Carnival" and "Zoku" were featured in Nintendo's Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, and Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2, respectively, which are games about ouendan (cheer squads). The song "One Night Carnival" (a cover version) is even used for a level that was inspired by one of Kishidan's live performances. Coincidentally, the characters wear long gakuran coats and dance like Kishidan. The dancing style is based on actual ouendan cheering routines, and long gakuran coats are often worn by ouendan cheer teams. It is possible that Kishidan's lively and powerful dance routines were inspired by the tradition of ouendan cheering, a subject that is unique to Japanese culture.

@truehappiness Well... the powerful look is a constant for a while now, isn't it? Or at least, everytime she is doing something rockish or upbeat.
