The concert started a few hours earlier today.

Were there no 14th anniversary celebrations?

I can't wait for the film !

Anything special during MC?

Sparkle and Ladies Night/Party Queen reminds me of last CDL. Same costumes.. or?
The short pink wig don't looks good. He could use her real hair for that instead of the wig.
I totaly dislike the free cheests of the dancers with t he first costumes. It don't looks good I think.
But her real hair is longer now.. that's good.

oricon news on 14 anniversary
http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/music/2009862/full/

they ended the concert early so that the staff can go party themselves o.O

I'm pretty sure she messed up during "appears" tonight. During the last chorus, I think she sang the wrong one, cause she suddenly stopped (and I could tell something was off) and then the background singers kept going.

Also we have a new background singer? It's not the middle-aged one from CDL and last night. It's a younger lady. Forgot the name.

I was a bit surprised with the lack of 14th anniversary celebration stuff. Like, I've seen on past documentaries when staff would pass out the lyrics to the chorus of "poker face"... no one did that today. There was no announcement to sing "poker face". like, Ayu came out, said good job to the dancers for the "DANCE CORNER!!", and then the chorus of "poker face" began. I think people were a bit shocked, and no one really sang 'til the end. They did a bunch of group photos, though.

I think Ayu shed a few tears during the end of "reminds me" and the beginning of "Tell me why". She looked like she was trying to keep the tears in, anyway.

Also, I think there was a bit of a dress malfunction during "Return Road". Last night, at the end of the song, Ayu and Shu-Ya switched places - Ayu back to the main stage to look at the dancers, and Shu-Ya would uncover his face and stare at Ayu. Tonight, Ayu was holding the back of her dress, but after the song was over, she was sent down at the center stage. (I also remember the colors the top of the dress would switch to - light blue, dark blue, dark purple, pink, dark blue again, black, white, red... I think that was it, in order as well.)

Other than that, the crowd was more energetic tonight. Still a bit quiet, but not as much as last night. They responded a bit better to the jazz section. Ayu was a bit more energetic and feeling it tonight as well. She really belted out "reminds me" tonight, which she didn't quite do last night. She sang a few songs better tonight than she did last night, and a few songs worse tonight than she did last night. But, I never expect Ayu to be "A+ perfect" and nonetheless, she did an amazing job.

lol And the concert tonight was a bit longer than last night's, but only because the MC was a few minutes longer. Still surprised at a lack of MC, but we'll see how future songs go.

The setlist looks amazing. I can't wait for the Dvd... the release will no doubt be next year.... :'(

^^ thanks for the review! I'm glad to hear that audience was more energetic this time.

They weren't like "OMG AYUUUUUUUUUUU"...well, a lot were, but I think a lot went yesterday, so they knew what to expect and how to react today. They were actually waving their glowsticks/fans around a bit during the jazz section instead of just standing around or sitting down like last night, aha.

I wonder how the Yokohama shows will go. A lot of people go to Saitama, Yokohama, and Yoyogi during the tours, so I can't wait to hear reports of the audience from the Yokohama shows (and hopefully the Yoyogi shows, if she adds dates to those!!).

the outfits are incredibly ridiculous. because the clothes is too childlish? she doesn't look good imo, like a mature woman dressed in her 5 year old daughter clothes for birthday

I pray for Yoyogi! :thud

sad to hear about this
the tour not started yet and あゆ already forgetting the lyrics for the most of the songs...

LOL.

Yes, I find it a bit unusual she's had potentially one messup on each show... but really, last night she started to sing when she wasn't supposed to during "Boys&Girls" and I'm not 100% sure on the messup during tonight's "appears" but I'm pretty sure she did mess up.

That's not most songs - just one song. Per show. And last night's was an adorable mess up where she and the audience were laughing.

i think she looks great with all the different pink wig :P not so much love for the hair for the sparkle song thou.
the outfits r lovely :) especially the opening outfit. loves!

I love ayu's mess ups. I love CDL06-07 because there's like, 3. :love

She did mess up appears. She even commented at the end about the appears -special version- or something like that, haha, and laughed about it.

LOL :D .The sparkle wig looked much more fake than these and I didn't have any problems with it. People can have their opinion but, seriously, I just don't get it why it is so shocking.. She has used wigs from her earlier years to this day: concert tour 2000, dome tour, in PVs (TO BE f.exmpl). She has used extensions & fake hair (during endless sorrow dome, f.exampl) etc. :shrug

lol I was zoned out during a bit of her talking. And I'm glad I didn't imagine her messup during "appears". I've got a really bad cold and since no one had brought up that particular flub yet, I thought I imagined it ^^;

3? I remember only independent


I was the one who hate rollin' / Sparkle wig xD but now I think that in the video it looks awsome
