I can't wait for concert updates :) I hope she adds stuff to the set list!

Oh, if I was dripping with money I'd purchase it at the auto-buy price of 200,000 yen. Never gonna happen, but I can dream. :D

For you and everybody else that love Ivy, there's a topic with the audio of the performance here:

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=116856

if i could i would effing pay for that!

Can`t wait to see more dates added :)

what's the date of that show?

So did anyone go to the Nagoya show?

What's the 17th song? (where it's YOU, SEASONS in Saitama)

I think it says May 15th on the ticket

Is there any way I could buy tickets for any of the Yoyogi shows? Can anyone help me, please? Because I'm planning to come to Tokyo this July and I really really want to see Ayu...

I'm trying to go to yoyogi also!

Today, it was YOU again ! And Ayu was very very very great tonight !

^Aww you went to Nagoya?

Nice!! :)

Yes... but my way back to France is getting very very very close.... (T_T)

Did she dress something x-rated to perform A song for xx and Memorial Address?
How come no picture on the Internet for these two songs?

yeah..i'm thinking about her a song for xx costume

Ohh really?? It would be really nice if we could meet up ^^

Or her costume for A Song For XX kills the cameras.

Ayu sing ever free or its only a music interlude?
(i hear in recorded after Sakura)

I've seen this answered many times.
No, she has not sung "ever free". It is just the recording being played.

Her costume quite looks like a mix between the one for Rule on 2009 and the one for A song for XX in 2008

I'd love that~! How are you going to be getting tickets?

I am not sure yet. Probably from Yahoo Auctions Japan with the help of a middleman suggested by OyTony ^^

Still similar setlist with the first two shows. I'm still hoping for additions or even total change of everything.

One can dream, I suppose.

Ha-ha.

I probably will go to Yoyogi too!

Cool! Maybe we could exchange contact information so that we can meet at Yoyogi?

Where are you planning to get tickets? ^^

wait her close friend passed away ??!! :thud do you know who ?

I have read that it was her personal driver...

Oh, I have seen the picture posted by EngerizE of the LIVE performance of SAKURA... Is it normal that there are some empty seats not being totally filled up?

Or is it because it's the first few concerts, and that's why not all the seats are taken up?

btw, LICO-chan aka HIDE (before) is back joining ayu's dance troupe according to the latest A BEST LIVE Blog entry by midori
she's back joining the others female dancers, interesting.

Where can I see this pic?

I guess she would not do Untitled ~For Him~, tho?

Anyway RIP.

She is such a nice person, she cares everyone who she knows.

There are always empty seats. Most of the blame goes to the scalpers and especially the resellers who buy up all the tickets so they can overcharge for them and then not every seat gets taken. If every seat sold at it's normal price directly to those planning to attend instead of resellers and scalpers, maybe the arenas would still fill up.

can you please post the photo i didn't find it

Aw, what's that arena half empty? =(
I thought at least with the tour Ayu was still kind of popular! Unless it's, as someone says, a problem of resellers and stuff.
Anyway, I'm sad to see it, and for a "best tour"! =C

That's true. Some seats end up not being sold at Yahoo auctions and reseller stores.

i'm sure that bc that was before the show started

i believe the picture taken before the show start...

so it's not full yet...

when i attend her show...i think it's 99% full

Oh... the picture i am referring is actually the one posted by EngerizE.

Cause the picture is quite huge, and when i scroll down to the audience seats ( the ones that is closer to the stage), could see some empty seats....

It looks to me it is like kinda... um, ard 90% occupied? I thought the reasons might be because this is the first few concerts held, and most people would want to catch the final one instead... (cause in ayumi's concert DVD, the seats seems fully occupied)

^The picture taken by EnergizE it's from before the concert started... The lights are even on.

cant wait for Tell All perfomance!!

Well, I'm relieved the arena is not half empty! U_U
I've always been certain that, even with the drops in sales, the Ayu tours were still doing good. Like MadonnaXD

^ yeah
Can't wait for next week's setlist. ♥

Some more outfit pictures^^
http://i44.tinypic.com/fcnm0.jpg

^She changed the You & Me outfit with a more yellowish one + a hat. tbh I loved the old one with the headband :laugh
And still no pic of the opening costume, eh? Wonder why

The outfit for You & Me has definitly changed for Nagoya !

She was wearing a pink short and a pink headband with like a destroyed t-shirt with bright colors !

i love the headband but i love the cap too as it reminded me of 2006 tour, she wore cap during encore in MC part :love

EDIT: is it just me,? i see shes gained weight since the beginning of this tour lol, her thigh looked a bit bigger xD

^Yeah it seems she gained weight lol I remember in the past she sometimes looks so fluffy or slim when she tours.

I guess the hat doesn't match her costume tbh headband is better :)

Yay, I like more this new You&Me outfit! <3
Really hope to see some changes in the setlist soon.

Is it just me or is the second dress, that should be the one during M, a bit different?

yeah AT09, AT08 and a-nation 08 where it was obvious that she gained weight, and she looked chubby, her arms and cheek looked fuller LOL

yeah i saw it too

Maybe the lights making the M dress turned a bit purplish? White dresses can easily change color just by lighting right? I remember AT05 GAME dress that I thought she had a white one and a pink one at first XD

Yeah it seems she gained weight! And haha I agree the hat doesn't match the costume.

i thought it was just me that saw that hahahah

When she gained weight her face tends to go rounder and has chubbier cheeks, her thigh looks a bit bigger than usual as well :laugh

I thought when I saw her chubbier on TV I was like, "Does she eat ice cream everyday?" lol

On the 31st, when I bought my tickets for CDL12-13 they had about 20 tickets still in the case after I bought one. I doubt they got sold, as they were asking for 45,000 yen a piece for the arena seats, or 9000 yen for second level stand seats. So I think its highly likely that many tickets go unsold because of re-sellers.

^If tickets are unsold due to resellers, that's kinda bad! Btw which reseller shop did you go to in Tokyo?

^The one in Harajuku on Takeshita street.

I went to the same shop 2 hrs before the concert start
and there were only 2 tickets left
they actually decrease the price every 1 hr

I forget to talk about two sentenses that are on the show :

- during the opening : Welcome to Our Cruel Beautiful World (and it is written on stage)
- during the song Voyage, Ayu had a part and said : I'm on a Journey, looking for Love

Just thought about that during my last night in Japan....

The poker face outfit kind of reminds me of an outfit from her Trust PV

always dramatic. hahaha love her :3

Ahhh. I want to see this concert and all the concepts! >_< Can't wait until the DVD g_g

Some videos i took, out and in the arena ^^

Yes, Sunrise!
I hope we'll be able to see somehow all the switching performances, like in a bonus in the DVD.

the setlist is great! :) i'm happy ayu performed some of my favorite songs, like "Wake me up", "JEWEL", and "SAKURA".

Sunrise! :heart

I hope she'll add other songs in the setlist later~ :yes

I'm sorry I just can't help to post this here :roflmao

He's a member here too I guess but idk his username:P

^

i know! saw that on tumblr this morning, cant help its too funny to be true though xDDD

It's nice to see Sunrise being performed

I wish Ayu would go back to performing evolution ala CDL04-05/05-06, with some taiko drums and the "SOUYA!" yelling/chanting.

:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao

she did that in CDL Future classic 09-10

LOL

Yay? I want her to do it again, instead of SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL. :yes

D E A D :roflmao:roflmao:roflmao

priceless.

I fear we won´t get rid of it anytime soon <.<

I know right, maybe in 5 or 6 years Ayu will find some other strange combination of songs? :D

Just wondering why Ayu don´t do a couple of medleys like Premium CDL, to sing more songs.....

Loving the Ever Free meme!

mi|kshake~

LOL at that crazy pic :laugh

I'd like her to perform evolution like she did in AT07..
I have shivers every time I watch it~ ♥

I love medleys at times but too much of them can take too much time and it means less full songs.

:yes

personally, i dont really like medleys. its just like neither here nor there. and when i am about to get into the mood of the song, its about to end haha.

and good choice of choosing Sunrise! :) i hope to see a different song for today's concert though!

Want teddy bear~~

I'm glad that she's performing different songs for her encore set list ^^

Are the interludes from any albums?

That's AMAZING!! :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

she did it. BriEvolution at a-nation 12 :D

^I agree with that BRILLANTE was awesome but it's kinda weird to have evolution after it because of the oppositting musical style. A Song fo xx would've been better imo.

And she should stop combing SURREAL and evolution bc those two simply don't work ._. wonder who whispered that in her ear lol One of her best song combining to date is SIGNAL~Hana and the summer song medley at a-nation, those were so much fun and energetic

I like SURREAL～evolution～SURREAL, I think both songs go great together, but I agree it's a little old and she should change the medley. I know some songs are classic and it's a must, but she has so many good songs that she never perform. It's kind of sad. I was excited about the voting, but somehow she didn't make big changes. :( I'll hope for more changes on the setlist.

SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL was cool and exciting when she performed it during AT2008, but when she kept performing it every other year (AT2010, AT2012, and this year) it's starting to be too repetitive and follows the same style (performs surreal with the band walking the runway, sings evolution on a crane, performs surreal again with dancers wearing various costumes from the concert, and finally does a long hoo-hoo haaaa-haaaa-haaaa vocalizing with princess yoko)
