PCDL COPY FTW!But In The Corner shouldn't be in the tracklist,eww.

And I wanted too late to be on the tracklist;_;

BUT THIS ALBUM ONLY HAS TEN SONGS OMG.

MY STORY and (miss)understood both had 10 songs from those albums performed on the tours...

kind of surprised to see HOPE or PAIN, In The Corner, SIGNAL, For My Dear.., everywhere nowhere. I thought those were PCDL only.

I still kind of hope she replaces some of those with other songs she never or almost never did before at other concert dates.
But everywhere nowhere is amazing i hope it becomes a new staple song replacing independant and humming7/4.

And 'MY ALL' as ending again? :( i was hoping for 'Who...'

but i can't complain. it's an amazing setlist :D

I wonder why Ayu decided to repeat so many songs from PCDL though (like for almost the entire encore except for Curtain Call and Days being placed elsewhere in the tracklist, and then HOPE or PAIN and In the Corner...) Is it for the fans who couldn't see PCDL or is it to lessen the time needed for rehearsing... ?

But they didn't have the entire album. Not even GUILTY's "tour (but not really)" had GUILTY.

Connected: You forget about It was?

OH man I wanna go and see this in real life!!! *starts crying* Sounds really cool. Hope we don't have to wait for the DVD too long!

I hope that after another album she stops singing evolution, boys & girls, Audience, UNITE!, SURREAL, and all those yearly songs for a while ^^

Comments from them:

Started Rule from the substage.
It's like last year's Asia Tour. Very flashy.
Ayu looks like she lost weight, but was very cute.
She cried during Days, and sang from her chest (I'm guessing her hand to her chest).
Ayu was like a kid during Next Level. Erm... looked very kiddy? No idea.
(There's something about Super Mario. She looked like Super Mario? Had a vibe of it?)
She was amazing (you know the kami-kanji god-like) and wore X-Men like sunglasses.
The new dancers were very nervous.
The costumers were very much like the Next Level jacket/booklet.
She also had a cheerleader like outfit?

I'll add some more.

Yeah, but for ayu to do 14/12 songs from an album +4~6 fan favourites with an 18 song setlist was pretty impossible...

Plus, "GUILTY" wouldn't have fit in with last years show. Both AsiaTs were pretty much like "BEST OF" tours anyway...

:irked Well I can see why a lot of PCDL imagery was used in the merchandise...the setlist is basically the worst parts of PCDL mixed with the new album.

Oh my! It looks pretty good :D

PDCL brought "In The Corner", "SIGNAL", "HOPE OR PAIN" and "everywhere nowhere" back from the grave xDDDDDDDD

SURREAL is arguably on of my favourite staples (except for B&G and evolution ofc) and it's not included!!!! T____T Why does it have to be AUDIENCE and UNITE!? sigh

I do like that LOVE 'n' HATE and identity come one after another.

It was... was never performed during Tour of Secret. Nor was BLUE BIRD, Beautiful Fighters, Born to Be..., or Startin'

(that is if you're counting them being performed in only one tour)

Whatever, doesn't change that this is probably pretty exciting for a tour~

They said the set was very simple. She also cried during Curtain Call.

i wonder if she will sing Life someday???

The tracklist looks great except for the fact that there are many repeated songs from the PCDL... I prefer classics over 'rare' songs like In the Corner or HOPE or PAIN

She sang Life at her anniversary concert date last year.

It wasn't on the DVD. -smacks whoever decided not to stick it on-

OMG.. i hope the track list is true.. cos i love it!! every single songs on the albums is being performed. & Days is on the main show. i hope she wear something really amazing and sweet like her tv performances ^^
and the fact that she sang songs from her PCDL is great. cos the CDL was only 2shows. i love for my dear.. signal and hope or pain..
So cool to end the concert with MY ALL again.. love it..

yeah!

omg I hope that if she has any new singles during the tour she sings them *-*

ohh woow

that sucks :(

you mean AT08 or PCDL??

Ah a TOTALLY unpredictable set list! It seems like she has used songs from PCDL as well. But eh, longest tour (in terms of songs) ever as well.

It's very exciting!! And the songs actually breakaway from her usual 'formula' for tours... staples are spread across the main concert list now (AUDIENCE, for example).

I'm now excited to see her costumes! And she cried during Days and Curtain call... ah.

Posting this from jpm since AHS was down when I first posted this:

Ayu was on a radio interview talking about this year's live up until was very different. Or it's going to be very different from now on or something like that. (the mixi member commented how she used all 14 tracks for the tour, maybe that's it?)
The beginning when she sang Rule was super cool, and she got goosebumps (audience member).
The new dancers also joined in on the My All dance.
There was no signed balls this time.
She danced during Sparkle (the no no no parts), but since it was the first day it was a bit clumsy?

I'm glad though that the number of staples is really small!
Just 4 staples! (evolution, AUDIENCE, UNITE! and Boys & Girls).
=DD

If the posted tracklist as of now is true, I'm slightly disappointed that there were so many recycled songs from PCDL. I guess though, busy schedule didn't allow for a whole lot of rehearsal time to plan for a lot of different songs (besides the new album tracks).

thxs for the tracklist and infos, but what's that ? ::

When she came out and sang on the platform towards the audience there was a circle area, the lights were reflected on/above their heads.
Someone said "is she really going to be doing this until the fall? What part of this is supposed to be her 'Next Level?'"

Tracklist is so awful -_- I hope it's a fake!

i dun really like the fact that she resang the PCDL-by-right-exclusive songs...

GREEN => Days doesn't flow imo...

but i do hope that she really DIDNT leave out anysong from that album

I'm not so happy that she perform PCDL songs..again..I wish she just make it exclusive for PCDL only thou..then evolution in the middle is just a bit funny....IMO...and HOPE or PAIN before GREEN is not so coordinated..oh well I complain a lot....I hope she rocks this tour!!!

So any instruments like giant disco ball or what??

Count of songs from each album.

Woah, looks like they went through each album and picked a song or two. XD

so how long is the concert for??

I'm kinda confused about that lol

please someone!

Wow, EVERY song from the album is in the concert? How lovely!

not surprise to see In The Corner, since it @ PCDL ...

I am surprised in the pleasant sense.

ALL SONGS from NEXT LEVEL are used. WOW!!

although most songs are recycled from PCDL, they may be performed in a different way? In The Corner will definitely not be ayu in the (d)lma outfit anymore..

Totally loving it!! and there are 15 songs in the main setlist.

AT 05, 06 - 13 songs.
AT 07 - 12 songs.
AT 08 - 13 songs.
AT 09 - 15 songs!!!

BTW. Finally she's done with the t2t era? =.=

they should have

14 from NEXT LEVEL
3 from I am... (Connected, evolution, UNITE!)
2 from ASFXX (Wishing, SIGNAL)
2 from LOVEppears (Boys & Girls, WHATEVER)
1 from RAINBOW (WE WISH)
1 from MY STORY (About You)
1 from Duty (SURREAL)
1 from GUILTY (MY ALL)

0 from Secret &
0 from (miss)understood ----- I cant see how anything will fit...maybe In The Corner with LOVE 'n' HATE but she already did it in PCDL

wootsy~~~i see SIGNAL there :D

This is a great tracklist. Finally all songs from a new album in the tour! Isn't this what most ppl are hoping for? In the past i had been seeing ppl complaining abt the 'same old tracklist' again and again. She finally include all songs from the latest album, and some of the songs in there weren't really sang that much before. But somehow i'm still seeing complaints XD

Nevertheless, I'm pretty pumped up to see how the performances and costumes will be like. I don't really mind the PCDL songs being recycled. Just 'cos they appeared there before doesn't mean she can't sing them again :) What's more, it may not be performed the same way too.

Thanks for all the info and pic :D

oh I´m really surprised, she did the whole album!
now this a tour really want go to and it has got the best merch ever!!! ^^

now I´m really bummed out I didn´t have the cash to go >_<

Horrible setlist...I hope costumes, props and show in general is super amazing, I wanted her to finally sing at least one of the left-out songs the last years!(It Was...,criminal and GUILTY belong to my favourite songs and they were left out on their tours), but its really nice how she used the complete album for it and that its quite long(im usually disappointet about how short her tours are)

Pffff horrible trackliste -____-
Many songs are recycled from PCDL what a pity!!!!!!
Fortunatelly, all of songs from NEXT LEVEL are here. Hope these performances will be good.

^ What's the bad about that? The PCDL songs are really rare, should she perform songs she has performed a thousand times instead? NL fills out over the half of the list ^^

Yay! Awesome set list! I'm so glad she performed all the songs from Nexl Level! I can't wait to see the costumes!!

This is so exciting! All songs from album performed, slightly longer setlist, different stage. I don't like how the non-NL songs are already performed on PCDL though. Nevertheless this makes me more excited than AT08!

If this is real I will be really happy! I always complain she forgets many of the latest album songs... many songs from MY STORY and (m)u were never sung (and i'm still waiting the day she'll sing criminal...)

The only thing about this tracklist... many songs are from PCDL... sure that she will do it different way... but I was hoping she would sing songs from memorial address and My Story... (walking proud, because of you, forgiveness, inspire, about you, moments...) But i understand the style she chose for PCDL fits better the NEXT LEVEL style...

So well, i'm happy because i loved those songs in PCDL!! in the corner, signal, hope or pain... the only one I hate is everywhere nowhere... i don't like this song.. XD

Well... I hope we'll have soon the final tracklist!

The setlist is alright.. nothing to jump for. It's absolutely retarded how identity is between LOVE 'n' HATE and In The Corner. If it has choreography, well then.. she needs to stop. Songs like identity, decision, and 1LOVE are meant to be sung with Ayu holding a mic, not her prancing around with the dancers using a headset mic. All it really does is give her an excuse to not actually have to sing to song.

I don't get it?

By the way, I feel HOPE or PAIN is SO redundant here... I mean just GREEN and Days filling the 'Ballad section' of the concert is good enough... I don't know.

wow, i can't wait to see the confirmed list of songs!!!!!!
all these speculations sound really great =D

Days is like...her most mainstream and boring ballad she had in the last years, so HOPE or PAIN kind of saved the ballad part for me, GREEN is great, too, but it doesnt flow well if they dont change it

PCDL songs are there, but we don't know they used the same set/acts/dancing. I'm really glad she is singing HOPE or PAIN again, that song is AMAZING live.,

And good to see she is singing the whole of NEXT LEVEL. It always irks me that songs are left out that should really be sung live. Not this time. :D

Oh, the setlist its a bit disappointing... I mean, it was NEXT LEVEL + worst of PCDL + overplayed staples

The good is that she performed the whole NL album!!!!
But she could have used the "old" staples, like independent, Trauma, vogue or sth like that instead of the same ones all over again

Now, I just hope she has different costumes for the ballads again, like in AT05, when the 3 ballads which followed on each other had all different costumes

This reminds me that you might be right. Cos well I don't know about HOPE or PAIN --- GREEN, but at least for Days she should have changed into a white dress or something, with a video of Shu-ya and her before it. Just like CAROLS. :yes

I dont think HOPE or PAIN and GREEN work in the same costume, either, they are just too different, at least to me, hope or pain is white or black and GREEN is red, green or golden

Why is everyone stressing over the few PCDL songs??! Hello, those were only performed for TWO days and I'm sure there are other people (in Japan) that were dying to see them performed and couldn't make it to PCDL (since its only in Tokyo). She's doing a great fanservice by performing a select few again....and the ones that were requested.

I am glad to see an all NEXT LEVEL tracklist, She even changed up her staples (yay! everywhere nowhere, this time without a broken mic :D!)

im disappointed with the stage...i thought it will be different...with two more longer paths on the sides that joined together :no

So glad that she performs all the songs in NEXT LEVEL :D

This show is perfect!!!! I can't to see some fancam.....

Wow! Longest tour with one of the longest setlists, and then ALL 14 songs from NEXT LEVEL are being performed! That's awesome!

Oh, and apparently, this is how the stage is going to look? Somebody from mixi posted this:
http://hamahama1999.maeda-keiji.com/...XT_LEVEL~.html

I don't like how SURREAL isn't being performed, but I'm excited about UNITE! (even though I'd rather see Humming 7/4). I'm THRILLED about HOPE or PAIN; that's one of my favorite songs!!!

Can't wait to see costume pics! =D

^me too. i really wanna see the costumes! hopefully someone can sneak us some indside pics soon~ or at least a description.

and woooot! all the songs from NEXT LEVEL! can't wait!!!! :D

omg all of next level?¡?¡? soo cool! i wish she would have preformed "Guilty" instead of one fo the oldies like hope or pain but still GREAT tracklist!!! and remember she can make a few changes for the last concerts but that is still farway :p

Holy... the stage looks SO different! Thanks!

WOW!! So quick!!

I´m so EXCITED about the setlist and her costumes!!!

I want to see pictures of them!!:luv2:luv2:luv2

WHUAUAWIWUA THAT IS AWESOME.I totally love that stage now~STAIRS!

Ayu looks super cute!I love her outfit and her pigtails.

this is full NL tour with all the tracks included the tracklists

It's like a revived from PCDL tracklist

AAHHH!! She's so cute!! And the stage - wow! That's awesome!!

I can't wait to see her!! June 21st and July 1st, here I come!! =D

IS THAT HER ENCORE OUTFIT???? I LOVE THE OVERALLS :luv2:luv2

The main list truehappiness posted should be correct - I just read the same thing on a japanese Ayu fan board.

I'm a little dissapointed though. It seems all the non-Next Level songs are the same ones as PCDL - looks recycled.

Also, interludes shouldn't be counted as full concert tracks. Take those out and it is roughly the same length as most of her other shows.

thats one long catwalk-thingy!

LOVE THE STAGE. 07 and 08 stages were way to claustrphobic when compared to 05 and 06 and this seems to call back those stages. its like, even though 06 was simple sets, the stage was wide and tall, but in 07 and 08 the stages seemed not that tall.

From this photo I can't see the 2 lateral catwalk we saw on the arena-map... (the one similar to AT 03-04)

I just wondered why the new stage seemed so small to me o.0 xD

@ walking.proud
The arena-map seemed made up to me from the start...i mean: who would know that AND make it public that early?

It would have been great that she would have sung Trauma or Independent during the encore...

Is it just me or does it look like it could be like the A Musuem CDL 07 -08 or PCDL cat walk that has a catwalk that goes across the whole arena.

^ I thought the same when I saw it, but wouldn't that be to expensive to transport?it would explain the "substage" mentioned for Rule if she had another small stage at the end(or the circular stage)

I think the stage/stairs may change colors? Since they are white?

I am glad she's singing all of NEXT LEVEL, but I wish she would have included more of her electro songs like STEP you and Ladies Night.

Im quite sure they do, they are glowing, so they can probably change colors, too

The tracklist is: NL songs + staple songs + fanfavorite songs voted in december (the pcdl ones)

The pcdl songs aren't random, they are the "rare performed fan request" songs... so, I can't really understand why there is complain about this... she is going to perform what her fans wanna listen o_O

The first tracklist looks great :D

Because..those fan requests are the most requested RARE songs. When put on a scale with non-rare songs, they're still at the bottom. E.g. there are like 50 more 'wanted' songs. She's already done the rare songs so she should have left it at that. Her logic fails me.

omg thank you so much for making this thread...maybe it'll help clean up the News forum as tour information comes out...

people make threads for the most random crap.

anyways...the setlist seems fine...i'm really hoping the costumes dont suck though.

Was there someone of this forum going to the concert?(I want a review xD)

Its great to see all the songs from NEXT LEVEL are performed...atleast there's no disappointment that certain songs are left out like previous albums.

The stage looks a lot more simple than I expected....its almost like a cdl stage. I don't know if I like that....I was expected a funky and colorful stage...no moving screens...:(...hopefully there'll be some cool special effects or something.

Some people went!

GAHH I WANT PPHOTOS OF THE OUTFITS NAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I so hoped for curtain call as main part ending song ._.

<3 just looking at the 1st tracklist make me so happy *o*

I doubt it's the right tracklist! Too similar too PCDL!

She often sang songs she sung in her CDL in the tour afterwards(but mostly encore songs) just not in THIS amount, so I think theres a 95% chance that its real

SIGNAL + For my dear... = EEK.

But im glad that the whole NL album songs are in the setlist and im looking forward to see the (hopefully) awesome costumes!

Because they are probably being done just because they were easiest to put in. I mean, its not a BAD thing persay, but it could have been done better. Plus these weren't exactly "fan requests" from what I remember Ayu pretty much came up with the PCDL set list on her own. I mean, fans gave feedback and all, but there were just as many people that requested stuff that didn't get put in as well as those that did - there was no like poll or anything where only the top choices were selected.

It's real. I've seen it confirmed on a few Japanese boards.

I hope that the stairs change colors during the performances...

wow I love the possible setlist! >___< !!! :heart

Or they could have just been big hits and the fans gave her feedback that encourages her to perform them again. Or she probably realizes she enjoys performing those songs and wants to do them again. To me, the setlist is pretty perfect. The entire album is being performed, rare songs are being performed, staples, songs here and there from other albums. I mean what more could you want? xD; Not to mention, if it's true, the tracklist is long as hell, it's almost as many songs as PCDL. And even if it was easy to do, that makes it best for everyone, her and us.

Wow, I already love the stage, the divaish stairs and white lights in the top

And if that's her encore costume, she's better than ever!

Ayu is only performing 19 songs, that's the same anount she did for AT 06.

She did the same amount in AT08, too(if you count the acapellas its even one song more), so its nothing special, but the main concert is longer than usual, isnt it? Or does it just appear that way to me?

She did 18 songs in AT08 (and I wouldn't count the acapellas as real songs and the surreal~evolution medley is also one song for me) and 17 songs in AT07.
But yes, the main set list is longer this time. She usually sings 13 songs but this time there are 15 songs.

yeah I think she enjoyed a lot In the corner... she put a lot of photos of the rehearsals of this coreography in january... HorP, signal and For my dear were amazing... the only one i don't like is everywhere now.... -____- I don't like it... And well... there weren't any poll but sure she followed a little what TA members sent her...

I hope someone will make a review soon!! I want to know the costumes and how's the performance *-* But they are sleeping right now i supose... -____-
