I guess what I'm not sure about is will she be doing commentary on the entire concert or just 4-5 songs like the CDL?

Video has better angles, it's different from the re-edit version broadcasted on TV. Good to see that cute section with Angel's song is not cut

And answering the question ^ it's full show, 2hr long

^ Thanks for the info!

I just upload the full show at download session

Can’t watch yet, but did they fix the crown moment in kanariya? Lol

Good to know that it has different angles!! Since they have already put in that effort to edit and such, why don’t they just release that dvd/bluray already?

Just started watching and I can already answer my own question: she doesn't even remember if this CDL had 2 or 3 dates.:D

I'm thinking some of these have been held back in order to release some sort of live collection at some point.

^ I hope you're right, can't wait for all those unreleased lives to get a DVD release.

They did! It looks really cool now.

Yeah, at this point it's a lot: TA Tour 2016, JTB Countdown Live, Trouble countdown live, Power of Music 2018, JTB Chapter 2, any section of the trouble tour. Am I missing any?


Watching the commentary countdown live - seems like they made it release ready to me. The vocals sound better than they did on the broadcast.

The way they 'fixed' the crown moment is really nice.

They've also been sneaking the officially edited footage for these unreleased tours/lives into the XXXX COMPLETE videos they've been making or tracklist lives. Kinda seems like they could do an A LIVE COMPLETE with bonus discs or something.

^She should release a "COMPLETE LIVE BOX A VOL.2" with:
"COUNTDOWN LIVE 2016-2017 A『Just the beginning -20-』"
"ARENA TOUR 2018 ～POWER of MUSIC 20th Anniversary～"
"COUNTDOWN LIVE 2018-2019 A -TROUBLE-"

She has a few dancers remaining from earlier shows than 2017. Midori started with Ayu for concert 2000 I think, but she’s the only “original”. Zin and Subaru from CDL 2004-05. Kazuma and acrobat team started around 2009 I think. The rest are new people.

Maybe for her older shows she can try to bring back her older dancers to get their thoughts? Wouldn't mind if she brought back Maro (jk)

^That would be really cool to bring back old dancers. She could bring on Nao since he was a dancer on Dome tour 2001 and Stadium tour 2002, and supposedly Ayu and UN are close friends. Go-mi would probably also be down to join, he was on video as an audience member in Power of A^3, so he still has a connection to Ayu. I kind of miss the old crew to be honest (and by old crew I mean 2004-2014 in terms of dancers - I also miss princess and peco, they were more supporting cast instead of taking over a main part of the show **Timmy** /rant).

Anyway, I think Midori is the last remaining dancer who started at the very beginning, would love if they interview her about 22 years as an ayu dancer. She could probably tell so many stories about the shows and how things changed over the years.

I believe it's better for her not to remind anyone they are friends

I don't know where this video comes from but the edition looks like the BD/DVD rip and it was uploaded today.
This video is the live version from Dec 31 2016 or the edited one?

That seems to be an edited version using the M-ON audio but video from the commentary live since Ayu/the dancers talked a lot during the commentary.

The new camera angles and overall edit were FANTASTIC on the commentary. This is clearly DVD/BR stuff.

I need this version to be available for purchase.
