Well, there wasn't any real need for her to use a double since she kinda came down RIGHT after Free&Easy and then they did a whole bunch of stuff behind a curtain or w/e...

So it'd have been useless to use a double when Ayu was kinda already there.. right?

Anyone mentions Concert Tour 2000 vol. 1 yet? That's where the monochrome performance in Stadium Tour 2002 came from. She used her double in a higher platform covered with dark-net veil

o.0 ayu and her magic, haha.
but i never ever tot of ayu is using double for her AT07 kiss o' kill performance o.0

there's no one mentioned AT2002's opening run? i'm really sure its her body double, and the next moments, ayu is out with another outfit singing naturally

Doubles...doubles....doubles..
I nver thought that ayu has doubles on stage.. I thought it only happen in movies!!!

No, not really. Given the length of her dress and the fact that her hair would have needed to be "adjusted" after the removal of the wig (something that should not be left up to her dancers), it made sense to use a double. If you watch the DVD, at 41:08-41:10 you can see Ayu's double duck behind the curtain and see Ayu come out. Ayu's double has a much less fluffy wig in addition to a much shorter dress.

that's exactly my question too

yes she can use a double..but than how do u still go up there w/o being noticed?

^maybe she climbed down from the top

About the kiss o' kill performance and how she quickly got to her cross: I'm sure she practically runs to her spot on the cross. She and her backstage crew members most likely rehearsed getting to that spot dozens of times until she got there perfectly! It's all a matter of time and lighting and such. :)

Darn you, prussian_blue! I was ready to mention that! :laugh

Is this in her 2002 tour or CDL '06-'07?

Lighting is a huge part, they use those red flashing lights to conceal the background and have no lights on the back wall while she is being raised up + everybody is looking at the double.

eeehh she introduced her doubles? I didn't know that!
I need to watch my Dome Tour copy XD

She introduced the two doubles during Who... in Dome Tour. I don't own it but saw it some time ago on crunchyroll.com

2002. I don't have the CDL DVD with me right now, otherwise I would check...blah.

ok..now i feel really stupid

i was the one that uploaded it @_@...so the two dancers in the US shirt~ @_@ ayu had a lot of dancers back then...

Yes, I saw you upload most of Ayu's live videos haha, to many to remember them all :D
The doubles are also on the second part of the Who... video

She introduces her double in AT2002 as well: Minori...Minori didn't want to come on stage. LOL.

Ah, I see. :)
I was curious, but now that you say 2002 I'm especially happy because I can actually check it in the comfort of my own home. (^^)

Ah, I love the magic of show biz. :D

Oh.. I was talking about CDL06-07. lol.

She had MUCH time in that performance, 53 seconds to be exact, thats more than enough time to run 15 meters, take the black clothes off , sit on the cross and get these ~4 meters up, i dont think she has to practice it many times

i mean its simple. she went down the stage with the "riser" that she appeared for M.

she quickly runs to the cross which is probably at the bottom of the centre stage where ayu sang part of Me. ayu removes the black cover hood... duno what u call it.

clips herself onto the cross, and there it goes.. the cross rises.. it's not a difficult process actually..
