Thanks everyone. :)

I gotta add something. When Ayu sang ASFXX, I realised that the key had been lowered. XD I was singing along and noticed how much easier it was to hit the high notes in the end.

^maybe it was to fit in with t2m...so the key wasnt such a big change...but if its lower, then im sure most people could sing it very well...

it was a gd change of song hahaha...

first time she changed a song in the tracklist

In the main tracklist.. no.

AT03-04 had remnants of like, RAINBOW in its original tracklist, and other ATs had certain songs removed after a time..

I dunno, it's weird how things work sometimes. lol.

Oh, btw, how did she perform ASFXX? AT06 style with band only? Or CDL 06-07 style with dancers?

Whoo!!! ASFXX!! I hope it's gonna be on the DVD... Thanks for the report!

any acapellas?

^ Dearest/Voyage?

From the discriptions, i'm looking forward to almost everything lol.

oh those are? i didn't know, cause it didn't say acapella on the first post

thx for the recap enjoyed reading it =D

No acapellas in the MC. The MC was rather short and Ayu went straight to Dearest and Voyage. Those were proper performances and not acapellas. :)

In fact, a flyer was given to the audience while we entered the stadium. We were suppose to wish Ayu an early happy birthday when Ayu says "Se~no" and we were supposed to yell 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' instead of 'YOCCHAN!'... but that didn't work out. XD Yocchan was all -facepalm- and Ayu was all confused. XDDD

As for ASFXX, it was band only. :)

I have a quick question for you. Did you see any professional cameras/cameramen inside?

Where are the professional cameramen in the stadium usually? I was rather far back and didn't really notice, so in my perspective the answer would be no.

But, since there were 3 screens in the concert (as with all other concerts) that zooms into what Ayu is doing and switches angles every now and then, wouldn't that mean that there would be footage and there were official cameras?

I'm not too sure, sorry. XD;;

she actually forgot those two songs:)
she went sraight to MC after the ayu ayu are u ready vid:)
and then yo chan was like " you forgot"but ayu didn't get it
and he went to ayu ,off mic told her it is singing time:)
and ayu put up a "omg what hav i done face"
and say in eng "ooo sorri i made a mistake, i am supposed to sing"
(or something like that but her eng has improved so much!)
that was funny. but a shame caz the "real" MC session is cut short:S o well xxx

^ LOL! that sounds hilarious!! HAHA...i hope that gets include for the dvd of AT08, ayu's mistake~ ;)

Wow you're so lucky that ayu holds concerts in your country! I think the concert venues in singapore cannot support her special stage. People here are also generally risk averse so i think they are not willing to splurge to get her to perform here.

I think it was unfair for the guards to ask you to sit down. That's really dumb. You should be standing for every pop concert. I completely understand what a concert dampener that is because it recently happened to me at a misia concert, not that guards asked me to sit down but that nobody was standing. If people are blocked by you because they refuse to stand, that's their business :eviltongu

you're so lucky! i wish i could go to see ayu live. tnx for the details about the concert, sounds AWESOME!!!!!

i wish she didn't replace is this LOVE? she could have just inserted A Song for XX somewhere XP

i would have also become histerical and lose my voice on the concert so yeey 4 us ^^
if the guards told me to sit down during evolution, i would have made everyone stand up with me or start a fight with the guards XD
i mean evolution without standing up, jumping and stuff like that would be unbareable for me XD

the Zin part sounds funny, i sooo want that on the DVD. and the ~see no~ yocchan/happy b.day part sounded like an AWESOME idea. too bad some ppl didn't yell happy b-day.

I'm sorry, but you have mentioned this a lot of times, and it got me really interested... is there any list or information around that lists what songs exactly did she skip in which concerts?

There's one website.

If you notice, there are like 5 AT03-04 setlists.

They have a lot of her setlists available here:

^ Oh yeah, thanks! Now I'll know which songs she has omitted (and like honestly why but I doubt anyone can answer this question here lol...)!

lucky you..

just 1 question, which song you think she sang the worst and the best??
