:meditate

Her wrists must have a lot of black bruises from rehearsals so that's why she covered it with this nude thing. It's normal to get injured when you're a performer, dancing, singing, moving, jumping and flying around. Hope she takes care and that her Team stays health!

By the way, the dancers looks SO tired on this Leslie's pic! Doing this concerts marathon is not for everyone!

I think Kazuma is fine! He posted on Instagram that he can't wait for the last day!

something very weird in this picture.. is this real?

I'd say it's real...what do you see that is weird?

I saw this picture earlier and I think it's amazing. Very touching...

IHMO The setlist was amazing and i'm really sad that We are the Queens got axed out because its such an awesome song live. The show started really really late yesterday. I'll try to make a complete report tonight when I got home my phone's charger is busted i'm saving my battery LOL

There was no accident. They needed extra hour to complete setting up the stage. She was rehearsing live this whole hour, right until they let the people in. Not sure about the reason for delay for 12/30 though, because I arrived a bit late.
Ayu herself apologized on 29 for making us wait. I think she said "we were building the stage until the very last moment". Also there were staff announcements about delay because of rehearsal.
Her voice on 29 was usual, but on 30 it was Made in Tokyo part 2: husky as if she was ill, she was struggling with the parts she didn't have problems on previous day.
So... Tonight's vocals could be bad if it's sickness and it progresses.
The setlist felt incredibly satisfying in person. When Talkin' 2 myself started I was like "now I can die happily" lol. It was the last song that I reeeeeally wanted to hear.
Sad about We are the QUEENS being cut, was looking forward to hear it again.
The show had everything: crane, all sorts of stages, riding cart.
It is definitely a 20th anniversary show.'
I don't think it's rushed. I think they did a very good job. Well, they might not had the amount of time they wanted, but the concert didn't leave any rushed impression.
Japanese fans agreed with me that the setlist is a dream come true.
It was hilarious when a couple of Japanese fans asked me if I were Timmy. Lol. I joked that I'm his bf.

Oh, no... Praying for good vocals tonight...
1. Because I don't want that Ayu is sick
2. I really love this CDL and I don't want it be ruined with robotic-vocals afterwards


Btw, I love to see all the flowers before the concert! I don't know, I just feel like "LOOK WHO MANY PEOPLE SENT FLOWERS TO AYU"! :D I think I also saw a photo of flowers coming from gackt! :D COME AYU, GIVE US THE SEASONS DUET WITH HIM!


Also, love this stage, haha! But for all she would need a second level (not "just" the stairs), the side catwalks like AT 03-04 and the normal catwalk going to the end of the arena... Eh, this was just for fun... Imagine how it'd look...

I'm not good at such stuff but I tried it:

This setlist is so amazing that its fitting if this really is the last CDL. As much as it is boring to read/hear that Ayu is too old, this kind of triple (tour, a-nation/teamayu tour/CDL) annual concert setlist is exhausting for anyone. I would rather Ayu just did one solid concert/tour a year than exhaust and wear herself torn like she does.

Well, I hope she is better today. Browsing twitter and instagram is fantastic since they allowed taking pictures, makes me feel so jealous ^^

The lights source looks photoshopped.

Other than the lights, it is good.

If it wasn't obvious enough, a lot of the photos taken by Leslie Kee during concerts are taken during the dress rehearsals.

Because many of you said that taking pictures is/was allowed. Actually it was not. In the beginning they showed it on the side screen that it's not allowed. And there are staff walking through to check during the concert. One guy once passed through our row to tell the girl behind us to stop.

I probably know the answer to this, but she isn't livestreaming this year, right?

No online stream, but there is a live TV broadcast.

I hope somebody will record it for us :eyes

26:30? :D

Japanese TV usually doesn't count programs late at night as another day, partially just to make things easier to remember, so you get a lot of 25:00 and 26:00 in schedules. Looking at M-ON's schedule, they do it all the way up to 29:00 before 'starting' with 06:00.

looks like Ayu and her dancers are going to cry and sobbing hard tonite, earlier I saw Subaru's post on his Ig, bout the same view of Yoyogi for 12 years, geeting the tissue! >.>

Hiring Leslie Kee for photography means the pictures will turn out to be
(a) posters
(b) booklet for next DVD
(c) photobook
(d) all of the above


Leslie Kee is quite expensive tho.. ayu would not hire him just take pictures for fun..
