"Thank u for comming".

Lol.

Regarding BALLAD, Shu ya was not dead in the PV, he was unconscious, in a in-between-worlds, so I'd say it's more loss than death

LOL it is the matter of font and the photo quality. No, it is not "u" but it is "o" between "c" and "m"

What is that QR code scan for?

RED LINE is such a underrated song for TA. glad she performed.

"Thank u for comming!!"..........

MTE

I think Timmy has already proofread. He's like

"OH YEAH. USE THIS.PERFECT."

But what he thinks like

"This is such a dirty message"

ayu can also ask her husband, not only Timmy.

Did she sing SEASONS ~ Dearest ~ Zutto... ? or it was only mix like at A BEST live?

and what is it? Dancers show time?
・Bold&delicious
・Rule
・STEP you
・beautiful fighters

Probably more like a DJ medley or piano medley for the dancers.
On http://setlist-live.com/tag/浜崎あゆみ, those aren't listed.

On her birthday show, the dancers time was a video that was playing clips of her PVs in the background while she changed outfits...like a megamix, not live vocals.

So, she changed Letter to A song is born and now dropped both? lol Dream was so close lol

Daybreak 映像 is under the same sky video?

I guess A Song is born is only for Fukushima (like she always sings A song is born in Sendai)

She performed Close to you on 05/10 and 06/10 too, I'm glad not just once. So maybe we'll see it again.

I agree about A song is born. Probably just in Fukushima.

Now this place is empty. I don't mind if she put another unperformed song from RnRC or RED LINE

^ She looks so pretty!

I'm glad she didn't actually sing Bold & Delicious.

I used to dislike this song, but it's actually very energetic and fun to listen to live.

Omg, she sung a acapella version of Wishing? Let me go cry in the corner because I wanna hear it but I know I won't. :( I really need that song's live performance in my life. It's one of my favorite songs from A Song for xx.

And why do I get Namie vibes from that dress? O.o

Am I the only one who is deeply disappointed about the setlist from the very beginning?
I really had no expectations which songs I wanted her to sing and I have nothing against evolution and SURREAL. But I absolutely can't stand that setlist. It's such a wasted opportunity for me.
First, do evolution and SURREAL justice and let that damn fucking medley die. Second I like the setlist up until Heartplace. beloved is ok and I could live with Pray/Days. Summer diary, well, if she wants to. The acapella section is cool and Close to you/Letter is great. But in all honesty, a medley of XOXO/Lelio/Sparkle? Followed by Feel the love and You & Me? When the TA tour was announced I was happy to see a stripped dowm show again. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her arena tours the last years and I watched them over and over again. But I don't want all those dance songs in a TA tour. Those are fun and can be pretty cool with the right performance, but hell no, I don't want a mini arena tour as a TA tour.

Everything

I will wait till we get to see the Tour before I judge. The dance songs also can be nice on a stripped down show.

i don't get why she couldn't perform dance songs as well? they are part of her discography. she's not a rock/ballad only artist so why should she strip down everything else?

this tour is for her fans and i feel like her japanese fans really enjoy XOXO / Lelio / You & Me / Feel the love kinda songs since she is performing them

she just wanna have fun with her fans

But what are those songs for? If I remember correctly she only performed Boys and Girls.

Possible changes?

first pic was posted before Fukushima show
http://i.imgur.com/8s3kpDu.jpg
and she changed Present to My All

Hey guys!
Last day in Tokyo she sang Love ~Destiny~, not Letter ^^
It was a little change
I know it because I was there ;)

Hopefully she.ll perform Sky High. That song fits this tour.

Not crazy about the song but its nice.

no no nooooooo, bring Present back T^T

Enough with MY ALL already...

Okay, so today she sang Dearest / acapella and Present / acoustic (in the spot between Summer diary and XOXO). Ending songs are Daybreak and MY ALL.

I don't care whether ayu sings dancing songs or not. But, What bothers me is why is she still singing the same songs with a couple of new ones. This is a TA tour, a fans only live. It's ok to sing one staple song but to sing, xoxo, sparkle, evolution, surreal, my all, days, which we've heard for years on a daily basis. That's is just a slap in the face to me.

The Acoustic/ Acapella segment is really the must see from these concerts !!! The most interesting songs are sung in this part =)

^ mte. I'd rather have only the acapella/acoustic performances from all dates than a full concert of a specific date tbh :laugh It would be amazing to have both, but I doubt it...

I will never understand Ayu's obsession with MY ALL and Untitled for her.

I'm just going to go out on a whim here and suggest that it's probably because the lyrics are personal and constantly relevant to her.

:(I just want her to perform No more words again... :(:(

Waiting in front of the zepp Namba arena now!!!
Omg I'm so excited!!!!!!

^^^^ total lurker here, but I'm also at Zepp Namba tonight! Will report back after I regain consciousness lmao

ENJOY!!! Waiting for reports and pictures from the venue...

Musically, they're both so bland though. She didn't do justice to the lyrics with the music IMO.

I've always been in love with these two songs, both musically and lyrics wise. Amazing tracks.

Seems like she performed HEAVEN acapella. And I was really thinking earlier how she didn't perform any (miss)understood songs in this tour.
She also performed JEWEL. Probably acapella.

Have successfully avoided seeing all setlists!

Off to Nagoya on Sunday for the two shows. I think there were a few people on here also going? PM me and I can send you my email or phone number and we can maybe meet up?

Argh three sleeps to go!

that song gives me so many feelings. She needs to do it live. It's such a beautiful piece. I always consider it a sister of Secret.

YES. No more word is perfect and deserves another live :heart

me!!!!! :D

Waiting for your report :gun

Omg it was so great!!! Ayu was so close!! And her songs!!! LOVED IT! There was also time for a normal talk and that was a lot of fun too!
Timmy and Ayu did the Acapella of Heaven and it was so cute!! He was looking at the lyrics and made a mistake and then they started over. Omg love them!!

Seconding Erikku, last night's show was pretty incredible. Her vocals were on point the whole time, she's clearly been working really hard on them and it showed. I was in basically the third row so Ayu was super close, it felt like a once in a lifetime moment, honestly. I particularly loved the rock version of M, and her performance of Heartplace (one of my personal faves). The Days/beloved combo was nice as well. Heaven was great accapella (even tho Timmy messed up lol everyone was like "he's so cute!" so it really didn't matter) and JEWEL was the full song, she sang it while sitting on a chair, very subtle but really nice. The dance portion was fun, I'm not a huge fan of "feel the love" and "you & me" but the crowd was enthusiastic, and my gay best friend who I brought who had minimal Ayu exposure before this was like "I LOVE THIS SONG" lmao. Also, the MCs were super hilarious.

Overall, It was a great time, truly. Despite not loving the entire set list (I def wish there were some older hits thrown in there. Like I would have preferred something like fairlyland or BLUE BIRD over summer diary, etc), I felt the intimate experience that the venue provided and flawless vocals more than made up for it. Definitely an unforgettable night!

Me too, my friend. Me too.

------------------------------
And thanks for the quick info Erikku and redmoon! That's great to hear! I won't lie, I'm not such a huge fan of Timmy but he and Ayu get along so well, they are really fun to watch together! xD I'm glad to hear about all this! The only thing I wish was different is that I should've been there!!!! I'll see you someday Ayu!!! I promise!!! (and if you happen to perform No more words, I wouldn't complain. Nope. Not at all.)

sounddds super amazing! Whas the M version the same as in power of music?

This! The rock version was awesome!
And if I remember correctly it was a different version from power of music.

Luckily the majority was like this, however I heard some people scream "ばかやろー！" (asshole!) and "日本語覚えろ"(Go learn Japanese!) which made it a bit sad. But it was good that they ignored those people.

Btw I love Ayu's laughing. She sounds so violent XD

And after the show we ate the Cabbage yaki at the store Ayu recommended.

Whoa... it is rude but better than screaming "go back to your home.."

People screaming that makes ayu sad.

Did she sing Daybreak before MY ALL during the double encore on October 13th or was it just the Under the same sky video?

"Go learn japanese" is pretty similiar to "go back to your home" to me, same racist shit. Dunno how you can consider yourself an ayu fan (and TA member) if you wanna hurt the ones she cares about.

And people still don't know why Ayu gets frustrated with her own fandom... That's horrible :(

The worst is that the one who probably actually understands this is ayu and not Timmy

Culturally speaking, I always thought stuff like that was outright distasteful in Japan. If it was one person yelling it I would have just assumed it was one jerk, but if it was more than one person, that surprises me. What's the demographic at these concerts? Is it mostly young people, 18-30?

To me it is slightly different but we have different perspective. Ayu possibly could hear that, even though she could only hear by one ear..

um...isn't Timmy fluent in Japanese though?lol and um also shouldn't they scream "go learn the song" instead of "go learn japanese" ? these people are dumb lol

I doubt he is fluent.
My friend who was front row at one concert told me Ayu always spoke english when talking to Timmy without the microphone between the songs.

Timmy made one of the last entries for the TA Tour blog.
The sentence structure he used, was quite simple, so I also get the feeling he isn't fluent in Japanese. But at least he knows basic Japanese, I believe. (and I hope he learns more, living and working in Japan, but that's another topic).
Though those remarks from fans weren't really hard to understand, so he probably got it...
Glad they just don't care.

No Timmy's Japanese is not fluent, his basics are very good and he really improved a lot compared to before though. That made it so awesome!
And even in the talk he used gestures for words he didn't know which actually made it a lot of fun not only to listen to but also to see :luv2

Actually it's pretty common in Japan. I've been living in Japan for almost 5 years now and even if my Japanese is really fluent I have people talking about me in the same train, or talk back to me in bad English (English is not even my native tongue) or when you say your opinion they tell me "oh yeah you are not Japanese that's why you think different" and that all just because I'm blond with blue eyes... Especially when I worked in a department store, everywhere I passed I heard my coworkers "Omg, what's with this foreigner?he can't work here!" And the person who gave instructions just refused to talk with me and instead asked a coworker to tell me what to do.
I once in a supermaket even had someone tell me they couldn't understand English even though I clearly spoke in normal Japanese.

In Japan they have this belief that there are almost only real "Japanese people" and I guess that's one big problem. There are many people who just hate other Asians just because they are different.
Ayu was different too right? And I think somewhere she mentioned she was bullied too. It's kind of Japanese culture to exclude things that are different. You have to fit in..

I really hate this happening. Certain group of people cling you into the culture and exclude other kind of people based on skin colours. What year are we living in? 1950 in the US?

I must admit that its still happening here in Japan, but not everywhere and everytime, and its a good thing that (based on my experience) its getting better and the new Japanese generation starts to be openminded when it comes to these things.

Being born half Japanese and Filipino, i sometimes get stared at and told of something for not being too "Japanese" probably because of my bigger eyes and tanned skin. When I was younger, I used to mind it a lot, but as I grew older, I met more and more people who are awesome to love you for what you are, who you are, and how your appearance is. We are now in a new different era, let them live in the 1950s LOL

And I have a feeling that AYU, being who she is, is that kind of person, i mean, probably she's that person who accepts anyone regardless of who and what they are. Come on, look at her army of performers, I think that's the reason why I love their group so much. And Timmy is professional enough not to mind that IMO just incase he heard it or something.

Anyway, I can't wait for my turn tomorrow!!! Yay!!

Timmy is the good guy. He is a part of Ayu's gorgeous performances. I remembered how impressed I was while listening to MOON ( CDL 11-12)and BRILLANTE ( a nation 12), the new mix by Timmy is very flawless ...
I dunno why many people hate him, he is nice at all.

I wish they could perform BRILLANTE again like PoM.

That performance is great.

However, sometimes Timmy dresses funny. :P

Altough I think some of his costumes are too much over the top, I can´t understand that hate for Timmy either. He seems like a very nice, joyful person, and I like such ppl.

I've said before that I'm not his biggest fan, but in no way would I ever stand in a crowd and shout or curse him out. That's incredibly rude. Just the thought of it gets me so mad. He's hardworking. He's being himself. And he does a good job at doing both. He's a nice guy, he does good music, and he does have a very good voice. All that has him fit in with Ayu's team perfectly. To be honest, nowadays I can't imagine him not being on the stage with her. xD I'm always looking for him, since he kind of stands out.

Just goes to show the world is not so different. People--anywhere, at any time, doesn't matter who, where, when, or why--can be incredibly rude and insensitive. I don't understand it. :/ It's a lot easier to be nice and, most times, you'll get a better experience.

Jep his voice fits fantastic with Ayu´s and also with Princess'

Sometimes I think Timmy has distracting costumes but those are probably Ayu's decisions, not his so I'm not going to not like him because of that! He does seem like a sweet person, his voice works well with Ayu's and his arrangements are good too.

Anyway, Ayu sometimes forgets her own lyrics! It's going to be harder if the songs are always changing for a non-native speaker to remember them.

As someone who lived there for a long time, it doesn't surprise me at all... What is more surprising is that the people saying things like that don't even realize that it is offensive in the slightest.

While I agree, that is gradually changing over there, even the younger generation has a long way to go. Anything "other" still comes off as something slightly less than real to them unless they have themselves have spent a significant amount of time overseas. Not saying that I didn't meet some really cool people while I was over there for 5 years give or take, but honestly, no matter how much Japanese you know or how well you can fit in, foreigners are still treated differently.

This! Ayu being who she is no matter what. That's why I love her so much!
Have fun in Nagoya!!

Yeah I love Timmy! He really knows how to spice things up! I kept waving at him :love
Yes Japan has a very long long way to go... Actually in my experience the younger generation now is getting worse again. And I guess the long boring and intensive English lessons and the nationalism in education and on TV have something to do with it... Anyway as long as you have your own friends and place, it's great and you can ignore those people easier. But sometimes it gets really annoying.

Sorry for the double post, but if I remember correctly I think this is the set list of the Osaka Namba Zepp Live Concert:
(I might have forgotten something)

Ayu did say something about it about one of her dogs, not the song itself, but when she was doing the pv, I think her efforts and pv were dedicated to a dog or she used them to announce one of her dogs were dying

iirc there WERE scenes of ayu with one her dogs in the MOON PV, weren't there? Could be she wrote it thinking of a person but the situation her puppy was going throught fit it somehow

On my way to Zepp Nagoya now!! I read on facebook that people are already lining up for goods like crazy right now :((( I just need that Love Song shirt. Please please please XD

have fun!!
I have the 1Love one and it comes with a free bag

But why she keps My All, it´s ending song in every Arena Tour.... why not keeping Present ._.

Just got back from the show too (and nice meeting you hayasaki albeit briefly!)

Just to add that XOXO->You & Me is a giant medley.

Ugh! The show was so good!! I recorded the whole thing on my phone, it's pretty good quality, I'll put it up on soundcloud and post it a bit later.

It was so nice to see her up close (well, A3 block at AT this year was pretty good too!) with a few dancers and a stripped back stage with no props/gimmicks etc. It was just awesome. So exhausted! The show goes for 2.5hrs despite the short setlist because of the long MCs (lots of fan interaction). In the encore she reads out the list of numbers of people who get balls (they don't throw them out into the audience because of the size of the venues) and then picks two numbers out of a box and signs towels for those two people whose ticket numbers she has.

Also funny note that before the show a staff member comes out and lays down some 'ground rules' like 'no pushing' etc.

Her voice was pretty good all night, not 100% but quite good by her standards.

I dunno what more to say really!

damn ) she decided not to sing M at the day when someone record show

KEY :heart :heart

Dolls and Key!!

Also went to the show tonight, she was amazing! I got a standing ticket, and was so close to the stage, just the second row! She came close so many times, I think she waved at me at one point too which was nice xD Tweeted her and Timmy to thank them for a great show, Timmy said he saw me so it'd be cool if Ayu remembered me too xD

Personal favourites were Key, Startin', xoxo, Lelio and Sparkle. It was such a good atmosphere during the upbeat songs :D

The MC's got boring at times, there's only so many times pretending a microphone is a wand and doing anti-climatic drum roll noises can be even a little amusing :P

But it was a great concert, very glad I went :D

Nice to meet you Matt9210 and JEWELian even for a really short time!!


The show was really awesome and Ayu's voice is almost perfect in every single song she performed tonight! wish I can write a more detailed report again but I must sleep now. LOL

Here's my recording: https://soundcloud.com/goldtransam29...15-zepp-nagoya

(I love my friend's reaction at the start of Days hahaha)

Thanks for sharing JEWELian, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HER VOICE IS PERFECTION HERE!!!

Thanks for the recording!

OMG! I love you! XD
