Yeah, no way she can start from scratch so hopefully this concert isn't filled with rushed ideas... We could see a lot of re-using of performances this year.

But it wouldnt be right to channel electricity for the sake of having a smooth concert without blackout when the rest of japan are dealing electricity ration (is there such a term?)

^I do think they're balancing a very delicate balance between trying to make life go on as usual with a great show that will make people think about happier things and ending up coming off as being completely out of touch with the situation and just trying to rack money in.

But as far as it being possible for them to put on a huge, power consuming show, it definitely is.

What I meant with the show was that if they go with the Hope charity thing, I do hope they ditch the whole old show and come up with a simple show that doesn't require a ton of planning. Either go with the old or do something all new on a smaller scale. Anything in between and the charity would look tacked on.

They can just adapt the old concert... Most of the time, the only thing that really settle the theme for her performances are the outfits and the videos..

^
^ I also thought that they might do a smaller concert. Smaller stage, less crazy lightning effects and maybe less costume changes, too? I know this doesn't have to do with electricity, but it'd be another way to save money. I don't expect her to do a show like.. just standing on the stage and wearing one outfit all night, but on the other hand, she did just that for MSta as well! And I think that'd be really great actually. Would make it all about the music, feelings and the hope they want to give people. But either way, I think they'll put on a great show that will make people happy and maybe take some worries off their mind.

^ the costumes and videos were prolly already made by now, it would be a shame not to use them, especially when they've already spent money on those.

Yeah, I think something like HOPE&LOVE SONGS TOUR would be cool, but the HOTEL word thing in front of it is also kinda funny and cute in a way, like AYU's been running a hotel or something like that XD

Agreed. I hope she will save Hotel Love Songs for the CDL instead or something.

^ that would be cool.. I never thought of that. Countdown live with a bed theme... sleepie... :tired lol

The next time Ayu's concerts they do, I think they should use as much LED lights as possible (does not use very much electricity, as we know)...

thanks to ayumifans

^ So I'm guessing they can be thrown in the trash now that the name might be changed? :S

I think so =/

Also the theme of the tour is quite "expensive-feely"... But yeah, cool busses.

Cool buses :D

I'm thinking that she'll have Tour like Limited TA live one. So simple. It's just my thought :P

So glad she didn't go with HOPE.

Good. It's not superduper cheesy so I'm happy. ^^
