Was AT2002 the one where they integrated behind-the-scenes stuff into the actual concert DVD? I liked that, but only because it was unique to that DVD. If she did it for this tour, I wouldn't like it so much.

Agreeing, I'd like an extra DVD with overseas and behind-the-scenes footage.

And a TV version. *greedy Ayu fan* :P

This one surpases it.

They stopped doing that for her tours since then. It's been 5 years. Give them a break.

If anything, we'll get a normal Japan-tour DVD box-set, and some sort of exclusive one with a bunch more concert footage..


You haven't even seen it yet. :rolleyes

Meeeeeeeeeeeeh. D:
I hate all the old songs there, I wanted JEWEL to be a properly performed song as well. ):

Not you too, mikey! LOL

I think if there was too much newness, then the audience would kind of just be standing/sitting there.

It'd be like Angela Aki's concerts T_T [not that she doesn't perform.. her audiences are just whack..]

I want to see Ayu flying around on a floating piano for JEWEL! :eviltongu

This isn't Jolin's Australia tour >[

We already know what's going on. Lots of dancing, ballerina-ness, a revisit to Victorian-oldish clothing.. corsets and stuff. lol

Man, I wonder just how kiss o' kill was performed.

wow namie amuro?! i think namie really admired ayu, you can see it when both of them attend music station, when ayu talks, namie always hear it carefully and respond to it like laugh

I think Ayu is just a very talkative person, no matter who's near her.. lol


I hope if they do some sort of documentary for AT07, they explain their song selection.
I mean, the new tracks are almost all represented, so just why not all of them? Maybe the concert can only be so long..
Or maybe momentum was scrapped because it just wouldn't sound good live..

Wanna see the Boys & Girls performance =3

The carnaval thing, just like for the STADIUM TOUR 2002 =3
[Loved the Boys & Girls performance in ST'02 =33]

It's a very nice and neat tracklist indeed
everything seems included

Yeah but I still want to see momentum and It was performance

Hope it would be great!!!

I wonder if she'll do a "forgotten" album song-concert..

That'd be weird.. Will, criminal, HOPE or PAIN, Liar, It was, momentum and so on..

We were talking about the setlist itself anthony, not the concert performance.

Exactly.

Ayu probably tries each song "live" in that studio with the mirrors + band equipment and narrows the songs down from there..

I thought her tracklist was fabulous!! I mean, before I knew it, the concert was over. It went by even faster that AT06, in my opinion. I guess she did sing fan favourites because, as she said herself in the MC, she's going to perform to fans who have never seen her live. I guess she wants to please them with older songs. I was really happy to hear her sing appears and SEASONS. And I was quite satisfied with the songs she chose off of Secret (yes, Momentum's a favourite of mine, but she HAD to choose, right?). Kiss o kill was... wow. It's now officially grown on me, LOL!

Something else I didn't add, but it's a bit OT, the set & decor was simpler than previous concerts, but just as WOW!! The costumes as well, nothing extravagant. I think it's all because she needs to move all those things overseas.

Shuya is Ayu's lead dancer. She only danced with HIM!!!! But you know what, after seeing him from really up close (I was sitting 4 seats from the stage set in the middle)... WOW!!! He's really good!!

I´m not unhappy with this tracklist but it seems to em that ayu likes other songs of her than I do Xd also I love evolution unite humming 7/4 and audience but i think she used them to often XD

to leaf momentum out was a good decicion...it is to wintery...better at the CDL! but i don´t like SEASONS that much...and I wished for startin and step you (my favs live)...maybe also a better NEVER EVER then the one from alst CDL^^ still looking forward to the dvd end of teh year^^

Yeah, it's cause Mitsu and Naoto left to do other things :<

Well, the people attending the concert were just so happy to hear her sing SEASONS again. It was such a big song!!! Ayu herself said she was going to sing a very nostagic song, before she sang SEASONS.

Evolution, Unite!, audience... If she left them out, there would be a lot of disappointment. People look forward to such songs, at least that's my opinion. And starting with Evolution just caught everyone off guard, I think. It was nice though... first part was very slow, and then she picked up.

Note on the stage: somebody asked me if there were any special effects and such. There were explosions when she and the dancers broke free of the cages, fire bursts (I can't remember for which songs though!), her dancers (4 of them) hanging from hoops (circus/gymnastics). Oh yeah, when ayu got on the stage, she came down from the ceiling!!! Hmmm... other than that, was there anything else? she disappeared often from the middle stage (litteraly in front of my eyes!). And I loved her lit up stage (all the lights kind of reminded me of "My Honey" AT05, but in a different way).

yasuda: can you give us a more detailed summary or something? Does this concert have moving screens or anything special? and also how would you rate this concert...does it live up to the previous tours? especially AT05 & AT06...thanks!

Let me work on the detailed summary. I have to write in bouts because my 2 kids are putting the computer room upside down, aaarrrgghh!

What I can say is that she had the middle stage (okay, what's the right term?) going up, with chandelier-like crystal hanging from it, and the main stage, middle part also came up a few times. The decor wasn't as lavish as previous concerts though. At the end, the lighted up stage moved to make up 3 hearts. I'm so bad at explaining, argh! On both sides of the stage were curtains from where the dancers came out,carrying lanterns, during the Part of Me performance.

To be 100% honest, AT06 was better in terms of stage, decor and extravangant costumes (and concert goods). A lot of decors reminded me of previous concerts (the prison, the lighted up stage)...
