Yeah new thread!!!
Might wana add some new details like : ※LIVE PHOTO BOOK付き(全88ページ) ※箔押し&ホログラム・ジャケット仕様 (foil stamping and hologram effect on the jacket) ★SCREEN映像(2タイトル) |
So, it's confirmed that there's no 'making of's either this time? :(
|
tbh I think they could add more backstage scenes/making ofs, may be some documentary or special interview with ayu to make DVD/blu-ray release more interesting to someone who thinks about buying it but hesitates.
|
|
the dvd cover is GORGEOUS :heart
|
Quote:
|
Love the cover! Why is there no commercial yet? :(
|
Is the cover the same for all edition?
|
^ Yes.
|
So excited to watch the blu ray and relive the concert!
|
I really like the cover, it's simple, beautiful, and at least it's not the same image of the promotional pics and the LIVE CD cover again :) (I actually was wondering if they were going to use the same image for the DVD as well)
|
Uhm.. I've just realized that the first track of the DVD/BD is "interlude", and LOVEppears has a track called "Interlude".
I wonder if it's the same track. Maybe someone who attended the tour can shed some light on this? :lech |
^It's not the same, no.
|
Love the cover.
(I seen those elastic things everywhere, I don't know what's the big deal with them) |
The cover is beautiful!
|

her vocals still sound over-edited just like AT2007 |
The photobook cover looks great!
|
I CAN'T TELL HOW AMAZED AND SURPRISED I WAS WHEN I FIRST SAW THE OPENING
IT'S AMAZING!! EVERYTHING LOOKS AMAZING!! :love I don't know how her vocal really is like or how they edited the DVD, but I do hope that it won't sound too polished and we can't hear audience screaming. People here said the tour was so good, but I didn't expect it to look THIS good!! Also the photobook looks pretty. Looking forward~ :heart :luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2:luv2 |
A Song for XX!!!!! she is back!!!! I love her facial expression during the begining
|
Quote:
I was a bit underwhelmed by A BEST LIVE from the reviews at first but after looking at the video digest, it doesn't look half bad~ Probably on't end up as a favorite but I think it's looking pretty decent. :yes |
The floating POOL <3
|
Looks better than I expected
|
Oh the memories :')

love the preview!
so conclusion, A BEST LIVE = compilation with her: prev Best stage (CDL 06-07, AT2010), prev Best trick/prop (magic from AT 2006, cross, swing etc...), prev Best costume (silver for Memorial address, black for evolution, big dress for No way to say, checkered for Fly high, and that red skintight leather), and prev BEST song. |
Do you know if the Limited DVD edition with photobook will be released in HK/TW versions ?
Because I don't really want to spend around €75 for that.... |
Quote:
i really˛ LOVE it!! the intro to Tell All is just heart pumping! and everything looks great and the pool WOW :luv2 |
i have a lot of her dvds and blu-rays but i'm definitely not buying this one
i'm really tired of this songs on live, the stage actually look very "coundownlish?" and all over again reusing ideas...the concert look a little bit cheaper its like a "best of countdown 2006-2007" PART 2 A 3d edition it would have been better, at least the 3d is BIG plus |
I think it looks quite flat without SAKURA. The JEWEL-HEAVEN-SAKURA part was the best segment of the whole concert because let's face it, we have already seen almost all the other songs like one million times before. And letting the fans vote for the setlist, naturally that's what we get, so I don't blame them for the setlist. And I don't blame her cutting off SAKURA for all of her reasons but omg the concert now looks flat and repetitive. Because in the other new live song, Tell All, nothing really happends at all. She's simply performing it on the stage. Also no documentary, no extras, no new nothing. So really, too bad.
|
I was really surprised when i saw that opening for A song for xx it was really powerful.
The tour is actually like a recap of all memorable performances from other concert tours and i can't wait to see the entire show. As for the edited vocals i can't say for sure because i haven't heard her live in person still (will I ever lol) but i guess a few tweaks here and there isn't that much of a problem The 30th can not come soon enough |
There's really a little bit of everything in this tour. :yes
The stage is almost identical to the RnRC one, with some changes. I can see something like do you remember this? It suits the BEST concept, I think. :P Oh, and vocals don't seem as edited as for the CD, which is good.. or maybe is it just me? |
It looks way better than I expected... or I guess that's kind of inaccurate because I already expected it to look better since it always does when compared to the few pics/news clips we get :laugh All to say it looks really great!! I love the use of screens and Ayu sounds and looks awesome.
I don't think it'll beat HLs for me but it still looks like it'll be a blast to watch :yes |
Quote:
They didn't release LOVE again with the photo book though, but that's understandable because that version comes with an ayupan figurine. :yes |
Wha, this tour looks so pretty!
It still isn't nowhere near the last three tours we had, from what I can see (but even Ayu said she felt HOTEL Love Songs was her best tour, and I don't think A BEST was made for competing with that), but it seems neat and lovely. I can't wait to see it! I really loved the SURREAL bit! <3 |
Quote:
This concert looks great! I hope I'll be able to watch it quickly after my package'll be arrived at home. |

Well she looks so pretty!! Doesn't look 35 at all... I thought she looked my age... Which is 25.. Lol

Quote:
i think next year (after the anniversary) is the perfect time for her to left some old songs and formulas behind. People grow, move on and then they have different perception of life and art. She have to stop talking all over again about "We've arrived on this kind of world (evolution)" or "They always said I was a strong child (a song for xx)" and start finding new slogans as a more adult person. |
wait...Sakura isn't there? i saw her perform it in Yokohama, but did she not perform it later or something? :'(

Quote:
anyway, its a shame. that performance was one of my favorites from the concert. |
Quote:
People in Japan like A LOT older songs of Ayu, and I think that she doesn't want to lose the most part of her audience. The formula she uses is repetitive, but it works, and her Japanese audience is quite satisfied with that. |
Quote:
Weird, so i think Namie's formula is more western than ayu. |
Quote:
She has a different way of working than Ayu : Namie constantly changes her creative team, she tries new things, surprises her audience, whereas Ayu stays on what has been working for almost 10 years and only makes minor changes at a time. |
I think it's because Ayu has such a big hand in anything regarding her brand/image and typically is in charge of everything that we don't see as much change. It's a lot easier with an act like Namie imo to switch things up. The same goes for Perfume and some other acts. Unless however I'm wrong and Namie is somehow just as behind everything she does as Ayu is.

Next year should be interesting. I wonder if she'll mix LOVE again and the next album (if it's coming).

Quote:
It's always a stage with a stair (so she can perform a stair choreography), there's almost always a pole (for pole choreography), the outifits are almost always variation of knee high boots + mini-skirts or baggy pants + sneakers and even the setlist is not THAT surprising. I like some of her tours (Past<Future, Best Fiction, Live Style 2, Live Style 1 sux), but I know I will always see the same thing... Namie singing/dancing with the same style of choreography wearing a variation of something she always wear. |
Quote:
well, i know this is a special year for ayu because the anniversary thing. and this kind of years are always about "GREATEST HITS" everywhere. maybe the CDL of the end of the year it gonna show us some clues about what new things and ideas are coming for the 2014 for me the best of the year was LOVE again album...and the worst...i think this greatest hit cheap tour |
Quote:
At least from time to time Ayu adds something that makes me WOW not to mention that Namie is far too robot like sometimes when she is on stage... |
hopefully she eventually will axe shuya out of her ballad performances...

I do miss when she would perform ballads without a flailing dancer. Like her a-nation HANABIs and such.

So far Ayu and Namie had used a kind of same live formula over and over again. Kuu also had done this but she usually twist it a little here and there. Maybe it's because the fact that they tour every year / do live twice a year, the production cost of making new things is more expensive. I do hope Ayu can give each tour a distinguishable persona with different formula but with the current situation, I'm afraid it's still far from being realized. Still hoping she'll do something new this CDL or next year :) And my...I prefer the denim hoodie with tie dye colors rather than that tank top and shorts :P I'm tired of the whole over dramatic acting btw, with her gasping and everything, I mean she doesn't have to do it that often :| |
Ayu NEEDS to give Bye-Bye darling, petal and untitled 2 their due performances ><
I hope she performs Pray in CDL. |
I wonder how weight the "DVD + photobook" version was ?
Does anyone know it ? |
too bad I don't have a Blu-ray player. so I'll definitely buy the DVD!

I'm looking forward for watching this tour. Yes, it's a lot of performances she already did before, but it must be super cool to watch all those together in one single concert! It truly is a "A BEST LIVE" concert, the name is actually really accurate :yes
Quote:
Musically wise, on the other hand, it's true Namie keeps innovating herself (and herself only, because her songs are getting more and more generic imo), she's constantly changing her songs style (if that's a good or bad thing, that's another story, I personally don't like that super generic pop phase she's in right now). But Ayu's changing as well, if she wasn't people wouldn't be complaining all the time that she should release more songs like her older ones... |
I just realized that A BEST LIVE means "A BEST" live version. Like a compilation album being performed. And all this time I've been thinking as "the best live ever" -___- Well now that I knew, I'm just suddenly really eager to watch it!

Tiny preview of the photo book:

I love her expression on the cover :heart |
They only mentioned one version. I don't exactly know what that would mean in avex Taiwan's perspective. Sometimes they include the limited bonuses in the product descriptions, sometimes it's in the product name. They don't follow the official Japanese listing at times. It's pretty inconsistent. So... Anything could be the case here I think. I would like to be deluded until they put an official listing on their site :laugh I'm just really hoping that it comes with the photo book because I'm a sucker for those.
|
The photobook looks great. ♥

seriously, i really feel its doesn't fair if want compare Ayu tour with Koda or Namie tour, all of their show are identical in their own way own style:
Spoiler:
|
Every regular tour of hers aimed to promote an album had a visual and conceptual theme based on the album since My Story, and those IMO are enought to give each tour a different feeling.
|
You forgot that Namie must frown throughout the whole concert.
|
Lol Boys and Girls hurt my ears from all the long noises they're making.

I took a look at the tracklist and already go crazy for ever free, she actually sang it live, omg, the very 1st time right, so happy!! The last time about 13 yrs ago it was played in Ayu's concert tour accompanying with an impressive video and a message. I really really loved it:X
|
^ Sorry to burst your bubble but it's like concert tour where she just used it as a song for the interlude video.
|
She must not want to perform ever free... ever.
|
^
Sad, but true. (cries endlessly) |
Do you guys think we will get the rip or files of the disc little sooner?

I might be a bit late to the party here, but I've just watched the preview video things with short clips of all the songs and it does seem like a 'Best' concert when all put together. Good range of songs that show what she is known for and some new ones. I was a bit miffed about sakura being cut but I don't think it fit in with the overall vibe of the show in the end :(
|
Anyone know anything about the "Song of the Day" yet? I'm really itching to get a high quality version of Daybreak from the Osaka concert.

|
this will be the first DVD since 2008's concert that I'm actually gonna buy cos I'm so impressed with the setlist, costumes, effort put in etc.

More, than this, I'm wondering where the CDL announcement is. Usually its around this time I think?
Since its her anniversary I am hoping for another PCDL like set. I was really expecting her to do something like that during her anniversary tour, but she didn't. :( |
Quote:
CDL should be announced this week or next... we know it's coming. |
^i don't mean necessarily a set list of rare songs, but because they had the fan voting, I was expecting a pcdl length set list of what the fans voted for. Changing only 1 song per concert date was kinda weak IMO.
