pimenta 31st December 2014 02:43 AM

I posted my review at the end of the other thread, so I'll post it here as well in case anyone feels interested in reading it :)

My review of the concert:
Spoiler:
Duty + Microphone:
The beginning was circus like, as expected, but not too much, just a few acrobatics and soon Timmy appears from the central stage, the curtain opens and Duty starts. Ayu is wearing and circus' presenter like top that ends in a dress. Tbh I don't think Duty is a great song for an opening, but I love this song, so I liked it anyway. Ayu sings on a elevated part of the stage while there are acrobatic stunts going on on the stage level.
During the end of Duty the dances remove the dress part of her outfit and she had a black mini-skirt under it. Then she sings Microphone in front of the stage, it's a powerful performance as expected from it. The whole beginning is like a dark circus theme.
After Microphone, Ayu leaves the stage and Yo-chan, Enrique, Timmy and Pricess perform while she changes outfit.

GAME + my name's WOMEN + 1 LOVE:
GAME is the performance where she does the air acrobatics, and looks sooo cool! It's like the reharsal video, and it's very high. She sings the song on the floor, and during the brakes the acrobatics happen. There's a part in the middle of the song that two male dances are doing acrobatics in the air with those ropes around her while she is suspended in the middle by just one hand, looks supper cool! And at the end she steps on the dancer's body and they all go up with her standing on him while he's only supported by those ropes, that guy must be super strong o_o She's wearing a golden short dress and a black jacket during this song btw.
my name's WOMEN is just like the MY STORY TOUR performance, her black jacket is gone and replaced by those feather tails on her back.
1 LOVE is really really cool. The feathers are gone and she's just with the golden dress. She and the dancers all dance in front of a screen, and the lights, the screen images and the dance steps all match. There's a part where she and the other female dancers lie on top of the male dancers' backs and open their legs and big hearts appear on the screen between their legs, brilliant haha I loved this performance!

End roll + Zutto... + Last Minute:
End roll was played while Ayu was out of the stage changing outfits. Michi played the piano and sang the complete song while Midoring danced around him.
Ayu sings Zutto... seating on a suspended half moon. She's wearing that amazing a-nation Singapore's dress and no shoes. Beautiful performance, and during the break before the last chorus she lies on top of the moon's face (yes, the moon has a face), so cute!
Last Minute was like the performance from the MS SUPER LIVE (but it was the full song, obviously), just her singing. So powerful and so awesome!
At the end of Last Minute a big ladder appears with that female dancer that always do the air acrobatics at Ayu's latest concerts (I keep forgetting her name >_<). After Ayu leaves the stage there's an act with that dancer and the ladder, while Michi plays the piano. There's a moment that she goes down spinning through the ladder's side upside down, it's awesome o___o By the end of the act a male dancer appears as well. At the end she "dies" and even spits fake blood!

Walk + forgiveness + progress + SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL + NOW & 4EVA:
For Walk Ayu appears at the center stage wearing a silver dress with a long white feather tail (I'm so bad at describing things >_<). It's a simple but very beautiful performance and on the 30th she cried while singing it
On the beginning of forgiveness the dancers appear on stage holding red shiny hearts, similar to the opening of the opening of PoM that they were holding spheres. They get aligned in a cross shape on an elevated part of the stage and Ayu appears at the center of them. The arrangements of the song were similar to PoM's performance. The CDL will be during this song, it's easy to tell because her message appears on the back screen, as well as messages wishing happiness and so on on a screen on the top. She cried during the end of forgiveness on both the 29th and the 30th.
For progress the long tail pf the dress is removed, and she's left with the silver short dress. I love this song so much, always sounds so powerful!
SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL is like always, and was super fun. I was soooo happy those songs were back in the setlist, because I don't know when I will be able to see Ayu live again, and I really wanted to see them performed live. The energy during this part is awesome. Right before the last evolution chorus a small part of Beethoven's Symphony No.9 started playing with a male dancer spinning super fast doing air acrobatics, then the chorus started, I think that looked really cool.
NOW & 4EVA was like the Feel the love Showcase performance, I think it's a good song for this ending part.

Encore:
The encore starts with a DJ playing popular EDM tunes, it really helps bulding up the mood for the EDM section that is coming. Then the Blasterjaxx remix of Feel the love sarts playing and I thought she was going to sing Feel the love, but turns out Ayu appears and starts singing Movin' on without you. She's wearing the concert's purple t-shirt and black shorts. She sings Movin' on without you seated on the side of the DJ table on an elevated part of the stage, I think she was seating and not doing much because she seemed to be concentrating a lot to sing this song since it's not her normal pitch, but she sounded absolutely great!
XOXO and Lelio were super fun, she sang Lelio on the center stage. The energy during this whole EDM part was amazing and I LOVED it. Most fun encore ever! (not counting MC parts of previous encores, of course)
Boys & Girls was like always, whith she and the dancers throwing balls at the audience. The audience gets so exited during this song, it's so great to see it live and sing along.
how beautiful you are was beautiful. It was like the previous times she sang it on the end of concerts (it did look like the end and she did say it was the last song), with dances presentation and they all thanking all sides of the audience and everything, like a real ending. On the 29th though the curtains didn't go down at the end of it, so even with the lights off you could see the dances lining up and you knew they were preparing to yet another song, but on the 30th they decided to change and the curtains went down at the end of this song.
Not much after it "ended" Born To Be... started playing (and on the 30th the curtains raised again). I love love love this song, so I was really happy o see it in the setlist, and it's an amazing song the end the concert! The arrangements were similar to the performance of PoM, with the whole "TO BE FREE!" part at the beginning and end, but of course it wasn't "orchestrated" like all PoM songs were. At the end she thanked the audience again and the curtains went down this time for good.


Overall this was an AMAZING concert. The setlist is awesome, her vocals were really really good (and no lip sync, I can guarantee no song sounded "the same" on the 29th and 30th, they all sounded very much live) and she's so perfect! I love her so much, this concert and her energy made me so happy. I'm glad I decided to invest a bit more to get good tickets for today as well instead of only attending the 29th (I was planning to go to a different concert today, but I gave up and went to Ayu's instead). I like it way more than the Feel the love Showcase. It's such an amazing concert!

Didn't she go last year also? It's pretty cool if it's true because they are like my top 2 favorite singers of all time.

It might of been a misunderstanding that one of the shows will be broadcast today, I hope not but I think people might of confused that M-ON TV will be showing her 12/31 show on 1/31, not M-ON TV broadcasting on the 12/31 unless another stations got one for today

Thats good. I could only find info from M-ON TV. I guess this one will be more raw, the one on M-TV will be polished a bit vocal wise, then the full polished version with the DVD.

You gotta have muscle to do those aerial stunts. I wouldn't last a second :laugh

She looks great. Loving the hair <3

Deep snow 31st December 2014 03:37 PM

Wow this concert seems fantastic! Kind of bummed that she lowered the pitch for GAME but then it's understandable because of the stunts she needs to do, which are AMAZING. It looks so dangerous oh my goodness ayu please be careful and don't fall :D

Coelacanth 31st December 2014 03:47 PM

whoa, I think she's singing live during GAME. really impressed with the effort she's putting in.

YAAAAAS @ live vocals when she's flying through the goddamn air, like when will your faves
YAAAAAS @ Duty arrangement being creepy and ominous as shit

NOPE @ Timmy being the over-the-top circus master--Gomi did it better

AyuGAME 31st December 2014 04:19 PM

this year CDL is so grand and high budget...i believe that she will use most of the performance for her AT 2015...maybe for AT 2015 she just elevate small portion of it

That stage is amazing, and i don't think she has ever sported red lipstick in a concert before!

My Rainbow 31st December 2014 04:41 PM

She looks younger!!! She must be in a really happy moment of her life. I hope it lasts long.

KuuXAyu-fan 31st December 2014 05:46 PM

I really want to hear Zutto live!
I'm really hoping the online version of the tour leaks. I hate the way Avex autotunes the DVD for no reason when Ayu sounds great without it....

cmon! how you watch it? I have "media not found" message

RealLight 31st December 2014 06:25 PM

^I got this message on GAME/my name's WOMEN, but it worked fine a few minutes later.

marzie 31st December 2014 06:32 PM

The concert looks amazing! :heart (Though I hope that after next year's tour she retires this circus theme for good...)

Haven't seen all of it yet, but GAME and 1 LOVE performances are probably my favorites. Finally she is trying something new! I love the new arrangement for Duty aswell. Overall she looks and sounds great!

RealLight 31st December 2014 06:36 PM

I should've just keep my mouth shut, now none of the link are working for me lmao i'll have to wait until someone upload it on Suki.

But, for what i've watched so far, i loved everything, especially her voice, it hasn't sound so good in AGES, she nailed it on my name's WOMEN. I've never payed to much attention to GAME, but that perfomance was great. And for End roll, even if it wasn't Ayu there, the perfomance was nice and very sweet.

KuuXAyu-fan 31st December 2014 06:36 PM

It's not working for me either and that Ayutube facebook only has Premium Showcase vids..

Anna.L 31st December 2014 06:38 PM

I'm Speechless with Forgiviness

Nukaru 31st December 2014 06:43 PM

Load clip, wait for the 'media not found' error and hit refresh everytime the background stays black and shows the same error. Once the player finds the file there'll be a screenshot of the concert in the background. Wait for a couple of seconds and hit play.

BlackSilence 31st December 2014 06:43 PM

i've ot blank screen on a couple (of course the ones i wanted to watch the most lol)

Nukaru 31st December 2014 06:46 PM

Solution: http://ahsforum.com/forum/showpost.p...4&postcount=60

The most it took for me were 5 tries. And don't press the play button in the middle, press the one in the left corner. Works for me. (with every video)

BlackSilence 31st December 2014 06:54 PM

am i the only one who really enjoyed the moon part? she really did great job with LM.

RealLight 31st December 2014 06:55 PM

@Nukaru, it worked for on some links, i'm gonna try on the rest of them later, thanks! :D

KuuXAyu-fan 31st December 2014 06:57 PM

Omg when she starts crying hard at the end of Walk :(

Aderianu 31st December 2014 06:59 PM

I catch all parts from main part and now reuploading them to another site

Violently Happy 31st December 2014 07:14 PM

It's not working for me!!! :'( I keep refreshing it over and over! >.<

Anna.L 31st December 2014 07:14 PM

This part with Walk, Forgiviness and Progress worth the hole concert

primavera♥ 31st December 2014 07:16 PM

Walk is such a gem to me. And it's so strangely emotional. I really can't wait to get home and watch her performance of walk. It doesn't surprise me that she would cry. I would too. And will, when I watch her lol.

Gosh this is exciting. She sounds great.

Uknow! 31st December 2014 07:16 PM

I'm crying because of walk ;(
I love the concert. 1LOVE and Game incredible. I was surprised seeing her doing the final dance of My Name's Women.

Aderianu 31st December 2014 07:21 PM

so, it will works here after ~30 minutes

Thanks! I'm going to wait! I watched some clips a few pages ago, and I'm so excited!!!!

RealLight 31st December 2014 07:31 PM

Gotta say, i had my hopes really high on S~e~S and i fell hard on the ground face first. The cutesy voice and the change on the arrangement (that ''violin'' solo on SURREAL...)... just :no

maxikot 31st December 2014 08:17 PM

I haven't watched the whole thing, just parts cause was super excited and i see she is really trying to surprise people. Ideas like moon or 1love screens, circus duty are really great. I see Ayu is really working hard now both on music (single was lovely and had her feeling all over) and lives. Also her voice, she is reaching parts that were long forgotten :o zutto, walk...

stepYOU1234 31st December 2014 09:30 PM

I might try and watch it later but I'm excited so far. Aerial stunts for GAME is inspired, the outfits look good and her lipstick at the start makes her look even more beautiful. I love the effort she is putting into lives now and I think there's real potential in some of the ideas.

FoxyPinkGirl 31st December 2014 11:42 PM

I don't want to signup for something just to watch a clip :no I'll wait for somebody else to upload for downloading

chocopockymaster 1st January 2015 12:22 AM

I was thinking of waiting to watch the whole thing before stating my opinion, but I have to say--I'm only as far as 1 LOVE and she is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. I don't remember her voice ever sounding this good, tbh. Not just the pitch, but the control, and not sounding out of breath despite the complete lack of lipsyncing thus far. GAME was amazing and the screens in 1 LOVE are giving me life. I hope avex barely tweaks her vocals for the DVD/bluray release (asking them to leave the vocals alone would be asking too much of them, I'm sure) because this is one of her best performances in a long-ass time. :luv2

Having watched some of my promising parts, her vocal is good with the lower tunes ... Trio of her new songs are excellent... I must say WOW while watching ...
The most disappointing part to me is "XOXO-Lelio", her voice is weak and "have fun" is not high enough and lack of energy
This show is pretty cool, custome,... I 'm pretty sure that Arena Tour 2015 will similar to this one ... :)

Last minute had me sobbing and just as I had recovered, forgiveness sent me spiraling into more tears. I can't deal. She just looks so regal and beautiful, and I've yet to see any of the crazy overacting that usually makes her concert-watching (when it comes to her recent tours) so painful.

Anyone who's still stuck in 2014, if you want to watch the video Aderianu so kindly posted and ring in the new year with Ayu, make sure you start the video at 23:06:47 local time. That'll align the countdown part perfectly with hitting midnight on January 1st :)

I just watched some clips on YouTube. I can see what Ayu was going for. It definitely has a cirque du soleil and Las Vegas shows (Ive been to several, I love that city) feel to it. I can't wait to watch the whole thing :D

Definitely! I love the effort she is putting in and focusing on her fans instead of sales. It is coming together and making sense in my head now!

So far it seems more like an Arena Tour than a CDL! And I can hear her breathing in GAME so that looks like it is live. Ayu must be really working hard at the moment! It's sort of like she was always confident in singing on stage but now she is reaching into the other areas to create a more complete performance. She isn't shying away from dancing as much such as the end of my name's WOMEN. Loved the use of lighting backgrounds for 1LOVE- sometimes it was a bit much and hard to see Ayu. Zutto was cute, Last Minute was great and walk almost made me cry. The background lights for forgiveness are just beautiful and Ayu's voice for most of it!! :luv2 Nitpicking, the beaded top doesn't flow that well with the feathery skirt. Some beaded overlay on the skirt and a couple of feathers say on the shoulders would have blended them better. It's just obvious that the skirt is an add on.

Also, Ayu just looks so beautiful. I think she's got a new lipstick colour on but it looks amazing on her.

I am excited for the tour next year!

1 LOVE performance superb!

Michi voice is so good..i love his cover of End roll

andycruize 1st January 2015 02:58 AM

Crazy!!I can't believe that ayu sing really good live, but now I believe it. Her voice is really great

kotora 1st January 2015 03:04 AM

Duty - I love the new version. ayu performs it well with the deeper voice. The dress <3.
Microphone - It is ok. Nothing special to me. I prefer RnRC tour one.
GAME - It is surprised to me. air acrobatics for a rock song!
my name's women - Recycle from arena tour 05.
1LOVE - I LOVE THE VISUAL EFFECT! I was like Beyonce? ?? ? ?
End roll - first time ever someone performs ayu's song in tour!
Zutto... - WOW! First time and the thing I have been waiting for many years - ayu performs on Moon! This. Please.Be. For. Disc Cover.
Last Minute - Reminds me Memorial Address performance.
Walk - Reminds me PoS opening.. ayu cries at the end.. why?
forgiveness - Creative but I feel like she is removing my heart and moving around on the stage.
progress - ok performance

freedreamer 1st January 2015 03:09 AM

Are there any sources to watch?? I would love to see 1 LOVE?

edit:
Just watched Zutto to forgiveness

Zutto: some high notes were almost there but those she hit were really beautiful :D
Last minute: PERFECTION OMGOSH. Ayu's emotions were so on point and it didn't affect her vocals. Love this so much! I think this deserves a live audio rip
Walk: Really emotional especially when it builds to the chorus. Definitely a strange tug at the heartstrings :'(
forgiveness: Wow, this was super powerful as well! I loved the part when the dancers put their wishes up. Very symbolic :D

I think Ayu definitely gained so much more control over her voice and that vibrato is GORGEOUS to my ears especially when she does it stably and strongly

hidekirby 1st January 2015 03:11 AM

Ok guys...

I just watched Duty+Microphone & Walk+Forgiveness, and OH GOD.

She looks ridiculously amazing... Dark hair + red lips... oh my :love
The stage is great too, nothing really fresh but it reminds me of RnRC tour which was perfect.

About her voice...
I was a bit worried when I heard the first video previews, but the "whole" thing in itself is far from being bad. I won't say it's amazing or really good like some of you said because it's definitely not.
But god what an improvement!!! Her voice is not as flat as it used to be, she can hit some notes I thought she wouldn't; at times I was surprised thinking she almost sounded like she was lipsynching (while she is definitely not) or like it already was processed a bit.
Her vocals are really powerful when needed, gentle when needed, she has much more control on them. Of course she is not hitting every notes and you can see she is still struggling when she is trying to hit high notes (I don't know the term...). But once again what an improvement... I'm quite impressed and I hope she will still work on it cause there is a lot of room for improvement. But I'm relieved she didn't just focus on aerials and visuals (I'm not fond of them at all) but also seriously worked on her vocals.

I don't know if it's the theme or else but it definitely gives me a RnRC vibe and I hope I will enjoy it as much! Hope the dancers/Timmy won't be overexposed and kill the amazingness.
It's been a long time I haven't been so excited by a new CDL/Tour. I'm glad everyone is excited too!

PS: too bad she is crying for the second part of Walk, I would have wanted to know how she would do for the orgasmic ending ("ikiteru yo"). I must say I doubt she can hit the notes without any help.
forgiveness new arrangements just destroy an awesome song...
Sorry for my awful english -_- and HAPPY NEW YEAR!

jbrat2219 1st January 2015 03:29 AM

All of the positivity has me really excited to see this! I haven't really liked a Countdown Live of hers since '06!

It's not a new arrangement--that and progress essentially have the same arrangements that they did for the opening of POWER of MUSIC. The choreography, the outfit she wore, everything seemed to be a throwback to that, which was awesome. forgiveness from PoM had the potential to be awesome but she killed it with the over-acting and the ad-libbing...but this time around she totally nailed it.

Tom Punks 1st January 2015 04:07 AM

OK, so I just watched it.

The first half of the concert is good. I really liked 1 LOVE despite the awful camera positioning. The moon + starry BG for Zutto... was cute. It got kind of boring starting with Walk, and increasingly more so as the next... every song for the rest of the concert... was extended to 10 minutes each. Ode to Joy in the middle of SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL was SO wtf lmao. It didn't feel like a full concert overall, considering the second half was basically just the same thing over and over. It didn't feel complete or like it really climaxed idk. It really could've used at least SOMETHING fun in the second half to make it not so monotonous. But then I don't consider SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL fun at all so whatever lol

I still don't think saving all the "fun" for the encore was a remotely good idea, but the first half of the concert was really solid. The second half was just boring same old same old.

holy_arrow 1st January 2015 05:30 AM

Does anyone realize that Her vocal is very weak and sleazy ?
