Just came back from Ayu's concert
 

This is my first Ayu concert in Japan.
I got the tix yesterday from those ticket selling place in Shinjyuku. It's cheaper than the original price and I was able to get the 200 level tix (2nd floor).
Today is the second day of the tour in Saitama Super Arena.
So when I first got there, I went to the line up place for tour goods. They'r all quite nice but I only got the Poster A (close up one), a sport towel and the plastic light fan.

Since this is my first Ayu concert ever, I was touched by seeing that many people in the arena supporting Ayu. And seeing a concert in Japan meaning standing for the whole show.

I couldn't remember the sequence of the songs. But I belive there were more fast song than slow song. And of course most of then are from the newest album -- (miss)understood. Well, and some of the old songs like "UNITE"

I'm suprised to see how organized those fans were. Everyone move their fans at the same way at the particular part of the song.

The whole concert seemed short...but it lasted for 2 hrs.
Around 30 mins of talk time and wave making time which was FUN!!!

I've enjoyed seeing the whole concert. But since I'm not into Ayu as much as before, it'll be more enjoyable if I could watch her old concert instead with her singing A song for XX etc...

Anyways, it was a nice concert even those there wasn't much for the stage setting.

Songs that I remember....(not in order)

Alterna
Step you
Bold and Delicious
UNITED
Beautiful Day
Rainy Day
Heaven
Startin
Born to be free
Evolution
is this love
(miss)understood
Pride
Ladies nite
Humming 7/4

That's all I can remember...I'm sure there'r a few songs that I've left out =_=

38 DOLLARS FOR A CAP!? O_O

wooooooooooooooooow i'm so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AH NO FAIR! I WANNA GO >.< lol

:weep

I've been wondering this for awhile now....but what's that 'zippo' thingy? Looks like some eyeglass case.

amazing! are those 500 yen things poster? >< ooh man i soo wanna go to an Ayu concert...i'm SO buying the hat o_o

SUPER KOOOOOL THANKS!!!!!!!!

the concert goods are so expensive!!!!!!! but i guess they are worth it

a 'zippo' is a lighter ...a really well known term/name for smoker or
people to collect these types of lighters

Oh thanks for the info.

I hope you had fun!

I think the cap has gemstones in the stickyouty part of the cap x.x

Like gemstones that form the M.U A symbol xS

thanks a lot :yes
i wish i was there =X

I hate feeling so envious of someone.

Next year I promise......next year......

Thanks for posting those pics, now I know how much money to bring when I go...I knew the parkas were gonna be expensive! But the posters are cheap, so that's nice.

It's so cool that you got to go to an Ayu concert! I want to go!! :)

wow, congrats on getting to go to a concert though! i'm envious, lol.

Totally!:weep

QUESTION So how are the real ayufans (the japanese ones) how they behave how they act? and how is the vibe in the concert?!!

Yah, the fans do light up =P

Well, everybody moves the same way during some paritcular versus of every song. Of course they'r moving according the temple of the song. Like...during Evolution, when it's "wow yeah, wow yeah, wow yeah, wow yea~~h"....they hold the fans up and move them forward and down during "yeah"...

It's pretty hard to explain. But u'll learn those pattern naturally when u'r at the concert.

Oh, and for those concert goods...U can actually buy them online =_="

really? where, besides eBay?

what's 2nd level like? is it far away?

well, official avex website.

2nd floor is ok. Closer than I thought...since I was at Tokyo doom watching the world baseball classic the other day. Saitama Arena is not that big...So comapartively....it's not THAT far. And there'r these two big screen which show all the action of Ayu throughout the concert....

But i was really suprised by how tiny Ayu was....she's really petit @@ (not becoz I sit far away...)

ahh :) cool, I couldn't imagine how short some Asian people are >< the proportions would confuse me ><!

about how many feet would you say away from the stage were you? did you get a good view? :)

Well, Monana, that avex site only ships to Japan. Unless people want to resort to nippon-export.com (expensive) or ebay (somewhat trustworthy), there's not really any places to buy the goods.

If you do find a place to buy those goods, though, please let me know.

I'm currently living in Japan. So I was thinking buying those goods online instead of lining up at the concert...

The cheapest way to get those goods is to get a frd who's going to the concert...since u don't have to pay shipment, haha and they won't overcharge u.
