Things different from 20/9 show:
1. In the MC part, Ayu sang the acappella of "Who..." !!
2. When ZIN was teaching the steps of MY ALL, Ayu also teach and said a lot of mandarin~
3. Before the encore, the dancing A-logo shows a sentence of "今日去澳門呀" (Today go to Macau), it is not sure whether she went to Macau today or go to Macau after the concert (tomorrow?)
4. Independent was not performed today, it propably because of the acappella performance and the late start of the show (nearly 15minutes later than yesterday...started at around 8:35pm)
Videos from the AT08 HK show in mp4 format:
Marionette - MF
MY ALL - MF

The first outfit is the one that's like aluminum and it's for talkin' 2 myself and is this LOVE?.
Second outfit is the pink plaid getup and that's for Depend on you and Fly high.
Third outfit is dark and is for (don't) Leave me alone. And after that, she removes part of the outfit and it becomes red for a fourth outfit for decision and my name's WOMEN. [the outfit with a red tail behind it]
Fifth outfit is a sort of white dress for Marionette.
Sixth outfit is a long white dress that has an extending skirt for HANABI and End roll.
Seventh outfit is a shiny outfit that looks like money[?] for SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL and Mirrorcle.

Setlist information
Spoiler:

Quote:

01. reBiRTH
This time round it's NOT a pirate theme.

02. The Judgement Day
Video is regarding some pirates on the ship

03. talkin' 2 myself
Acappella version during the first 2 lines.

04. is this LOVE?
Nothing special but it kind of heat up the atmosphere

05. Depend on you
A shocking performance, the video at the start is kind of similar to 06's Step You

06. Fly high
About the same as the past performances

07. (don't) Leave me alone
Video was Ayu being caught by several women, being tied onto a big circular board which ppl play darts with. During the chorus Ayu was turned 360 degree, spinning and singing at the same time. It was said to be a superb performance

08. decision
Something similar to 05's GAME. But GAME was nicer..

09. my name's WOMEN
Similar to Yr05's performance. Just that this time round the whip is in red.

10. Marionette -prelude-
The video was pretty long here.

11. Marionette
A splendid performance, exactly like the PV.

12. HANABI
A NON-mermaid look. Everyone should be surprised this was sang.

13. End roll
The most surprised song to be sang throughout the night. A relatively good vocal here.

14. SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL
Nice costumes.

15. Mirrorcle World
The best performance of the night. The whole ship appears on the stage!

ENCORE

16. Dearest
A very cute Ayu here. The pianist started playing before Ayu finished her speech lol. Ayu kind of, 'reprimanded' him and started all over again acting as if nothing happened lol.

17. Voyage
Good performance!

18. independent
Everyone dance together!

19. Boys & Girl
Whole cohort sang together!

20. MY ALL
Ayu cried throughout the whole song..

Overall it's said to be a splendid live performance.

水は無かったです。

ミラクルはステージに巨大な船が出てきました。
今回は公演中にステージが何回か様変わりしますよ
Someone's comments that I hope someone could translate better.. D;
- no water show [or something]
- talkin' 2 myself has fire effects
- red lasers before decision
- some sort of sheet is put on Ayu during (don't) Leave me alone
- Marionette is basically a recreation of the PV, with a huge carousel with the same costumes
- some sort of ship the size of the stage is gone by Mirrorcle [or shows up during the
show?]
- stage changes a few times during the show

I hope someone else can translate better though XD

- black hat/beret from the beginning of Mirrorcle World's PV is worn during the encore portion of the concert
Thanks to hiroshi_ben from mixi:
- the stage setup is like this:

FRONT STAGE
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
| |
REGULAR CIRCLE STAGE


- the boat that appears is pink and black, and Ayu wears a shiny red outfit
- there was a thank you message from Ayu that basically said that she will work hard and such
- someone posted that before the boat comes out the whole stage BECAME DARK and the screen on the centre stage disappeared all of a sudden AND the curtain falls down with illuminations on the stage...and immediately a video was showed on the side screens and got everyone attentions...and just by the video end,the curtain opens suddenly again with the HUGE boat with the A mark(a bit pirate ship feel) appear on the centre stage that shocked everyone...because it was really big and extravagant...and apparently a lot of people were saying that the BOAT looked really cool and huge and the had no idea how ayu will to shift the boat to oversea for her oversea tour~haha
-someone mentioned the outfit for the boat performance was ayu wearing a ship captain outfit and she looked really great there

chocopockymaster 30th June 2008 01:10 PM

Woo!

I want the DVD now so I can relive it over and over again...:luv2

Melrose 30th June 2008 01:37 PM

Awesome costumes! Very sophisticated and not very kitschy like last years. :yes

The (d)lma outfit is awesome and reminds me of a fighting movie/game/series.

AyUmIXx 30th June 2008 01:53 PM

woww finally the SHIP!!!!!!!!!
thanks so muchh!!
and i guess that Ayu noticed that she has turned pretty fat..so in the pink school outfit...she used to show her stomach..but on the final day, she didn't show anymore..
see??

but i'm happy for her..that means she's so happy these days to gain more weight on her :)

AyuGAME 30th June 2008 01:56 PM

just watched the clip
and seriously, i can't hold to say that she is fatter than she used to be...look at her foot...its big...her chin and cheek...(O_O) she really need to take on diet, i mean she already 29 years old, her body methabolism is not same anymore...especially on woman...she is an idol, she really need to take care her physical looks...not like hikki that just a singer, no one care about her look...

but the concert look SPECTACULAR...and she sounded okay to me...much better than her CDL 07-08 tv version vocal...THE SHIP is so (O_O)...beyond fantastic

ayumisrael 30th June 2008 02:13 PM

Even that ayu got some kg she still looks very pretty, I think some people exaggarate since she's far from being fat XD
Just got chubby a bit.
I'm sure she will take those kgs down again, when she sang JEWEL on TV she was the same and then became thinner and now that the tour is over and she has some days or weeks break (recordings just some new songs maybe?) until she will start rehearsing a-nation and asian dates she will be less stressed.

As I said I'm looking forward to see that concert o.o

se7entheaven 30th June 2008 02:15 PM

do u guys notice in the video that ayu wear different earrings in left n rite ear in the encore outfit? she had heart shape on the rite ear n big diamond on the left ear LOL

I think the best HANABI performance is either Stadium Tour 2002 or a-nation 2005, I love a-nation 2005 HANABI VERY VERY MUCH

AyuHamasaki01 30th June 2008 02:16 PM

yay for the 4th thread :D

I really want this tour on DVD.
When did they shoot for the DVD?

alternarist 30th June 2008 02:35 PM

hmm.. can someone pls clarify this.. cos i watched the video on the last day of the concert.. and the japanese host actually said the word "mermaid" during the part of HANABI performance..

So is it truly a mermaid-theme although there isnt any water involved??

all in all, ayu look beautiful in it.. gorgeous!!

That type of dress is called that way, because of how it gets wider at the bottom and how it kind of flows over the entire body in a mermaid shape :D

And yea she does sing MY ALL REALLY GOOD for crying. I guess "someone" was wrong when he said that when you cry you have to sing off key.

In my opinion, if the bottom of the "mermaid" dress gets longer and flowy, it pretty much looks like a mermaid. Or rather, they can get ayu to sit on a giant clam XD

well, just try singing while crying.. it's hard to get in tune.

Jwiz 30th June 2008 03:02 PM

The performances are simply marvelous. The BOAT is uber-cool.

And i agree with ayuGAME, ayu seems to be more chubby now, especially her thighs.

stickyrice 30th June 2008 03:05 PM

Again - stick thin = overrated.

Unless she reaches where Queen Latifah is, this is honestly nothing.

Anyways -the concert looked amazing. Mirrorcle World looked like a LOT of fun and I'm really interested in that performance!

prussian blue 30th June 2008 04:44 PM

i wondeer when will this release in dvd cause i wanna watch it...

oh,.. we have to wait after the asia tour stop *Sigh*

freedreamer 30th June 2008 05:08 PM

Ow...Ayu sounds like...she really really bawled out when saying that few lines during encore...

and THE BOAT IS FREAKIN AMAZING OMGOODNESS!!!
and I love the T2M costume and the Sailor wan....hot..
she sounds good in MW...im impressed...

Fly High sounds nice too

one more thing I LOVE THE NEW STAGE!!! THAT SCREEN IS SO THEATRICAL

that wig for Marionette does look oldy...but the dress is nice..

Melrose 30th June 2008 05:24 PM

OMG!! She didn't lip synch evolution!! O_O This is groundbreaking!
Ayu is sooo awesome *________*

the choreography of Fly High is awesome XD much better than cdl 06-07

I get the impression (d)lma is supposed to be a surprise thing like kiss 'o kill, which is why they dont show it or something?

hanabi sounds amazing <333

lol they're showing MY ALL 50000 billion times. I think JP likes the song. but the instrumentals sound REALLY off in one part of the song. o_O only a few secs but really weird

Edit: ooooh, she's not lip synching Marionette! maybe she lip synched (d)lma and that's why they're not showing it... *paranoid* I just want to see that performance so much XDD

MissElin_ 30th June 2008 06:41 PM

Thx for posting everything truehappiness!

And did you notice you guys?

She have a shirt all the way down now, not only over her arms like in the first show. She changed.
http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...Elin/shirt.jpg

And also, her 10th symbol that looks a bit like her tattoo sits on the same spot on her shoulder on her t-shirt. Kind of cute. ^^
http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...sElin/wing.jpg

And OMG that ship looks soooo awesome! I know ppl have wroten about it but its really hard to imagine before you actually see it. It must have been really cool to have seen it in real! ^^

Hopefully they won't wait till she's done with Asia and just release the final Japan show. I don't care about another Asia Tour documentary...

But they definitely did film it for dvd, it's pretty obvious from the news footage.

'Big Flying Ship'

Height 6m, Length 7.2m, Width 5.8m

The performances looks really awesome from the clips~! can't wait for the dvd to be released...probably will have to wait like a year...=(

truehappiness 30th June 2008 08:41 PM

Uhm, MY ALL is shown a lot because it's the closing song. It's like how they usually focus on the new song performed during the MC along with the final track... but this time there was no new song.. :[

They all stressed that she "cried" at some point during the live. I think all the news articles did.

It seems as though it's meant to simulate her actual tattoo on the T-shirt, since all of them have it. The tattoo was probably kept in mind when designing the logo for this tour.. @_@

Aggar 30th June 2008 08:46 PM

MW seems to be the best performance. I can't wait to see it.

Not~Yet 30th June 2008 09:17 PM

They sure talk a lot about Aneki's death in those clips... And I guess at one point when M was playing in the bg they were talking about that message Ayu posted some days ago and were more concentrating on her CDL-time depression than the awesome show -___-
But gosh I can't wait for the DVD! Ayu looks so good and healthy, definately not fat. Like someone said before, she has a woman's body now. :P MW ship totally rocks o___o

futureLOVE 30th June 2008 09:34 PM

I know this is random but does anyone know if she has as many dancers as she did for CDL 07-08??? like Becky and all of those?

truehappiness 30th June 2008 09:39 PM

I'm not sure if Becky was at AT08, but..

She had Subaru, Shu-ya, Zin, Ryoji, Maro, and Go-mi at CDL07-08 along with Chisa, Midoring, Becky, Kayanocchi, Aki, and Kaeru. :o

If you're talking about me - which I do not doubt, and which is pretty pathetic - I'd like you to indicate WHERE I said that you HAVE to sing off key when you cry. I know that I said if Ayu sounded bad when she was singing on CDL it was because she was crying, but I don't recall (and I don't know where the hell you picked this up) ever saying that a person crying = instant off key singing all the time. :) And if you can't show me where I said it precisely as that I really think you should knock it off because it's quite childish. And I'm also a girl, in case you couldn't grasp the whole "female" bit below my avatar.

It doesn't seem like Ayu sang a new song on the final show - hmmm. I wonder if she's still working the kinks out of it, or if we'll get a late summer release? Perhaps she'll perform it at a-nation D:?

namiie 30th June 2008 10:12 PM

That ship looks incredible! I haven't really liked the MW lives I've heard so far, tbh, but with a set like that I'm sure the AT version of MW is much better.

Don't you think it's more than "kept in mind"? Like, the logo is identical to the tattoo except for the regular A.

truehappiness 30th June 2008 10:17 PM

Well, that's what I meant. They were thinking of the tattoo when they were designing it. :D

Melrose 30th June 2008 10:21 PM

Yea the tattoo does seem kind of conviniently at the same spot lol. I think they were thinking of the tattoo too. ^^

And I'm also a girl, in case you couldn't grasp the whole "female" bit below my avatar.

It doesn't seem like Ayu sang a new song on the final show - hmmm. I wonder if she's still working the kinks out of it, or if we'll get a late summer release? Perhaps she'll perform it at a-nation D:?

I don't see what your gender as to do with it? Unless you're assuming that I'd instantly start giving you compliments and praise you to the heavens.

What you did mean was something along the lines of that she was singing false just because of the crying. (I said that she wasn't singing false because of just the crying, and then you said "Then you are incorrect.") (That was also the whole point of this, because you were saying something like that I can't want a crying performance + good vocals and that I was contradicting myself because I said I like good vocals and about CDL07-08 that the vocals of untitled ~for her~ were bad, after I originally said that I didn't think there was enough crying in the AT08 final gig.) Then I gave examples of where she sings fine and cries, but you said they weren't TV versions. Well, here's a fine example of a TV version + crying and good vocals. So the theory that she's only singing off-key because she's crying is obviously false. For someone who hates people stating things as "facts" (hmm which most of the time they actually don't but say their opinion) you kind of give that impression yourself. The off-key singing was to blame to the fact that she was simply not in a good singing mood that entire night, or that the song is too difficult. Only part of it was to blame for the crying, perhaps. Some parts. Not all.

Haha oh ok. I wonder what that means, in connection to the tour and 10th anniversary. They shut the heart, so she's now fully over Tomoya? :innocent

taskinillusion 30th June 2008 11:28 PM

I LOVE that video with the ship! WOW, it looks amazing!!!!

This will definitely be a great concert to watch. I hope they don't take a YEAR in releasing it!

Chibi_Venus 30th June 2008 11:31 PM

These new pictures are so much better than the old ones!

I had no idea that the ship, the stage, and even the screen were all that big-- no, massive!! :D

Thank you very much (AGAIN!) for all of the information!! :thumbsup

panda87 30th June 2008 11:43 PM

about her physique: she's chunkier, but she looks great. i feel at ease b/c she looks like she isn't so frail anymore, like i feel she does have some kcal, some energy to last the concert, teehehe.

on another note, wow, her concert looks GREAT. so exciting!!! man, i wish i could go. i feel like crying. i'm at such disadvantage. and im so happy she sang my favorite song HANABI. i love he outfit and hair during that performances! all else is very amazing as well!!!

LEOyumi 1st July 2008 12:12 AM

I love when Ayu gets chubby like this, in her first performance of JEWEL in TV she had such big arms lol and I love when she's like this. I don't like skinny Ayu.
Thanks a lot for the videos guys! ^_^

panda♥ 1st July 2008 01:03 AM

eh. everyone seems to comment about her weight, whether she's skinnier or has gained some pounds. D: she's still small either way! XD


anyway. the concert looks great, Ayu looks great, the stage looks great --- i can't wait to see it. :)

[taskin.ayu] 1st July 2008 01:14 AM

Everything is amazing, but her voice. D: I hope they edit it. XD

Also in the videos, she does not look fat at all, it's just those bad photos. D:

[taskin.ayu] 1st July 2008 01:39 AM

Why didn't the news channels show more of the Marionette or Mirrorcle World perfs? XD They seemed to like to show the encore more, boringgg. XD

Bad Wolf 1st July 2008 01:41 AM

^ I noticed that, too! A lot of the coverage was basically just the same thing D:

Taru86 1st July 2008 01:46 AM

OMG! This concert looks so freaking amazing!!! I absolutely cannot wait for the DVD to come out! All of the performances look amazing, her voice sounds amazing, and I like the outfits too. And I am absolutely addicted to that part of 'evolution' they show, it sounds so wonderful!!:luv2:luv2

Zeke. 1st July 2008 02:24 AM

Exactly how I remember it! Thanks so much for the links and pictures!!

They all tend to have the same clips. I think they are only allowed to show certain portions of the live, as advised by avex or w/e.

Like last year for AT07, they had pieces of Secret, evolution, kiss o' kill, glitter, and Who...

I think it's to keep things a surprise. They showed a lot more than I thought they would, though.

se7entheaven 1st July 2008 02:49 AM

I still think she sounded quite...unwell...not really bad but not that good either...
and her hair was a mess. The stage is really nice and they're not spoiling us the 'surprises'...so well, we still have high expectations.

But still, she sounded quite...stucked in the previews, but I'm glad she's LIVE ^^

hiroshi_ben 1st July 2008 03:37 AM

i almost cried after watching the videos...shes so strong...and she seems like having a hard time to sing with those high notes..

That is definitely not how she's gonna sound on the DVD, since the news footage is sort of like a very short TV-version of the concert.

freedreamer 1st July 2008 07:07 AM

^YEA...and we all know how bad TV can show the concert to be..

I wonder if ayu will go to LA or other places this summer like she usually does. I would like a new single please~

tenshi no hane 1st July 2008 10:27 AM

She seriously needs to ditch the wig during End roll/Voyage...it's making her forehead look huge >.>
But aside from that she looks great, thanks for sharing.

prussian blue 1st July 2008 11:34 AM

^ooops... sorry, i misheard the post...

i think man have a higher and different angle/view for girl's body, thats all i can say

i'm surprised you didnt mention shuya anymore :laugh...

yeah lets change the discussion topic guys! there'll be no accurate answer for that!

and now, there's more tissue dancing in the tour? is it in end roll or hanabi?

just we're very surprised.. not that we bash her or something...
i'm sure that she will go back to her normal size :)

majrakun 1st July 2008 01:01 PM

PB: :laugh I love all her dancers :D well, there's nothing to talk about with him XD other than "ZOMGZORR he has solos~!" Haha. And besides, I don't think anyone wants to talk about my assumptions fantasies over here. lol.

Subaru's the one I'm really concerned about, what with him collapsing after the concert. Funny, few months back Ayu mentioned in a message that someone brought a "SUBARU" banner too. And it felt like a very HUGE coincidence that he collapsed right after the LAST concert. Heart problems? D:

TITANIC 1st July 2008 01:20 PM

well she doesnt look fat IMO.. thanks for streaming link and picts..wohhoo.. it's wonderful.. i really want 2009 come faster until the DVD realese

AyuGAME 1st July 2008 02:06 PM

yeah..yeah...i give up about ayu weight...lets just wait and see...(first time being under attack in this forum...hahaha XD)

i feel curious about subaru condition too...is he alright?

i don't know why, but i have feeling that we will get 2 dvd that will be release separately
1 dvd - AT08 japan tour + documentary (release this year)
1 dvd - AT08 asia tour + documentary (release next year)

but hopefully it won't happen...cos i will watch her shanghai concert and i want the same exact concert like what she did at japan

WillofDusk 1st July 2008 03:28 PM

OMGGGGG the ship the stageee XD

ASIA TOUR 2007 ended in Jun 2007 and the DVD came 9 months later in 18 March.

ASIA TOUR 2008 will end in 02 Nov in Taipei and if we follow the pattern, the DVD will be released 9 months later in July 2009..

OMG!

thangkhung91 1st July 2008 04:20 PM

Hmm, I actually doubt that there will be a documentary this year :( Remember in the Today's photo? They said that she would shoot her behind the scenes in Yokohama, so I don't know. Maybe, maybe not a documentary.... I'm sad haha But the amazing concert will surely compensate that! :D

AyuHamasaki01 1st July 2008 04:50 PM

I would die if the DVD would releases in June 2009
they can't do that to us.... *sob sob*

Kikaru 1st July 2008 06:22 PM

Maybe Avex will throw us a bone and release the DVD by new years...*wishful thinking...*

Kikaru 1st July 2008 06:44 PM

As long as Ayu continues to make music that I like, I'm okay. ^__^ Although I'm also kinda baffled as how she can gain weight during the tour when she's jumping around and everything...well if anything, there's always liposuction. :P

And I really want to see the performance. Avex better release the DVD at the end of this year, although they'll probably make us wait until next april or something.

AyUmIXx 1st July 2008 07:10 PM

i really want to see more of the back stage scenes on this DVD..
pleaseee just don't make it only 2 DVDs..
at least make it 4 DVDs!! though it will be much more expensive though.

Ayu has loads of money, you know. If there was a real problem here, she would have done something about it. Obviously, it's not her top priority. I'm not saying she shouldn't care about her weight, most celebrities (especially idols) definitely should. But... she's not fat. You know, fat is a synonym for obese. I'm sure Ayu is not at the point where doctors are going to come in and say "OMG AYU YOU'RE MORBIDLY OBESE, GO ON A DIET NOW!!!"

Yeah, so throwing the word 'fat' around here is, I'm sure offensive to a lot of people already, besides being really ignorant because she's not fat. And it's not really an issue of opinion. =/

She's not.

Thank you for being the voice of reason on this topic. :yes


Anyway, I'm expecting to wait a long time for the DVD. :( And when exactly does the Asia leg of the tour begin and end?

apple-pi 1st July 2008 08:23 PM

^I'm sure we can save up the money! But I really do hope they'll put it all together in one package. It would suck if they went...

You can choose!!
Version 1: Main concert + documentary!
Version 2: Main concert + accapelas!
Version 3: Main concert + interviews!
Version 4: Main concert + performances from the Asia concerts!

...on us :grumpy

amorphose 1st July 2008 08:47 PM

If they were to do something like that I would hope they would also release a version with all of the material that was just really expensive. xD I sure wouldn't buy the main concert more than once to get all the other stuff. I'd just attain it illegally by downloading it. xD

truehappiness 1st July 2008 09:34 PM

The wait for the ARENA TOUR/ASIA TOUR DVDs has gotten longer since AT03-04..

AT03-04 ended near the end of April and the DVD came out 5 months later in September. [possibly due to A MUSEUM]

AT05 ended in April as well, with the DVD coming out 4 months later at the end of August.

AT06 ended on 6/11, coming out on November 1st, 5 months later.

AT07 ended 6/10, and the DVD came out about 9 months later on 3/12. :[

Seeing as how the Asian leg of the AT08 might delay the release even further.. they could end up deciding to not include the Asia dates in the DVD. It will only mean a much longer wait time for us to get the video.. however the fact that the tour is called "ASIA TOUR" only increases the fact that they will wait until the final Asian date is finished. [Namie's PLAY tour was renamed as PLAY MORE before heading out to Asia, so that sorta made sense.. D:]

As for the format of the DVDs, I'm hoping they go back to the 3 DVD boxset that they had for AT05 and AT06. All of the Asia documentary stuff was okay once, but I think to repeat it all over again would be a waste [and we'd probably just see Ayu doing the same things.. with few exceptions]~

Ayumiko 1st July 2008 10:13 PM

I also want a 3 dvd set. I like the AT05 and AT06 plastic slip case thing. AT07 is ok but I want more extra stuff besides the documentary....like mcs and the a symbol dance thing...the asian ones were different...which we didn't get to see. If they are to release AT08 like AT07, atleast seperate the concert and the documentary.

truehappiness 1st July 2008 10:23 PM

They've released the documentary separately before..

I don't really get why they did it for AT07. Hopefully this time it'll stay on its own disc. :\

VAL 1st July 2008 10:52 PM

It will be cool if the asia tour aired in TV haha like Countdown .__. so then we can see the concert and wait to finish the asia schedule and wait for the DVD ... hehe

Partino 1st July 2008 11:11 PM

now that's what I call "A" stage ... awesome ... the outfits ... the best since "My Story" ... I so regret that I didn't went to that concert ... I could shoot myself right this instant ..

You could still go to the overseas ones.

Kashoku 1st July 2008 11:33 PM

The Marionette wig looks horrible. Why couldn't she just have used her regular hair? Geez. Dolls usually have long nice hair anyway.

Zeke. 2nd July 2008 12:07 AM

^ Yeah I know what you're saying. However, the wig does look like it was taken straight off of a life-size Marionette doll or something so I guess it fits. It looks like hair from a doll and she's supposed to be one anyway.

apple-pi 2nd July 2008 02:03 AM

Maybe it's just too look more like the PV.
