Yeah! I have just watched the concert in Hong Kong, I am so excited since this is the first time for me to see Ayu concert in LIVE! I really want to share my experience and feeling at the ASIA TOUR!

On 7 April, I arrived the HK Coliseum at around 2:30pm. When I arrived, I saw a very long quene (over 300 people) waiting for buying the tour goods. I was surprised about that. I quickly got into the quene, however, the staff told us there is no guarantee that we can purchase the goods. Luckily, with the help of my friend, I bought a T-shirt and 2 ayupan.

Review of Each Song (Again, keep it Secret if you are going to the show!)
Spoiler:


LABYRINTH - For the prologue, a red moon was shone on the red curtain of the stage. After a while, the red curtain rose up slowly. The dancers were wearing old european style costumes under the blue spot lights, which is elegant and grand. But Ayu didn't appear.

evolution - "La Lalalalala Lalalalala...." Suddenly, Ayu descended to the stage on a swing singing the 1st chorus of evolution in acoustic version. Ayu then further descended to the ground and the music became very loud which switched to the original version. Ayu started singing and dancing. All the audience were very High! Singing "Wow Yeah! Wow Yeah!" with Ayu!

UNITE! - All audience moved the hands following Ayu. Like the usual in the concert. Ayu kept on dancing and singing with a powerful voice!

taskinst - (Video Clip) Showing Ayu and dancers in a very dark and strange environment, which like an industrial area. But I don't know what are they doing. Arguing? Seems male dancers are begging female dancers not to leave. But a male dancer fall from the top of the building and died. Shuya was very nervous and frighten.

1 LOVE - A large cage rose up (like the one in Arena Tour 2002 and Best of COUNTDOWN Live 2006-2007). Ayu was wearing black feathery thing on her head. After the 1st chorus, she removed that and show her blond hair. Suddenly there was a firework, and all metal bars of the cage were disappeared. Then Ayu and female dancers came out from the cage and dance wildly with the chairs. The song ended with Ayu pole dance. (Like she did in the PV of 1 LOVE) Ayu danced perfectly and she is SO HOT!

until that Day... - Ayu and female dancers came up to the center circular stage. They danced with male dancers and did some very sexy moves. Male dancers were wearing leather belt things. They are very HOT! Also, with firework came in the above.

M - First female dancers who dressed like ballerina came out from both sides of the stage. They were holding a white flower rings. Then the big metal cage rose up again, but this time with thoudsand of white rose inside. Ayu was in green dress and she was standing on the cage. After a while, the cage descended, and Ayu walked slowly to the center circular stage (like the walking of M in A Museum). When the song ended, Ayu knelt down.

appears - In complete darkness, suddenly with the piano opening of appears, the male dancers appeared. They weared like the costumes in A museum - appears. Fire was used, I can feel the hot as I am close to the stage.

part of Me - Started with a video clip which is similar to the PV. Ayu in the huge kimono and the scene was like the ending of the PV. Then Ayu stood in the middle of the main stage which is elevated. She was in a shiny huge kimono. Dancers with large white fans. Just like Moments in Arena Tour 2005, with the special visual effect on the large screen. At the end of the song, Shuya was facing Ayu with their hands stretched towards each other. But suddenly Shuya descended into the stage. They finally cannot touch each other.

Secret - The stage descended, Ayu came towards the front of the stage and started singing. Ayu sang very good with a nice voice. At the end of the song, Ayu moved to the centre of the main stage. And several red cloth were released from the ceiling. BEAUTIFUL! Dancers came out and performed hula hoops. The scene was so elegant and beautiful! It's wonderful!

kiss o' kill - Started with sounds like pipe organ. The Ayu appeared on the circular stage and screamed together with the song at the beginning. She was in something like metal which is shiny. Dancers wore black costumesand they were wearing masks. After the 2nd chorus, the dancers helped Ayu to wear the black cloak and a black eye mask. They surrounded Ayu, and Ayu struggling to escape. Then Ayu descended into the stage. BUT THE SONG HAS NOT ENDED. Ayu suddenly appeared on a cross up high in the air, all the audience were shocked. The cross is beautiful designed. Which means the "Ayu" in the black cloak was not Ayu.

Not yet - (Video Clip) The video was very interesting which full of colourful kaleidoscopic images (I remember one with lot of Ayu big eyes on that) And laser lights were used, like those scene of the Opening in the concerts before.

SURREAL - Ayu appeared in a silver shiny dress like the one in Arena Tour 2005 - GAME. Ayu came out to the center circular stage with princess yoko, peco, enrique and yochan! Then the stage rose up with crystal surrounded (like the one in Arena Tour 2005 - CAROLS) And again, all audience sang "La lala Lalala..." at the end of the song with Ayu. Very High!

AUDIENCE - After singing SURREAL, Ayu descened down to the stage. She came out again with feather things put on her back and head, the carnival dress. And all male and famales dancers were in very feathery clothes too. All audience clap their hands follow Ayu. Ayu forgot the lyrics, she stretched her tongue and smile, so cute!

Boys & Girls - At the beginning, 3 huge structures of a HEART were pulled into the middle of the stage. From the audience view, which like a small heart, the a bigger heart, finally a biggest heart on the main stage. And there are light bulbs on the hearts and the curtains. Which make the stage really grand! In the chorus, Ayu out the mic towards the audience and ask them to sing. Although the volume was not as high as in Japan, Ayu was very happy to see the response of the audience! Ayu ended the song with Lala lala Lala, and the red curtain were lowered slowly. After a while, the red curtain rised again, Ayu sang Lala lala lala again and slowly descended into the stage with all dancers. The main concert ended!

ENCORE - In the video clip, the 3D dancing A symbol was very cute. The A symbol draw something with a paint brush. Then the A symbol was holding the board saying "香港你好!" which mean "Hello! Hong Kong! The other one was saying "祝你交好運" which mean "Wish you good luck!" Then the A symbol was turned into Bruce Lee playing Kung Fu with nunchakus. After that the A symbol turned in waitress with Dim Sum on her head! So Cute. I like this video clip very much, since it is perfectly designed to show the characteristic of Hong Kong!

Memorial address - Ayu came out with the tour T-shirt and trouser which like usual. And she started singing, emotional and touching.

SEASONS - After Memorial address, Ayu sang SEASONS with a perfect voice. Audience sang with her by La la la. I think Ayu was very happy about that!

MC - "HELLO HONG KONG! HELLO HONG KONG!!!! HELLO HONG KONG!!!!! I am so happy! I was very nervous before the show you know. oh my god. Do you enjoy the show?Then Ayu say Hello and speak her name in Cantonese "大家好! 我係濱崎 步" But she forgot the pronounciation, she spoke "Punk Kei Po" instead of "Bun Kei Bu". All the audience were so happy to hear Ayu speaking Cantonese. After that, she has a short conversation with yochan in Japanese. Then yocha said "大定準備好未?" which mean "Are you ready?" Audience response Yes! Then the band gave us music, and we sang the chorus of poker face to Ayu. At the moment, the dancers pushed out a large celebration cake to Ayu for celebrating the 9th Anniversary!. Ayu was so touching about the singing, she cries. Then the dancers moved the cake to the center circular stage. All band members, dancers and Ayu surrounded it. And Ayu said "Are you ready? " "3 2 1 Yeah!" took a photo with all the audience.

flower garden - Ayu sang on the centre circular stage which like the performance as usual.

Humming 7/4 - As the usual performance also. But big words of "Everybody GO! Everybody JUMP!" on the big screen. I was so crazy for doing the "Everybody GO! Everybody JUMP!" actions!

Who... - As usual, Ayu thanks the dancers, band members and staff after singing the 1st chorus. And she also introduced herself too as usually she did in concerts. Then Ayu sang the last part of Who... in Chinese like she did in Taiwan! At that time, the colored ribbons came down. After the song, Ayu hold the hands with dancers and say Thank you "ARIGATOU" to the audience. Then the dancers went to the back stage. And Ayu said "I will see you soon!" Then all the light off with only a spot light spoting Ayu, she put her finger on her lips and wait for the audience to be quiet. Then shouted ARIGATOU GOZAIMASHITA! After that she quickly ran to the back stage. The red curtain lowered and the entire show ended.


I was so happy to see the concert in LIVE! I always wonder I can go to Japan for seeing Ayu's concert. My dream come true. Ayu come to Hong Kong to hold her ASIA TOUR. I cannot believe it! Although there is only one show in Hong Kong, I was very excited and happy. It is really a unforgettable moment in my life! And Ayu said "I will see you soon!", I really hope she will have another ASIA TOUR in the future. Hopefully in 2008 for celebrating her 10th Anniversary, and I hope there will be 2 shows in Hong Kong!


P.S More update will be coming soon!

freedreamer 7th April 2007 05:42 PM

fireworks?!?!

Ayu 7th April 2007 07:07 PM

Really great, hontouni sugokatta!!! Juz came back from the show,my seat was pretty close! Closer than I expected...god I saw Ayu sama in person finally after 7 yrs conjuring this encounter in my head...my HKD1600 is well spent...

The show was supposed to start at 815pm but as expected things kicked off close to 840...the familiar "Ayu Ah Ah, Ayu Ah Ah" chant got things rolling, and she appeared from the top...the first song is evolution, followed by UNITE! if I'm not wrong. The audience were real high, damn I WAS real high...the guy next to me even dropped his tour good light stick, poor fella. Most songs were rockish, I was hoping for more ballads but well it was still good.

Everyone was handed a pamphlet on the way in telling us to sing Poker Face to Ayu when Yochan gave the cue...to celebrate her 9th yr in showbiz which is supposed to be tomorrow. That brought some tears to her eyes haha.

Worst thing...didnt manage to get any tour goods...all sold out, at least thats what the management said...luckily I have a friend going to the shanghal show.

Great show, great great show...and some dude shouted I love u in canto when she silenced everyone at the end LOL

hanabi2 7th April 2007 07:21 PM

I especially love the green lasers part in 'Not yet', also the small fireworks effects were shocking...but some guys really cannot control themselves when ayu silenced everyone....anyway...because people are really excited!!

I read on a forum that the ribbons had Ayu's signature printed on it and it had the word 'Asia' on it. Is that true?

I also read that there weren't that many tour goods on sales in the first place. Like each item had 300... People started lining up at 12/1pm didn't buy that many tour goods apparently.

Ayumiko 7th April 2007 09:32 PM

There were pics of the ribbons someone took and it did have ayu asia 07 on it or something. Are they running low on the tour goods? or are they just reserving them for the remaining tour. I ordered some tour goods from mu-mo through celga and its been almost a month and mu-mo havent shipped it out yet.

ayu_ayu301 7th April 2007 09:44 PM

Ayumiko 8th April 2007 12:10 AM

I think it was cancelled since they sang poker face for her anniversary during the mc. There was a flyer handed out to the audience beforehand.
