I just came back from the concert! But I'll start with a quick overview of the whole day. So we went to Tokyo station at 12h, but didn't see anybody, we went first to yokohama arena to be very early to buy our merchandise, we arrived there at 13h. There we met with Blasterion and his sister. eddi was somewhere else in Yokohama. We were one of the first who got to buy merchandise when the shop opened at 14h30. After we got loaded with stuff, us four (me,maneayu,blast&sis) to minato mirai. Went up to the 69th floor with a very nice view. We decided to skip yokohama china town and the ramen museum to get into the arena at opening time at 17h30.
By now it was swarming with people. When we got inside the arena, we found to our big surprise, that the center B-blocks are actually next to the round thing of the catwalk-thing. So there is NO B2 block either. We were in the 7th & 8th seat from the middle, last row. So we had a very good view of the round-stage, we were like 10-15 meters away from it. By 18h35 the last call was made, and by 18h40 the concert started!

I'll say it up front, these are the changes made to the songs: JEWEL (not Secret) got replaced by momentum (!!!), and flower garden with Independent (using the original japanese song list) I think she also sang Secret, but I'm no sure about that, I'll check that tomorrow, it sounds so much alike another song...

So for my report of the concert (it's of course pretty similar to the other reports):
Concert started with a wonderful version of LABYRINTH followed by a long orchestral-like part of evolution. Ayu was sitting on a swing that came from the ceiling. After Evolution, UNITE! kicked in. Then we got a nice intermezzo with taskinst, which had live guitar from yocchan. Almost all songs had at least some live instrumentation, including the intermezzos. Then we got 1 LOVE and until that Day.
It was so lovely to hear M starting, as it's an old favorite. appears was also quite nice. Then came the part where Ayu wore the pink kimono during part of Me and momentum. Ayu was really stretching her voice at this time, so she almost broke her voice, which could be heard during some of the next songs. After this we got an awesome church organ by Yamazaki, which was the intro for kiss 'o kill, of course. After this we got an awesome laser show during Not yet. It's really much better than the one they did at the last CDL during the same song. We then got some very nice songs like SURREAL, AUDIENCE and Boys & Girls. We got a nice long ending to SURREAL like in AT03-04. This was the end of the first part. After about 5-10 minutes the ayu sign started turning and "Ayu Ready" kicked in. Good "unplugged" versions of JEWEL and SEASONS.
Then, like it was telepathy she made us all clap the Independent rhythm, and some nice jumping on Humming 7/4. We ended with a wonderful Who... and Ayu yelling "Arigatou Gozaimasu" marked the end of a wonderful concert.
I have to mention that the new video clips between some of the songs are very very nice and good, again to the standards from the MY STORY tour. She used some flames this time during of the first songs.
Also Yocchan, was absolutely perfect during every single song; his solos were just awesome. Yocchan just rocks BIGtime.

I have put some pictures on my blog, see url in my sig. I'll take some more pictures tomorrow. Then I'm also going to try to take pics during the concert, as we are more on the side.
