Also, I think there was a bit of a dress malfunction during "Return Road". Last night, at the end of the song, Ayu and Shu-Ya switched places - Ayu back to the main stage to look at the dancers, and Shu-Ya would uncover his face and stare at Ayu. Tonight, Ayu was holding the back of her dress, but after the song was over, she was sent down at the center stage. (I also remember the colors the top of the dress would switch to - light blue, dark blue, dark purple, pink, dark blue again, black, white, red... I think that was it, in order as well.)
Not a mess up, its because they changed the performance completely!Not sure if mentioned but the Return Road dress was updated for the second date. The corset AND a newly updated bottom lighted up and changed colors. The bottom was big and round and the laces throughout it lit up. When she walked down the runway, the bottom was taken off (The lights go out on her for a few seconds and stagehands remove it) and the corset continued to light up. It changed from blues to oranges and pinks.
And yes I noticed the tears too! They were definitely real. I prefered seeing the show on the first date directly in front of the stage, but my closer seat yesterday (directly across from the catwalk) was interesting to see too!
