I wonder if it'll be carried over to this year's tour? (concept wise)

Overall I'd say she did really well last night. I was worried when I watched Kouhaku and the first note out of her mouth was off (sorry, but it was haha) but CDL was very well done.

My highlights were Wake me up, Together When..., and snowy kiss.

Although I have to say, I've grown tired of her "i love you, but I hate you, but I'm running away, and now you're running away, I'm reaching out for you, you're reaching out for me, let's hug" concept.

But yeah, I had fun. Wish I could've heard Ivy though!
haha I thought the same thing when I saw the screen caps, her and Shuya crying, flailing and then Shuya hugged her back, weh had those like in every concert, plus the song is Missing,so I would prefer Ayu alone singing it beautifully with all her emotions

so, I went to all 3 concerts. all of us went: me, macmaayu, OyTony and her husband also we met Earth_Maiden, Suteisi, Chris and SURREAL_RAINBOW at the venue yesterday, I bought the ticket for the C4 three hours before the show. and it was veeeery good seat!! SURREAL_RAINBOW was siting 2 rows behind me.

I can say that the feelings from all 3 concerts differ very much. The first day I was sitting in 2nd floor of stand and I saw the show fully. Also, it was the best seat to watch Together when... performance. Then, the 2nd day me and macmaayu were seating in B4, it's the opposite to A and C. I thought like she mainly performed for A and C rather than to other sides, but then the 3rd day I had C4, I understood that B4 was good too. I was crying a lot in the second day the thing was that she always started and ended the song looking towards to A and C. As there were crane and royal, the first row of E, F, G are also veeery good! She clapped every fan in royal (during Trauma), waaah so envy

btw I just saw Kouhaku performance... I don't know why it's a bit weak -.- even people in jpopsuki commented like "oh, she's going down"... because the concerts were soo great, one just can't say "she's going down". Also, here's in AHS there's a poll about the hiatus. I was thinking about that, but after the concerts I've understood that she won't have hiatus for sure, not this year at least. music is her life and I'm sure she'll continue doing concerts. I understood that she's now a concert artist, not a tv artist.

Also, as I went to all concerts, I got the feeling that the first two days she was more spontaneous, funny, live. But the third day as there were a lot of cameras, the concert was shooting for DVD, it made me feel that it's a liiiitle bit staged, like we all are starring for the movie. sorry, if nobody else got this feeling, may be it's just me. btw she cried all 3 days!!

aww, anyways, I'm sure that every fan should attend ayu's concert at least once! it opened my eyes to a lot of songs that I didn't like before and seeing her is such an incredible experience... aww.

so now, I like Together when, until that Day..., Humming 7/4 waaaay more than I used to. I'm sure she'll bring Together when concept to arena tour!!! I hope so, because it was soo amazing
I agreed with you, for me shes always the best performer on stage, maybe not as the singer sometimes but as the performer she really had the special stage appearance and great aura on stage!

glad to hear this from someone who went to concert made me cantw ait to watch it now!!


anyway yeah Together When sounded just flawless!!! I had goosebumps listening to this! and I really like this concert sound system the instruments and the base sounded great to my ears.
