OK so I am finally in front of the PC in the hotel and there are a few additional things worth mentioning from the 1st Hiroshima date:

- Unlike in Yokohama last year there weren't that many people cosplaying this time which is most likely normal.
- There was a separate line for people without tickets as they could purchase them on spot.
- The arena had under 50 seats empty, perhaps even less. I could only see a couple of empty seats from where I was.
- Her vocals were superb.
- poker face/Fly high/HONEY featured a very high pitched back track and at some point I was sure she wasn't singing certain parts of those songs. The rest was totally live and awesome!
- the performances weren't that interesting, leaving aside the ASFXX opening and HEAVEN/JEWEL as other than the thing she was standing on during You & Me and the disco ball there weren't any cool props.
- Someone messed up something during the start of No way to say. SHU-YA was pulled back, Ayu pointed at Yo-chan and he started playing a long guitar solo while Ayu was just walking around, smiling and waving to people on the center stage. She was really professional.
- The pool songs (HEAVEN/JEWEL) were breathtaking. Loved those and I could really see well from where I was.
- People around me were totally clueless during Tell All as it seemed they did not know the song, the same was with Wake me up.
- I was kinda disappointed Sunrise was taken off the set-list more than I was after realizing SAKURA was gone.
- They start Voyage with the back vocals singing "I'm on a journey looking for love". The arrangement was somewhat different. In the end of the song Ayu sings the English part herself. Really loved Voyage, she sang it really well and I forgot it was on the setlist so was kinda surprised.
- The encore started with July 1st.
- After Who, she tried doing the "arigatou gozaimashita" without mic, but people kept screaming Ayu and omedetou ^_^ she picked the mic like 3 times and was all like nandeee!
- In the end some girls started singing "ayu no koto, ayu no koto omouyou..." and soon the whole arena joined in singing part of me! She seemed touched and confused!
- After the encore some people started leaving, but the majority of us remained in our seats, clapped our uchiwas and screamed Ayu! After a few minutes she was back on stage and MY ALL started. She let us sing the last chorus!
- In the end of Wake me up they use the same thing as they did for Ladies night [(miss)understood tour]. It's just that there is just one instead of 3 and Ayu gets caught up in it in the end instead of one of the dancers.

The best 2 points of the show for me were the setlist and her vocals. There wasn't really a theme set this time, so the performances weren't that amazing, but that's oke!
