I just came back from the concert!
Overall I really enjoyed myself!

Just gonna throw some random notes out here:

Setlist is the same as what has been posted. If I remember correctly its FTL / MGR

Ayu sounded great - she was shouting during some parts but pretty on key for most parts. I would say there is also A LOT LESS wailing around and less exaggerated crying. I am thinking this probably came with the change in choreographer...?

Ayu also looked great. I am pretty sure she lost quite a bit of weight. The chubbiness around her face / jawline seems to be have subsided and she looked really happy. I would say the picture that she posted on instagram with the gucci jacket is not OVERLY edited. She actually looked pretty young in that set-up!

The opening song was W, she came out in a car (prop) and sang most parts in the car and halfway through she and the female dancers started "car-washing". towards the end of the song she poured what looked like water on herself (so she was pretty wet already at the first song!)

Other memorable things.. YOU was great, she got pretty emotional there.
It was cool to see the demographics of the fan base - there were some pretty young fans but at the same time you see ladies / men in their 30s/ 40s with their kids. They probably listened to her while they were growing up!

Costumes wise, nothing to shout about. 1 big white dress for TWIA, and the gown part was taken off for the next song.

Overall, loved the entire show!

Edit:
- Princess was not there, and the other female vocal singer must have been on stage only half the time! Timmy was on stage about 70% of the time
- The combination of dancers now is just nice - i noticed fewer dancers (I guess without the acrobats team) and also they were less in the way. also, only aeternal (final chorus) had a male dancer (the new one) flailing around~~ All other slower songs were just Ayu alone!
