A MUSEUM QUESTION!

Diana · #1 12th August 2007, 11:43 PM

OK, just shoot me if someone asked that before, but I`m too tired to search. 12:42 a.m. x_x
So... I`m asking: A Museum is 30 single collection,right? Well, I`m too lazy to watch the whole thing again so I went on wikipedia and there are 24 songs! And... Why is it 30 single collection if she didn`t sing all of them!? ... not fair

Counting on you guys to tell me... It has to be a good reason (or not).

1. A Song for XX
2. Greatful days
3. evolution
4. poker face
5. Trust
6. Depend on you
7. YOU
8. Dearest
9. M
10. appears
11. vogue
12. NEVER EVER
13. SURREAL
14. Fly high
15. UNITE!
16. AUDIENCE
17. forgiveness

encore

18. SEASONS
19. No way to say
20. independent
21. Boys & Girls
22. Trauma
23. flower garden
24. Who...

I think it's a concert to celebrate the release of her 30th single, forgiveness.

Yeah, that's true. It (unfortunately

) doesn't mean that Ayumi performed tracks from all 30 singles.

I asked this question once... and some1 said to me: "...becuase 30 songs is a lot" in less or more words lol.

Kinda like how the (miss)understood tour didn't have all the (miss)understood songs?

D: Meh.

She doesn`t sing all the time 30 songs, right? Namie sings more songs on a concert than she does.. If she could talk a little less...

She could have shortened it like she did with TO BE (if I remember correctly).

And that`s what`s bugging me also!! If I were in her place, I would sing all songs from my new album. I think people want to hear that stuff instead of old songs we hear on every concert. Or am I the only one who thinks that?

I would've rather heard Will than... oh, say... evolution.

YEAH! Instead of evolution and AUDIENCE I would rather hear Will and Criminal (It's a beautiful song IMO)

I mean, some songs she performs like, every year: SURREAL, Boys&Girls, evolution...

And we`ll hear them again on CDL anyway..

There's the issue of time and money. Ayu has a really all-or-nothing mindset, it appears: either she puts on a grand show or none at all. If she were to perform ALL the songs, each with a different feel to it, she'd more or less need to have lots more costumes/sets, and it would quickly add up to lots more money, I'd think. And she also wants to be sure to perform older songs that we all know and love, and figure in THOSE songs with ALL the new ones from her new album, and you'd have like a 3 hour concert XD

And then she'd have to do that 3-hour-concert over & over & over for all the cities she visits....I'd rather Ayu do a reasonable amount of songs and have it be just really spectacular and not rushed. Plus, when Ayu gets tired her voice gets wonky.

But I do see where you're coming from. For AT06 I know I definitely would've preferred Will over...UNITE or something.

shippo · #12 13th August 2007, 01:23 PM

Oh... come on... even A song 4 xx is not a single...

criminal · #13 13th August 2007, 01:30 PM

EWWEWWEWWWW. I just got a mental image of Ayumi performing In The Corner.
Anyway, what's up with the Boys & Girls, SURREAL and evolution hate? They're all amazing songs and if they're amazing, why would the person who wrote the songs not want to perform them?

I didn`t say that Ayu should never ever perform those songs again! And I never said I hated them!! I love those songs.. If you want it that way... I HATE UNITE!
I mean.. we`ll hear them twice a year (at least) and I think it`s better for her to sing those which she didn`t. Just calculate how many times she sung Boys & Girls since the song is old... OK.. now calculate how times she sung HOPE or PAIN.

shippo - dammit you`re right!! She cheated! x3

Totally true! (though I don't hate UNITE! only the fact she sings it every time)...

She never performed HOPE or PAIN, right?
I really love HOPE or PAIN and I wished she performed it at Arena Tour 2005 *sigh*

criminal · #16 13th August 2007, 03:05 PM

Oh, okay, I see where you two are getting at and I respect your opinions.

JinHamasaki · #17 13th August 2007, 03:34 PM

Well I've been to her concerts before, and there is a reason why she sings old songs like UNITE!, evolution, and AUDIENCE...

They REALLY make the crowd go WILD!

I know they do ^^ But I bet most of us want new songs also :/ I don`t say she stops singing them all... I dunno. Put 2 new songs instead of old ones? Dunno

Uemarasan · #19 13th August 2007, 06:28 PM

Well, I think the reason she sings these songs all the time is because she knows that not all of her fans can make it to every single one of her concerts, and so she sings for her fans who can only make the pilgrimage once in a while, or even once in their lifetime. Fans like me

So I was ecstatic when I heard her open Arena Tour 2007 (my first Ayu concert) with Evolution, and then go on to sing M, Surreal, Unite, Boys & Girls, Who..., some of her best stuff. Hearing M live nearly brought me to tears.

I've discovered that her concerts are really meant for those who can actually attend. It has to be experienced. So much is lost watching it on DVDs

Hm.. True. I couldn`t attend any her concert :/ And downloading (buying) the DVD I thought: it`s better than live! I see the best scenes and there arent bunch of people..
BUT .. Live is better

It brings out the feelings and all that.. like when you felt during M performance

... I wanna cry on Ayus concert!! If I would, that would be on Who...
