I heard that they do call each other that, but not to offend each other.

no...they weren't my friends~just some pp who went to her concert and noticed namie was there~a few pp noticed her too~

[yatsuda]

Namie Amuro was there?!?! All I saw was Ayu's friend. He was cosplaying Ladies Night Ayu!!!

She wore a very glittery KIMONO while singing Part of Me

Ayu was in a metal cage (the little video before the performance started was a little disturbing thank you... the female dances and Ayu killing the male dancers--or is that what it was?? I need to see it again, LOL).

In the MC, Ayu said that she drove to Saitama by herself. The crowd was "eeeeeh?". She even has a gold driver's license (meaning she's a good driver. But that's because she doesn't drive often, she said). When she got to the arena, she hit her car against the gates!!! She saw someone she knew, rolled down the window and next thing she knew, she'd hit her car!!! She said she was really looking forward to going to Asia, even if it meant a lot of work bringing the set and costumes. And she of course is looking forward to what she'll eat there.

Other comments: the show started with the dancers wearing a very Marie-Antoinette-esque attire (reminded me of the My Story tour opening). Ayu wore a glittery black corset-like costume, with a cute small top hat.

She wore a corset-like costume with fur trim around her shoulders for 1LOVE.

For M, the female dancers came in dressed as ballerinas. Ayu wore a green dress, very simple (!!!! I thought she looked like Peter Pan, sorry!). In appears, she danced with Shuya (oh, she danced with Shuya ALL THE TIME).

The kimono was stunning, but I wasn't fond of the wig...

The silvery costume she wore for... I don't remember which performance!!! reminded me of a Panasonic Add campaign (around the Free & Easy era). Not her best costume.

Her samba-rio carnival white costume was awesome, just before the encore!

All in all, I found the first part of her concert incredibly full of energy (well with that tracklist...). Then it got really dark (1LOVE with the cages, dancers wearing masks and capes)...

Ayu was full of energy!! It was funny to see her jumping and skipping allover the place!!! Her voice was really good, but she had a hard time singing SEASONS (had to drink water!).

Okay... time for me to go to bed, almost 1 am!! Can't wait to see what Oro will write (he was at the concer too, although we didn't get to meet. The line to the concert goods was HUGE!!! I waited over an hour!). Anyway... goodnight.

XD! Thanks for sharing that.

So it's true... =o

[Larisa-chan]

o.o amazing setlist... I wish I could have been there.

[truehappiness]

People complaining about the lack of songs from "other albums" seem to forget that the "Tour of Secret" focuses on mainly songs from Secret.. :|



And the lack of It was and momentum is not surprising. They got the HOPE or PAIN / Liar / criminal / Will treatment. D: And JEWEL got HEAVEN's "spot" in encore D:~

[LEOyumi]

Wow! Thanks for the tracklist, I love it! <3
I wanna see the costumes and the stage.. They must be beautiful as always ^^ and too bad there isn't CAROLS =/ but there's SURREAL =D

[s1012h]

YESSSSSS
THIS IS AMAZING
i'm definitely buying the dvd when it comes out XD

[truehappiness]

So.
The setlist is roughly divided into half old and half new. 9 "songs" [if you count interludes] are from Secret, and the rest are various concert fan-favorites. I suspect they don't want to "bore" those during the Asian stops with too many "experimental songs" or ballads.

Although I wonder why time and time again, Ayu has to exclude songs from an album from a tour... it didn't happen with AT03-04 because Memorial address was a mini-album, but couldn't they have made some sort of adjustment? :< It's a bit of a surprise with evolution kicking off the concert, since usually she has some new song do it.. [AT03-04 had ourselves, AT05 had HAPPY ENDING, CDL05-06 had STEP you, AT06 had Born to Be..] but it's better to start off with a song that will get people's blood pumped..

[Ani_C]

> EEHEHEHHE! I already like the looks of it >w< Can't wait till the DVD comes out so I can drool all over it > Thank you

[ayuflareup!]

i wonder why evolution, surreal, UNITE!, audience are present in almost all the CDL and TOURS? fans will get bored with them right? I prefer some old songs like ENdless sorrow, TO BE, Powder snow, rainbow~~ and so on~

[truehappiness]

"Overplayed originals" as you call them, are not so much for us, but for people in the audience.

If you notice, through most of the songs that we're like "OMG YES!" at, the audience is kind of just clapping or waving their fans..
But when AUDIENCE or evolution comes up, everyone's all screaming and wild D:

[Draggi]

In my opinion she misses "Derest, CAROLS, No Way To Say, momentum, it was, and so on"...
and for me songs like "M" and "appears" don't fit to this ^^

[cloud♥honey]

Namie on the concert? O.O

[truehappiness]

Namie was watching. She wasn't in it.

I think Ayu should do a two-part concert again..
So she can evenly distribute songs between the two and people don't get all complainy. lol

[cloud♥honey]

Ayu don't hates Namie? or Namie don't hates Ayu?

[truehappiness]

I don't think anyone hates anyone. :|

Unless you're Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori.

Another of Japan’s biggest idol stars, Akina Nakamori, attempted suicide after Seiko had allegedly had an affair with her boyfriend pop singer Masahiko Kondo. Controversy was frequently about Seiko. She also scandalized the music business by quitting her management company and starting her own, and then again we she decided to make her American debut.
