- the show was like an updated [version up!] version of CDL11-12
- the show was about half Ayu and half dancers
- Ayu may have had a costume change every few songs
- there was not one single large screen, but rather they were a bunch of screens connected together like AT10/7days Special
- Ayu messed up Boys&Girls at the first show
- she wears a wig for most of the concert (lots of different wigs)
- Shake It♥ is performed in a maid outfit
- Ayu's dress during Return Road changes colors via LED lights
- her encore outfit is pink shorts with pink shoes and the pink concert T-shirt with pink wristbands

REMEMBER. This is UNCONFIRMED.

The stage appears to be the same as CDL's.

The secret collectible in the cookies is a phone strap that's... a cookie! [not a real one, obviously.]

There are a ton of laser lights in this tour. During NaNaNa and Party Queen.

[ayumisrael]

[zellyx]

they're not big, they're just the basic screens. And there's not a lot like AT06 and AT10, which was kinda disappointing given the length and depth of the special screens.

It's more dramatic when you see it live, the whole arena black out with only a single spotlight on her when she sings this part. Then she lowered her head and the song changed back to the normal beat
