It's her special "thank you" message full of gratitude from her heart for each and every one of the people from all the nation who she had the chance to have a beautiful encounter with in 2013 (referring to people who went to her lives cause then the footage strats playing)

I'm loving this CDL. Love song is easily one of her best and most deep performances as of lately. I love it. I cried with her lol

Me too

[mi|kshake]

Yeah, I also prefer Free & Easy without any dancing. She's looking gorgeous in those performances! Real Me was great too!

Hey...what was that remix of Beautiful Fighters that DJ Hello Kitty played? I didn't recognize it.

Any link on YinYueTai, Youtube, or Youku to watch the full concert ?

Its the MSTRKRFT remix from ayu-mi-x 6, which I love more than the original song.

That new way of editing that they're using is way too heavy, it's like "please welcome new android Ayu!" It's just painful to listen to her overprocessed vocals.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

It's annoying because Ayu doesn't need all that editing at all. Sure she doesn't sound flawless live but I actually love listening to her imperfections. Avex try to make the vocals too perfect.

[primavera♥]

I kind of just wish I could actually see her live and form my opinion on her vocals in person

[tenshi no hane]

Just finished watching it. It's a really fun CDL and her voice was good for the most part. CAROLS was gorgeous And Merry-Go-Round was really fun with m-flo showing up! And I loved the Hello Kitty DJ part. Oh, and the swing aerial dance was impressive!

Love Song was beautiful too. The videoclip showing her older performances + the 'thank you' message + her tearing up made it seem like it's her last CDL, though. (But I haven't seen the two CDL's before this one so maybe it's a regular thing.)

My only complaints would be the overkill of dancers (old news, I know) and Timmy's outfit being out of place during the aerial dance thingy song.

[Loulines]

I think I'm the only one who really don't care about her vocals being edited... Edited or not, she's singing live during the whole concert and even if she's using playback sometimes it's pre-recorded and not often... I'd rather watch powerful and happy Ayu with overly edited voice than robotic with '98 playback Britney Spears who makes me feel ashamed to be a fan and who can't even sing ballads live...
And besides, avex doesn't care about fans who want to buy a dvd with real vocals... especially when Ayu doesn't sound that good. You want unedited vocals? Go to a concert... Sad but true and complaining will do nothing.

This CDL is the best concert she had since Rock 'n' Roll Circus Tour. CAROLS performance took my breath away, Boys & Girls and You & Me was just one big LOL and Ayu finally got rid of that ugly contacts and doesn't look like an alien anymore.
The only thing I'm mad for is removing MC... :c

I get your point, but the real problem's not that they edit her vocals, the problem's how they've been doing it lately.

someone shared the full concert on googledrive here too

Strongly agree with you ...
Ayu has changed and we should support her by the another way ...
Editing or not is not the problems... because we can still have the performances to enjoy ...
After watching the whole show, I love this CDL so much, It's one of my most enjoyable concert I have ever seen... Love ayu, love Licco, love everyone's affort...
As same as Loulines, quite mad for removing the MC part, the encore T-shirt is not good (the choruses' ones are better ),
The CDL got 9.5/10 as my opinion...

[Earth_maiden]

as always... waiting on the OS press.

Thanks! Somehow my ayu-mi-x 6 is missing that song in iTunes!!! No wonder I didn't remember it!

Edit: Wow, I was missing CAROLS too. Really weird.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^I can't figure out which remix of fairyland that DJ Hello Kitty was playing. Pretty sure that it hasn't been released? Which sucks because I love it. They played it at A BEST LIVE also.

[DevilHunter_04]

I really loved this concert. I haven't liked a CDL this much since her 2010-2011~do it again~CDL.

Reading comments and then seeing the performance of Feel the Love disappointed me hearing how much it was edited but it really picked up for me when WE WISH started.

I really liked the new stage and the new arrangement for Bold & Delicious (I would like to see that version performed again).

Though it seemed like the concert jumped around and was cut weird. Especially after Curtain Call. Did they cut out the MC there? It just felt like something was missing.
