Maybe it will sound better when the actual broadcast shows up online.
I don't really like the ourselves theme. It just looks like a long dinner table on the stage.

The performance has the last supper for a theme. It was super exciting.

Alltough there is one person missing for a complete last supper, does she only have 11 dancers? (I lost overview on her dancers to be true xD)

I know it is the biblical last supper theme but I just don't get how it connects to Ayu or her songs and tour. Just seems like she put a table on stage with dancers.

Pretty much like the cdl opening with kanariya, the performance is alluding to the end, probably of her career, with Ayu reuniting with her performers and her audience for a "last supper".

It's her last reunion before her death. Or that's how I understood it.

but in fact she sounded great at the venue. maybe iy's with the audio system and all. tv broadcast can be quite "dry" and without bass.

[Chris85]

She said at the beginning of Love song "every day, no matter what happens, never give up on love, dreams and hope. I want to finish with this message, singing this song".

[YUKARI]

there was really strange happening by the way. she was announcing her band and when she announced keyboard (or someone) the music was shut down absolutely and the hall had 1 or 2 seconds of total silence! this was soooo strange.

Whoop that sounds a bit shocking/scary for me

I watched Labelo posted the sweet moment of Ayu and Yo chan during Surreal, that was so so sweet and touching

[adrtwb]

her voice was not too bad but first day was better!

i honestly find her vocals pretty good, it sounded awesome at the venue and i'm sure when it got broadcasted it will turn meh...

i got goosebumps when she started singing "ai no nai~"

THE SHOW WAS AWESOME!!

[Chris85]

It's unfortunate that it became sort of tradition that she looses her voice on the day of broadcast.

[YUKARI]

^ yeah, she should think about doing a broadcast on the first day of finals.

[melissalove]

Her vocals don't sound perfect but I've heard worse, she looks beautiful. But the tour is more of the same, nothing new or exciting. Why were her dancers on stage during who?? That ruined it for me.

[Evan Odinson]

Couldn't watch it hope someone recorded it

[Refix]

About that moment of silence, must be to pray for that keyboardist, Dai Nagano, who fight with cancer.

The dancers during Who... the are always there. in.almost.every.concert. I think only during Stadium Tour 2000, there were no dancers.

You mean Shingo Kobayashi?

I just watched them bowing and thanking everyone while ayu sings. That took away from the song some how. Whatever happened to the moment when ayu presents the dancers, couldn't they do it there.

Oh yes, I forgot. Thanks. Hopefully he still fighting it or better.

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

Just gonna put it out there that inside the Arena in the first 2 days, the vocals were damn near impeccable. Maybe a bit shaky on Warning and Virgin Road but other than that no problems. Walk was particularly impressive as I can imagine that it is quite difficult for her to hit those high notes in it. Really shouldn't have been taken out, definitely my highlight of the entire concert.
Also, the cart thing going around the arena was amaaaazing. As it was my first Ayu concert, being so close to her was like a fucking dream come true. Never screamed so much in my life hahaha

[Deep snow]

Thank you for everyone who shared the tweets containing the clips! It's unfortunate that her voice wasn't the best on this day of broadcast, but from the previews I'd say that her vocals sound better than last CDL's! I hope some good soul recorded the stream so we could experience the performance a bit better.
