ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~ setlist and pictures [V]

[yuki_unmei]

i'm really looking forward to identity, rollin', Sparkle, NEXT LEVEL and Curtain call

@ identity - That pic could be from one of the new shows, but the outfit is the same as from the first leg, heh. Same crazy wig and all...

In all honesty, I know some people dislike the wig and some of the outfits, but you forget about it when watching the performances, esp. in the ballads section. Like with the pic identity posted, in rollin', you're actually dancing half the time (or trying to learn the dance they're doing), and then in Sparkle, you're getting told by Ayu to keep singing "NO NO NO" hahaha.

I just can't wait to watch the concert again (or at least see clips). Goodness knows I want to go back to the final shows, but I'm thankful I already went to the last two Tokyo shows in June =)

Yep ayu looks fierce in rollin', Sparkle outfit, like a club glitzer.
That wig grew on me, as long as it's only in those kind of songs.

I'm looking forward to see GREEN

it's my favorite NEXT LEVEL song and she did a great job @ PCDL. so i wonder how she pulled it off this time. especially with the big dress.. i just can't see how she would make that one work lol..
so yeah i wanna see GREEN the most

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I want the DVD NOW! xD


thanks for the new thread!!! ^^

[freedreamer]

I like how Sunrise and SUnset has replaced the songs in the tracklist hahaha

[amorphose]

Wait... is she still touring? I thought it was over in June or July. XDD

Don't her tours usually end then?

Yeah. But for some reason, the tour had four dates after a-nation '09...

Perhaps she wanted the final performance for DVD to have a thinner Ayu like last year?

[SunshineSlayer]

^ Yeah, it's kind of weird why she would randomly add 4 dates in October.

Well, she did do all of a-nation this year (that lasted all of August), so she would use July to prep for a-nation and Sunrise / Sunset (as well as perform additional AT09 shows), and then September to travel, take a bit of a break, and then prep for the final four shows of AT09.

lol I still wonder why she put GREEN where she put it. It probably has something to do with the lyrics, but I never thought of it to fit into the ballads portion of a concert. Haha.

I want to see the whole tour! I hope it comes out on DVD either by Christmas or my birthday because I can't afford any jpop stuff right now ;-; I blew all my money on her anniversary and now I'm starting to feel it...

[ville]

so when the DVD is going to be released ?
or is it announced yet ? :pp

[love in music]

yeah, i think her vocals live for GREEN > her vocals in the song, so i'm excited for that too. i hope there are no songs she "butchers" at AT09 though.. like Dearest @ AT08.

[dreamland2.0]

^Other than a few "crowd pumping" songs, she mainly sings current songs, so perhaps her vocals will be stronger. Usually it's her older songs she can't sing very well because of the high notes.

I really can't wait to see SIGNAL though! I love that song!

[futureLOVE]

off topic but where did those pics in the top of your sig come from teddbear?

[truehappiness]

Those photos are from a diary entry she posted a week or two ago from photos in Las Vegas.

i hope there are no songs she "butchers" at AT09 though.. like Dearest @ AT08.

I dunno, she didn't really butcher that.. Though songs like Ladies Night should never be performed EVER. (It's just not made to be live)

I think if they didn't do that weird thing with her voice like on the CD, Ladies Night (or any other song with the same thing) would sound better life. If she just sang them all straight out.

actually i'd take a thousand more Ladies night performances than another performance like that one. rly hated it. like someone said, it sounded like she was singing into a fan. i'm not too worried about her voice at AT09 though, i think she is starting to take better control of her vibrato.

[Celaphorce]

Her promotional shirts are cute, but the overalls ruined the outfit...bleh!
