This is a great tracklist. Finally all songs from a new album in the tour! Isn't this what most ppl are hoping for? In the past i had been seeing ppl complaining abt the 'same old tracklist' again and again. She finally include all songs from the latest album, and some of the songs in there weren't really sang that much before. But somehow i'm still seeing complaints XD

Nevertheless, I'm pretty pumped up to see how the performances and costumes will be like. I don't really mind the PCDL songs being recycled. Just 'cos they appeared there before doesn't mean she can't sing them again What's more, it may not be performed the same way too.

Thanks for all the info and pic

[Blasterion]

oh I´m really surprised, she did the whole album!
now this a tour really want go to and it has got the best merch ever!!! ^^

now I´m really bummed out I didn´t have the cash to go >_<

[noidea]

Horrible setlist...I hope costumes, props and show in general is super amazing, I wanted her to finally sing at least one of the left-out songs the last years!(It Was...,criminal and GUILTY belong to my favourite songs and they were left out on their tours), but its really nice how she used the complete album for it and that its quite long(im usually disappointet about how short her tours are)

[CeReSu]

Pffff horrible trackliste -____-
Many songs are recycled from PCDL what a pity!!!!!!
Fortunatelly, all of songs from NEXT LEVEL are here. Hope these performances will be good.

[PinkShinigami]

^ What's the bad about that? The PCDL songs are really rare, should she perform songs she has performed a thousand times instead? NL fills out over the half of the list ^^

[dreamland2.0]

Yay! Awesome set list! I'm so glad she performed all the songs from Nexl Level! I can't wait to see the costumes!!

[Meat Pao]

This is so exciting! All songs from album performed, slightly longer setlist, different stage. I don't like how the non-NL songs are already performed on PCDL though. Nevertheless this makes me more excited than AT08!

[aura~]

If this is real I will be really happy! I always complain she forgets many of the latest album songs... many songs from MY STORY and (m)u were never sung (and i'm still waiting the day she'll sing criminal...)

The only thing about this tracklist... many songs are from PCDL... sure that she will do it different way... but I was hoping she would sing songs from memorial address and My Story... (walking proud, because of you, forgiveness, inspire, about you, moments...) But i understand the style she chose for PCDL fits better the NEXT LEVEL style...

So well, i'm happy because i loved those songs in PCDL!! in the corner, signal, hope or pain... the only one I hate is everywhere nowhere... i don't like this song.. XD

Well... I hope we'll have soon the final tracklist!

[waterballoon]

By the way, I feel HOPE or PAIN is SO redundant here... I mean just GREEN and Days filling the 'Ballad section' of the concert is good enough... I don't know.

[ren0210989]

wow, i can't wait to see the confirmed list of songs!!!!!!
all these speculations sound really great =D

[noidea]

Days is like...her most mainstream and boring ballad she had in the last years, so HOPE or PAIN kind of saved the ballad part for me, GREEN is great, too, but it doesnt flow well if they dont change it

[Tony G]

PCDL songs are there, but we don't know they used the same set/acts/dancing. I'm really glad she is singing HOPE or PAIN again, that song is AMAZING live.,

And good to see she is singing the whole of NEXT LEVEL. It always irks me that songs are left out that should really be sung live. Not this time.

[Ayumi27]

Oh, the setlist its a bit disappointing... I mean, it was NEXT LEVEL + worst of PCDL + overplayed staples

The good is that she performed the whole NL album!!!!
But she could have used the "old" staples, like independent, Trauma, vogue or sth like that instead of the same ones all over again

[noidea]

Now, I just hope she has different costumes for the ballads again, like in AT05, when the 3 ballads which followed on each other had all different costumes

This reminds me that you might be right. Cos well I don't know about HOPE or PAIN --- GREEN, but at least for Days she should have changed into a white dress or something, with a video of Shu-ya and her before it. Just like CAROLS.

[noidea]

I dont think HOPE or PAIN and GREEN work in the same costume, either, they are just too different, at least to me, hope or pain is white or black and GREEN is red, green or golden

[Ayumiko]

Its great to see all the songs from NEXT LEVEL are performed...atleast there's no disappointment that certain songs are left out like previous albums.

The stage looks a lot more simple than I expected....its almost like a cdl stage. I don't know if I like that....I was expected a funky and colorful stage...no moving screens......hopefully there'll be some cool special effects or something.

[JinHamasaki]

Why is everyone stressing over the few PCDL songs??! Hello, those were only performed for TWO days and I'm sure there are other people (in Japan) that were dying to see them performed and couldn't make it to PCDL (since its only in Tokyo). She's doing a great fanservice by performing a select few again....and the ones that were requested.

I am glad to see an all NEXT LEVEL tracklist, She even changed up her staples (yay! everywhere nowhere, this time without a broken mic !)

[yu2blue09]

So glad that she performs all the songs in NEXT LEVEL
