Thoughts on ASIA TOUR 2007 ~Tour of Secret~ DVD

[Ayumiko]

I watched mine today. I'm very pleased with the packaging...very nice!

The preview in the beginning was awesome! got me hyped up for the concert. LABYRINTH and evolution was awesome...its like a goddess came down to earth from heaven.

Unite! was nothing special...like the same as usual.

Taskinst video was awesome! very cool! I wanna know who shuya shot...lol...

1 love...I like the part where they showed the rotating dancers on the screen and the dancers themselves were in the same pose. The performance itself in the cage was like AT02..not much happens...till the bars disappeared...I was a little disappointed how the explosion wasn't as loud as it should be. (from watching the secretly filmed clips) The pole dancing was ok...it was more like going around the pole, up the chair and repeat...but I give her credit for trying something different.

Until that day...didn't expect the guys to pole dance...they did a better job than the ladies...which is kinda weird. XD... I like the part when ayu and the male dancers were at the round stage, there was a spark explosion, and the male dancers sorta jumped off the rotating part of the stage.

M...it wasn't very impressive for such a great song. A museum, dome tour had such a impact, this one didn't do anything for me...even though the performance wasn't bad.

appears is definitely my fav performance! Ayu dancing was soooo elegant!! I love it! She improved so much! remembering in the past how she doesn't really dance and when she did, it was very stiff and now it's so natural and smooth!

part of me...I love the intro video! the kimono was very beautiful...I love her wig too. The performance was too much like moments from AT05...but I do like the end part where ayu and shuya was trying to reach each other...ayu's platform was lowering at the same time...just when they were about to touch each other's hand, shuya disappeared...fell in the hole...XD

Secret...I like the red ribbons that comes down and the way ayu lifts up part of her kimono to walk...that was very elegant.

kiss o' kill...the beginning was awesome. The instrumental part and ayu yelling part was awesome. My mom saw the intro part and she said it was very cool how ayu jumped up to the stage. I liked that part too! I don't know if its because I already know it wasn't ayu wearing the mask or what but the first time I saw 'her' she doesn't look like ayu...looks like her double.

Not yet...OMG...the video is sooo cool!!! XD...I love everything about it. Her hair looks like they were in braids...looks good!

SURREAL...nothing special...but I have to point out that I was distracted by her legs when she was walking towards the round stage...XD

Audience...nothing special...actually I don't like the song itself...the only performance I ever liked for this song was AT06

Boys & Girls...too bad there wasn't water fountain...it would of been so cool with all those lights. The only thing I like about this performance is the light up stage, the costumes, and the end when the curtain goes down and you think its over but then it goes up again.

encore...I was a bit disappointed how there wasn't much mc...in the past there used to be questions and stuff that yochan would read off for ayu to answer and stuff...but this time there was none shown.

documentary...I enjoyed it...the only down part is having to watch it inbetween the concerts. (I'm gonna have to rewatch it seperately) too bad they didn't show how they put the part of me wig on ayu...I wanna see! and where's the shanghai press conference with ayu wearing the red qi pao? its in the booklet but not in the documentary...

anyways....I'm gonna rewatch everything seperately...the concert overall was very good...its just that she have some performances too similar to her previous ones...but I kinda expected that already. She did kinda mentioned in a magazine interview how the asia tour was to show the overseas fans her japan concert performances...I guess that could also explain why there's many of her usual concert songs. I am really hoping AT08 will be better. The cdl was very good already so hopfully it will be better.
