[criminal]

Thank you for writing that up. It was a nice read!

I'm glad you had a good time, girl! Too bad I don't leave for Japan until July/August, otherwise I would've volunteered to go with you. ^^ Maybe next year?

and who else congratulates ayu on the clips?

Thanks again!! lucky you! >_<

Marionette--the big carousel does come out of nowhere from the center stage, and from my vantage point, it looked pretty big (seemed to cover the whole center stage). I forget (already) if the flying ship of Mirrorcle World came out of nowhere or not...

Unfortunately, I could not recognise the other celebrities in the video clips >< ;; Only recognised DJ OZMA.

could u please explain some more about the talkin' 2 myself part? is she singing like evolution in AT07? what do u mean by the last 2 lines of the chorus?
then how's the carousel? ayu's in it or how? (in Marionette)
then what about the ship?

what abt the costumes
sorry askin 2 much

No problem on the questions.

Ayu opened with these acapella lines from talkin` 2 myself:

Hakai suru koto ni yori souzou wa umareru to iu koto o
Kimi wa shitte ru

In Marionette, Ayu and the dancers were all in the carousel, just like in the PV. I think the carousel stayed on the center stage throughout the whole Marionette performance.

The ship was in Mirrorcle World.

As for costumes...oh, unfortunately, I haven`t watched AT07 yet, so I can`t say much about costumes...but from what I can remember of AT06, seems like this year`s tour`s costumes are not nearly as elaborate.

Hmm, well, HANABI and End Roll maybe were not nearly as exciting as part of Me, but then again, I haven`t watched AT07 yet. I found (don`t) Leave me alone to be interesting because of the spinning wheel.

Haha, well, from what I could see, the dolls looked like Ayupan...I wanted them to pass out slices to the crowd,lol!!

can you tell us more about mirrorcle world performance?

Well, Mirrorcle World opened with the strings music and some scenes of a flying ship on the side screens...we see the dancers marching around on stage a bit. Then Ayu appears on the flying ship (on stage). I think she stayed on the ship the whole time.

Yeah, man, it would have been so awesome if we had gone to the same concert!! Gah,well, at least we still met up.

Hmm...I saw a lot of "older" people (more around my age and older); there were also full families there (parents, son, daughter)...those were probably the youngest people I saw there. Didn`t seem to be many high schoolers, but then again, I did not observe many other fans for too long haha. Maybe it was because the concert was on a weekday...not so many young people went? Not sure.

Hmm...maybe next year! We shall see.

Btw, I was able to type up the thank you message from Ayu last night; sorry if this has already been posted (yeah, not much time to look through threads here...sorry!). Here`s the message and translation:

Subject: Ayu’s Thank You Mail

Yeah!
By all means, welcome to today’s 10th Anniverary Live Commemoration.
Really, after saying that it has been ten years, I give everyone’s support my greatest gratitude.
Today, there were many surprises that happened, but when everyone sang to me “Who…” I really felt a strong emotion. Really, thank you~
Even though this year’s ASIA TOUR will take me half a year of traveling, today everyone gave me power and love. Until the final, I will try my hardest and return to Tokyo for you all again.

Until that exciting day comes!! From Ayu.

P.S. Also, please don’t forget today’s sale of the 10th Anniversary Commemoriation single, “Mirrorcle World”. *wink*

[AyuGAME]

[Jwiz]

[PoetGirl]

[octocoffee]

Thank you so much for this detailed report! Sounds like you had fun. Ayu's thank you message is cute too. I love how she's doing a bit of self-advertising at the end xD

[freedreamer]

THANKS FOR THIS!....
its so dang great!...hope to see it soon

[~*Mabushii*~]

sounds so amazing! when you mentioned it making Ayu cry, I could feel it and started to tear up too! LOL
I wish I was there!! ahhhhh!! >.<

[shidesha]

Yay! Thank you for wiritng this. I was at that concert too but my Japanese is poor so I didn't undertsand some parts so I am very greatful!!
I thought it was funny how they got the cake on and off the stage, I was certain they were going to drop the biggest tier lol
Ahhh it was an awesome concert I have to agree.

I have to say the boat on stage was my favourite part. She looked extremely epic performing like that. I also loved it when she was singing upside down and my boyfriend got a little too excited when she had the whips and chains and acting like a dominatrix LOL

Hey! I was hoping we could meet up before the concert, but I guess it was hard to plan with lack of Internet on my end ><; Yeah, I was afraid they were gonna drop the whole cake...lol it was so huge!

Did you buy any goods?

Yeah I got myself into lots of debt! LOL I bought too much ;_; I bought the hoodie, a black team message shirt, rubber bands, 8 ayupans (but of them four of them were ayu's dog lol) the golden shoulder bag, the small towel, the large towel.... too much stuff!
I also got an a symbol necklace at the other stands on the way out.
But Im very poor now ;_;

It was worth it though

I didn't have much access to the net either if its any consolation lol .. I got there on the 1st of april so i didn't have much communication with anyone for a while there
