[QUOTE=SKYia;1897464]On the other hand, when in that purple outfit she makes moves as if the audience was singing some parts, is it possible with identity / L'n'H? or there's also some old song being sing in this outfit I wonder?
QUOTE]

Ayu called the audience to sing "no no no ..." in Sparkle, confirmed by akane@ayuchina

[panda♥]

just think about this: Ayu is trying her hardest. you guys know how much she wants to please her fans no matter what, i'm sure her heart is into this but she really needs a break. :/

[rusuke]

My oh My!!! This is great!!

[noidea]

GREAT o.0 <- ironic

Rule outfit is a messup between the PV/Music Station costume and the PCDL End of the World costume, which already was recycled from the Honda commercial http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/5666/ayu3dc8.jpg

the big dress is a completely new outfit, which is still just TOO similar to the Powder Snow PCDL outfit

the next dress has the same shape the HOPE or PAIN/Over/Scar outfit had, just another colour o.0

Real Me(PCDL) costume was recycled inanother color(at least the dancers seem to wear shiny costumes xD but that could be the real me dancer costumes from the cdl which she opened with it(0203 i think) xD

In the Corner got...ANOTHER TIE?

a jacket was added to the evolution CDL0708 costume...

the cute costume ism okay, i dont like it, but its better than ANGEL'S SONG PCDL0809

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a1...-123949198.jpg the upper right costume is great, i really like it

and the corsett on is nice as well

the costumes are nothing near ANY of her older tours, many of them just look cheap, compared to her tours 2005, 2006 and even 2007 and 2008(though they already were way worse) its nothing

her next level is a level down costume wise, at least the stage looks good, but i wonder where she has platforms on it(an ayu tour without many platforms would be.... 2 levels down, she always had these amazing elevators, even in her concert tour 2000 session 1 and i dont see where they fir on the stage properly)

i hope theres interesting things going on on the screens and interesting props(but as of now, it seems the chair is the only prop there is...)

actually I really enjoy the setlist now, I made a playlist and listened to it yesterday evening and it flows amazing except the ballad part of the show

I dont blame ayu for the costumes, the budget probably wasnt enough for a new stage(which looks really great BTW), good costumes and props

[sparkle glitter]

I love how whenever Ayu does something you guys don't like you say she needs a break. The outfits are fine. Recycled but absolutely better than last years. It's going to be great to see her performing all these new songs from NEXT LEVEL

[alternarist]

I heard from somewhere that ayu start AT09 with acapella of Rule, same like what she did with t2m in AT08.

So which line of Rule did ayu sing, before there is an explosion to start Rule officially?

-___- Deja vu.

[noidea]

probably the first line/lines of the first chorus...and I have three deja-vus...t2m AT08 had acapella in the beginning and evolution AT07 was WAY quiter in the beginning, so that it was almost acapella, Born to Be... AT06 also had a quiet, vocals only(even if it was computerized) beginning before the instruments kick in, she really seems to like that kind of opening

Now we know where the big white dress came from~

Add some bling to the buttons, change the outer wear to white, remove the collar and a little alteration to the skirt part and voila!

I thought of the same performance but didnt have screens and I forgot which song it was(so eneabba.net was no way for me to find it xD), well probably find out that the EnergizE costume is reused as well xD it reminds me of a santa costume she once weared for appears, but i cant remember it clearly

[yamogi]

Too many recycled stuff...i am disappointed...

[PEARL]

still acceptable but i can't accept the purple outfit+wig. x.x

[a_kingdom21]

disapointed..
horrible..
awfull..
n so on..

ur all also recycled ur words steatmen too..lately..LoL..

WìSH U 4 ALL D BEST AYU..

ganbate ne~~

[noidea]

^ Maybe because theres not that many english words + most people her are no native speakers, Id use different words meaning the same if I knew some xD
And her costumes ARE awful

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

shes digging a hole, going deeper and deeper (?)

[ayulove_18]

For me, I like the setlist cause all next level song are in it and I don't think that she has ever done that before but I hate the fact that she re-used almost every single one of her outfits again. The tour doesn't even feel like a tour just the PCDL all over again. Nothing in this tour is really exciting and new, matches or goes together at all. It's just so random and recycled like she didn't put a lot of thought into it. Like it was really rushed and with a low budget. It doesn't seem to flow very well. There are some new things with this tour but what just stands out the most are the similarities not the differences.

I also think it is kind of unfair for the fans that went to the PCDL and are going to go to this concert have basically payed or going to pay to see the same thing again. This could hurt dvd sales for both pcdl and when the at 09 comes out. CDLs have always had a charm for me of being a one time thing and to see it again for 4 months is kind of disappointing.

I was thinking of going to see this later this year but I am thinking of changing my mind. I don't know yet.

Don't get me wrong I love ayu and all but this could of been a lot better. Although we might think a little differently if we are there to see it for ourselves.

Sorry to put so much reference on the PCDL not everything is from that one but every think except the cheerleader/gray outfit, we have seen before in some way.

Yes, its still possible that the stage, the happening on the screen, the dances andn her vocals are just pure amazing...but almost nobody wrote about how amazing that things are, so i doubt it, this seems like another Stadium Tour 2002 to me....and that tour bored the hell out of me
