yeah, there was something epic to it really and the giant stage did it good, too and this seems to be even missing that, but lets wait for more images, i want to see the dancers, props(if there are any except the glittery chair o.0) and is there nothing flying in the air? she ALWAYS had something flying o.0

uhmm I don't think that would make any difference

but anyway, at least she sang all the new songs.....


I was really expecting for more glamour, colors, cool outfits.



but yea, lets wait and see how it goes...

[noidea]

It would make it atleast a bit better, amazing props would make up for the bad costumes a bit(in my opinion)

[hiroshi_ben]

wondering with all the unhappiness going around...will something be changed along the tour?

[noidea]

I hope so, she always changed things, but I think the changes in this tour would have to be giant, so we shouldnt expect too much, but things like a better wig or 1 or two changes cotsumes and 1 or 2 changed songs is really possible i think

lol thats soo true!

since 2008 I believe

[nEwly]

Maybe she and her staff haven't any ideas after 10 years of touring and performing...
Anyway, I will buy the dvd when it comes out and will be happy to see Ayu still performing ^.^

[thangkhung91]

ok costumes

but I wouldn't judge too much from the small pictures. If ther are special props I don't think they'll reveal them this early, like wth the ship last year. But on the other hand if there were special props fans would have reported that by now...

I hope there will be more reports from todays concert later

[Ayumi27]

So much DRAMA over here...

I mean, it's still really early to judge the whole show, we still don't know nothing about her vocals, how much she dances, the whole stage nor if those costumes are the final ones

And if she did ran out of ideas this time, is understandable. She has done so many tours, one offs, specials, etc over this decade that we should be thankful for that. And before criticize, we should consider that she hasn't have any time to rehearse, with the pressure of releasing a rushed album and its promotion, rushed single and multiple PV's, CM's, and so on

Perhaps the NEXT LEVEL tour is a more relaxed and enjoyable one, like Stadium Tour 2002, where what you enjoy is actually Ayu, her songs and stage presence and not the larger-than-life props and epic effects

Hmmm, actually if that's the case, it'll be kinda nice. Like, Ayu retires from all the special theatrics that she started using hardcore since AT2005 (like she said she did)... and starts to be more down to earth? Hmm~

But then again it seems that there'll be all the videos and the usual concert sequence.

I pray so hard that she might change her outfits ...

I know ... keep on praying ... (-_-'')

[emikoishida]

She seriously needs to hire us to design the concert.

[noidea]

good idea...she could start a contest for fans to send in ideas for her performances and costumes

YES TOTALLY

[noidea]

I mean seriously, in the imagine a setlist threads theres always so great ideas, not just setlistwise, but also for the performances, stages, props and so on...some people here really have talent imagining a good concert

[Francotirador]

Woa!!, the track list is similar to PCDL, cool, I want to see again that performance of In the corner.

[njanjayrp]

Ah aren't u people being over-dramatic? Sure the costumes don't look very creative and some were recycled but they don't make the whole concert, if I actually had the chance to see it live, the thing I'd care the less is the costumes.

And lol, everyone seems so creative! Stop complaining all the time, Ayu's designers aren't gods, people have their limits and she's been working with pretty much the same people for years. And thank god she isn't asking the fans what to wear as that would lead to her looking like a mobile jungle.
