Too bad there are no stops in Taiwan or HK this year, we'd be getting loads of clips by now

Spoiler:
We had such a nice time. We started dating in t2m PV, took it slow you know, let our love grow. Then it got really serious in 2008. Then after AT2009 we moved in together. It was lovely. Then on AT2010 he asked me to marry him. He was such a sweet. And Ayu gave us our blessings. She was also such a sweet. Now me and Maro are such a sweets together. Aaaw, how time flies.

its really funny how for weeks there were no clips and now 3 in a week xD(though the my all clip was uploaded for 3 weeks already it seems)
but 3 clips still is almost nothing, we had so many clips of the asia tours xD and this tour already is 1/3 over or something and we have 3 videos xD

^ i guess because the tour is in Japan itself and Japan has high confidentiality of all these things.

if the concert is over, i bet we can watch at least half an hour of the concert immediately after the concert ends already.

The couple of clips that we have seen till now, if i'm not mistaken, were recorded by the foreigners not the japanese.

I won't expect to see a longer clip from this tour during this time, but more of sneak peek would be nice.

for me I still don't think the tour is that great...a lot of things suck really badly...

but it seems like the "omg Ayu concert" factor is still huge in why we all want to see it...because we love her lol and it seems that while a lot of things do suck, she still delivers a lot of other good stuff...like cool effects and the screens and all...

I still wish she looked better though

about the lipsync discussion...uh it's pretty normal to have those after we get actual videos...so i don't know why people are complaining...Let's just be happy that we have them all in this thread...and not a million "Do you think Ayu Lipsycned in the perf. of Rule?" "do you think ayu lipsynched in the EnergizE perf.?" "Do you think Ayu lipsychned in the NEXT LEVEL tour?"...etc...

Which, tbph is EXTREMELY plausible. Especially with how she's been feeling about her vocals lately...so all the people who are like "OMG NO SHE DIDNT" need to calm down because, no one really has any proof.

What sucks exactly? I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, just would like to understand your point of view better. Is it just the costumes? Lol. I don't think anything could be as bad as that chicken suit she wore one time T_T; I didn't see the concert, but I sure saw the pics lol.

@jbrat: I don't really care for any of the costumes...they're awful, cheesy, and some look really cheap.

Her vocals will likely not be any good either...not to mention that I don't like the album at all so...it's kinda difficult for me to appreciate it live...because for me the music isn't that great...

I can live with bad vocals of an artist that I like...but when the music isn't composed well, or put together well...it's not really cool anymore...I think it's a good thing she's performing her old songs...even though we heard them already at PCDL.

I wasn't really expecting much from the stage either...given her last two tours...which were kinda messy...though 07 was probably the worst one...08 was okay...but yeah the costumes there aren't exactly spectacular either...she seems to like cheesy stuff for concerts...

she needs to pull stuff out of her closet...as far as costumes go...I think she'll turn into a "kuu" for me...Kuu always has wtf costumes lol

I am happy about the stage though...it doesn't look corny, and actually looks cool...I think that the whole electro idea will make up for the costumes, music, and vocals.


and of course she's had awful costumes in the past...but it wasn't like for the entire concert

I feel that costumes are important because nobody wants to see their favourite singer to perform LIVE in plain costumes in front of them.

i understand what your saying emiko. i too had that feeling that this concert isnt mind blowing as i thought it would be. first were the costumes, not really all out like AT08. second, its much too similiar to PCDL (which i love) but seeing it twice kinda kills the concert. the only performances im looking forward to are RULE and Sparkle since those are the songs i love from the album. my most favorite concert would be Arena tour 2006, i dunno i really like that concert for some reason, the effects, the costumes, etc. im not saying i dont like this concert, due to the fact that this is the first time ive purchased so many concert goods from any tour, im absolutely estatic to see it for the first time when it comes out. ^^

ooo wait....would love to see identiy and love n hate too hahaha

Costume junky!!!! LOL j/k

To be honest, I pay attention to NONE of those things...
I don't care about what she wears, I love the album to bits, the stage and screens look amazing and I'm use to Ayu not sounding as good live (at least she sings live). I just don't make too big of a deal about it, probably because I'm an obsessed fan. I figure if it all comes together well, GREAT! If not, who cares it's Ayu xD; My friends make fun of me for getting excited when she comes on stage, especially because we're watching it via DVD. But I see where you're coming from

AT06 is probably my favorite ever, too! I love everything about it.

I liked the fact that the costumes aren't that extravagant...

extravagant costumes + extravagant stage + extravagant screens + extravagant effects = visual polution

@jbrat:Well I get really excited whenever I see her stuff live...but I mean...sometimes it's just like "wtf" lol

It's not really like all about the costumes...but her this and her last three tour's have had seriously cheesy costumes...and I mean...it's just...I wish she didn't have to look so bad.

I think the costumes just kinda pushed it over the edge...since I didn't like the album.

I'll be excited to see it though, and her ballads will probably be awesome for me...exception of curtain call...is she doing that one?

I think...the reason why the costumes matter to me, is because they kinda give the performance a feel. Like when she wears a tie and a fedora, it contributes to the overall feel of whats going on, or when she wears a pink tutu and fairy wings. You know? It just adds. She's actually the only artist where I find what they wear affects how I feel.


I think it was 2007 where I think I just could not take the feel of the performance...the one where she opens and it's like...the dancers are dressed in the Baroque period...and she sings evolution and unite in that weird black and gold thing...and like there's just sooo many styles that she just threw together with the costumes and the stage like it made sense...and I was just like...this is awful lol

@andrenakoi: the 2007 was visual pollution...her costumes don't need to be extravagant...but they could at least look cool or good, or stylish.

(im so lazy with putting quotes in my posts lately lol)

Lol I guess. It's cute when it goes with a theme, like that Diner theme and the Neptune theme or whatever... but I dunno... they're just clothes LOL. You know what my problem is, I'm a shoes+handbags person, I could care less about clothes O_O; Now if Ayu comes out on stage with some Louboutin's and LV, I'll pay attention lol.

well if she comes out in those she BETTER have good clothes to match

what if she came out in nothing but shoes and a handbag!

sorry this is jpopstop talk lol

so anyway...


you know i was going through screens of all her concerts...and you know what...her costumes suck for the most part lol so whatever.

I think AT05 was the best year for her costumes. they were so elegant without being too over the top.

I think this'll be a good tour...I think with all the effects and stuff, it'll look cool, and it won't disappoint so much as I had originally thought.

I think if she's gonna do big dresses, at least emulate some sort of couture gown during a ballad and not some strange poofy costume mermaid-styled wedding dress that makes her hips look HUGE, you know?
