because this is NOT supposed to become a "what was synched and what not" discussion

^ thank truehappiness for that, but this is definitly my last post about AT08 playback in this thread^^

Comparing TV version and DVD version is kind of useless.
Even though they are from different Performances,
The vocals from Taiwan could have been replaced on the DVD..
DVD can be 100% edited, so you cant really know what is real or not.
Unless you have TV version of Taiwan performance, you cannot make that judgment about Talkin' 2 Myself and the others in that method..
I would just like to point this out before any other discussion about TV DVD and facial movements, what is lipsync, ect..

^ For the viewer that doesn't make the slightest difference and then that would mean BOTH versions of AT08 have replaced sound because they use CDL0708(and most likely a-nation '07, but wer never got that performance, right?) playback.
Plus nobody ever reported her having bad vocals in t2m, so theres no reason to replace them
Also, theres playback discussions in Japan as well, it would be really dumb from avex to use the same audio on both if they really replaced it, japanese fans notice that as well.

Updated first post with a short report on 7/29 concert. ^^

[SunshineSlayer]

Thanks for the updates.

[RPGames]

You're welcome. ^^

[truehappiness]

Thanks.. except.. yeah..

- They played the full Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~ single at the goodies stand. Sunset is rather dull and sounds like a slow remix of Sunrise. It's rather generic and slow. The remix is great, though. It's basically a medley of the summer songs, not an actual remix.
- The encore song order was changed to: Curtain call > For My Dear... > Sunrise > everywhere nowhere > Humming 7/4 > Boys & Girls > MY ALL.
- Sunrise was played in full this time (including the intro, etc.). There's a "choreography" that the audience does during the chorus. It's basically a Koda Kumi girls rip-off that involves swinging a towel around in a circle the whole time. Really fun, though!

1st point: Mash ups are just medleys usually, haha. And it is a ballad version of Sunrise, what did you expect?
2nd point: Need to add that to the concert post!
3rd point: Hello!Project people have done that move for years now. It irks me that people think that K**a has a patent on everything it has ever done and that people SINCERELY BELIEVE that it was the first to do many things when it hasn't. BLAH!

Actually the swinging towels thing started since Kuu's With your smile iirc (at least for Kuu), not girls. But thanks anyway!!!

I mean, I've never loved glitter (not to say I hated it), but I enjoyed it so much in CDL 07/08 or in Asia Tour 07's encore that I can't imagine I would stop cheering during a concert just because I don't like a song.

I was thinking the same, I'd probably still jumping and cheering even people around me stop.

Thanks for the review ^^

LOL!!

07 Load of the Shogyu
This was actually a very long interlude. It showed Ayu's male dancers being tortured in some stair with electric shocks. They had wires all over their bodies. It was actually disturbing to me. The woman behind me also made some noises showing how disturbed she was by it. The male dancers are locked up. Ayu likes Shuya and opens his prison to give him some water, but he betrays her and free the other dancers and they run.

Wow. I really did wonder if Ayu's videos were very... Hmm, what's the word I'm looking for? Uh, much more than usual for a Japanese audience. I guess they are, seeing as how you and that other woman were a little disturbed.

During the performance, there was some usual Ayu-touching-herself going on and half-naked dancers running around.

Haha! Sorry, it sounded funny.

16 rollin' - 6/5
Best performance of the concert hands down. The dance was very cool and original. It was sort of like robot moves. The first chorus she wore sunglasses. When she took them off she looked around in a very fun way but her eyes were very large and some girl around me was freaked out by it. The chorus sound quality was perfect and very bass-heavy.

Ohh, this is my favorite song off the album! I can't wait to see it on DVD!



Amazing review, really. You were totally honest and very descriptive in some ways that other reviewers aren't. I really enjoyed reading this.
