[chibishun]

I uploaded it in download section

[pchan1986]

not as favorite as AT08 or PCDL but my most fave performances from AT09 were:

Rule: awesome intro to the concert
Signal: i never get tired of this
Green: her vocals were pretty darn good
Identity: one word:SEXY
Sparkle: shes so cute in this altho the dance is O-O
Next Level: love the white sparkly suit

im not trying to complain about this concert but as her fan, its a rendition of PCDL (which i loved) and nothing was too 'great' as AT08 *sighs* i wished she wouldve added some songs shes never sang live before in this concert. not PCDL part II BUT overall i still love to watch it. soo whens the dvd coming out? LoL

dang it, i'm waiting for someone to upload the whole show on jpopsuki.eu but still no luck ;.;

Bridge to the Sky/NEXT LEVEL is quite possibly one of my favorite ayu concert performances. It made me cry, remembering what she said for NTV. They asked, "Why did you become a singer?" and she replied, "I was looking for a place where I belonged."

Spoiler:

And then I watch this, and BTTS has all those photos of ayu's whole life, and then NEXT LEVEL has this heavenly look with the white clothes and the cloudy smoke, and you feel like she finally feels like she got there, like she found a place she belongs.

I LOVED it. My eyes are welling up!

[truehappiness]

Aww, Nobuo Eguchi wasn't the drummer this time around!

I wonder if he was booked for the end of October? Hm...

[Ayumiko]

^yea I noticed that too...I like him better than this unknown guy.

[ayumi.hamasaki]

Is there a download available from MU ?

[aura~]

I donwloaded all the files but the password doesn't work or sth!! I'm also downloading the link in download section... but someone knows what happens?

[Aderianu]

^ what pass did you use?

[Corvina]

Ok, I'm disappointed.
I was so looking forward to rollin' and Sparkle, cause those are my absolutely favourite songs from NEXT LEVEL and it seemed to be so promising from all these reviews about the concert...

All of you who said her vocals are awesome... what are you hearing? I really wonder, cause her voice isn't good at all. In every performance on youtube (rollin', Sparkle, evolution, Signal).
It's horrible in rollin' and in Sparkle after it seems heavily edited because of that.
And the dance, I expected more with it. rollin' is funny, but in Sparkle she's standing there, doing some handmoves here and there and that's all. Where's the actual dance in Sparkle? I love the end with Ayu going freaky though, but they don't show much of it.
And the audience doesn't seem to be more hyped up as usual with Ayu or any other singer.

rollin':
Nice idea, but it good have been so much better. The beginning is great, the lights are nice, the screens amazing. But why didn't they use the throbbing part at the second verse better? That could be epic with lights throbbing in the same way the music goes in this verse. Missed chance. But overall nice performance, cause I can take it funny as it seems to be meant.
Sparkle:
Well, yeah, it's boring with Ayu just standing there.
Her voice sounds better, the screens are nice and I love the end with Ayu spinning round.
evolution:
Why does she sing in her cute voice at the end? Oh dear, I don't like that. The rest is the usual routine.
Signal:
There is an acutal choreography at some points and it's nice to see. I also like her energy with it. Her voice doens't sound good though, that's sad. Can't somebody tell Ayu that singing loud isn't the same as singing strong?

Seriously her voice is buggin me with all those performances.
It's getting worse every year, I'm a little bit worried.

Ayu seems to be having a lot of fun, but to be honest that's just a plus for me.
If I'm paying that much money to see an artist live (or on DVD)I wanna hear great vocals, have a great visual experience and the artist having fun.
The vocals and the voice are still the most important thing for an artist and for an concert.
I like the costumes so far, they're something different for her, more tacky, but that's entertaining somehow.

I'm not impressed. rollin' is my favourite so far.
I'm waiting till I see the rest of the concert. I hope I'll be surpriesd in a positive way.

[Ayu_Ready]

I love this show because he is new!! and so alive she's so energic and she does something she never did with this electro atmosphere ! I LOVE !

[tetsuo69]

Well after readings lots of complaints @ jpopmusic forum , i went and downloaded the clip that was uploaded @ jpopsuki and i have to say its not that bad, atleast not has bad as how some people over at the other forum made it seem. nothing super great but nothing bad at all, i would have to say it looks interesting..

i will wait for the ISO or a HD to be upload @ Jpopsuki ^^ till then i will wait for the whole concert

[zyoeru]

I just watched the entire concert and I thought it was fantastic! The best performances are LOVE 'n' HATE, Sunrise, identity, Days, GREEN, rollin', Sparkle and NEXT LEVEL.
I wasn't impressed with EnergizE at all...it was kinda embarrassing to watch but the disco-munication screen was really entertaining!
NEXT LEVEL made me well up! >_<

That is NOT the correct password. When they PMed you that, they might have been telling you to go check KMC to see what it is.

[emi♡]

the password should be "cool7@kmc" for the kmc file.

the files all out in the open so I dont see why its all weird with people PMing each other...thats why i posted the username earlier.

[njanjayrp]

Well not that I've seen the concert I have to say that I am really positively surprised. The whole concert had something fresh and in a way different about it, even though she used some of the old ideas and even though there weren't any "major props" this time. The stage was indeed amazing and I didn't expect LOVE n HATE and identity performances to be as stunning, nor her voice in Days to be as good up to the part when she started crying and even Shuya wasn't as annoying as usual. I really loved almost all the performances both vocally and visually, the one I liked the least was In the Corner. In other words I hope that the next tour is going to be even more original as I liked where she is going~

I know I was like what's going on! I don't like this! No offence to the current drummer who was good, I just miss Nobuo. Wonder why he wasn't on this tour? Hope he's at CDL 09/10 - it's not the same otherwise!

Have watched Sparkle, Rollin', Signal & Evolution. Not sure if her vocals were at her best but enjoyed Signal & Evolution, but with Sparkle and Rollin' it sounded more like they were playing a backing track than instruments.

[roanmy]

I LOVED it! Especially identity! Rawr!

But... Do you guys think they edited her voice? If they did, it is not (as) noticable as in AT08... Except for maybe energiZe which didn't really sound all that live. =p

[nanakopy87]

so,they didn't broadcast encore part?or NEXT LEVEL is actually the ending song for the whole concerT?
