As always I agree with you
The only thing I don't really like are her hair.. and I thought she would have sang "Life" but she didn't. Anyway, Japanese fans said this tour is amazing, someone also said it's one of her bests. And I'm so sad I can't go and listen to my A song for xx LIVE... ;_;

[Polyrhythm]

She looks bad with that hair.

Still, A Song for XX + walking proud is all I need from her at a concert. This should be good.

[ayumisrael]

I actually hated her short her, but I like her look in this show, that dress is amazing!

[CZECHayu]

woooow that is so unexpected.

I think that I'm not against this idea. But all of Ayu's tours were with costumes and everything and all of the staff had great time with the big show.
Isn't this the time for letting people know that she's still the same and that she'll stay with them?

I can say that I know what she wanted to do. But no encore? For me it's to much. It'd be great but without encore?

Maybe I feel this way because it's my first tour that I attend. I feel little sad. But only little. I'll be able to see Ayu live. I definitely need to come back to see her big concert.

But it definitely suits to the power of music. it's the true meaning. so I think that I'm not sad anymore, I just didn't waited anything like this.

[JCD13]

Love her hair and costume. Very fresh and new. Can't wait to watch this tour.

[toniayu]

she looks perfect!!is what POWER of MUSIC needs~

[SKYia]

A little trim and the hair would look like from My Story era which I loved.

At least there's no oversized bow in her hair.

I like the dress but I don't think it suits all the songs, she could at least have one change, eg get into jeans in the end.

[love in music]

it looks like a modified better version of the Endless Sorrow dress from the last CDL. aww at her sitting down on the floor cross legged while singing~

[pommy48]

I love the tracklist and the idea ♥

I've always wanted a simple concert like this! But I just wish that she would either change her hair or her dress~ They don't go together X_X

[Yoake]

The dress is so cute!
God I would like to see that concert!
The tracklist is amazing too.

- Some songs were very different from their original versions and are more orchestrated sounding with the 23 piece[?] orchestra (Yay, strings and brass!) and some had a jazz flair to them[/URL]

Oh My God...
This is EXACTLY what I wanted her to do for a long time...
Something with no big props, glamorous costumes and amazing visual effects. Just a simple performance where she can focus on her voice and the interaction with the audience. No fake emotions, no acting. Just her doing what she has to do.
I hope her voice will be good.

And Jazz/Orchestra arrangements!!!!!!

Sounds AMAZING.

[zellyx]

Waiting for some reviews..
I heard the reviews were positive, but I'm
So curious..... I wonder how her voice has improved?!?
Oh and can't wait to hear the trilogy & asfxx.
She's trying to be down to earth and prove that she's there for her people

LOL Ayu's dress looks like something an ice skater would wear. I love the natural hair and the make up! It's good to see she's letting her scalp breathe for once.

[AyuWorld]

Ayu looks nice in that dress and with the make up and her new haircut she looks like our "new" and fresh Ayu ^^

exactly my thoughts! I think her outfit as well as the whole idea of the tour are quite nice, not over the top dramatic, something fresh and light, just like she herself

[Bad Wolf]

So the songs were partially rearranged? That's wonderful

[Kazeyomi]

That dress.. it's kinda unexpected lol. I thought she would wear something really simple, like just a shirt and a pair of jeans.
She looks gorgeous though :3 and I like her hair.

[NintendoHTF1242]

The setlist is so amazing omg

Hmmm, what do they mean by that? Like, are there just some pretty background screens? Or is it like screens -> AT05 'special' screens?

Thanks for your help~

And I'm looking at more blog entries and some people who saw it last night say that it was really awesome and this was "the real Ayu" on stage. I also saw one thing that said "gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous" live~

Oh yeah, I don't know if the a song is born performance will be in the other concerts because this was the Hiroshima date after all... which is what she normally performs in Hiroshima.

Wow, final screen = HOPE ~ Pray for Japan?

omg the side parting makes ayu look a bit weird.
The dress looks classy but kinda doesn't match with the hair hahah

btw there is at least a variation in the dress? or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
The 2nd set of photos (on the right) - 1st row, 1st from right. That dress looks long to me and it looked almost similar to the Endless sorrow dress in cdl 2010-2011 LOL.
