Just got back..
My first CDL and it was crap!
For God's sake, she didn't sing the GREAT Evolution!!!!
At first, I thought she skipped humming and Evo, 'cause she's gonna put it on Encore.. but?!

Setlist:
01.do it again
02.Happening Here
xx.insomnia
03.MOON
04.fated
05.NEVER EVER
06.sending mail
07.Sparkle
08.flower garden
09.RAINBOW
10.November
11.Ladies Night
12.Party Queen + Happening Here
13.Love song
ENCORE
14.how beautiful you are
15.Trauma (short version)
16.Boys&Girls
17.MY ALL

The stage set really looks like a real Japanese "LOVE HOTEL" theme (seriously!)
Opening was quite interesting, with a small square stage hanging from the ceiling. But IMO, do it again is not a good choice to open the show.

Happening here was.. okay.. didn't get the fun

MOON, Fated, NEVER EVER.. bored to death. I didn't feel the songs at all!

Sending mail was good & catchy.. love the chorus

Flower garden was okay

RAINBOW could be better..

November was so-so

Ladies night was okay

Party queen + happening here (short) was so random, weird.. I don't know

Love Song was the best from all, but she did it vocally way better on PoM

How beautiful you are forgettable for me

TRAUMA was short with the same choreo. It was fun

B&G, MY ALL were same like usual

Overall, It was really a BIG disappointment!!
Feel like being deceived with lesser songs. She didn't really move and interact with the audience, not until Flower Garden. Tissue dancers & clowns.. do it agaaiin... agaiiin... and agaaiinn....
When MY ALL started to play, I was like "HUH?! It's over already?!"

Where did the AWESOMENESS of PoM go???? Seriously I wanna cry...

*end of story*

Yes I agree a lot with Lee^Chan (except Love song being the best perf of the night)

I definitely would feel so cheated if this CDL was my first ever Ayu concert.

It felt so lifeless at times, MOON and fated really were boring, felt like they dragged on, even though I love listenening to it on CD.

It's as if Ayu was missing something... Maybe she herself is unhappy with this inferior show...

Wow, I thought I was harsh. lol.

I'm glad someone else noticed that the set in general looks cheap. Not like an expensive, luxury hotel kind of thing like I think most people were expecting. I mean the main props in the show are two mattresses, a sofa and a couple of DOORS. Not exactly impressive.

I doubt it was cut short because of a curfew, although I suppose it's possible. But if the MC was longer than yesterday, then why cut songs if the time was what the issue was? Audience was only for like a minute anyways. And even if time was the reason, it's not the audiences fault that the show started late - they should get the same length set list as the previous day; her tickets aren't exactly cheap.

But to start with, starting 30 minutes late is odd. Yes, Ayu's shows usually start late, but I was talking about 10-15 minutes. Never have I had a 30 minute wait.

I'm really glad though now that more people have seen the show that I wasn't the only one who felt there was something very "off" about it. I really thought I may have just become too jaded when it came to Ayu and that everyone else would be on here praising how amazing the show was or something.
