I think the arena will be different and better (i hope lol) because more budget is engaged

Chibi-Chan · #**422** 25th February 2012, 04:42 PM

I hope the setlist will be completely different!

TeamAyu2004 · #**423** 25th February 2012, 05:24 PM

^ well, its not going to be the countdown again if thats what everyone is worried about...
Ayumi wouldn't do that!

truehappiness · #**424** 25th February 2012, 10:44 PM

It appears that while reviewing footage for both CDL and the current tour, she cannot tell them apart. I hope this isn't a bad sign of a complete remake...

MissElin_ · #**425** 25th February 2012, 10:52 PM

^I didn't really get that tweet. They have already video taped HLS tour or...? What does she mean? I think it's funny that she actually writes Love Hotel instead of the other way.

truehappiness · #**426** 25th February 2012, 11:03 PM

They tape dress rehearsals and stuff so that she can review them, I guess? It seems a bit early for them to be doing those, but it's the only thing that makes sense imo.

TeamAyu2004 · #**427** 25th February 2012, 11:48 PM

Oh, lord. I hope not... maybe she means the quality of her voice?
I hope we get more songs and a different set list...

SunshineSlayer · #**428** 26th February 2012, 12:19 AM

^ I wouldn't really count on that. The tour and the CDL do essentially have the same name after all. I'm keeping my hopes relatively low and only expecting the countdown part of the set list to be different.

That was kinda my fear because sections of the CDL show really seemed like they were probably taken directly from the tour. I'm hoping its at least a center stage though, because some of those performances would probably work a lot better on that type of stage.

truehappiness · #**429** 26th February 2012, 12:27 AM

Well, I imagine they won't be completely the same since recently she mentioned that the setlist for the tour was finished, so it's not a complete carbon copy, I think. It will probably retain the intro at least since that seemed to be originally planned for the ORIGINAL HOTEL Love songs. We'll probably see different outfits too, I think.

TeamAyu2004 · #**430** 26th February 2012, 12:27 AM

If it is the same show I hope this means that she will plan on doing two different tours this year!

There will definitely be SOME additions from Party Queen I think, maybe in the segments Sparkle and Ladies Night are in, they could replace songs like Humming and Love Song. The tour starts right after her album release after all.

TeamAyu2004 · #**432** 26th February 2012, 01:38 AM

If it's Hotel Love Songs, I hope she doesn't get rid of Love Songs....
thats a pretty good song...
Ladies Night and Sparkle on the other hand can go bye~bye

isthisLOL? · #**433** 26th February 2012, 01:43 AM

Ladies Night and Sparkle are the songs closest to what Party Queen seems to be like so far, that's the last songs I see her kicking out. Especially Ladies Night since it had a whole prop installation only used for it. While songs like Humming literally only had a lightshow and can be replaced without really sacrificing anything. Love Song, not so much, but that song seemed very tacked on to me. It did NOT fit into the segment at all, the props were horribly tacky...her vocals were great though.

HilaryDuffFanboy · #**434** 26th February 2012, 01:48 AM

I knew this tour was going to be a mess. Just waiting for confirmation now.

Wait, why is it a mess before the tour's even happened?

From what's been said about the 'original' tour, it'll probably turn out rather nice in complete tour form. Tour performances-as-CDL-performances never turn out well imo, which is why CDL may have been a bit of a head scratcher.

TeamAyu2004 · #**436** 26th February 2012, 02:40 AM

@ isthisLOL?
I would agree about Sparkle and Ladies Night, but I'm pretty sure Party Queen has enough of the "party" songs to cut out some of the older stuff.
Humming should be part of the encore like always and love songs could use a brush up, truth, but the tour is called Hotel Love Songs.. kicking out the main song would be kinda... blah

I couldn't agree more. If this is the first concert I am going to see live I don't want Ladies night in it and hopefully Humming will also get kicked out of the set list and replaced by another classic. Love song should stay ^^ I am really hoping there won't be THAT many Party Queen songs as they'll still be relatively new to us when the tour starts, but I guess that's asking for too much.

MissElin_ · #**438** 26th February 2012, 11:53 AM

^Yeah probably. The tour is supposed to promote an artist latest work in generall so.. But I think she will do CDL but with a few more PQ songs in it. Ladies Night and Sparkle are probably going to make room for new songs instead.

All the classics will probably stay. Including Humming. But even though you're tired of seeing it on DVD I think you will enjoy it live. It's like Boys & Girls/evolution. Both of them I skip on DVD but I looove them when I'm there at the concert. ^_^ Same for Humming imo.

TeamAyu2004 · #**439** 26th February 2012, 02:03 PM

^ yes, the only problem with this time is that Ayu is using the last album theme to promote this album... X.X
I don;t know what she is planning but I hope it is good!

I know. I am ok with the fact she'll sing Boys & Girls/evolution as regardless of the fact that I do skip them on DVDs, I'd love to hear them live just for the sake of it. Humming on the other hand, while I am sure is as exciting live, I'd trade it for independent or AUDIENCE anytime =D
