COUNTDOWN LIVE 2012-2013 A ~WAKE UP~ information thread

[AyUmIXx]

well even though her age is already 34 years old, she still looks cute and young.
so many of my relatives and friends, when they came to my house..i switched on my computer, i randomly asked them, can u guess how old is the woman on my desktop's wallie?, they mostly answer, "hmmm 20s.." see? when i told them, this woman is already 34 years old! they can't believe how young she looks even in her 30s. and it's not liked she's acting cute all the time.

oh well,..

so no more IVY?? omg whyyyyyyyyyyy~~~~~~~~
i really hope tomorrow Ivy is back on the setlist, oh pleaseeeee...

[YUKARI]

today was soooo much better!!! Humming was awesome!!! Actually I didn't like it before, but it was so energetic today!!! I jumped like crazy also Until that day was great!! I enjoyed it sooo much today (cause unlike yesterday I was prepared).

I cried during Who finally.) I was all shaking.

And danced like crazy during all the upbeat songs. Also, I even enjoyed snowy kiss and missing, because it looked better from arena seat. and then Togethet when performance was soooo beautiful, breathtaking!! people were surprised again ^^

awww today was much better...

[spanishfan]

She looks really HAPPY in these photos. Of course the quality is bad, but I can see her smiling in almost all of them ^^

She's cute, what I can't stand is her cute voice xD
I preffer her to wear that outfit than Timmy, what I can totally see lol

[Mai82Go]

I also like cutesy Ayu because she can afford to act this way, she still looks 10 years younger. I have no complains!

By the way for the people who did go....I have a question, how much are the dancers involved? Is there a section where Ayu is pretty much alone on stage? And Timmy? Still there?

I wish she would get rid of those parts of her concerts, it's starting to look ridiculous. Except for SLT/STEP you on RnRC, that was really decent outfit.

and I am soooo done with those cornrows, she needs to go back to this:

This is going to be the first CDL that I'm going to watch since Future Classics, she finally looks like herself again and the setlist is good!

[kyo_arayuru]

Sorry but this setlist its boring, why ayu (or avex) deprive us of good performance, like Return road on this 2012 tour, that I expected it to be presented on this shows
I hope that more good songs on the final show at 31.
Come on Ayu, that can be arranged

[owlflight]

Still loving that setlist! Together When is probably one of my favorite songs that she has and Who is just amazing!

[AYUCREA]

no Ivy> < ??????
Hope Ivy will be performed last day............I want Sweet scar as well

[mizuki-7]

Western fans can't understand because it's not usual for us lol but look at Seiko Matsuda ... In these pictures she is already 45 years old or more ! And she is far to be the only exemple ...

Spoiler:

Personally I have no problem with that ! Japanese like cute things that's all !

hmm in Beautiful fighters there are 4 girls + ayu and 4 boys I think (or 5). so it's basically like 8-10 dancers and plus some back-dancers, I don't know their names.

dancers:

Kayanochi
Midori
2-3 girls
Zin
Kazuma
Subaru
Shu-ya
and 2 more boys I guess

something like this.

the band is always on the stage. btw Timmy is dancing in the encore part too lol

by the way, during encore ayu wore red shorts today (yesterday was black), she also had a red scrunchie. soo cute ^^ give me a tip how to wear this t-shirt

The outfits are ok. Ayu is a cutie!

do we know the reason behind the snub? i mean, IS there even a reason for it? i don't keep up with this stuff...

[Gustavopc]

Nice outfits, thanks God they're not tacky as the biggest part from HOTEL Love songs That gold dress with a black corset is my favorite

good example~~
thanks for sharing.

[ayu_ready?]

the outfits aren't anything interesting,actually
and no,I don't think I like her now acting childlish
I'd prefer powerful, sad, romantic or classy over that

her outfits haven't been nice since quite long ago, tbh

and that top+shorts outfit has been in too too much, duh

Thanks for the info!

@Bad Wolf
We're all thinking it might be, because she was scheduled to appear on MS but didn't make it because she couldn't get a flight from New York. Which was her managements fault really. But anyway, MS still holding a grudge is so immature, like Kindergarten.

[freedreamer]

Glad to see positive reviews!!! I think she looks absolutely great in the pictures haha..yea like really HAPPY I love the tracklist...hope ivy makes it back tomorrow.

And with SunshineSlayer talking abt Melody's PV having potential, I'm interested now

[AyuGAME]

I think she looks great on the pink outfit, you can't judge her from the picture...
if you see it with your own eyes, or from dvd...she always looks great
