looks like i just need to forget about Criminal,Liar or Guilty,the japanese wouldnt vote for it,i guess :/

Maybe on the CDL...

But if this is an anniversary tour, she is more than right on performing hits and not obscure tracks...

[mizuki-7]

And if it just a japanese tour ! japanese fans are no obligation to satisfy western fans (like me) IMO even if I'm sad she never sings special songs who are not hits (it was, happy ending, liar, guilty, scar, immature, jewel, dolls, like a doll etc... etc...) :/

They don't know what's good even when it's right in front of them! lol

As an example, they LOVED Premium CDL, but they still vote for the most overplayed and overperformed songs ever, which ain't bad, but we really do need a change for once

And perhaps most of them forgot about those hidden jewels, they aren't as hardcore fans as we are

[mizuki-7]

^
Yes but Jewel was quite an hit 3x platinium chaku uta and platinium chaku ura full Rghhh I hope we will be a little surprised ^^ Of course we won't see the forgotten tracks but we can see songs like HANABI, Voyage, dearest she has not sing since 2008

[RealLight]

I'm REALLY curious to see how the setlist will look like, but as we know how ''unpredictable'' Ayu is up lately, I can see this:
songs from LOVE again + the ''basics'' (evolution, Boys & Girls, SURREAL) and a few other forgotten gems.

[polka-dot-jewel]

I wonder if the Japanese fans will actually vote for rarely/never performed songs. With polls before, it was just for summer songs or songs in general, and now that they're choosing songs for the tour, for the 15th anniversary tour... The fate of this tour is in their hands, they better do this right. Haha.

[mizuki-7]

For the PCDL wasn't it TA members who have choosen the setlist ? If it's the case this setlist was very good so don't be worried before the show start lol

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

I would die if ; Naturally, Next Level, And Then, Like a Doll, (miss)understood, Whatever and Sending Mail were on the setlist

[ayu-butterfly]

I hope we can vote in more than one song too. I don't quite understand things on TA, cause my Japanese is very poor, but I'll try to vote anyway. Got excited when I got the email this morning.

I think Ayu doesn't like to perform poker face bc of her grandmother. Idk, it's just my opinion.

[dannysan]

what if this is like her "BEST of CDL"? Live performances from her past tours with new "arrangements" Choreography, stage settings, outfits...
that would be, nice i think...

Well early during rehearsals for PCDL, she wrote on TA, "I see you all want me to perform older songs I've never performed before!" I don't remember TA voting for them, I think Ayu just chose those songs, but I could be wrong. Then again, she made the decision based on messages sent to her on TA (this was pre-Twitter days lol) so some of the songs could have been chosen from songs written in those messages. But I don't think it was a poll.

[Violently Happy]

Come on Japanese fans vote for No more words!!! That song is so rare when it comes to performances! I believe she only performed it once, and it was kind of ruined in the middle, because she did the Countdown with it...

[Didz-19]

anybody know where to buy the ticket? I live in south east asia...not sure how to book or buy the ticket. I can't even read japanese. I would love to go there and watch Ayu live for once~~

[SunshineSlayer]

Yay! I was hoping it would be an A Best tour! Lately I've been waiting to go to the Yokohama and Yoyogi shows since Saitama is a little far, but this year I think I will go to the first show so the setlist will be a complete mystery to me.

Yes, Ayu just chose the songs for PCDL. I hope she does that for this tour too since the fans always pick the same predictable songs.

I want No more words.

^This. And while people should vote for what they want, I really hope people won't vote for stuff that has either a) been performed millions of times or b) will be in the setlist regardless of if its voted for or not(new songs to promote a current product)

Are you seriously considering going? Because I am and I don't want to be alone...

[SunshineSlayer]

^ I live in Japan, so of course I will go to at least one of the shows. But yeah, for this concert I think I definitely want to go to the first date.

btw, I've had two experiences with fan chosen set lists - Last years Koda Kumi birthday live and Namie's Tokyo Dome show. I was really disappointed with the Koda show - it was like a 30 song setlist and like 25 were ballads! However, the Namie show, the fans actually voted in a pretty good mixture of different types of songs that spanned her career. Here's hoping that's what happens for Ayu's as well.

btw, isn't the voting going to have to be done pretty quickly? The setlist would kinda determine what kind of show its going to be I would think....
I remember I voted on the Namie setlist like back in July I think but the actual tour didn't start until end of November.

[MissElin_]

Yeah the Kuu voting went bad. Sooo many ballds it was crazy. Namies was greaaaaat! <3 I fear though that Ayu (before called avex' ballad queen?) also will have more ballads that up beat in her setlist. And a shitlot of the regular songs she always does on concerts. Given songs are the ones that ended up on the A Classical album.

I just balloted for the both Saitama shows and one Yokohama. I love going to the Saitama shows. They are great! And I love going to Ayu concerts without knowing the setlist. I've been doing that most of the times (most of them CDLives). ^__^

[SunshineSlayer]

^May will be a busy concert time! Ayu @ Yokohama, Gackt in Saitama, and Tanaka's grad from MM @ Budokan - all right around my b-day! Happy Birthday 2 me!

[JinHamasaki]

I'm gonna try to go end of April/ after Golden week in May... hmmmmm

[Didz-19]

I'm planning to go to JPN on 30th May, maybe attend her 1st June concert.

From Brunei-Kuala Lumpur.....then Kuala Lumpur-Narita....Narite - Kuala Lumpur....then Kuala Lumpur - Brunei....all of these cost me around 1K Bruneian Dollar!!!
