ayumi hamasaki 15th Anniversary TOUR ～A BEST LIVE～ III

[Mirrorcle Monster]

The outfits are pretty meh... And there is no water in the pool or what?

[terra]

Finally costumes!! Yayness
I love most of them but I love the colorful jacket (probably for You & Me), the white gown (ofc!), the suit dress (really reminds me of SNSD's PAPARAZZI lol) and her SAKURA gown.

^Yeah no water there plus the photos take showing her looking so silly


The dress looks like a bathing suit, I can't imagine singing a ballad like JEWEL and HEAVEN in such dress tho I can imagine her performing HANABI in it

It could be, but I though AT12 was already toned down like AT09 I can only hope she saves the best for the last

Kinda agree with you, avex seems becomes cheaper and cheaper especially for ayu since she had those grandiose props back in the past. But I thought Kuu's tour was a bit lavish this year but maybe because she just had a year hiatus and a small tour for Dejavu in 2011.

So to conclude, the long pink jacket is poker face - school girl is Fly high and HONEY - White dress is M and No way to say - Colorful jacket is You & Me and BLUE BIRD - Bathing suit dress/Swing dress is JEWEL, HEAVEN and SAKURA - Red costume is Wake me up and Tell all - The suit dress is SURREAL, evolution and Voyage. Where's the costume for Asfxx and Memorial address then?

^Where is the water?
I cant really see it
is it a empty glass pool??

[terra]

^Seems like an empty glass pool to me

[brener]

'-'
i dont see any evidence that avex is poor now... AT12 was pretty fancy

this is the performance of only one setlist, there are 60 songs to be performed, surely she will wear new costumes... and i know ayu will make it huge in yoyogi

The waves show up looking the same from the front as they do on the sides, so I'd say paint, not water. Then again, her getting wet between quick changing clothes wouldn't make sense either, so they should have just planned a different scene altogether.

Yeah, this concert was lacking in the glitz area. There were no explosions or fire either which I think is a first?

Btw, there was clearly water. It's just not very deep.

The AHSer's that went to the concert said she was "splashing around" and what not(I think it was in MissElin's review), so there must have been water in the pool. And not all of her was wet, she could quickly dry off in time for the next segment

[njanjayrp]

I think the costumes are better than the ones she wore last year.

[terra]

^ I think so too, this year's got really varied

So there's water in the pool : O I can't see it from the picture

[brener]

in the bottom of it...

[terra]

That blue swirly thing? It looked like a layer or something

[alternarist]

i like the costumes from those small pics.. perhaps need a larger pic and we are bound to receive costume changes by the last concert. yay!

There is like 10 cm of water on the pool and for Heaven, Ayu is throwing water everywhere ! And Ayu is quite wet actually, at least the legs and maybe the hair too as she threw water on the air around and on her

The costume for A song for XX and Memorial Adress made me think about the one of the opening of Asia Tour 2008

I like all the outifts for this concert. I'm glad to see Ayu with glasses for the cute performance. & She has a nice hair colour.

& for people who are complaining about the budget of the concert. You don't need to spend a lot of money to create a great concert. Sometime simplicity is better than complexity. Look at PoM tour, low budget but Excellent concert!

[brener]

the tour, the setlist, the costumes, the whole thing... it will improve as the dates goes by... hopefully we'll have a huge concert to be recorded on the last date =)

[title156]

I love her hair style and color. She looks young again. ♥

I agree. And I would even say, before the last dates of PoM which were really different from the previous concerts, it was even better, with just a couple of costume changes and no props etc
