Ok guys...

I just watched Duty+Microphone & Walk+Forgiveness, and OH GOD.

She looks ridiculously amazing... Dark hair + red lips... oh my
The stage is great too, nothing really fresh but it reminds me of RnRC tour which was perfect.

About her voice...
I was a bit worried when I heard the first video previews, but the "whole" thing in itself is far from being bad. I won't say it's amazing or really good like some of you said because it's definitely not.
But god what an improvement!!! Her voice is not as flat as it used to be, she can hit some notes I thought she wouldn't; at times I was surprised thinking she almost sounded like she was lipsynching (while she is definitely not) or like it already was processed a bit.
Her vocals are really powerful when needed, gentle when needed, she has much more control on them. Of course she is not hitting every notes and you can see she is still struggling when she is trying to hit high notes (I don't know the term...). But once again what an improvement... I'm quite impressed and I hope she will still work on it cause there is a lot of room for improvement. But I'm relieved she didn't just focus on aerials and visuals (I'm not fond of them at all) but also seriously worked on her vocals.

I don't know if it's the theme or else but it definitely gives me a RnRC vibe and I hope I will enjoy it as much! Hope the dancers/Timmy won't be overexposed and kill the amazingness.
It's been a long time I haven't been so excited by a new CDL/Tour. I'm glad everyone is excited too!

PS: too bad she is crying for the second part of Walk, I would have wanted to know how she would do for the orgasmic ending ("ikiteru yo"). I must say I doubt she can hit the notes without any help.
forgiveness new arrangements just destroy an awesome song...
Sorry for my awful english -_- and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
