[Official Message] ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2016-2017 A

I'm sure center stage shows are fun in person, but I don't think they're as much fun to watch on DVD. I liked Power of Music the first time 'cause of the new arrangements but as much as I love the songs, it's not as entertaining to watch time and time again I want a stage like Tour of Secret or her (miss)understood tour

My favourite stages are AT09, AT08 (, PCDL8-9) and AT10 ~7 days~. GOD! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE ONE OF THOSE STAGES AGAIN!

[AyuCanada]

My favorites stages were CDM and HLS ... but... I don't want to see CDM stage anymore... since MIJ was really similar. PSC had also a good stage... I read someone liked tour of secret... The tour was cool... but the stage was barely a giant screen in my memories.

[ayumint]

AT05, AT07, AT10, AT12, AT13, AT15, AT16 gave me a same vibe red x gold x black with circus-esque, and it was so boring... haha also when she brings show from previous concerts into those mentioned ATs...i can feel those who stopped attending her concerts.
I really loved how AT06, AT09, PSC14 and all center stages ruined those repetitive concept
(im talking about stage's design, not the show tho)

I love the stairs on AT09!
I think center stage are a good change, I wouldn't mind one for this CDL. That Wake me up performance when she appeared in a drope-shaped cage thingy was just too amazing!

Do you think we can expect a few new songs? It was so amazing to discover Party queen and HBYA during a live!

I'm pretty certain it means a longer set list. There would be no reason that the other dates need to get moved earlier because they already start a lot earlier.

I said right when they announced the title that it sounded like this was going to be a Premium Countdown live and with the huge amount of songs to chose from at the TA tour that changed from date to date, there is already an epic length set list that is ready to go.

Oh yes that really was amazing! Makes me think again of how cool it was to be able to see the CDL via internet. It's a shame they don't do it again. ;_;

===========================================


All songs that they rehearsed that day were hit songs that everyone knows. And one of them was UNITE!

[truehappiness]

I wonder if we'll have cornrows Ayu for this CDL again. Very A MUSEUM.

[Aderianu]

I hated them at CDL 2004-2005

[Chris85]

This documentary is too short. LOL

Even KOKIA did concerts in Paris, 10 years ago. Also I see lots of unknown (to me) Jpop and Jrock bands performing in Europe. And they always manage to sell out (small/medium venues).

Ayu could do a sort of Europe TA Tour and sell out easily.

I am not sure where you live however, from Serbia, depending on the time of year and how many months in advance I purchase tickets, I can fly via Moscow, Frankfurt or Abu Dhabi for 440 EUR. Not so bad~

Wonder if they will release a bunch of 30secs "documentaries" till the day of CDL. I want a full one!!

[EndOfTheWorld]

I felt cheated by the 30 second documentary too. I feel like there will be a full one eventually since it looks like this might be a big Countdown Live.

I hope so. I love watching long documentaries more than actual concerts.

^It's cute, nothing worth getting excited about though.

On a side note I'm watching CDL00-01 and its really interesting, there's very little theatrics and Ayu doesn't really do much besides sing and walk around the stage. So different to the current concerts where everything is theatrical and showcased.
