That poster is dreadful. Please find a better graphic designer, avex.

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.

I just watched that concert the other day for the first time too - that aspect of it also surprised me a bit. It was very toned down and kind of personal, I guess more of what you would expect from a CDL? Instead of like a mini-ARENA TOUR.

Also, that's a cool poster but I feel like it could have been designed better

I fell in love with End of the World after watching it at CDL 2000-2001

About the poster:



The announcement and all the information we're getting for this CDL sure feels like the "last one".

I hadn't watched it in a while and the concert starts with the dancers just wandering around the stage, then ayu comes out in a tracksuit. I've become so used to her OTT performances that it was almost hard to believe it was her lol.

I am in love with this song also. I once dreamed I was at an Ayu Concert and this was opening song *_*

[Refix]

Gee... how creative those design and merchandize people.

[EndOfTheWorld]

Buying Ayu concert DVDs and Blu Rays brand new are just too expensive for me. Not even that poster is enough.
I also love CDL 00-01.
The teddy bear performance and outfit is so memorable to me.

Well, the CDL location will be closed for renovation..

ayu has had CDL in this location for so many years.. It may be the time to end an era

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I can't figure out if this is really the last CDL. I feel like if that's the case it'd be more explicit in the description.

Like I feel like they'd have used 最後 in there somehow. It reads to me that it's the end of 17 years in a row at Yoyogi specifically, as opposed to the end of CDL in general.

ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2016-2017 A 『Just the beginning -20-』flying rehearsal

Spoiler:

started from stretching


practicing strap flying










"How about these kind of things?" Ayu and performers were thinking about performance while discussing each other's opinions.
Performers trying to show an example, saying "It hurts!" "This is too hard"

Ayu's shoulder seem abit buff.

[EndOfTheWorld]

If this was Ayu's last Countdown, I think they would use that as a major advertising asset. They would probably put extra attention on the fact that it is the last one ever to create a lot of hype, attention, and media.
I'm sad that it is most likely the last one at Yoyogi but I am also looking forward to where she will do them in the future. Maybe it will be a fun change.

That's correct. Taking photos before the show, during encore and after the show is prohibited though.
