ayumi hamasaki 『Just the beginning -20- TOUR 2017』~II~

[RealLight]

Did she use her cutesy voice at any moment?

[TheRainbow]

Not WARNING again. :/

[xLuna&1LOVE]

So far, so good it seems. The only thing I am not utterly fond of are the costumes. The showgirl one is the worst, it does not flatter her.

Even though I don't like the new version of ourselves, the opening looks great! Can't wait to see it in HQ

This is a really cool shot when dancers enter with roses

Thank you for everyone who had posted pictures, links to videos/audios, and reviews of the concert!

While I'm not particularly happy about the setlist, I'm grateful than I'm not upset about it. Nonetheless, I do think she needs to sing other songs for multiple reasons, with the main contender being:

01 WARNING (three consecutive years already!)
02 NEVER EVER (I haven't heard about the arrangement this year, but if it's anything like PREMIUM SHOWCASE, then it's dull)
03 Virgin Road (while I love the song, I'd much prefer something else, like maybe Return Fucking Road? You know, to make up for 2012?)
04 my name's WOMEN (I like this one, but I'm bored with it--always the same performance anyway)
05 Voyage (I don't know, she? sounds like she's struggling?? a lot???? singing this)
06 Movin' on without you (See above)
07 SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL (Jesus Take The Wheel And Let SURREAL Have Her Day) (or not, she sounds terrible singing it anyway)

Thank you!
I can't with her keep recycling shit these days. Even costumes, like seriously. Her day offs are spent shopping for the latest fashion and she can't even be bothered to change her stage outfits. And all the same songs, same performance.

this. I'm very sad about this.

[alternarist]

It's interesting to see that this tour has a total of 6 different costumes only. slightly underwhelming.

but since we have 59 more shows to go, things are bound to be changed. and probably, the last few shows are gonna be amped up..

JUST THE BEGINNING TOUR FINAL ~7 days Special~

Timmy's nipples look like in heart shape.

Unless he's had reconstructive surgery, I'd say they're pasties.

[hud]

omg what a short and boring setlist... I'm kind of disappointed.

she sounds good on ourselves though. and the outfits are cute.

[Next_Level29]

i actually dont mind being it nothing special. i mean, its her 2017 tour. im hoping that the AT gets some forward-looking changes. up to now, it is nothing special. im just hoping that the setlist differs from the day she will celebrate her 20th anniversary.
and maybe the setlist is so short because she will perform mostly in halls and cannot do such outstanding and enourmos performances. maybe. maybe not. ayu knows

[~angel*ayumi~]

You also need to keep in mind that she will switch to halls in next chapter.
A show like Asia Tour 2008 with that big ship and such things is sure not possible in halls.

[//ABEST]

does she sell out venues nowadays?

i'm bored with this tour already but i knew this was coming so i didn't expect anything from her anymore. it feels like she gave up

TBH sometimes I feel it, like she's just doing it for the sake of doing it. Like, ok let's pick this song, this same performance, same outfit. Easy breezy.

yeah, now when she's grown up woman there's no more surprises and interesting ideas that's sad

I'm not sure if I can even differ all these past tours while I totally remember how it used to be diverse back in 00s.

[Nu-NRG]

Cool thanks for the tips everyone hopefully I can find something even if is a bad seat.

[KillTime111]

Was glad to hear some of the older songs being amongst the setlist, not very many newer songs it looks like. It does seem like a shorter concert than her usual. Looking forward to seeing more.

[ayumisrael]

Omg Walk!!! I really hope she would keep Walk for the 2nd chapter or else....
I really hope she will keep it.
