[News] ayumi hamasaki LIVE TOUR -TROUBLE- 2018-2019 A

[Zeke.]

I can’t tell you how happy I was to hear The Show Must Go On. For a second I thought she was gonna end the show with Boys & Girls and I was already getting dissapointed thinking of the possibility I wouldn’t hear TSMGO after all. But te song ended and I though “ok if there’s ever a time, it’s now” and that ‘boom’ of TSMGO intro began and I shouted “YEEEAAHH!” and immediately began jumping up and down. I felt the tingling sensation of a rush of endorphins ooze from and blanket my brain and I was overcome with so much joy and energy. The BIGGEST smile on my face the whole time! Totally worth it just to experience that song live at least once!!

Overall though the setlist was full of mediocre / disliked tracks for me. If TSMGO wasn’t there I would’ve considered it a waste. I danced nonstop the majority of the concert, but when Survivor began I got so pissed, lol. It’s the one track I completely wiped from my hard drives and memory of existence. I was so mad I paid money to be served that, lol.

Songs I’m glad I heard:
1 LOVE
Last angel
Lelio
NOW & 4EVA
The Show Must Go On
MY ALL

And that’s being lenient. If I narrowed it down further to tracks I only consider a 10, it’s be 1 LOVE, Lelio, and The Show Must Go On

However, it was really special for me that she ended with MY ALL because it was the song she ended my first concert tour I attended in 2008 with, the song she ended my return to Japan last year with, and now ending the last concert of hers I’ll attend before leaving the country. So in my mind she thanked me for coming to see er in 2008, welcomed me back in 2017, and sent me off in 2018 all with that song.

The stage setup was way better than anything she’s done in the past year of touring. It was more flashy. But as far as satisfaction with the song choices and experience, I’d rank the tours I attended since coming back to Japan last year as such:

1. jtb 2
2. jtb 3
3. TROUBLE
4. PoM

Hey, I just saw the Ayu money picture on the first page. Was it thrown out during a song/ which one?
