I guess that must be it. I had no issues with it back in 2018 when I ordered TROUBLE

Yes I really miss Yoshio and the band

both broadcast version show how hurt she was in that one minute..

I hope they include it as is.

it's astounding to see her keep performing despite such a shocking and certainly painful fall. she handled it really well by sticking in place until the bridge(?) of the song came up. such a consummate professional.

[Sky High]

So happy for this release

The YouTube preview looks amazing! With all the concerts up on YouTube thanks to corona virus some performances and visuals started to blend together. But this just looks incredible!

[Katsuyuki012]

Here we can see more of Song 4 u itself, as well as Fly High, Happening Here and evolution.


Love the shot at 00:34. This is definitely one of my favourite CDLs!

I think it would be cool if they put up a curated setlist of her future concerts on YouTube for a few days as promotion.

[Katsuyuki012]

There will be two digests, one with commentary by ayu and her dancers and one without. They'll premiere in a few hours but here are the links, just in case any of you would like to set a reminder.

With commentary:


Without:

For MIJ/MIT they also did 2CDs. Each live album had 11 songs, so maybe the first CD will have songs from CDL19-20 and the second could have polished audio from TROUBLE Tour 2020. That is, if they recorded the audio. It could also end up being Promised Land's main show and encore.

[Katsuyuki012]

They showed ayu's fall! They included an audience reaction and you could see ayu shake her head when she tried to get up. When she finally did manage to get up they also showed that, how she stumbled and how she made a painful expression afterwards. Great choice imo.

[Evolution7/4]

Looks like they kept the fall in! Even had an audience reaction moment lol

[Katsuyuki012]

I'm really curious to know what ayu said! The DVD seems to be great, I can't wait for it! Obviously, her energy was lower there (especially towards the end) but we all know why and I still think it's a great concert.

[Chris_Duvall]

I‘m glad they even included the fan reaction. Great choice - and Ayu handled it really well!

[Katsuyuki012]

Actually showing her in pain really added to the performance, it makes it so raw. Plus we know it pretty much affected the rest of the show, especially during the encore so hiding it wouldn't be the best idea, I guess (and there isn't that much they could work with to make it look good). She's so strong.

I love this version of WARNING!

[Deep snow]

omg. not only did they include the fall scene, but they also zoom in on her face during the whole ordeal and the shocked reactions from dancers and some audience members. RIVETING CINEMA MY HEART

[Chris85]

The arrangements and the choir are so good, but can barely stand that recurring cutesy voice and how she changes her voice to a very unnatural and uptight sounding one whenever she screams or singing something like "yeeeah!". I wish she just used her real voice. After that idol days video can't help noticing how fake her voice often is.

[maxikot]

Everything seems perfect, the editing, angles. And snowy kiss is breathtaking, I am so glad they showed her struggle with getting up and back on stage. It amplifies the performance so much.

[adrtwb]

I hope there will be a translated version! I want to know what ayu said :p

[ulfy01]

That was soooo good to watch. I'm bribing my wife to translate the whole thing tomorrow for me.
