ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~ setlist and pictures [I]

[aura~]

poor shu-ya...

and.. not enough?? i don't understand those japanese XD 20 songs! Int he past years have been less... and this tour most of them are new (NEXT LEVEL) or have been sung 1 time before (green/days and PCDL songs) only 4 songs are repeated...

well... we'll see..

[Yoake]

omg I love the stage!!!
Ayu is so kawaii

I hope we'll have more pics soon

[aura~]

^ well.. but MY ALL compared to UNITE, AUDIENCE; B&G and evolution is new... MY ALL has ben sung 3 times (2 CDL and 1 tour, and now this year..) the other four.. is like... XD since they were created... XD

[Megshere]

Yay for a pic of Ayu. I love the A symbol on the merch, looks really cool. I gotta remember to buy a shirt. She looks good, but whoever said that she slimmed down... I still can't wait for costumes. That is what I always worry about, cause sometimes it's just OMG amazing and sometimes its really bad. And does it say that she cried like during Rule cause she messed up or what? Anyways, I hope Rule really is like the opener cause t2m was a hot one and it starts it off great.

ayu looks so cute! oh i was thinking what kind of a pant that was XD

[Evolution7/4]

Well this is different from Ayu's other concerts, its the first where all tracks including interludes are used!!!!!!!! Also, the fans who actually see this concert but couldn't see PCDL actually live will enjoy that she is eprforming these fan requested songs on the tour. i'm in love with the setlist! next level's songs and interludes are amazing, so glad none are left out.

Why oh why is there always so much complaining.

This looks like it'll be an awesome tour! Thanks for posting all info!

[AyUta]

Nice! Thanks for posting

[SunshineSlayer]

Info is still spotty, but I've read the following enough times that they should be true:

She cried during Days.

There were no signed balls or pieces of tape (the streamers that get shot out over the audience). One of the only times she did not sign anything for the audience?

I've seen a number of people describe the stage/set as "simple." Or not "Next Level" enough.

omg i love the outfits, but that one with the purple jacket and that hair....X_X

but the black leather outfit is <3<3<3!!! LOVE IT!!!
lol the cheerleader outfit is cute <3

edit: >_> can't believe i missed that big white dress T_T....another mermaid like dress

[truehappiness]

...oh my lord.

[SunshineSlayer]

Overall not bad costume wise.

But its as I suspected - it seems the PCDL performances are completely recycled even down to the outfits. In fact even the non PCDL outfits seem recycled from past performances actually except for maybe the cheerleader one.

I'm not going to get my hopes up for the cheerleader section to be live...

That section's probably live. I'm worried about the pre-Bridge to the sky section. How is the vocoder-ness gonna work? Oi.

Is it just me or is her hair de-evolving? It's like, concert tour 2000 all over again in the encore.

^^ Her eyes in the purple outfit look like she is going to kill someone.

I actually think it looks cute there. But it is something that is more "old Ayu" I think.

But man, these costumes. They aren't bad (I like most of them, but I also liked most of PCDL too...) and I know she has recycled costumes before...ALL of these though have been on previous tours or CDLs. Many of them just at the PCDL. Just shows once again that imo not enough time/effort went into anything post PCDL. I just can't help getting the impression since then that more often than not she has just taken whatever was the quickest/easiest way. It's hard to blame her for that though. But still, it doesn't mean I have to like it either.

I haven't come across any report from someone that was there that seemed like they were really blown away or anything yet - I'm still looking.

[rookies]

The outfits, OMG, they are so good!!

HAHAHA WTF IS GOING ON WITH THAT WIG

There's some really nice outfits,but some of the outfits are weird,like the cheerleader one.

[aloopy]

this tour looks so cheap compared to her other tours. it's like PCDL all over again. and no special effects?

the wig is a big no no for me (much better than last year wigs but she looks better without) but i love that outfit with it. the pink glitter jacket. it was my fav outfit from PCDL too.

the silver outfit with the hat... RAINBOW/glitter @ CDL 07-08 anyone?

That big dress.. looks like POWDER SNOW @ PCDL.. and the other dress too only this time it's pink.


But i'm kind of glad she does a simple tour this year. i find myself to enjoy those more. like stadium tour 2002.

i don't mind the recycled outfits but i'm still kind of upset she did In The Corner and HorP. i hope she changes them to other songs during other shows.

but overall it looks reat
