This version of Return Road is truly amazing. I love the extended intro and the bridge, and Ayu sounds really good, too!

[~angel*ayumi~]

ah now I know what you mean xD

[Chris85]

Do you think they filmed the very first show to have more time for editing or to capture Ayu's emotions after such a long break?

[Katsuyuki012]

^I think the emotions definitely played a part in that choice. I was also wondering if they filmed all shows and then decided to use the one that was the best in their eyes.

@junshen Were there cameras filming the show on the 27th, too?

Yes. There are camera on the last show as well.
But ayu is smiling all the time toward end of “today”
Probably they decided to use the first day video. More emotional than the rest.

Today background video is also slightly different than first day.
There were both showing ayu angle and lyrics in the same
Time.

That's interesting! Thank you so much.

ジェットコースターブロックと呼んでいました。気持ちのアップダウンが激しく、隅々まで大胆に且つ丁寧に伝 えないと、ともすればただのまとまりのない三曲になってしまうので。

実はこのブロックの照明とカメラワークが1番難しく、本番ギリギリまで苦戦していたのですが、スタッフチー ムが力量大爆発させて下さり本番はさすがの一言でした👏✨✨

何故この繋がりになっているのか、真のメッセージは何なのか、全員の渾身のパフォーマンスから是非考察して みて下さい🧠

壮大で美しすぎて胸がギュッとなる、刹那の極みが詰まったブロック。

ゲネプロの日、私がちょうど会場に入ったらゴリちゃんが照明チームや映像チームとこの場面の最終調整をして いて、あまりの綺麗さに思わず「うわっ」て声が出たのを覚えています。

Concert is amazing, so many rare gems

[M.A.X.]

I just rewatch the concert and for me (miss)understood is live OR it sounds live to me and it's the most important thing; But I'm pretty sur Return road & Haru yo koi are lypsynched because it sounds reaalllly clean and Voyage after sounds more natural with more breath, vibrato, and some off-key moment. Talking about Haru yo koi, if it was lypsynced this is extremely well done.

When she falls down to the ground during the last part of (miss), her voice even fails and we can her they raised up choir vocals to cover it up.

Spoiler:

while I admit that lip-syncing is not off the table, I do think that she didn't do it this time for reasons that summerain has explained. I was convinced of this since the beginning—her voice shook and went off key at the first few lines of 23rd Monster.

as for some songs that sound too clean, I think she just nailed it the Dreamed a Dream performance from a-nation 2020 also sounds like this to me. it has almost no vocal slip-up. since then I was just convinced that ayu is just a dependably capable vocalist when her voice is not overworked.

of course the alternative is that, like summerain said, they patch together the vocals from all three shows to assemble the best sounding performance

we've had such great-looking photos from this show and I hope one of them becomes the DVD cover

[maxikot]

Awesome news! I'm so happy we're getting it in great quality.

[!Lawi!]

Please make it a double release paired with an album!

[AJFmzk]

Imagine if they make it a TA only release…

先ほど、23時59分をもって配信LIVE終了いたしました。

わたしがステージを創り続ける理由は、誰かの上に立つ人間になりたいからではなく、誰かの下に立つ人間にな りたいからでもなく、

ただひとつ、もしも叶うなら、誰かにとっての、何かにとっての、暗闇を照らすほんの少しの光になれたら。そ れに尽きます。

たとえ自己満に聴こえたとしても。

そうしてまた、ステージを創ります。

Haha that's so true. And yes, a discount for ticket purchasers would be nice...but I wouldn't count on it. Theoretically TA is the only group to see the show so it makes sense to do a general release, but they don't seem to do what we think they're going to do so you never know. I wonder if there will be a TA special version or bonus (besides another Tshirt and fancy cardboard box)

[chocopockymaster]

Maybe we’ll get Life back for the physical release? :’)
