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

[truehappiness]

Basically, any kind of 'gown' is an Ayu staple. Mostly I'd like to see her try new things. STEP you with my name's WOMEN has gotten stale over the years and some stuff like the WARNING performances are being done... a bit too often.

[BlackSilence]

i'm wondering, what's going on with her stage costumes lately.

I think she has used black wedding gown back in Hotel Love Songs Tour for return road performance. Such a shame it didn't make the cut for the dvd

Still sad about that, I really wanted to see that performance, and yeah the dress was kinda like what I have on mind, but it had that weird led flashing heart in the chest idk it worked somehow but I feel a more "simple" dress but in black would be gorgeous! something like the dress she used during M/No way to say at the A Best Live 15th

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I mean wedding dress with long train held by dancers.

Personally I don't see how a different colored wedding dress is any more obvious than a white one? Lol. And for the reason of being different and new, I still think it'd be a fun change.

And actually by pink I was envisioning Gwen Stefani's wedding dress.

Spoiler:

Otherwise she's doing the same performance with a different white wedding dress. Changing the color isn't innovative or anything, but it's at least a change.

[EndOfTheWorld]

I think the wedding dress tradition would be easily refreshed just by switching the type of wedding dress up. There are so many different styles of bridal gowns. Ayu mostly always wears a ballroom/princess type of gown. Maybe if she tried a form fitting mermaid style it would feel fresher with a different look. But the miles long train might not be possible then.

[Refix]

The gown with LED works for me if it like that You were... PV gown. It was hype last year by Zac Posen and Marchesa at gala, don't know why Ayu didn't bring it back again.

Her wet short hair reminds me of her A-Nation 07 performances:

Did she sort of had that gown on her 10th anniversary tour? And yeah, i love her gown during Carols and momentum for cdl 13-14.

[truehappiness]

I think she mostly needs to find new places to get inspiration from. She can only do so much with "Vegas"-type shows before it starts seeming like regurgitation.

[ExodusUK]

Its a shame she didn't make more use of the striking Return Road PV dress. Instead she had "this" for the live performances..


Almost forgot Ayu was Kylie Jenner before Kylie Jenner! ��

These are the only two times that come to my memory.

Spoiler:

I think Ayu has worn just about every style of dress at least once over the last 20 years.
But she seems to favor the big puffy ballgowns for tours.

[Aderianu]

If I remember right, ayu didn't wear dress at her wedding with Mannie. They did it with casual clothes.

[truehappiness]

She has always said I think that she was never big on gowns in her real life. At most she seems to wear cocktail dresses to events and such.

I wouldn't mind her doing some medley of Virgin Road - M (lol, that looks so weird, like Virgin Road - "M" rated, whatever "m" would stand for xD)with bigass white dress. Maybe it could be even Virgin Road - M - Return Road where for RR the dress would be removed of the outer white layer and go black or the other way around, still seems spectacular.

[EndOfTheWorld]

I still am smitten over this dress Ayu wore a long time ago.
I'm still obsessed with this look. For me personally, it is one of Ayu's greatest looks.

Spoiler:

[pedronekoi]

I love all the dresses she wore during JEWEL lives. <3 Even this one (lol):



I wish she would wear more fit to body dresses like this:

[relmy]

Guess that's the problem when you've worn everything, there's only so many clothes hah.

It's not like she looks bad, or that I dislike her tours, it's just enjoying it, but knowing what you're getting and what to expect. Just harder to shock people nowadays without being completely ridiculous or gimmicky.

Weird how you can get used to/bored of things being big and flashy, the TA tour was really refreshing and fun because it was simple. Wonder if her doing halls will feel the same.

i loved the whole idea of this one, and the fit works so perfect with her body. The dress was absolutely gorgeous.

She have had some really gorgeous music video outfits, i wonder why isn't she using those instead? Like the LED dress from "You were..."i don't think that one ever made an appearance in any shape or form...?

she's been having a lot of the "show girl" stuff on her, it's getting a little boring because most of the big popstars are doing those nowadays.

Alright!
Just married
Funny how I got married on the day I joined AHS XD

Also, I'd like Ayu to wear an entirely black wedding dress/gown and sing some dramatic sounding/dark songs.
But I know, that's not just me!

@arrtcika: She wore an LED dress for Return Road during AT12 but after the performance got replaced with kiss o' kill, she wore a warrior princess like outfit and only kept the LED heart.
