If there'd be any song I'd add it would be A Song for ×× "030213 Session #2".

At least A Song for ×× with new instrumentation and fresh vocals.

Love.

[terra]

For me...

Born to be...
she should change it to some parade or crowd theme in the stage. With flag dancers, marching band (wtf?), gold papers and baloons.
The flower idea is good but it would match more fairyland

STEP you/Ladies Night
It's great but...hmmm...guess it lacks of noise and surprise.

alterna
Great, but it seems too dark and the theme don't match well with the song and PV

is this LOVE?/(m)u
It's great. No change I guess, lack of video maybe?

Pride
Still don't like the outfit...but the dark theme seems match. Love her with some galmour and silky outfit like the PV.

rainy day
My fave. song but I don't like the simple and chic white dress, and the flower on her head. I love more dark dress or long rain coat with umbrella or 'lack of umbrella'???

Startin'/UNITE!/B&D
She should change it!!! Casual outfit and sporty dance things would be more match with startin' energic music. I love the crystal stage.

The last, why she put HEAVEN on encore, it would be very nice f she put it in the main show.....
after think of it...seems there's no space for HEAVEN in the main show anyway. (after rainy day?? nah!!!)

[Yarumi]

I have only seen the first disk... and when the intro came I thought it was awesome! I wouldn't change anything about it!

Then scene 2 with step you and ladies night... it was... disappointing and I have NEVER thought anything Ayu did was disappointing (concert wise) The beginning video was cute at first... but then it became boring... She lip-sang for both performances and did really nothing... I did like the chains concept when they girls were transfered at the end of step you... but I thought maybe the whole performance should have ended with an impact like that...

alertna, was pretty cool, but it still seemed like she was lip singing... I loved the alterna ball, just not a very impactful part of the show... just a cool one

is this LOVE and m(u)... I was SOOO looking forward to this! She did great! I love when she belts out powerful songs like these... she seemed to be getting into m(u) in the end... I think it was kinda staged though, I wish it would have been more real... like her heartplace performance... I think she could transform m(u) into a POWERFUL performance if she would have the emotion she did in the heartplace one... I have always loved heartplace BECAUSE of that performance... But i have always love m(u)... possibly my fav of the album

Pride... outfit kinda ruined it... good singing... a ballad so not much can be done here

rainy day... love this song... loved the concept... it was really pretty

starting/unite/B&D- the first 2 songs were great!!!!!!!!! I remember someone saying B&D was the climax of the show but for some reason it didn't have as much energy to me as unite did... I LOVE the outfit... I thought the red wig looked cute... I just expected more out of the climax of the concert...

Overall I think it was a good show, but nowhere near as good a AT05 production wise... she lip sung alot and that kinda took away from it for me... But her intro was the best of all her concerts... I LOVED the intro and mostly her rock songs!

I'll critique the encore when I get time to watch it (I'm dying to...)

[alt.total-loser]

Well. I would have changed the outfit for Pride. The dress made her body look too long.

[[taskin.ayu]]

I didn't mind the Pride outfit, but then again, it's waist line is too low. :/

[darc_aqua]

true, i thought it made her look kinda weird but i thought that her rainy day dress was really nice. i guess they didnt wanna use a big traditional dress or it might resemble Moments.

[DA1SUK1DAY01691]

Yeah, that B&D wig... hmm. not so bold and delicious. lol. but i'm getting used to it...

I think that's the only thing i'd really wanna change. that and the lighting (especially BTB..., she could have used the dramtic lighting like the PV).

BUT

I give her credit for envisioning all this. It must be SUPER hard work, so I give her the props she deserves, and wishes that she'll top AT05 and CDL05-06 with something EVEN BETTER next year.

[truehappiness]

I imagine that the lighting was sacrificed in order to use those screens..

It's one or the other, really. [you know, like how CDL had crazy intense lightshows.. x.x]

[Dustie]

To me, the whole thing kinda looked more like a CDL than an Arena Tour... During AT2005 they had this beautiful scenography which gave the stage a theater feel, like it was a play or something. In this one, they placed screens instead of scenography, which is probably way less of a struggle when putting the stage together and moving it from venue to venue, but isn't all that impressive, especially if it's just the screen and nothing else...

[truehappiness]

Perhaps AT07 will have a combination of both?

AT06 utilized these as a new technology, and probably spent quite a bit on using as many as they did..

[Dustie]

I was expecting AT06 to have both, after I saw the amateur camera videos. I think they could have at least display images to make up the scenography, instead of only random animations/videos...

The scenography in AT2005 really impressed me, that's probably why I look at all other tours (even the older ones) through this prespective.

[truehappiness]

I think that with AT05, there were set ideas in Ayu's head.. of where each song would go and how they would play out..

Perhaps it was "all planned from the start". Whereas for AT06, she sort of changed things as she went by..

I mean she DID start with a song called.. HAPPY ENDING. :3

I do hope that she uses the stage more in the next tour though.. In combination with the screens maybe?

[I'm guessing that the screens + that rain thing cost a ton.. >3<]

[darc_aqua]

In a way i felt that AT06 was more spontaneous in a way and very modern. AT05 was very well thought and prepared and had a classy and "pink" touch to it with the environment and costumes. After watching AT06, I dont think i want to change anything about it. i thought it was really really cool.

[walt1112]

i think at 06 is dfntly ayu's best tour ever. may be it's not as grand as dt01 or st02, but compare all the settings and the effects with the previous ones...at 06 surely topped!

[Ayappe]

I saw it today... I think that the AT06 is wonderful.. she improved her voice, and she jump and run during all the concert! >.< I didn't like the Startin'/UNITE!/Bold & Delicious part.. I don't like her with tht dress and that red hair.. X°°°D

[immel]

One thing.

I would not have edited the voice to crap in STEP you and Ladies Night.

It was so much better being there.

I would also change it so that the flower thing would be velvet but instead of being inside it, she will be sitting on it. XD (chair thing in the middle) and she will be lounging all over it. XDD Also maybe a fairy outfit?

Personally I loathed the red dress and the flower. She was eaten by the dress, lol. The suggestion is very good, but reminds me a bit of Forgiveness cover a bit : )
AUDIENCE is one of my favorite songs, so I'm happy with that.

02. STEP you / Ladies Night
nothing I would change. Maybe some explosion after the bridge of Ladies Night.

The intros were alright, and the only thing that stood out for these two songs were the effects with the chains

03. alterna
Better lighting? I know it's meant to be all underwater but some explosions and flashy lighting can't hurt. XD

It was too red for my eyes.
I agree, the lighting could have made it more phenomenal, but I'm pretty much satisfied with Alterna.

04. is this LOVE? / (miss)understood
Dunnoo.. the outfit? XD

The outfit was....too normal for Ayu's tastes.

05. tasking / Pride / Rainy Day
Maybe an intro video fo tasking? Like her in the puffy arms outfit walking down some corridor. XD

I have no complaints on this part.

06. Startin' / UNITE! / Bold & Delicious
OooO the most hated section. >D GET RID OF THE WIG!
Maybe she should also change the whole outfit. O_o Maybe some 1920's inspired outfit? Also she should have brought back the nuns. =p

Oh, the nuns rocked the show. I can't put in words how much better the ATO5 B&D performance was better than AT06 B&D.
Seriously, off with the red wig! Ayu does not look good in it!!



Overall, I think Ayu's performance was very nice and entertaining. She also sang very well.
AT05 was just as, maybe even better, than AT06. What may seem lacking in one tour is compensated by the other.

[Aisha_Angel]

I LOVE all the costume designs I just wish thay'd have been in different colors other than Ayus: Red, Black, Silver, Gold and White. Pride's performance would've looked pretty in a purple-ish color.

The only costume I didn't like is Born To Be's...It's TOO much red. You can barely tell the difference between ayu and the flower. Maybe if her dress would've been yellow or the flower could've been another color. Anything but red...I hope this year Ayu goes with something different like Blue+Gold or maybe Green+Black...There are so many other colors in the world; but most likely judging by the cover Secret she'll probably use more silver, black and white.

[immel]

I believe the colors connected to (miss)understood was mainly red, MY STORY was a lot more pink.

Looking at the current design of Ayu's page it seems like we can expect something very dark, dark secrets and dark red, for the coming tour.
