Exactly. As i said before we just noticed some similarities by accident and thought it would be nice to post them here.

I think it's a great idea to get her inspiration from these musicals, specially Moulin Rouge, which is so glamorous, just as ayu.

@Raelian: WOW! Buen trabajo ;D! It seems that she's got more inspiration from it than we thought

[majrakun]

Haha, I love Moulin Rouge, so it's fine xD both are awesome so there's no problem in that <3

[prussian blue]

i found there's so much similiarity between ayu and cher
especially in AT06 and cher: farewell tour 2003

[Queen Bee]

This is all pretty cool! I'm surprised my sister hasn't pointed this out yet since she is a huge fan of Phantom of the Opera and Moulin Rouge.

At least there is a THEME to the concert..and not an aimless wan..

[Catzi]

I think ayu really likes the era. I mean, it is really awesome.

We did Moulin Rouge as the school musical of 2008 ...
And I did the grime. Wooow, this makes me soo happy.

[se7entheaven]

this year's AT is darker I think

[ayu_fantasy]

Perhaps she got some of the inspirations from there, but they are great! I'm glad that she got inspiration from Moulin Rouge coz it made her concert fantastic! Go Ayu!!

1) This isnt the 1st time she uses swings in her concert. refer to other concerts like arena tour 2002 and A museum.

2) ur thinking too much if u've watch all of ayu's concert u can see that she's been improving on her concerts costumes (sort of upgrading the costumes)

It's not that it's a swing, it's that it looks like ayu went out and bought the one used in Moulin Rouge They're identical. Then combined with the gold outfit and top hat, it's pretty similar.

You can't deny the INSPIRE outfit.. I mean, look at the head piece! It's the same.

Why do ayu fans get so defensive..?

U sure the swings and head piece is identical? did ayu get inspired from Chun-li in arena Tour 2001?... nvm don't wana talk more about this.
Well if there's ppl who think the concert is inspired from Moulin Rouge, there's gotta b ppl who thinks otherwise. And that's me...

I'm not being defensive. Defensive with what? I would be happy if ayu gets inspired from the movie. As u guys said, it's inspiration not copy. So why would we be defensive against inspirations? Inspirations is positive thinking. right?

[AyuHamasaki01]

Well, I don't see how the headpiece is identical... it's similair. Not identical.

We get defensive because we're her fans and we try our best to outright any unjust did to her. =)

And why are you so against her? Insisting tt she copied? XD

[AyuHamasaki01]

Be careful guys... Later you will say she copied Christian *points at evolution performed at Arena Tour 2002 and BEST of CDL*

[reixminako]

It's probably just 'cause AT 07 seemed to be a cabaret theme.

To quote myself on page one....

Read through the thread next time. Do you really think those ideas popped into her head from nowhere? Everybody gets ideas from somewhere, she clearly got a lot of her concert ideas from musicals. They're always so theatrical. Like the kiss o'kill performance was clearly a reference to Phantom of the Opera. Just the beginning alone, then the capes.

And yea, I'd call the INSPIRE head piece near identical.




What's so wrong about that?

Boo this wasn't even a copy thread. XD Now it has become one. D:
