IMO, Memorial address was pretty much full except for the final two lines or w/e. :p

And JEWEL.. I wonder if the footage was unable to be salvaged. XD [The quality was pretty bad o_o~~]

Oh yeah, and as for vocals.. I'm sure someone that went to go see her live can judge whether or not she sounded that good at the concert..

I'm pretty sure she probably did.. it looked like she practiced a hell of a lot for this tour O_O~

How about momentum?

I'm glad to hear Mem A was almost fully on it, though. I wonder why they cut the last 2 lines off. I wish someone could rip that one. ;;

Probably because Disc 2 is the only one up on SHARE so far.

I could rip it, but someone else would have to cut out just that part because it's like 30 minutes of the documentary.

I wonder if there will be avi rips of the whole 1st and 2nd DVDs don't really mind if the lives and docus are combined as they normally are =P (only lives combined and only docus avis combined could be great as well lol). Gah so want them T_T.

I agree. The quality of that JEWEL performance was awful! I almost thought it was fan-recorded for a second. ^^; The performance was cute and she sounded good, but that quality gave me a tiny headache. XD

I love the behind-the-scenes footage! After I started watching it, I didn't even care the footage was in-between some of the songs. It's really fun to see how this was all put together.

And I looooved the part where they were in China (or Hong Kong, one of those two) when A BEST 2 came out, and they interviewed those two girls... "AYU, I LOVE YOU FOREVER!" =3 That was so cute!

truehappiness · #88 13th March 2008, 01:28 AM

The "Ayu daisuki" was really expected. LOL

I thought there'd be more of those. :p

The look on Ayu's face during the doc when she was rehearsing AUDIENCE, and that guy in the yellow pops up is priceless

ETA: I'm starting to wonder if Ayu's really surprised when they bring her cake out on stage every year on her anniversary.

Personally, I think she is.

After all the chaos and stuff, you tend to forget what day it is..

And when the fans sing to her and when her cake comes out, she seems genuinely surprised. I mean, I'd forget it was my birthday if I were Ayu on a concert-crazy-streak. XD

Eh, I dunno if she were so surprised in previous years, but I bet she was surprised and happy during AT07's anniversary cake. They were singing "poker face", and then the cake came out...well, maybe she wasn't so surprised at the cake, but I bet she was happy to see of all that happening for her.

By AT07 that had already happened a few times. The first time I know of it happening was in Hiroshima for the My Story tour. I'm sure by now she's not surprised anymore but is still gracious and happy each time.

I'm converting the video for Memorial address right now.

Will upload in a bit.

**milky_way** · #94 13th March 2008, 03:04 AM

Even though this is like my third time watching the DVD, I just realized that there's no MC. I miss the question and answer sections

truehappiness · #95 13th March 2008, 03:06 AM

The MCs will be missed, but imo, the documentary is worth a lot more than 16 MCs. :p

**milky_way** · #96 13th March 2008, 03:09 AM

I still wish this was a 3 DVD set, so that there'd be more bonus footage. I know it'd be just like her previous concert DVDs, but I would've like the set up more.

truehappiness · #97 13th March 2008, 03:21 AM

Well. there's just as much if not more bonus footage with the documentary.

To add MCs and stuff would simply be wasting people's money [I'd guess most fans don't watch them more than once?]~

I've seen until "Part of Me" and it's an awesome big concert but both "My Story" and "(m)u" tour impressed me much more when they were released. The special effects and setting weren't as big as these previous concerts and the whole "Ayu do two fast songs, than a sexy song with her female dancers, than a sexy song with the male dancers, then it's ballad time" configuration is getting very tiring.

I think the lack of interest in this is due to all of the previous spoilers we've had before the release, whereas most other tours aren't revealed up until the DVD is released... we had tons of photos and video of this tour before the DVD...

And as for the last part, it has all to do with changing and stuff. She doesn't need the guy or girl dancers for every number, so some of them have to be off stage to get outfitted for the next act.

It's the best way to manage their time during the show, unless you want Yocchan playing off between every song.. :/ It's quite hard to get every single dancer changed in two minutes or less, so they have to break things apart like that. GUILTY will most likely have (don't) Leave me alone and Marionette as the female/male split songs..

I agree. I was really disappointed when buying AT06 since no one was able to make subs for the 3rd disc, so i didnt watch any of the MC sessions. I'm able to follow through documentaries a lot easier since its not just talking.

I keep hearing the JEWEL song was of bad quality, which is probably is since its a "special" performance. I wonder why she didnt perform it on the majority of the tour, such a hit song.
