a-nation '07 - Ayu setlist 8/12

[ayumisrael]

Well considering some artists sing ballads or mid-tempo songs I wouldn't be surprised XD

Ayu will be again the major artist of A-nation

Yeppers, that's why she sings 7 songs and she's always at the end...
I think I saw on avex pdf that her perfromances are the most seen or something.

I don't think so. It's supposed to be a pumped-up summer concert...I love classical music a lot, but it's just not the kind of feel that a-nation is going for. Now, last winter during the JEWEL performances, yes since it was wintertime and JEWEL was a slow song to begin with. But it just wouldn't work at a high-paced concert like a-nation.

I can see the slight contradiction in that Ai Otsuka played the piano version of Planetarium last year, but that was more a showcase of her own piano talents than it was a showcase of a different version of Planetarium. Ayu doesn't play an instrument so there'd be no point in changing the flow of the concert just for the orchestra version. I'd like to see it happen too, but I just don't think it's likely.

25日参加しました！
set list:
１．1 LOVE
２．until that Day
３．talkin' 2 myself
４．monochrome
５．fated
６．Julu 1st
７．Boys & Girls
８．glitter
でした。

ロック曲が続く中での新曲３．や、その次の monochrome は本当に最高でした！
fated は期待していた分、少しだけ残念な気がしました。
歌い切れていない感じがしました。
歌詞間違えがあったかもです。
最後の glitter は、自分的にはかなり良かったと思います。
軽やかさ、躍動感そして切なさが混在する感じで、明るい曲なのに切なかったです。

This was posted at ayuloveayu! Main BBS, so maybe it is true. I thought she would at least replace 1LOVE or until that Day... with t2m, but guess not. 8 songs is a lot... o_O

Yes, Talkin' 2 Myself was performed. (I was there) It was put in after Until that Day. Nothing from the set list was removed - so it was 8 songs total.
Unfortunately though it was hard to hear her vocals for a lot of the song. It seemed mid way through A-Nation they messed with the sound for some reason (it was perfect for the first half of the show); second half though it was hard to hear the vocals for anyone with loud songs. Koda's was ok for the most part because she doesn't have a band, but Otsuka got drowned out on a couple of songs and Ayu got drowned out the most because she has the loudest songs - best song performed ended up being fated because it is softer.

Also, there was a Secret Artist on 8/25 and it was Remioromen! I love them, so that was really exciting. Also, I met up with AHS's Hiro no Kaze there before the show started. (He is going to the show today as well.)
