the logo looks better in yellow indeed. lol

the setlist is nice! I was hoping for a new song or something like she did with Party queen when she performed it live before releasing but that's okay. looks like she focused more on the music this time and I'm happy to hear that!

I just noticed Miccie sang Diary.

Eh, couldn't Ayu have just covered it? Lol, the song is nice but I really don't like Miccie's voice.

I like the setlist. I hope that she chops and changes a few songs, however. As others said in the previous thread, it would be nice to see reminds me or identity. A mix between super popular tracks and less popular/rarities would be the best, I feel.

Bigger question is did she actually sing ever free. Thank god SURREAL is by itself. Otherwise I feel let down over the set list.

^she did, it was already confirmed in previous thread, maybe you should check that one before asking questions, since some might be answered there already.

As far as Ayu goes, I did kind of expect new outfits. Her thing lately seems to be to start with old ones and rotate other ones in later. She even did it in other tours with 'unfinished' versions of some outfits that were new though.

ooh ! I love the balloons part haha !
The setlist is ok, not the perfect setlist for me but I'm pretty surprised by her choice !


About the concert, I know everybody expect something BIG for her 20th anniversary, but can she do everytime bigger. I don't think so.

And she said the main theme was the MUSIC so... it's what she did isn't it ?
it's not the easiest choice (and maybe that's why she's not perfectly satisfied) but it's her choice, be focus on song, voice and arrangements... we can't says that it's everytime the same =D

But when I read "no effort", I wonder if people forget who she is...


I remember that a lot of people complained about the first power of music because there has not a lot of outfit and staging haha


The first, and the only, tour I saw was the Hotel love song, the last show on DVD was better than the first I saw in saitama,I was surprised !

Sometimes I think we are spoiled child haha

Well, I hope everyone had good time anyway and I really can't wait to go in July !

Thanks for your review ! =)

I would be satisfied even with a show without any stage decoration nor flashy dresses. I’m used to attending shows where there is nothing but the band onstage, doing what people actually like them for, their music.

Let’s focus on the music and how she delivers each and every song.

I had attended today’s show.
Opening song has no intro, no tension or whatsoever and it’s the exact copy of 11’PoM version of forgiveness. Come on! It’s a 20th anniversary tour. Give people something to treasure the past 20 years together. It doesn’t feel like an anniversary live at all!!

Has anyone noticed that she broke into tears at the last few high notes in To Be....., I don’t think it’s because the song was so touching that made her cry. I think it’s because she could hit those high notes. To be honest, i had attended her show 45 times. Her voice is broken for sure and i think she knows it too!

An anniversary show ended with A song os born, wtf?! And it’s recycled from last PoM tour as well. How disappointing

Good thing is she finally sang ever free, I’ve been waiting for 17years! I think i may know the reasonwhy. Her singing career seems heading to an end and sadly it may happen pretty soon. Hope I’m wrong

Born to be is a nice surprise, finally it’s sung in a tour not just CDL. Downside is, it’s another recycled version from past concert. I was so disappointed that i had a heartache soon after the concert finished.

The title “20th anniversary” is a big misleading ticket selling gimmick! And I don’t see how this tour’s ticket is more expensive than the last one. Certainly don’t see the upgrade in performance.

Now I look back, what did “Just the beginning-20-“ mean in last year tour????
Now I’m so confused
I thought it would lead to something big in the 20th anniversary year, I haven’t seen it though =(
