Well, I guess there must be some screens so that people sitting in the far back can see anything, apart from Ayu close ups they can be also used from time to time or partially to show some visuals. You can see screens in stage shots.

Yeah, I think that the screens are going to be used just like the ones in CDL then, it seems~

The 2nd set of photos (on the right) - 1st row, 1st from right. That dress looks long to me and it looked almost similar to the Endless sorrow dress in cdl 2010-2011 LOL.
I don't think that there are two dresses. I think that she is simply wearing a long coat over the short dress.

Oh yeah, I don't know if the a song is born performance will be in the other concerts because this was the Hiroshima date after all... which is what she normally performs in Hiroshima.
Personally I think that the concept of this tour is awesome.
I mean, only Ayu on stage (without any props or stuff) singing her soul out. And the setlist is SOOOOOO beautiful. She sings mostly ballads and I'm sure that the atmosphere during the concert must be very beautiful.

I can't wait to see pics and clips!!

Ayu looks absolutely gorgeous! I love how this tour was kept very simple.

She is so cute with that hair and dress!

I like this kind of concert. And it is appropriate for the situation that Japan is experiencing.
BUT I think she's doing another kind of show that would be the HOTEL LOVE SONGS.

lmao. Isn't this the type of concert some have been wishing for? Just ayu and the band and no special stuff. Guess ayu really can't satisfy everyone. Kinda wish she had sung Life too though.

And I feel like if she went all extravagant with her tour this year, she'd just be slammed by the media for wasting loads of electricity.

Yes! And I'm still crying...

He was my favourite male dancer. I'm happy that my other favourites are still around, but I'll miss Suba Suba A LOT!!!

Reading the reviews, I keep forgetting how walking proud was like a new "classic" for many Japanese Ayu fans... apparently they all have very fond memories of the song.

walking proud has always been one of my favourite Ayu ballads, and one of the ones I have the most fond memories/emotional ties to. Also, Ayu looks absolutely gorgeous and natural and young and great <3 Really really digging this tour so far. I honestly don't want to think about having to wait a year til a DVD release.... D:

I can understand that!
I LOVE this song like crazy. It's my favourite song from "MY STORY" and also one of my favourite Ayu-ballads. I think that the lyrics of "walking proud" are very powerful, even when they're quite sad.

wow. this setlist is really promising (besides evolution and bold and delicious). I am actually really glad it had no costume changes or interludes. Finally something different from all the other concerts.

She looks really beautiful and genuinely happy! Very simple costume, but also pretty. That's what Ayu needed, a lay back, simple show, to only showcase her talent as a singer. We've seen too much of the performer.

^Good call. Ayu as singer (PoM) or Ayu as performer (HLS). ^^

I am really looking forward to A song for xx, walking proud, forgiveness, M, fairyland, and A song is born.

So when I saw the setlist, I was a bit excited. When I saw that it is a no-frills show to the extreme, I was really, really disappointed.

I have been a huge fan of Ayu for 12 years now, and now that I am graduating college going to see her in concert is my Grad Gift. I have been SO EXCITED to see her in concert!! When the goods came out, I wondered if it would be tacky if I bought everything. Maybe two of everything.

What was I most excited about?? That one moment at the end of the concert when I would hear Ayu shout out into the crowd without microphone. Sigh.

So I see all the info about the concert -- and I get it. Powerful political/personal/uplifting message. I am sure it is the right thing for her to be doing right now. But, selfishly, I am bummed that I won't get to see the "classic" Ayu concert I have been (literally) dreaming of for years now.

I am coming around, I see the value in this one-time kind of show. I wish I could have both!!!

I am sure it will be amazing either way to see her perform live. I guess I will have to go back for CDL or next year.

---Also, does anyone else think it would be weird to buy the HLS goods for this show??? They don't match the experience!

I really like the track list for this concert! I can't for the news clip, dvd, or tv version of this concert! I am so happy to see that she is performing monochrome, far away,and forgiveness.
I am sad that Kayanocchi is no longer ayu's dancer. But I guess it can't be help since all her dancers can't stay forever.
