I'm actually more excited for a TV version of this concert than the release of the AT09 DVD. XD

Ok, here is my review. I won't go into huge details since others have already done so.

-She didn't have a bad outfit - I liked everything; nothing that made me go 'wtf'

-The Introduction was super looong. I looked at my watch and the show started at 6:45 but Ayu didn't come onstage until 7:00.

-I was so glad she performed alterna - from that moment on, the concert could do no wrong for me.

-Was really surprised to Rainy Day and Memorial Address. Especially Memorial Address I didn't think I would ever hear live - so at that point in the concert I teared up a bit but I didn't feel anything for Ballad (since its basically like watching a soap opera or something^_^) even though it seems all the other girls from AHS did, haha.

-Ballad is my least favorite song on the album, but the performance at least kept me interested. A lot of over the top acting and Shuya spits out blue blood - that made me go like "woah". Surprising.

-There is some recycling; the performances of About You, Because of You, and Inspire are basically the same as the CDL. But I didn't see the CDL so I didn't mind. The split leg pants also make another appearance, but this time it really kind of fit with the Arabian theme of that section.

- There was hardly any Shuya and Ayu in this concert! Yay! Her dancers were still extremely prominant of course, but there was no one dancer that Ayu spends a ton of time with.

-Vocal wise I thought About You sounded about the same as the CDL and Because of You and Inspire were slightly better than CDL. Overall I thought her vocals ranged from alright to good most of the night - there was nothing that was really bad, but nothing that was really great either. Best of all though, there was nearly no lipsynching - even Sexy Little Things and Step You sounded at the very least half live which was surprising especially for Sexy Little Things! This was probably one of my least favorite Step You performances though because she doesn't really move at all for like half the song - just sitting in a cup.

-Lady Dynamite was much better live I thought.

-Surreal was performed pretty well and Evolution sounded.....like Evolution has been sounding lately.

-There was no major like set piece of the concert, but the overall show was very well put together. If you don't like clowns though you will probably hate this concert - they are all over the place. The show was like a more classy/freaky version of the A-Museum stage. The screen videos are probably the best she has had I think at least in terms of setting a mood.

Overall, I really thought this concert was her best since Miss Understood and overall enjoyment wise might be up there with My Story for me; but it didn't really have anything innovative like My Story did so I'm not sure if I'd rank this over My Story just yet.

Sorry for the not so detailed review, but my brain is still kind of turned off right now.
For a none sugar-coated version this is great! Thanks everyone for writing the reviews. I wish we had more pics from the concert and hopefully clips from the news shows will be here sooner or later.

This tour sounds so amazing, everything about it. I wish I could go back to Japan now, but I don't have any money at the moment. But I'm so glad we got a live-feed, it was so exciting to get the setlist that way. ^^ Thanks for everyone who participated!

Oh, and I LOVE those outfits!

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH to everbody, who wrote reports and posted pics!!

This tour sounds AMAZING. My heart is beating really fast now!! ^.^
The outfits sound GORGEOUS and everbody is so excited about the screens, that I can't wait to see them. I'm so happy, that she really had a circus-theme for the stage and the outfits!!
And it makes me happy, that everyone was satisfied with Ayu's voice. She is really always trying her hardest!!

And "BALLAD"...wahhh, after reading Misa-chan's review of this performance, I already know, that I will LOVE it!


I don't know what else I should say. I'm just sooooo excited and happy now.
I'm a bit sad, that I cannot go to the tour, but I'm happy that everbody had such a great, great time.

I'm off to read the reviews and look at the pretty pics again! *.*

Rody! wanted to see something like a Mirrorcle World ship, or an exploding Ayu robot prop, I suppose.

That's what makes the tours "exciting" for him, I think. However, reliance on props imo is never a good thing.

We still have the giant glass xD The ship was there to celebrate her 10th Anniversary, I would never expect something like that to happen ever again.
