I just finished watching the TV version and I have to say.
NEXT LEVEL tour is ayu's BEST and MOST ENJOYABLE show she has EVER done, imo. ayu looked powerful all way through, the show was energetic, the crowd was better than usual, the visuals and screens, the HOT interludes and their movies, the arrangements and some added features to the arrangements, Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~=EPIC live arrangement. Her vocals were decent and great in most of the performances as well! I didn't want to get out of the room, let alone the chair watching it, damn! Also I think that all of the songs that ayu sang in the PCDL, got better performances on NEXT LEVEL. So yeah, ayu did bring things to the NEXT LEVEL, imo, and now I understand how come she thought she did. Great, great job. The most entertaining tour of 2009 (and ayu's alone), as for my taste. |

LOL if by "EPIC" you mean "SO EPICALLY HORRIBLE THAT IT DEFIES ALL POSSIBLE DISGUSTING ARRANGEMENTS THAT EVER EXISTED" then yes =D

lol
I honestly...didn't even notice the difference in the live version...maybe I should watch it again. I think I just forgot how the studio version sounds...I thought it sounded like that though...lol I'll go listen again. Okay and another thing...can someone explain to me why people are calling this like her best tour, or one of the best...because I just...can't understand that lol or someone who thinks they know why people are saying that...because I'd like to understand the thought processes here...

The Sunrise~LOVE is ALL~ live arrangement was like she was supposed to be singing a completely different song, it's VERY uncomfortable x_x

I need some logical reasons for this being her best tour before I'll concur that, yeah maybe it is. If it's only because people may prefer this style of tour...then ehh...I don't think so lol It would be like the endless debates of who has the best tours, ayu, kuu, or namie lol

I just finished to warch te TV ver. and this show is just memorable^^
In fact, I didn't expect a good tour, it seemed to me that the AT 09 was a second PDCL with nothing really new... And that tour is just the one that surprised me the most. Good to see a BAD studio album turning so amazing live. - Rule/UNITE: I'm not a big fan of these 2 songs, but the ligntening, screens and energy of Ayu just blew me up - Energize/Sunrise: Biggest surprise ever, I actually like a Kawaii performance, that never happened to me before. The escenery is just amazing, (Pink, Blue, Yellow) and Ayu seems to have such a good time!! - LOVE'n'HATE/identity: Even if the storyline is used since AT 05, (Ayu as the strong woman with powerless men^^) I liked the rock part, especially the lightening (AGAIN!) - In the corner: Really a good perf, and the song is great too. - HOPE or PAIN/GREEN/Days: The unique perf I can't stand... For years now, she's overacting Ballads, and that makes me really uncomfortable. Moreover, I don't think her voice sounds great with those songs in live... - evolution/SIGNAL: Enjoyable like always - rollin'/Sparkle: I used to hate rollin'... BEST PERF EVER!! The overall atmosphere is just amazing, and she's having fun, I really like her moves and facial expressions. As for Sparkle, it seems a little down after seeing rollin', but still one of the best surprise of this concert. Moreover, it's surely going to be a staple song, GREAT!! NEXT LEVEL: So and so, I never really liked this song... it fells empty for me. Overall, AT 09 is really a good concert, Ayu looks fantastic, and the use of lights and screens is certainly one of the best ever. Too bad she failed the ballads part, and that we didn't have a showstopper (Maybe you guys consider In the corner as the one, but for me, comparing to alterna, kiss o' kill or Marionette, it's just too weak to play the role of a showstopper).

I agree, there were many interludes and hella-long intros. Don't get me started on In The Corner. It took forever for that damn song to start. At first I was like, "Cool, okay, leading up to it" but it wasn't even all that great. And those dancers' costumes were almost the same as last year!! >o< I was happy to know Ayu was doing such an underperformed song again, right in row, concert-wise, but it felt recycled. Anyhow... so it was nice when she kinda jumped right into things, like with the a cappella of Rule. That got me pumped. But yeah.... too many long intros... In The Corner, HOPE or PAIN, etc.... Then when Ayu just jumped right from... evolution to SIGNAL, I was like, what? That was quick! That stage was pretty simple, too. It kinda bothered me a bit, since Ayu deserves huge stages and long catwalks like at PCDL and CDL0708. I felt like I was watching like.... some random, somewhat big-time J-pop star, the way the stage felt cramped. Ayu impostor, lol~ And yes. Too much Shuya. Though he was pretty awesome in Load of the SHUGYO and LOVE 'n' HATE. I couldn't picture any other dancer perfect for that role - not even the hotness that is Maro. It just felt like...right I guess. But apart from that.... enough is enough. Ayu needs to stop favoriting him! At least, it feels like she is. The setlist was pretty messed up. It felt like she was jumping around from song to song without knowing the setlist, sometimes. There are always a handful of songs Ayu performs that I just... ugh. Want to fast-forward immediately through. Always. But with this concert.... I felt like the first time I watched it, I was just trying to locate all the songs I was dying to hear. >o< That's more personal, though. It just felt a bit off-balance, and SIGNAL didn't seem to fit in at all. Some are saying In the Corner didn't either, but it feels pretty sexy for this sexy album concert. And the performance with the dancers in fedoras adds to the sexiness and youth of it all. SIGNAL's just... some obviously 90's-era song of hers that she's choosing now to revive and promote in her two most recent concerts. Quote:
My five fave performances~ 1.) LOVE 'n' HATE 2.) EnergizE (too cute! Reminded me of the Beautiful Fighters PV a bit or something. ) 3.) rollin' 4.) Rule 5.) Sparkle On a random note, I loved some of Ayu's stage screens. The white dragon flying around behind her in Rule was pretty sweet, and the various flower screens were beautiful. I also really enjoyed her interlude videos this time around. Load of the SHUGYO was very interesting and kinda creepy, and I think some of the Shuya haters were thrilled to see such a horrible scene involving him.

As usual,arena tour stages are usually shorter like AT07,AT08 and even AT09 to fit more people Last edited by nanakopy87; 5th December 2009 at 01:00 AM. |

^ True. I guess I'm just used to watching mostly CDL's all the time. So I'm used to Ayu being treated like a queen with those huge stages. That could explain why it feels weird. ...AT09 and AT09?

I used to look forward to her concerts every single year. I finally reached my limit. Her last tour DVD was really disapointing. I used to pre-order her DVDs or I would download them the second they were on the internet. I don't bother anymore, I haven't even watched this tour...

How can she change the format? She went from simple concerts to using screens and huge props, you can't exactly go backwards or forwards. She went a little backwards by having a simpler tour, and people are whingeing that it's not as "grand" as her last few tours.
