On another note, am I the only whone who thinks that the police kinda hat doesn't go well with the CdM dessous?

The police hat should stay with the chapter 1 ourselves outfit or maybe paired with a leather jacket and black top

I'm not feeling this setlist... I do LOVE all of the songs in it, but there's nothing outstanding for me, except for FLOWER-ourselves. Chapter 2 has my favorite setlist!

Same here, I am... the only one that surprised me.

How much info you want?

In short, I went to the final chapter 2 show and while that was awesome, this was by far more impressive. Her outfits were MUCH better - particularly the gold Japanese-style dress she wore for I Am... and Moments and the black dress she wore for Memorial Address and Last Minute - and the set list blew my mind. Her voice wasn’t at its best for the first few songs but she sounded better as the night went on.

There’s still the same interludes from Chapter 2 and the lucky boy/girls part (which for anyone wondering they always select at least one person from the upstairs section). But the whole tour comes full circle using the Chapter 1 performance of Ourselves again to close out the main show which I think was a great touch.

So yeah, amazing. Go see it if you can because it is totally worth it. I wish I could show you pics of how gorogeous she looked!

I’m really interested to see how this show evolves - Chapter 2 looked quite different by the end of November

[Katsuyuki012]

^well I on my side just want to know more about the performance with the rose, how it transforms etc..

[~angel*ayumi~]

that is quiet sad, though the auctions seems gone now
Japanese fans get all angry about this on social media

Just finished the Nara live, it was awesome.

There was no golden outfit with black hat by the way. Maybe one of the outfits wasn't ready for the first show?
Tracklist is the same as the first show.
And she did look gorgeous as ever, the dresses for I am.../Moments and Memorial address/Last minute are so beautiful I just can't! This is by far the best chapter IMO when it comes to outfits (wait & see).

There was no taking pictures during Boys & Girls (like in chapter 2).
Today she was so late for the encore, something about Papiko. So ZIN had to start alone to cheer the audience and everything. During the MC they talked about the Nara Hall and how the highest sections could come down if wanted, she was so amazed. Also, it was her first live in Nara!!! (Thanks, Hall tour xD).

The flower isn't mechanical like AT06's one and won't open itself, hence why this one isn't in plastic and looks better. At the end of FLOWER every dancer takes a petal away to reveal the table for ourselves.

Vocally she nailed FLOWER it was sooo good, but had a bit of trouble reaching the right notes for I am... and Last minute.
Her voice was less good IMO than in Chiba for chapter 2 (and she was sick there 3 days ago).
To be honest she kinda lost her voice at the middle of Last minute, but whatever...

The interlude for MA/LM is some clips of both performances from AT2003-2004 and a recent live, don't remember which one for LM.
The other interludes are similar to chapter 2.
The lucky guy was sitting right in front of me today xD

It was fun, and while chapter 2's tracklist will always be on top (alterna guys), this show was very entertaining.

Oh, and did anyone mention that Micci is still doing the first part of the show. He already sang one of his songs during chapter 2, so he's still touring with her for chapter 3 (1 song 10 minutes before the show starts)

Looks fantastic though and she looks slimmer. This year she has had some really unflattering costumes figure wise.

[truehappiness]

Holy crap, she looks GORGEOUS THERE!!!!!

[cosmicfirefly]

Love that photo of her!

Except for ballads. There are no, like, total ballads on that list. Even Moments is still mid-tempo. But regardless, I love the setlists for both the 2nd and 3rd chapter. I hope they both get filmed. I'm expecting a complete live boxset next year.

is this for I am.../Moments?

[Sim']

It's for A Song for XX.
The I am... / Moments outfit is a golden kinda japanese dress/kimono-like, you only see the top in the picture (she removes the bottom of the dress at the end of Moments)

[truehappiness]

Is it me or is that Ayu a bit like the TSUKI cover?

[Earth_maiden]

With the new costumes it seems pretty sure that she'll be recording these shows. What do others think?

[kendelle]

omg this is looking amazing *___* I think I'm gonna die when I go lol

I was scrolling the photos and stopping on each one...are photos still not allowed? I would be happy to try and take pics of the days I attend since I'll probably forget the setlist.....

Would you be able to enter the lottery for days you're not going to the concert, but can get to the venue? If so I might enter all 5 days to see if I can win something.

[dreamalley]

Loving the new setlist and the new look. Long blond hair = perfection.
