Or that elephant 3 years ago. It wasn't as good as the ship but still.

absolutely. I'm still not over how awfully similar the ARENA TOUR setlist was to the CDL's, and that immature performance made it even worse because I think it should have been the opening song! it was sooo wonderful

You can play all your strength in the first act though, you need substance to keep your audience attention till the end (and since it was a 3 hours show, she need something big the end.) And I think it was brilliant to use the CDL budget to develop the Arena Tour in order to make a bigger tour.

hmm. I never saw it that way. good point. I feel like she really liked the CdM theme in general that she wanted the people who didn't attend CDL to see it as well, but in a much longer show. guess I'm just upset the nationwide tour wasn't completely brand-new + I wasn't crazy about many of the songs she ended up retaining.

I might try to attend one of the Nakano Sun Plaza Hall tokyo events next year, anyone got their tickets?

[pedronekoi]

^ I got tickets for the first day

I miss the props too! Even the Hotel Love Songs letters on stage was a nice prop.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

It took me a while to realize she is sitting on an heart.

I thought it was a guitar lol. Totally didn't notice the arrow on the left side.

[Aderianu]

There was a #chupachups tag near this photo, so that's heart, guitar and chupa chups

Indeed I do. The ship sealed the deal for me as a fan. I was still figuring out at the time who Ayu was when I came upon that concert. That's when I realized if someone's willing to spend that sort of money for such a huge prop, only for the sake of what--it was on stage for 2 songs?--then this is absolutely someone huge and worth paying attention to. That's when I started seeking *all* her albums and concerts. Haven't regretted a thing since.

These pics definetely look like someone made it with a phonecamera.

Show looks fun!

[kotora]

Question of the car. What is the driver license? A020 10-02?

[maxikot]

^ It drew my attention as well! Maybe a message about a future release or..sth? Would be quite distant, though.
