Just finished the show. She does sound surprisingly good in some songs, like Duty and Warning, but others like Happy Ending and Last Minute were completely butchered. That said, the new arrangement of immature was nice, and I'm 100% ready for her to phase out this "exotic" circus arrangement for Duty lol.

Also recently had the chance to watch the NHK Songs performances - now THAT was a great vocal performance, especially in Seasons.

I am in the process of watching the whole thing now and i must say that i hate lost in trance interlude. It's a weak musical break but i could live with it if they sang in japanese and some other lyrics. When i heard, you are the sunshine i am the sunrise blablabla, wanted to hide myself. Really i think if they sang in japanese would be better.

WARNING performance is so amazing and powerful...

I think Ayu dance's movement is getting better...her facial expression is golden as well

The show is amazing. I'm sad that I won't be able to buy the dvd when it"ll be released.

The new arrangement for Duty is really amazing. If only they could release a live album with the songs that was re-arranged *.*

The 1love performance is always as great as that the CDL's one. WARNING is also great with the screen.

Diary is really beautiful. Is it out on Itunes or is it available somewhere?
WALTZ is sooo funny.

I would like to add something about Princess. When she was in duet with Peco I never thought about her more than : she is just a good backing vocalist. However now that Timmy is there, I started to think that she's amazing. I hope Ayu'll do more Timmy/Princess duo in her concert.

I just watched the concert, i only skipped forgiveness~progress part because i found it boring during CDL already, other than that it was soooo great, i like her outfits better here, the screens during 1LOVE aren't exactly the same either.

I just listened to the mp3 rip but didn't actually watch it. But OMG I got goosebumps listening to the audio files. She is hitting some notes beautifully, Pride was absolutely gorgeous

Mirrorcle World talks about illusions. Circuses are full of illusions, things aren't as they appear. What's not to get?

Man, I just finished watching the concert, and I don't know how to properly describe, but I feel kinda... tired? Some slow songs apart, the concert was full of lights, huge shiny colorful stage, tons of different outfits for the dancers, I felt lost during songs like Rule without knowing where to look at, and even at Anything for You there was a hell of a complex dance routine. And I love her rockish songs, but there were SO MANY of them I felt a bit dragged, even most of the upbeat songs were rockish like Lady Dynamite and GAME. Gosh, and it was like every single step from the dancers was part of a choreography, and the dance itself was also different from the usual, a lot of spinnings and arms going up, down, opening, closing, meanwhile there is someone flying on tissues and a guy rolling on a ball mAAAAANNN

I don't know if it was her intention to make the concert like this, but I could have enjoyed it more if it were a little simpler or if there were more simpler performances in between :S

But when it comes to ayu it was one of her best concerts in ages tho. AWESOME vocals, looking gorgeous, nice outfits, well executed choreo and man didn't I mention how awesome her vocals were? She was so on point for Duty and A Song for xx, and I was kinda worried cause these two are older songs. progress and Mirrorcle World were also incredible imo.

Overall I feel like this will be a concert I'll listen to more than I watch to.

I'm not too crazy about Wowow cutting songs from the setlist for the TV version. I think I'll wait for the bluray version to come out.

I don't often watch TV versions of Ayu's concerts. (I think last time I did was Future Classics.) Does Wowow often cut songs out for the TV airing?

Hm, seems there was more to this sort of setlist than usual. According to a TA message, Ayu didn't sing Diary because it is a song from "all" to the "me" that is no longer around, and that is also why it comes after WARNING.

And as stated before, the Mirrorcle World costumes are the same because the show was a 'dream' or in a dream world.

WOWOW cameras are bad, maybe when you see the blu-ray with the incredible production you'll change the opinion.

^ Didn't think of it that way, that's a hoping I'll keep hahaha When the setlist came out I couldn't wait to see the concert, and maybe that also made me have higher expectations than I should. But yeah, let's wait and see

I felt this way after watching the WOWOW version of CDL 09/10 and then I saw the Bluray version, and it was just so much better.

For example 1LOVE wowow version vs 1LOVE Bluray/DVD the same happens to Game.
Normally in the TV version they don't focus ayu's face and they show too much a general view.

I just finished watching and wow that was one heck of a show! Everything was on point IMO. The costumes, the vocals, the stage and the overall theme. It was really enjoyable! I may buy this on blu ray when it's released so I can experience it on the big screen!

Correct me if I'm wrong. This tour, Ayu didn't prepare the balloons to the fans. Usually, the balloons will fly down at the last chorus of Who
