After a 1-month delay, ayu-chan finally welcomes her tour’s opening day without incident.
ayu-chan has also reached Hiroshima safely, on JAL 1607 flight, departing Haneda at 11:28 and arriving in Hiroshima at 12:55.
Though I am not taking part in today’s show myself, I have been excited since morning, sort like like in a festive mood

This is not a complete list, but it seems like this will be this year’s setlist.
However, as the live has yet to begin, this setlist may not be totally reliable.

The staging this year is said to resemble CDL’s last year.
And then, though the stage front faces South, it affords a good view as long as you are close.
There are also reports that the view from the stands is good too.

Looking at this seating plan, it seems like the stage is placed right in the centre of the arena. The front of the stage faces Stand D, while the runway stretches back towards Stand I, resembling last year’s CDL stage.
And it seems like the stage is closer to the audience than ever this time.

Looking at the incomplete setlist posted earlier, seems like this tour will be focused mostly on singles songs, and most of the songs have been rearranged.
Could this be due to the sudden change in plans?
There was also no costume change.

Maybe this live was made with the affected regions in mind?
Thus, there were no costume changes, no encore, no MC and no Thank-you mail. She wanted to convey her message through music alone.
Her hairstyle was short, and make-up natural. Her voice also seemed to be in good condition.

The live this time seems to have garnered both positive and negative feedback.
Without MC, costume changes, and tossing of signed balls, the tour does seem a little bare, but many people have submitted positive feedback.
“The setlist rocks!”
“I’ve wanted to see such a simple show”
“The orchestra was really touching”
“Though this wasn’t an extravagant stand-out show, I was touched by ayu’s thoughts and wishes to give support to the victims through song”
and many more.

Sorry~
I have been stating that there’s no encore, but the last song ♪A song is born♪ was meant to be an encore song.
By the way, it seems like the audience sang along to this song, and ayu-chan cried lots.
The dancers who are taking part in this tour are
Dancers Shu-Ya, ZIN, Maro, Go-Mi, Kazuma, Aki, Midoring, KO, EMI, EKKO
Performers SYU, KUNI, SUKE3

The live this time is not as extravagant as usual.
But ayu-chan seemed to be able to convey her thoughts through songs. Her vocal training has shown results, with her voice coming out and stretching more.
Another highlight is the 23-man orchestra, with instruments like trombones and violins coming together to make wonderful sounds.
By the way, there are reports that songs have been rearranged, with a majority of them having a jazz flavour now.

ayu_19980408: Eh! Is this real? If it is, then I’m signing it. [In Uganda, it seems like a law just passed to make [Homosexual Relationships] punishable by death. To all those who are against this [Anti-Homosexual Law], please give us your support. (Petition Page, Japanese Translations) http://t.co/PRLyrgr
ayu_19980408: Why is it that when one person loves another, they must be punished by death?
sunflower_michi: Has ayu-chan heard Big News?
ayu_19980408: Is it the thing about MikaJohn?
gak_fan: A question for ayu. Do you think it’s alright for a guy to like another guy? Would you discriminate against someone who admits it?
ayu_19980408: I have no reason to. Nobody has the right to judge someone’s love for another. Same goes to any words that aim to take away their future!!
kurumi_19880416: A-chan (´。・ω・。`) http://t.co/D4DHosI Have you seen this CM for CR Hamasaki Ayumi’s Story – Prologue-?
ayu_19980408: If this is real, then it’s awesome. But I’ve never seen this before. Just what is it?
koutsut0hey: Does the company know about this? ( ;´Д`)
ayu_19980408: My managers have never seen this before too. Amazing–
takahasiseminar: Erm, shouldn’t they get permission from you?
ayu_19980408: Yes. As for now, I’m so shocked at seeing it that it has made me laugh.
ayu_19980408: Erm, the rights that avex and I hold, as well as the problems that come with it, are all to be settled by the company. So these things do not pass through my hands as a single artiste ^^;
ayu_19980408: And then, tonight will be decisive of my performance at Yokohama tomorrow and the day after! So I need to totally concentrate!! Now, as Hamasaki Ayumi, I need to focus on sending the POWER of MUSIC show to everyone with all my might (^_−)−☆ And from Yokohama, we will continue to level up, so look forward to that (*^^*)
ayu_19980408: Oh, and about the Uganda problem! I am firmly supportive of homosexuality. As I’ve said many times, who has the right to decide that a person’s love for another is to be punished by death? Nobody has the right to judge and tell anyone who they should love!!
odayoshio: I agree. If not, many people around ayu-chan won’t be here anymore…
ayu_19980408: That’s true! Hey, wait a minute. Yoshio-san… ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
donatsuki: I believe in ayu-chan’s emotions. But please, do not quarrel with your company. I’ll be waiting for ayu-chan’s report.
ayu_19980408: Don’t worry. The company is doing its best to protect me with everything they have now (*^^*)
