disappointed to hear the reviews, but looking forward to Arena Tour, which will be the aftermath of this CDL.
Fans can be so vicious, and I'm sure if the shows continue to be 'disappointing', as much as people don't want to, they will probably complain... (i.e. FIVE, collabs, Shuya/dancers..)
And she reacts to that so personally...then Arena Tour will be shaped with some more direction. It'll probably be more cohesive and interactive, and hopefully less dancers.

I feel like CDL this year is a "warm up" to the AT Love Songs! like a test run, as weird as that sounds..

There seem to be too many negative things about the concert so people don't care about that? XD

I agree :laugh

I'm happy that at least one person here enjoyed it. :yes That makes me happy, maybe it isn't that bad at all.

I don't think people (here) are ever really that satisfied after CDLs, to be honest. We haven't ever really had this many users attend CDL so there's that as well.

Great to hear that indyplus enjoyed the show though!

I don't think I've ever heard so many bad reviews about a concert though.

Even from Ayu, they're always like, so caught up in her charisma and the experience of being at the show, it's always so wonderful.


I wonder why she decided to not talk to the audience so much.

I am going to watch it on Ustream tomorrow, so I try very hard not to read the reviews. I was at Yoyogi for both days of
"CDL 2010-11 ~do it again~" and really like it, and I actually like CDLs more than Tours, so I am kinda surprised that people who attend the CDL say bad things about this year's CDL. Anyway, hope tomorrow's will be a good one.

I LOVE the outfit with the black hat!! Ayu looks soooooo cute in it! :smitten

And the setlist sounds interesting!! :yes

As far as I'm concerned, y'all are lucky she's still even doing these concerts. She really doesn't have to spend every New Year's holiday entertaining people. I feel bad for her in that respect. I also think some people underestimate the amount of work involved in preparing for a CDL vs. an ARENA TOUR. Think about how long she has to prepare for an ARENA TOUR taping vs. a CDL taping. I'm fairly certain the shows before the 31st ARE treated as rehearsals, sorry to say.

Does anyone think any of her CDL's actually match the quality of her tours anyway? I have never seen the big deal about these concerts. They're always poorly rehearsed, poorly planned, and poorly put-together. I stopped caring after PCDL where she lip-synched basically the entire concert and then had the gall to release it as a live audio CD later on. CDLs are nothing but a quick buck for Avex and Ayu. They know die-hard fans are gonna pay anything to see it because it's a ~special~ two-night only thing. Then they can release a DVD that thousands and thousands more people will buy... Granted, if I had the money I'd go in a heartbeat but I still wouldn't expect a showstopper - especially with her current vocal ability and increasing presence of her corny dancers and staff.

Guys don't be spoiled. CDL has never been great except maybe for PCDL when we had premium setlist.

^ that was a huge CDL. Wish I could of seen that!

I thought PCDL was hugely affected by when she broke her finger(s) which is why it kind of ended up the way it did. It still was a good concert imo despite some extreme cheesiness, lol.

Uhmm what is this about CDLs not being great?? Is not like CDL05-06 isn't one of her best concerts ever :rolleyes

um I disagree. I know the shows were never OMFG amazing, and certainly not as amazing as regular tours...

but they should still be a good show :shrug

If she's going to perform ******, then she shouldnt be performing at all. And she knows that.

I dont know why she just doesnt do stripped down shows. Her and the band on the stage.

That's because she just has to have her dancers doing crappy **** in every single damn concert lol

this is why I really dont know wth goes through her mind sometimes.

I'm sorry to say it, but Ayu is just kinda stupid sometimes.


Anyway, we all are still hoping Ayu is pregnant.

That's how she likes it I suppose :P

^Saying that ayu is stupid (sometimes) is going too far though.

lol I don't even know anymore.

Maybe she's going crazy.

Or J-hobo and Paella are doing some voodoo against her or something.

^^It is, and I always said, fine, if she's happy then she's happy. That's what's important.


but idk, some people may not agree.


and I know it's going too far sometimes, but, that's just how I feel sometimes. People are welcome to not like it and disagree.

That's one of the few awesome CDLs imo. In fact, I'd go so far as to say it it's one of my most favorite concerts ever.

JP fans are too. In fact, they're waiting for some sort of announcement at today's concert.
