I agree. I mean, its kinda like how much lower do people need to set their expectations before it becomes ridiculous to be doing such in the first place?

That said, what I like about the tour: I'm excited I will get to see Everywhere Nowhere for the first time, the concert goods are way better than the last few, cheap tickets for once, () she looks in great shape, I like most of the outfits with the exception of a couple I just don't like that they are such obvious rehashes - shows a lack of preparation to me. I would normally like the fact that it seems this tour is scaled back and less of a production, but I don't like the fact that it seems the dancers take center stage more than ever before and the band is pushed even further to the background - Ayu's best moments are when its just her and the band.
