I just finished rollin' and I'm onto Sparkle, and I too am feeling very disappointed. The whole thing feels kinda cheap, and those jumbotrons she's using (or whatever) to display those effects - which remind me of the effects from WMP - remind me of something from MUSIC STATION or something. It feels...nothing like a concert. And that wig. 
I'm a fan of Ayu with short hair, but this is ridiculous! Her CDL0708 short crop was so beautiful, and au naturel. 
Maybe it's just that this is a TV broadcast. Haven't you guys said they can be different - and bad -sometimes? *sigh* I dunno, but I'm feeling let down. One thing's for sure: I am liking her male dancers this time, if you know what I mean. 
Sparkle's a hot song, and it's turning out to be a hot performance.
I can only hope the DVD might be better, or after these opening songs things will turn out better. And that Ayu will take off the damn wig.
EDIT: However, I do notice Ayu seems really peppy and into it, so that's always a good thing. >w< She looks like she's having so much fun, and when she took off those funky glasses, and then gave a "V", that was too cute! >w<
