I finally had the chance to watch the whole tour start to finish for more than 30 minutes ~yey~.
First...I have definite problems with...
1. Too many damn interludes/videos. Like after EVERY song nearly. Was really boring...especially since some of them werent really that great.
2. Set list. Tour suffered because of this list imo. Mostly because of the order/style of the performances...maybe thats why she felt she needed so many interludes. Who knows.
3. Dancers. Just ew. You know how many times I wanted to push Shuya off stage? Yeah.
However, I think this tour had some great redeeming points. Interestingly enough, my favorite performance was
GREEN...and I actually think it was the best one. No fuss, just Ayu, singing, and singing well. Slight hand gestures reminiscent of the drama. And it was beautiful. A really fantastic performance.
I also think that the concert after GREEN was a hell of a lot better than the one before it. I didn't really care for any of the performances before it, they were all really boring and needed more theater to save them.
She butchered Hope and Pain though. And with this copy of hanabi from stadium tour performance...ew. This song does not need a big ballad's performance to convey it's drama. It needs more of a story performance.
So yeah...the concert after GREEN is fantastic. Even Day's with it's CAROLS AT05 repeat wasnt that bad...until she started crying...but I ignored it lol There also werent so many interludes after GREEN, thank god.
SIGNAL was great. I almost cried with NEXT LEVEL...but that's just because thats MY song lol
So...I'm gonna pretend like the first half didnt happen...and give this tour a Fantastic rating...an 8/10...and I really like it
