Hands down one of her worst concerts evahhh!
And I'm a hardcore Ayu concert fan, I watch/rewatch all of them about a million times and listen to the Live rips more than the actual songs
Best performances, imo, were STEP you, About you, Pride, teddy bear and RED LINE. The rest were pretttttty much horrible, and yes, worse than CDL 07-08 TV Ver. At least she had
some stellar performances there (Sotsugyou Shashin, Together When..., etc.). This concert had
tolerable ones, such as the ones I listed above, but no stellar ones. I don't even want vocal rips, and that's a first.
I really liked STEP you/EnergizE simply because she did something new with the Clown theme. Everything else was horribly rehashed. Idk, it's like, she decided to choose some of the noisiest and most vocally demanding songs for this concert instead of songs she can, y'know, actually sing. I've been a stern believer in Ayu's vocals going up since CDL 07-08, which has been mostly the case, but now they're back to that level. And like... it wasn't even just one or two performances, it was
a lot of them. The only really noticeable flat note we had to endure in PCDL was at the end of POWDER SNOW (if you watched the TV Ver), but in this concert there are too many to count.
And no, I don't think I'm being selfish for criticizing Ayu, and I don't think anyone should ever feel selfish for criticizing. I'm not asking her to cater to my whims and needs, but I'm basing my opinion on past concerts and stating that her vocals were
really really off and that kinda ruined the concert for me. I don't think asking her to sing well is being selfish
P.S., for those who don't know me well, please don't peg me as a huge Ayu-hater based on this post. You wouldn't BELIEVE how much I love Ayu's live concerts, I can probably accurately say that I live for them.
