She lost it during the 'quiet' part before the last chorus and broke down sobbing, and that's when I lost it too. SURREAL was also, surprisingly, extreeeemely good. *tear* I would have to say that overall tonight was even better than last night, and I didn't think yesterday could be topped. The encore was also ridiculously funny, as Jin came out with a stuffed monkey that was attached to its arms (it had velcro on its hands or something) and introduced the monkey as his father, and Jin and Ayu took turns speaking for the monkey and criticizing Jin's ability (or lack thereof) to properly teach the audience the Red Line dance...he screwed up today just like he did yesterday. I can't wait to see the MC collection on this tour DVD.

I really can't put into words how much I love this tour...it's my favorite of hers, for sure. Even without big props or what have you. Like SunshineSlayer said, it's so cohesive and everything flows together that I was just so, so impressed. The setlist is bomb, her costumes are amazing, and the whole atmosphere is wonderful. After the abomination that was AT09, this is such a breath of fresh air. You can be sure I'll be going to *both* shows in Yokohama next month, and (if I can) both shows in July at Yoyogi.
You really know how to make people excited! It's amazing, just the first dates and it's already like this. Can't imagine how cool the last shows will be. I wonder if we get more dates for autumn?
