I wasn't planning to watch the live stream because the same reason. Somehow I clicked the link during the mid of the concert because I thought, "hey it's live so probly it's exciting!" Watching her live (even tho it's just streaming) was much more emotional than I expected. All of the sudden my mind went through from the time I started listened to Automatic in 1999 and so on.

For ayu... I know that she's hard working, trying her best to give a fantastic concert every single time. But since MY STORY tour she has been using the same formula every single time (large screen, lots of visuals, her dancers running around, lots of gimmicks, etc.). The formula is getting old and her lives just don't attract me anymore. That is why I feel more excited to see that she's doing a different type of tour this time. I think I will enjoy her new live more than the circus type at this moment.

My brother doesn't mind watching hikki standing there, doing nothing but singing as well. And he doesn't even bother about ayu's concerts because he thinks they're so boring... .

Haha I pretty much agree with all you said. And I, too, am really excited that Ayu is stripping down this performance, I think it'll be way more emotional.

@sesshy: I agree, it's her raw vocals that really make the performance. When I heard UU06's 'Hikari' I had to watch it live (and later bought the dvd of the concert) because it was so emotional. I cried all throughout that performance haha.

Also with 'Time will Tell', I was like "OMG Don't Cry!!" *bawls anyway*

EDT: The Blu-Ray looks amazing! I can't afford it right now, but I'm totally splurging and buying it when I get more money, lol.
