^ It's not the set list people are disappointed at, nor is it the Naoya collabs. It's the fact he was in her solo songs and this wasn't advertised in advanced. I know it doesn't really matter to those of us not going, but it's still a huge disappointment when we view a-nation as another chance to see Ayumi Hamsaki performing. Further added to this disappointment - for myself anyway - was Ayu's "people would hate it anyway" mentality, that made me feel like she was doing it for selfish reasons, not for her fans and to bring them enjoyment with her performance. Her newest blog post rectifies this with her new stance on the (non rude) criticisms.
When I dislike an album, it's fine. With the singles and promo PV's I have materials to judge if I want to buy or not. They work as the advertisement for the changes since the previous album. For example, the change in formula for NEXT LEVEL was seen in Sparkle and the style of the covers. None of us have a problem with her changing and evolving, there are many other factors in the reaction to this a-nation.
