As far as I'm concerned, y'all are lucky she's still even doing these concerts. She really doesn't have to spend every New Year's holiday entertaining people. I feel bad for her in that respect. I also think some people underestimate the amount of work involved in preparing for a CDL vs. an ARENA TOUR. Think about how long she has to prepare for an ARENA TOUR taping vs. a CDL taping. I'm fairly certain the shows before the 31st ARE treated as rehearsals, sorry to say.
Does anyone think any of her CDL's actually match the quality of her tours anyway? I have never seen the big deal about these concerts. They're always poorly rehearsed, poorly planned, and poorly put-together. I stopped caring after PCDL where she lip-synched basically the entire concert and then had the gall to release it as a live audio CD later on. CDLs are nothing but a quick buck for Avex and Ayu. They know die-hard fans are gonna pay anything to see it because it's a ~special~ two-night only thing. Then they can release a DVD that thousands and thousands more people will buy... Granted, if I had the money I'd go in a heartbeat but I still wouldn't expect a showstopper - especially with her current vocal ability and increasing presence of her corny dancers and staff.
