I didn't watch the full concert properly but parts of every song.
I'm quite disappointed. The setlist is great but this concert is so... I don't know.
The whole "hotel" thing seems all over the place. There is a lot of random things going on. It was not a problem with Rock 'n' Roll Circus. But it bugs me here.
The props looked tacky. The scenes were odd too (for example the bed one is terrible imo. Those two beds side by side -weird angle- and all the people jumping and sliding on them...).
The whole stage looked strange, with the bare centered platform and the chorists behind... I didn't really like the background and the colors. To sum up, there was a lot of work behind it, but it's a failure to me. I know it's pretty subjective.
The costumes were tacky (the white sheets, the groom/clown ones were just horrendous...).
I'm so tired of the dancers and already tired of Tim. They're taking more and more importance (Tim's acting and look are so annoying, the latter doesn't even match the theme. Too bad, he seems to be a really nice person).
The Love song perf is exactly what I don't like. You take a great emotional song and you invite all the dancers, you make a stupid choreography and so on. It doesn't fit such a song! On the other hand you put ayu on a chair, Yo chan with an accoustic guitar and that's it, you have an amazing simple perf.
I was relieved when the encore came and everything was back to "normality".
I'm aware it's just my opinion, and it's good people enjoyed it. But the whole thing felt so wrong to me. It's the first time I'm really disappointed with one of her concert.
What I liked : ayu's voice sounded fine. She is "hardly" going off pitch (not as much as usual). I was really impressed. Moreover she sounded quite ill on the previous progress live (she was breathing with difficulty and she sounded raspy and husky). It's odd she managed to sound that good in such a short period of time.
