Anyway....

While yes the show is very importaint I think the most importaint is the performing itself, if there are good vocals, good representation of the song from artist hersels show doesn't need to be too overwhelming to make you enjoy it.

Personally on this years CDL I really enjoyed her vocals like a lot, I thought the stage was great, some of the performances lacked a bit of creativity but it wasn't all that bad. True, Ayu was sitting around a lot, but it wasn't that much of a problem to me, tho i love seeing her dancing. The back vocals were absolutelly ok too. The only thing I thought was absolutelly out of the place was those three clowny persons running around. I didn't really get the point of them being there, so they kinda annoyed me lol

I can understand the frustration of some fans who were there, tho. When you are seated in one place and the artist just stay in one part of the stage a lot, u can't really see them as much as u would want. Also u always get the view from the same angle so it makes things slightly borring if there's not much going on on stage plot-wise. I think the most of the action was concentrated on the main stage that's why it wasn't more exciting, cuz there's simply no surprises.

also I think comparing CDL with AT is a bit not fair too. Cuz they put much more planning and rehersing into that one than they put into CDL, and they probably start planning months and months before the actual tour even starts...just my thoghts tho....

I kinda agree that there is possibility they plan it quite last minute after all the tours in previous months. Some of the team members are also not presence maybe due to exhaustion, injuries or falls ill. Well no doubt I mean it seems that ayu's voice needs some real recovery but despite that she really did her best and I love her singing in cdl though not the best but I giving her credit after all the vocal in 3 consecutive days. Among the whole show, November really captivate me despite all the negative review bout the dancer. I think it does portray the lyrics of "November". I do not know Japanese so, looking at the performance, I roughly know what this music about. I read the translation to double confirm *lol* Anyway, it's a tough song to sing and a big applause to Ayu
