I thought she actually sounded pretty good for most of the concert. There
were parts that were super inconsistent. She sounded so nice in my name's WOMEN's chorus for example but shaky in the verses. She varied a lot within songs, but overall I thought she was totally tolerable considering how her voice has deteriorated. I thought she improved.
I loved what she did with 1 LOVE. That song has gotten a little boring for me, but it felt like a TOTALLY different song with that performance despite having the same usual arrangement. It was just fun. I especially loved her shooting a heart out of her cooch twice.
My biggest disappointment really was that the entire second half of the concert was the same thing over and over. Not even a costume change. All the props and theatrics disappeared and it turned into the usual Ayu on stage with blandly choreographed swarms of dancers. And to make matters worse, every song had to have been extended to 7 minutes long. Everything up to Last minute FLEW BY, and then the second half was just a series of excruciatingly long by-the-numbers performances. :\
If the entire concert had been as good as the first half, I'd say it was her best show in years, but that'd be a lie because I think she's stepped up her concert game a lot in the past few years lol. Almost every concert post-POM has been

for me. ...Except PREMIUM SHOWCASE and the second half of this one.

I hate that, it seems so tacky and cheap. Like honestly I don't really think there's any excuse for not wearing a pair of shoes on stage. It's just weird.
