Not sure if it's probably because we usually watch ayu concerts (I'm saying this because we're in AHS) which has... grandiose things all over the place, compared to a little girl with her band, carrying a guitar...

It's just my 2cents, but still, at least, for a female singer-songwriter with a guitar in her hand (or maybe any band), her concerts are far more enjoyable, at least for me. No offense but I remember back then watching YUI concert and fell asleep after several minutes, and then one of Do As Infinity concert as well, and yeah I'm a big fan of those two, but lol it happened.

But yeah, I think acoguissimo is even more enjoyable because, it's just her and her guitar, nothing else. One of the performance, Kataomoi, it's just her without guitar, only her voice. It's awesome. I'm surprised how miwa pulled off her guitar skills (well, tbh, I can't play it) during the show, it's surprising and entertaining at the same time.

Anyway, maybe if you want to watch it, I think I should warn you about the MC, if you don't understand it will be very boring, because she has some signatures which only her radio listeners will understand, even though it's quite funny sometimes, but if you can't stand long MC... well, be careful.

Well, the Ayu type of grandiose can be uninteresting as well... Her best performances are the ones where she's overflowing with intensity and not sharing the stage with too many people. My problem with the miwa live was not the lack of flash, but that for most of the concer, she seemed content just... standing there, surrounded by her band, smiling away, strumming her guitar, nothing else. No intensity (even in songs that really call for that), not much of a connection to the viewer. Boring.

But a completely solo live with only her and a guitar sounds perfect. Intimate setting, new arrangements, a whole different feeling... yes! And if she can pull off any songs like the Delight live version on 360°... yeeeeessss!
