AT09 got a ton of backlash cuz of the "epicness creep" of ayu's shows before that... From Arena Tour 2003-2004 on, each major tour got bigger and bigger than the one before it. After the huge freaking ship at the climax of AT2008, Ayu fans were somehow expecting something bigger to follow at AT2009. What they were expecting, I have no idea. When AT2009 took a more understated, intimate direction - scaling it back to about the size of AT2003-2004 or the MY STORY tour - people were understandably disappointed. (Although folks here who know my attitude regarding Ayu concerts will not be shocked to learn that my reaction was OH THANK GOD, hahaha)
Ayu didn't learn soon enough to be careful with "outdoing" herself each year... you do that kind of thing, you're gonna hit a limit at some point and all you'll do is disappoint people when you can't keep the implied promise that everyone imagines you made. It's the truth. Film series, game series, and events like conventions all have EXACTLY the same problem.
