i hope i get some replies towards my opinion .. agreeing / disagreeing .. :O

i just finished watching the concert annnnnd:

positive:
+ it was simple but awesome!
+ the ballad section wasn't half the show
+ her outfits were on point - her skinny jeans and the jacket looked stunnin on her and her hair was adorable! (except the leather outfit during warning and unite, i enjoyed all costumes)
+ she looked healthy and trained! her body looked full of muscles sometimes (especially, when the camera captures her from the side) in that black leather dress!
+ ivy - thank you ayu, for holding strong and not crack in tears in it! it was an amazing performance and that kimono, uh ayu. A+
+ summer diary - uh that jump on shu-ya at the beginning of summer diary. WOW.
+ dream on & marionette were memorable, too. i loved when they bound her into the cube.
plus:

i disagree with most comments on AHS i think 'many classic moments' was stunning ! her voiced got throaty towards the end but that didn't bothered me at all! I thought, because of AHS, many classic moments will be the most awful performance in her live history - gladly it wasn't!

negative:
- i actually enjoyed the "m(a)de in Tokyo" theme , but they used it for 10% of the show, only.
- unite and warning hasn't been satisfied for me. Unite was harsh, those high tones were tough listening to and I personally think that warning sounded lip-sinc with mic on, so she could sing the lalalala. next time she'd better turn it y off .
- green was rather a traditional version instead of a rock version. I was a little bit disappointed because i enjoy ayu's rock version but the traditional was solid. (AHS calls it the rock version)
- TK was just .... oh lord ...

All in all, it's a solid concert which can be approved for an even better arena tour. if she uses the theme and adapt it "stronger" on more songs than, i think, the arena tour will be a huge success. thank you so much for a wonderfull start in 2016 Ayu !!!
