Colours and A One didn't had tight concepts like her other albums, but Colours showed she going a new direction for her (and mostly exceling on it IMO) while A One showed safe but extremely well crafted ballads. Made in Japan showed her feelings towards her homeland and another tight concept, and it's not her fault if western fandom expected sushi and ninja because it was based in Japan.

The last two tours had great concepts, depth, great amount of storytelling and comentary about her image (cdm) and the society she lives in (mij).

I don't get why people complain so much about that considering her tours from 2003 to 2009 were pretty much flashy for the sake of being flashy and her albuns from My Story to Rock n Roll Circus had poorly executed concepts and were constructed around summer and winter singles. Also, her fandom it's way more conservative than it likes to think it is, and everytime she really tried to shake things up she was shitted on by her fans...

This. In every single sentence.
