A Song For XX is by far one of the most stable songs she has in a while. She sang to various audiences in the first two rows PERSONALLY on the left right sides and center and even reached out to touch a fan’s hand on the right side. I was like OMG that lucky chap!

She sang Ivy in the encore before the MC and medley & SEVEN DAYS WAR in a second encore (which was an awesome surprise).

The yelling at Love song had a lot of vocalization then just shouting one note, and there I thought she had great voice control over.

ourselves was easily the BEST performance she has had in YEARS. It was so freaking conceptual I have goosebumps thinking about it. She angst was on point, and it was like The Final Supper stagesetup. i cant describe how amazing it was but please wait for it. Her vocals were super strong too and it was basically kinda a ROCK ver of ourselves.

progress was handled surprisingly well minus a few shouty parts. A silver string backdrop fell down during the song to prepare for the FLOWER’s rose prop. So the whole performance was done in the front of the stage and it was very impactful. FLOWER’s backtrack was quite loud and obvious but the entire performance was powerful and loud for a live setting.

I found Memorial Address and Last minute to be slightly more overdone. She was REALLY overthetop in emotions in these.

And sometimes Timmy’s segments were a bit embarrassing to watch lol. Nothing against him AT ALL but the things he says and how he MCs is rather unnecessary hahaha

I really enjoyed seeing ayu SUPER upclose. Row 7 is INSANE and to be right inthe middle. Omgosh I swear she looked in my direction a few times.
Wow that's awesome! I was there too, first floor right by the computer control station. Incredible that you were that close!! I second your review. I was really pleasantly surprised how good she sounded 95% of the show. The beginning of I am was a bit rough but she did really well when she got into it. ASFxx was amazing. Ourselves was amazing, I've been humming it to myself since the show ended. Bold and delicious was fun and she sounded great. Really good overall with a few rough spots but overall she sounded great. And I was also nicely surprised that she actually looked better in person than the photoshopped posters, at least in my opinion. I was also there the on 2/20 and I thought she sounded even better than she did on 2/19, though I was sitting in a completely different spot and very high up, so it could've just been me having a different point of listening.
