At the beginning of the show, I was mildly disappointed...she was clearly lipsynching Energize and a few other songs, I think I've kind of reached my limit with the oh-no-I'm-tormented-over-Shuya thing, the fake emotion was too over the top to handle sometimes, and then she was acting kind of...crazy (especially during rollin')...and I thought "What the hell? She's completely jumped the shark. She's lost her freaking mind." Looking back on it I know it was just her having a lot of fun, but not gonna lie-- there was a period of time where I was standing there dumbfounded, wondering what was going through her head.

Thank you for your review. I remember you really liking her tour last year so its nice to see when someone can actually recognize the flaws of something instead of just totally gushing. Hopefully this means that the people who believe she lip synchs won't be so attacked in the future when it has been made so clear in many reports of this tour.

I was planning on seeing the same concert date as you, but unfortunately I had to push my travel date back a week. (now I'll be seeing Morning Musume's tour instead again)
