Apparently a lot of Japanese fans think this is her worst CDL ever which means AHS should love it.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Wow how are people not spazzing out over Party queen. It's just so AMAZING. It's like Sparkle, Hold It Against Me blended together and put on steroids.

[Earth_maiden]

hahaha, thats pretty much how things go.

why do the JP fans not like it? a friend told me they didn't like it a lot too, but i'm not really sure why.

[isthisLOL?]

^ I was wondering why the audience was so...dead during this concert :/

Usually 2-3 days after the TV broadcast, but it's on the 2nd of January this year. We'll see if someone uploads the ustream, I uploaded 3 songs to the downloads section so far in MQ.

Why do Japanese fans not like it? I am guessing that because they had such a high expectation earlier this year (before things changed into PoM), and you know, if you had more expectation you tend to be more disappointed. Also I am thinking the title "HOTEL Love songs" makes it "sound" very interesting, but it may have turned out to be not as interesting as people would have had in mind. Just my guess.

All in all, though, I enjoyed MOON and November a lot. The show could have been better if the costumes had been better. I don't like some of her outfits.

[ohsixthirty]

^yeah...but i think all things considered the "show" was actually a little better than most CDL's are. i dunno, i never expect grand amazing stuff at CDL.

maybe they will like it better after seeing today's show.

For some songs they were, but I noticed in some others there was...no shouting, no movement...Ladies Night for example, I looked into the audience and they didn't seem to move.

[owlflight]

If I were there, I'd be jumping and screaming my head off for everything. I need to see her live someday.

[ExodusUK]

This year hasn't been too great, a lot of vocals fans didn't like manny, five, a-nation, music station and now this. Roll on 2012...

[ayuuk]

I seem to remember in the past CDLs, before countdown there is usually a video clip about what Ayu has done in the year (like tours, rehearsals, etc). I was wondering why there's no clip that shows Ayu's 2011 this time...

[*hearT_Place*]

I...kind of agree that it was one of her worst CDLs, but that doesn't mean that it was BAD by any stretch of the imagination. Her concerts are always of such a high-quality that "worst" for her is still light years ahead of a lot of other artists.

I'm sure for the same reasons that most of the ahs fans that went and posted about. I'll have to watch the broadcast version to see if it does indeed come across better than actually being there.

[saigodansu]

The broadcast view wasn't as cut off from seeing Ayu while she was sitting or standing in the background for her hotel room scenes, I think that's the main difference. Being in the stadium, especially near the back of the gymnasium I can see why alot of people would be upset with their view. Even in D-block for the RNRC final I was trying to watch her without the assistance of the big screens whose views are not always on her. I think going for the musical approach had her relying too heavily on the camera view to see her instead of being close the audience like POM. As much as she loves musicals I can understand her going for this type of show, but with her fan base not liking her being farther away or sitting, she might lose some ticket and dvd sales.

Nah crowd was very into it, like usual. I was there all 3 nights. Im still bewildered that everyone knows and remembers the MY ALL dance.
