Perhaps she doesn't have the budget she used to. I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't. Then again, she has A LOT of money, so I wouldn't be surprised if she throws in some of her own money, too. Of course, she possibly wanted a more toned-down tour with less glamorous outfits and such.
Tonned-down outfits = Better for dancing...

AT10 didn't really had much choreography from her part... This one, based on the reviews and CDL, seens to have a lot more than her usual (AT07/09 level, maybe?)

lol, I don't know.. the past two years have been weird for her.
She did the all glammed out Rock n Roll.
then a toned down PoM... but it seemed to grow as the tour went on...
but maybe I just dont like the theme that much... I need to go back and look at the outfits... i think i only saw them once and wasnt that impressed...

lol They key keychain is adorable. Those were sold out by the second day.

But for the outfits... PoM was meant to be toned down - originally. It was about the music, not the theatrics. By the final shows, I think she felt comfortable enough to add that a bit of that glam.

I'll admit, I wasn't excited about the concert at first. I wasn't too fond of CDL, and I wasn't sure what she was going to do for a hotel theme. The concert, though... it just takes place in a hotel. That's where the theme comes from. The outfits, the songs, the sets... it's not just "oho, bellhop"-type outfits. It's all a story. Welcome to the hotel! Then there are different people telling stories within the hotel. That's what made the concert amazing, in my opinion.

that sounds pretty cool.
It might just be my fandom is waning... or what she is doing in terms of her image is just not appealing to me at the moment.
I loved the new album... I think my personal life is just affecting how I feel about her! lol

But it not being a hotel, but people inside a hotel telling their stories sounds interesting...
It makes me want to see it a little more at least. I still hope for a limited edition or a 7 day final type deal...
that would be a dream come true for me.

I miss her wearing big dresses. In Rock 'n' Roll Circus tour she wore two of them and that makes Deep snow really happy.

There are no pictures of it yet but the Return Road dress is a classic Ayu BIG dress. The bottom is big and round and lights up in the corset and the bottom round section (the entire corset lights up and lace and design throughout the bottom light up) The light changes color throughout the song. The big round section that lights up is then removed for the walk down the runway (the bottom is then the one in the photos) but the corset still lights up. I wish there was photos of this outfit!! There are only photos from the first nights dress which was not the one on the second night and which she is most likely using for the rest of the tour. Think the dress from My Story that starts off round (there is one of those right lol). The outfits for this tour are really quite stunning and the photos don't do justice imo.

And yes the only tshirt she wears is the encore outfit, which you know, shes been doing for quite a bit of time

^Nope that is not it. As I said in that same post, those photos are the first days dress. She updated it the second night.

^She will I am sure. Its really stunning live. the way it lights up and changes colors. She didn't have it the first day probably because it was not ready.

Seems like an alright setlist, as long as reminds me and Return Road are on their I'm OK.

I'm simultaneously happy and disappointed that it's basically a Party Queen tour with the Love songs name... I'm just glad she'll be moving on from the unfortunate circumstances that caused the delay of this tour.

Also, I think I really love what she's wearing for what is probably Return Road
