Thought on ARENA tour 2006 (miss)understood?

[Yukitora]

I don't know what's up with everyone. This tour pwns last years!

Am I the only one who thinks AT05 is just a little too boring? Maybe it's because I've watched it a billion times, but theres almost no energy in the performances which gets especially tiring during the ballads. Especially as none of the stages had any astmosphere to them, and the intro vids were just sleeping pills in disguise... and then the lighting... >_<

out of last years performances, the only ones I can still watch with interest are HAPPY ENDING, INSPIRE, GAME, my name's WOMEN, HONEY, Boys & Girls and STEP you. 7 out of 17 (full songs) is not very much...

IMO, AT06 beats out 05 w/ no competition. but they are both excellent tours with very different feels. For some reason, from CDL04-05, Ayu's shows just vastly improved... She sure knows how to put on a show

[truehappiness]

It's all individual opinion I guess. :<

I personally love all her tours each as equally as possible. [except maybe A MUSEUM. It fails because of the hair, but content is love ]~

Yup!

I should edit my post to make it seem less 'in your face'.

I don't know why though, but AT03-04 seems so inferior in quality....

[truehappiness]

I'm guessing it's because of the lack of amazing HD cameras used during AT05/AT06.

AT03-04 was filmed the way that CDLs usually are..

By reading trough the stuff from the weekend I really m,ention taht everybody expected to much...anyways I think its great and her voice sounds much better now..I heard Live performances from 3-4 years ago she couldn´t even sing there! the intros are so cute (especially the lone before STEP you) ...the only thing...she could have performed more songs (may 3-4....classicals like surreal and trauma...they always greta live...and fairyland should have been there too) anyways its as good as AT05....the only difference is which album you like more....

Am I the only one who didn't like the concert at all (I haven't seen the encores, yet)? I think it was pretty horrible at times actually (that's just my opinion!), and I'm really sad about it.

Well, all the outfits were really.. tacky (Pride! O_o). Is this LOVE?/(miss)understood outifit was probably the only one I liked. I got really tired with Ayu being cute (or annoying maybe?) during STEP you and Ladies Night. I kind of like is this LOVE? (it was definitely the best performance in this concert, so far), but don't you think she's exaggerating her moves a bit? It's so dramatic and doesn't look natural at all to me.

I know this isn't my thing at all, but I just wish there would be a bit less acting. I don't need all this stuff when it's AYU on the stage. :)

I didn't like AT 2005 that much at first either, but it is better now after seen hundreds of times. I guess there's a chance for this one too, and I think I will like the encores at least. I hope they aren't ruined with some weird stuff. :)

Seems a lot of people prefer lives where they concentrate on only the music, and not promoting the music with crazy light shows, clothes and dance performances. Like any given rock concert. I love those kinds of concerts too, but Ayu's just something out of the ordinary, and I love it.

Didn't receive my DVD today ;-;

I only listened to it. Vocally she was off yet again.

The only song she was on with was Rainy Day.

Its not just the visuals that made me dislike this concert. I prefer any CDL to an arena/dome/stadium tour.

Kyahhh xDD Mine Copy comes next Week <333

Me neither, and I was really expecting to.

[immel]

Mine could arrive next week just as well... but I'm really hoping for it this week... maybe tomorrow? <3?

[darc_aqua]

I was finally able to track where my package was and it is still in tokyo's post office. I guessing it got shipped today. I guess I'll get it at the end of this week. I guess its safe knowing I contributed to the number of her sales.

[chocopockymaster]

My copy came today! <333

I'm too speechless to really say anything about it, though. ;;^^ I'll rewatch it again tomorrow and post more thoughts. All I have to say right now is...WOW. O__O

And I was supposed to be there, too...*cries*

^I'm impressed that you finally let it pass AT05 .

I WANT MY DVD.

[truehappiness]

Wow, was AT02 that weirdly theatric? I guess it was because of the terrible editing.. :3

I think I'd place AT03-04 a little lower on my list and DT01/AT05/AT06 around the same level .. :B

It wasn't just all the weird theatrics, it was also the editing and Ayu's voice. I'm not a big sucker for perfect vocals, but her voice did bother me a bit in this concert. I still like it a lot, just not as much as the others.

Why does everybody hate "ARENA TOUR 2002"? It's my second favorite, right after "MUSEUM TOUR"!

ARENA TOUR 2002 had...

- The most amazing intro video thing.
- The cool outfits!
- A very awesome version for "ASFXX".
- Some cool backstage footage.
- A few unplugged performances.

[truehappiness]

I think the unplugged performances at the end are like, why people love that concert.

The majority of it is sort of '...huh.'
Like the fuzzyhair Ayu with the hat.
