I really enjoyed watching it. Her voice was really good.. and the show also.
But.. she sat more than usualy.. I think. But.. I think it is ok. Maybee it is because of she can sing better, when she don't walk around the whole time? Party Queen and How beautiful you are are really good songs. So.. it was a really really greate show, in my Opinion. |

I've just started watching it, and I love the stage.
Spoiler:
However, I don't like the silver dress--Ayu's cleavage draws too much attention.

It seems for some reason this show really does come across better on screen then actually in the arena. It probably is because of camera angles and closeups; you don't get to see the whole stage, you can focus just on Ayu - but if you were seeing the whole stage from the audiences perspective, she kinda got lost up there. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the broadcast of the show more, because I think I'll enjoy it more. |

The way I saw it, it was kind of like Ayu was narrating the stories being told by the dancers ... but that is probably a big no-no in a SOLO concert for a SOLO artist. I wonder if that's what HOTEL Love songs was going to be like to begin with?

I absolutely hated this concert, and for the first time I couldn't wait for it to be over. Idk if it was because I disappointed with the show/costumes before even watching or what, but I just know and that Ayu can - and has - done better than this. The costumes weren't all that impressive, and although Ayu's singing was decent, it was overshadowed most of the time by her background singers and lack of energy.
Spoiler:
Highlights: -I never thought I'd say this, but Happening Here! -MOON -November -how beautiful you are and encore

I do not see this 'lack of energy' at all. I thought she was the same perky overly dramatic-at-times Ayu that she always is.

I thought this about A LOT of the choreography -_-

^ Yeah, I thought that during the concert too. If you are going to highlight the dancers so much, they need to have amazing choreography and it's just not.

First of all, this stage is AWESOME.
My full review: Spoiler:
Overall I think this will become one of my favorite CDL's that I'll continue to watch again and again because seriously, her energy was amazing and she really didn't have many vocal problems. I also love this setlist. Her outfits/hair were a lot better than the last few years. I can tell there was a lot more thought behind performances this time as well. I really enjoyed this concert and will definitely be looking forward to the DVD release! |

loooove the stage~! It looks so fun, but Ayu does blend in with all of the dancers lol
I'm beginning to think she's sitting down so much because the choreographers didn't do their job, but oh well~

I thought it was a pretty good countdown, could see the hotel theme throughout and she had a lot of energy, but at times there were just too many dancers. Also, I don't know if she really needs all 4 backup singers. Loved the ballad performances!

I have the feeling that there are a lot of positive reviews suddenly emerging on here is due to all the negative comments from people who saw the shows on the 29th and 30th, and we all just naturally lowered our expectations. It wasn't her best show, but it was still incredible.

I wasn't able to stream because I was celebrating New Year with friends and family so I had to download and watch it. (Made possible because of Aderianu, thanks again!)
Positive: Her voice (I LOVED her voice in fated), her appearance, some costumes, she brought her lively song sparkle back, she actively went in a few dance sequences and the stage was awesome! Negative: Timmy (wtf, is he doing there? I can understand that he was a part of 'Happening Here' but did he really need to contribute his voice to songs as Moon and Sparkle? NO, I really did not like that the camera concentrated on him sometimes as if he was the only backup singer...), too much backup singers (I felt like they overpowered ayu. I loved them during 'do it again' though), her short hair and the poor tracklist. I would love to hear songs as M, Surreal, Depend on You etc. I didn't mind that she sat during 'Sparkle'. I really got demotivated because of the reviews posted in the other thread. I'm never going to read reviews again lol. I think that this year's CDL and previous year's were the most disappointing CDL's, to be very honest.

I may not like the show really much but what is the most important for me is artist's vocals. Ayu managed to surprise me and did very well this time - her vocals were pretty decent. That's what made me very happy about this CDL :-) So I've got only few complaints:
All that random dancing in Love Song was a great way to ruin this very special song. Happening Here looked more like a gay parade which was hillarious, weird and OK at the same time LOL. And it also made me finally realize that Timmy was that "woman" from Brillante (I'm still in doubts though :-)). Too much sitting was strange for Ayu concert, but at least it was OK to see her like that for a change :-) Weird costume choices...well, I guess it's easy to get used to, watching other Ayu concerts.
