Thoughts on ARENA TOUR 2004...

I just finished watching it, downloaded off BT...

It's not as bad as I thought... It had its good performances and bad ones, if you liked A MUSEUM though you'll probably like it... Most of the songs she performed on A MUSEUM and on this tour sound EXACTLY the same, which kinda sucks. But I thought her vocals were nice in the songs she performed from M.A. 'ANGELS SONG' and 'Memorial Address' were excellent performances. The costumes and band were good. I just wish it wasn't so much like A MUSEUM.

My Overall Rating: 6.5/10

Teddy Bear + Memorial Adress were AMAZING. They made me want to cry. ;___;

I wish she had recorded Teddy Bear like that for A Ballads.

I just skimmed through the rest of the concert...I'm waiting for my DVD to come since that DVD rip is HORRIBLE.

i watched the whole thing from beginning to end and just finished. the vocals i thought were pretty good. sometimes she made her voice sound odd, but it was strong throughoug the concert, as i cant stand it when she croaks, haha. the whole arrangement of the performance was a bit boring fo rme, i liked last years arena tour a lot better. overall, i guess a 6-7/10. i loved the tracklist, it just kind of bored me, the set was nothing interesting.

im sorry, but i disliked this concert very much. She wasn't very well in some songs, and A Museum was more fun and "into it", i didn't like the anime voice she used at times on old songs but i guess she was trying. Peco totally messed up the vocals too, SURREAL didn't sound like SURREAL anymore

I liked A Museum wayyyyy better!

I watched it yesterday ahaha I gotta say that :

-Her Memorial address performance was perfect!!! I got goosebups when I saw it, you could even think she was lipsynching but obviously she wasn't as she gasps and stops singing a part of it when she starts crying.
-Her ANGEL'S SONG performance: the song was spoiled. the tempo of the song was not right and I think because of that ayu vocals slipped a bit. The dancing and thematic was cool though.
-I loved her Greatful days outfit, the coolest one she wore!!! Not to mention the GD performance was excellent!
-Her Real me performance was excellent and flawless, she sang it perfectly and even danced exactly like in the PV.
-Moments sounded like the studio track. The la la las were perfect
-Unfortunately I was not too pleased with the No Way To Say performance...seemed to lack a bit of emotion....they rearranged the instruments and her voice was a bit weird.
-Fly high, UNITE! Trauma, independent - unfortunately it is already time for her to remove those songs off of her concerts, it's getting repetitive.
-eww those clowns had too much details in my opinion.....

In my opinion I thought this was a very good concert with a lot of good stage effects. One of the reasons why I liked this concert was because of the teddy bear and Memorial address performances.. they were amazing.

I thought her song selections could've been better.. but overall her vocals were great and it was a good concert.
