Well I think lotsa people are kinda disappointed or unimpressed because Ayu has been talking about the "NEXT LEVEL" in everything and I was expecting something at least new. She usually will reuse a few things, but this is a lot of the same. Recycled songs, routines, and outfits does not a next level make. Anyways, as long as she sounds okay then I'll be happy and will probably get it.
She does sing the whole NEXT LEVEL album with bringing other songs to context them into the tour's story.
The recycled thing here is mainly the PCDL songs and some of the outfits from there. The outfits themselves aren't next level (though the most important part is the music anyway) but she had a good intension of using them and the routines for most of the people that will go to the tour.
The PCDL just had 2 dates so most people couldn't see those performances and she's pretty generous and thoughtful to bring them (since we really liked them in the PCDL) into this tour.
Everyone is freely allowed to be dissapointed of course, but ayu's job isn't to satisfy us who watch the TV/DVD version of the PCDL and get sick if she does anything from it again nor only satisfy the japanese audience who went to the PCDL since the number of people who saw that are nothing compared to the people who will see the tour. I just don't blame her even though I myself would like to see some better customs. I did like most of the new ones she does look sexy or cute in most of them.
