i don't get why people here freak out SO much over something as little as costumes for a concert. SERIOUSLY. if you went there and her voice was bad and she looked unhappy or not into it i can understand complaints but jfc a lot of you are being drama queens

The title NEXT LEVEL has nothing to do with quality like people seem to think. If Ayu was going to make a statement about quality she would have named the album "HIGH LEVEL" or "LEVEL UP!", lol. It's just a step in a different direction. Musically, yes it was different, and was received with mixed results. It was never Ayu's intention to make some kind of pretentious statement about how awesome the album is, so it's entirely your own fault if you have higher expectations than you usually would just because everything has the name 'NEXT LEVEL' attached to it.
