She keeps making the show so huge, that she becomes tiny and barely noticeable within it. Sure, the big MW ship was cool, but Ayu herself was just sort of lost in the whole spectacle. ANYONE can stick a huge prop on stage and make a cool show out of it, really - I don't watch Ayu concerts to see stuff that anyone could do, I watch them to see AYU. To see her enjoying herself, communicating her pains and fears, laughing, crying, and being herself. I like to see the pride in her work, the love for her fans, and above all, her personality when she's on stage. I don't want to see Ayu herself take a backseat to all the embellishments. As props go, a tiny teddy bear is, to me, WAY more important than a giant pirate ship.

Couldn't have said it better myself! Mostly because I haven't seen more than rollin' and Sparkle xD; But I always feel a true artist shouldn't need to rely on props to bring forth a great performance. I'm glad this concert was more focused on her performing than on a boat or her flying in the air in a ball. I can't wait to see the full concert when it's released
