They are not all exactly the same, but I guess because of the fact that most of her tours post-AT05 have had very similar themes/elements from that concert, people think that they are.
Ever since AT05, interlude movies and the hanamichi (flower road/runway) have been present at the tours and COUNTDOWN LIVES (after 05-06). There has also been at least a couple of the following in terms of themes repeated since then including: sexual!performance w/ female dominance [male/female dance teams switch off between two or more songs], light-hearted/super-cute performance, ballad section featuring a male dancer prominently, dancing alone while Ayu sings making dramatic motions, and a segment where she sings a new song or two with a bunch of classics near the end of the concert. She also can at times reuse performance elements (ex. Moments -> Pride -> part of Me) from AT05. Also, as of late, tissue performances have been featured at every big live since CDL07-08. (including CDL07-08, there have been five tissue performances) This is just a sample of why people might feel that the concerts have been "same-y" and why most seem to feel that AT05 has been one of her most innovative tours post-DT01 since it was the last time things felt "fresh." From what I can see, the only thing that Ayu needs to do to satisfy those who feel as though they aren't happy with her concerts nowadays is to simply try new things and explore different ways to present her music during the lives. Perhaps strip away the theming that has been so prevalent since 2005 and just perform as she did from 2000-2004? But even if she did do that, it seems likely even that would "get old" with fans. So maybe the problem isn't really with Ayu's concerts, but that some fans are just very picky about what they get from Ayu. (i.e. It would be fine to see the tissue dances at one, two, even three lives! But now it's getting old!)
