In AT08 she had the big ship on the stage during Mirrorcle World. AT09 was famous by the lights effects during the whole concert, specially in Rollin' and Sparkle. AT09 also was different because of those stairs in the middle of the stage, and also the "games" they played in MC sections, haha.
AT10, imo was really epic. The setlist, outfits and the stage built the personality of that tour. And Ayu semmed very happy and energetic.
AT11 - well, there's no need to say - the stage in the center of the stadium and the orchestra was really something different and new. I enjoyed that tour very much!
But I'm not feeling anything new in AT12. For the time being, I didn't see an innovation, different stage or a special effect to consolidate a "personality" of this tour. Maybe when I see the DVD next year my opinion will be different. I think she should have done something new in the stage, like two catwalks or maybe stairs to access the audience, just like a-nation '09.
Take a look at this stage. It's from U2 during Vertigo Tour: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...2005_stage.jpg
And look at this stage too: http://www.google.com.br/imgres?q=am...r:17,s:0,i:100

They're great stages, but they seem small for all the dancers and the band, haha.
I'm not being "demanding", but like I said before, many fans were expecting a surprise in this tour, just like she's been doing over the past few years. Could it be lack of Ayu's time?
But let's wait and see the next concerts!  |
Ayumi is re-using the same basic stage since At05 (the exception being At11)... And thats how it works when u have a new tour every year, if we consider most acts and bands the same size as her would have two or three tours on the spam of time she had 8. Even if she is one of the richest women on asian pop business, stages aren't cheap.
Still, I would disagree about having something that stand out from most of her tours, as the CDL stage was pretty different from her past ones considering both scenary and the band position, also, this tour seens to be her most theatric yet, relying heavily on storytelling, more like a broadway show than a pop concert. At05, At06, At07 and At08 also had some storytelling on them, but they were mostly showed during on the screens... once Ayu got into stage, the story stoped and everything went back to the pop concert format.
Also, she still is using a different aesthetic from her past tours... her outfits and performances for At12 wouldn't really fit any of her past tours...
