Also, I think you're being way too overdramatic saying this album sounds like fan-recorded. I do agree the recording quality isn't great (even her later studio albums haven't been recorded with perfect quality, LOVE again is far from having the best recording quality), but to say it sounds like fan-recording is forcing things way too much.
All I know is that I bought this album and I don't regret not even a bit, this tour's vocals sound amazing, better than her vocals for the past 5 tours imo.

The point is, whether you like it or not, the audio quality on this album is -objectively- bad. It's great that you enjoyed your purchase but to expect people to shell out 3000~4000 yen on something that sounds like a fan recording (yes I don't mince my words, and you would agree with me if you've heard any other live album; feel free to call me overdramatic) is ridiculous. Fans put up with the obvious rip off that was "Love, again" because the music was actually good and I am afraid I cannot say the same for this release when all I hear is what sounds like her singing to a pre-recorded track (seriously, that "M" performance, the backing track was disgraceful).
By "new" material I wasn't referring to brand new songs per se. Even some of her less popular hits would have been a refreshing change. At the very least, maybe new arrangements of her hits. I just refuse to be happy with this release when she has been capable of much better e.g. in PCDL, PoM, even the RnRC tour.
