Iirc, the song wasn't for him, but he listened to it on his deathbed and wrote about it and I think Ayu started to associate that with him. She never actually gave a reason for cutting SAKURA, but this seems to be the generally accepted conclusion.

I sorta agree, though the past two years - with HLs and more obviously PoM - diverged significantly enough, and her going going back to the usual fare for this tour doesn't perturb me that much, this being a "Best" tour. Part of me kind of likes the formulaic way Ayu's concerts work - I love comparing all her different "cute" sections and all her different "ballad" sections and it makes even the smaller changes more exciting, as well as all the callbacks. Idk, formulaic or not, Ayu's tours have never been boring.
