I'm looking forward for watching this tour. Yes, it's a lot of performances she already did before, but it must be super cool to watch all those together in one single concert! It truly is a "A BEST LIVE" concert, the name is actually really accurate

It's always a stage with a stair (so she can perform a stair choreography), there's almost always a pole (for pole choreography), the outifits are almost always variation of knee high boots + mini-skirts or baggy pants + sneakers and even the setlist is not THAT surprising. I like some of her tours (Past<Future, Best Fiction, Live Style 2, Live Style 1 sux), but I know I will always see the same thing... Namie singing/dancing with the same style of choreography wearing a variation of something she always wear.
I have to agree, I love Namie, but her tours are barely creative at all... I love some of them (mostly because of the setlist than the visuals), but some others are plain boring imo. Even when people complain Ayu is repeating herself, she is repeating memorable performances that did mark fans before, and that's pretty much why people notice she's repeating, because the first time she did them people were impressed by them and still remember those. For Namie's tours though, very little performances are that memorable that people will complain if she does something similar again (her tours are always similar)...


Musically wise, on the other hand, it's true Namie keeps innovating herself (and herself only, because her songs are getting more and more generic imo), she's constantly changing her songs style (if that's a good or bad thing, that's another story, I personally don't like that super generic pop phase she's in right now). But Ayu's changing as well, if she wasn't people wouldn't be complaining all the time that she should release more songs like her older ones...
