It was definitely more than 5, or they must have been extended in some way, because I counted 8.
The stage was cool but sort of lacking in inspiration because it was all "circus theme" which was already done in 2003 and by Britney Spears in 2008. I was sort of disappointed to see this theme re-hashed againn after so many other artists have done so (Britney Spears, Pink, Katy Perry, Madonna, +) but I did have a lot of fun.
The only thing bringing this concert down was the 8-9 ballads in the middle of it destroying the energy of everyone who went to dance and have a good time. None of it sounded good and all the Japanese people looked miserable during these songs. Other than that everyone seemed to be having fun. But 8-9 ballads in a row is really unnecessary and no one seemed to be having fun during that.

First of all thanks for the nice review! Though I cannot see this ballad thing... From the setlist we got the "ballads" are only Zutto / Last minute/ walk / forgiveness / progress, and of these one only three (zutto/walk/forgiveness) can be considered "proper" ballads as last minute and progress have very rock elements to them! Unless she cganed the arrangement to make them sound more mellow, but I doubt that... plus japanese people are suckers for ballads, I find it hard to believe they would have fallen asleep lol!
