That really depends on what you look for in a concert. I'm not really into Ayu's concerts either... they have some moments that are especially good, but I'm not into stage spectacle. I like the emotional connection between the artist & the audience and I don't get that when Ayu is up in the air or surrounded by dancers, I get that when she's just singing and making eye contact with people in the crowd. But many people, especially pop listeners, prefer the spectacle and find straight-up performance boring, and that's fine. But I find the spectacle uninteresting... all her concerts since ASIA TOUR 2007 kinda blend together for me aside from AT 2009 and POM 2011, and even with POM 2011 I'm really sad we never got to see any shows from earlier in the tour when it was more stripped-down and music-focused.

I REALLY prefer the TV lives because of how basic and music-focused they are, to be honest.
