Currently watching the tour on Youtube.

The first thing is, I'm quite disappointed by the intro.
Tasky is such a good tasuku intro, that would deserve a better intro video : this one isn't japanese at all, and not rhythmic enough (related to the music...). It's a bad 3D intro, even Amuro's intros are better !

Then, the FLOWER performance is a big no for me, unfortunately..... The song is so dynamic, progressive and rockish, and Ayu is just there "Hey look at me, i'm in a flower basket, being angry ! "
That performance would deserve a better mise en scène. I'm not complaining about Ayu doing nothing in a scenery, but I'm into it only when it's well-made. Mirrorcle World @ AT08 is a perfect exemple : Ayu is literaly doing nothing during the first part of the song, yet the performance is enjoyable because the props and scenery is well-made, and well-introduced (with the video and the big white drape).
