Just watched CDL2016-2017. Gosh, what is happening with Ayu's concerts at the moment? I know they've been visually opulent for a while now, but everything just seems so messy with her hoard of dancers and very 'hit and miss' vocals???

I compare it to her earlier concerts, and the magic just seems to have...gone? Perhaps as her earlier concerts didn't exacerbate her 'flaws' (like her dancing - her dancers are great, but she herself stands out as 'awkward' in contrast to their skills- and not the endearing awkward that she portrayed in concert years ago) as her current ones do.

I don't mean to be a downer - I liked A ONE, and I liked MIJ, but it feels like Ayu isn't really...focusing on her music at concerts anymore? It's like, it's the visual performance that is important, and her music is simply a backtrack.
