The opening was fucking incredible, and the end when she gets crazy with the -tari parts all the dancers were pounding on the table, I loved it!

Like it was said, no wow moment, except for Walk which was a nice surprise. It definitely feels like there's more coming! The vocals were pretty good, it's my first time seeing her live but it wasn't much different from what you get on DVD. Warning was terrible though, but it's such a fun song I forgave her ahaha.

I got slightly bored during MNIW/appears, because that's where it really felt rehashed to me, but other than that I'm so glad I finally experienced all those songs live, Fly high and evolution and so on.

I haven't watched the CDL so this might no be new but I found every part really... sexualised ? The costumes weren't exactly covering anything, and most songs had a pretty dark/sexy undertone (the hearts mirrors in NEVER EVER I think are supposed to be windows showing off prostitutes, a guy cleans one at the beginning of the song, or the statue everyone is talking about in the video is actually a demon kissing a woman/angel, can't remember exactly).

Overall: very good concert for me, amazing experience, probably going to be super boring on DVD if nothing changes.

^S~e~S wasn't shortened, I couldn't say for the arrangements though but it didn't feel different (I was too excited, I probably wouldn't have noticed if she did a bossa nova version Ahaha)
