People keep bringing over and over again that Ayu turned out into shit as a performer on those past years because the keeps performing the same songs over and over again, so, I'm super busy and my brain needed a reason to procrastinate, and I took a look at the setlist of every tour she had during her 2nd decade. I didn't look up into CDLs, A-Nations, TA Tours or random festivals and lives, because I was too lazy to do that and nowadays the tours are where most people will se her performing anyway.

She performed a total of 130 unique songs without counting interludes, what means an average of 16 unique songs per tour, almost a whole concert the size she would perform on her first 10 years.

Per tour, without counting interludes (and ignoring most old tracks from PoM were completely rearranged). I'm also not counting "non classic" tracks that are overplayed but aren't released on the past 10 years (like BoY, mnW, STEP you, etc)
Spoiler:
Arena Tour 2009:
12 tracks from that year
4 underperformed tracks from her first decade
16 of 21

Arena Tour 2010:
12 tracks from that year
1 underperformed tracks from her first decade
13 of 21

Power of Music:
6 tracks from that year
1 track from her 2nd decade
5 underperformed tracks from her first decade
12 of 19

Hotel Love Songs:

2 track from her 2nd decade
5 underperformed tracks from her first decade
15 of 21

A Best Live:

2 track from her 2nd decade
5 underperformed tracks from her first decade
10 of 20

Premium Showcase:
8 tracks from that year

Made in Japan:
6 tracks from that year
8 track from her 2nd decade
7 underperformed tracks from her first decade
19 of 23


What conclusion I take from that? That aside from evolution, SURREAL and Boys & Girls she is always trying to favor "recent" staples over older ones. That ABL aside, +- 3/4 of her tracklists consists of either very recent songs or underperformed older tracks.

BTW, it's very clear she is performing less and less tracks from the same year, but she is also releasing less and less tracks every year, so...
