For me it isn't about how many people there are on stage, but that after HLS for me it feels as if her dancers are only there for the sake of being there. I didn't like any of the last tours because for me every one of them felt as if Ayu was desperately trying to bring a second show like HLS onto the stage but without having a real story to tell like she did with HLS.
I would simply wish that she would focus more on the music and less on a big and giant show when in the end the final product feels kind of "empty". Her latest shows weren't about artistry or even music anymore but only about being as grand as possible. Or at least that's how I feel.

That is the exact opposite of what all the post HLS tours were. She never really attempted to do a “story” like show. The fact that she dropped the videos which connect the sections of the concerts kind of proves that as well. CdM was 3 hours of her singing and performing amazingly and Made in Japan was pretty simplified in terms of costume changes as well. She dropped the wigs in recent years as well and held 2 stripped down TA tours. The last tour was also more about the music rather than cool performances and costumes.
