Her tours aren't spontaneous. It's almost as you seen the whole performance before it even starts. What I'm trying to say is her tours are too expected. I always expect Ayu to be in an over-the-top costume dancing with 54354 people wearing all sorts of costumes. When a blalad comes on I expect her to be sitting or hanging from the air with a long flowy gown.
Ayu should go rockstar. Do whatever she wants then stage dive  |
hahaha. I actually kind of agree with you. Because in my eyes, Ayu doesn't NEED the huge extravagent costumes and sets to make her tours good - artists like Britney, Madonna, XTina etc DO. But I've always felt that Ayu's best, most crowd grabbing performances have been when she is doing the more stripped down rock songs, not the ones that relied on some elaborate set design.

Maybe I would preffer an Ayu concert, but I have to admit Madonna's concert are MUCH bigger and Ayu concerts are TOTALLY influenced by Madonna's past tours. Her Arena Tour 2002 was pratically a mini-version of Madonna's 2001 tour.

I must say I disagree. Growing up I was a huge huge huge Madonna fan (and still am, mostly a fan of her older work though.) I've got all the Madonna tours on dvd and several bootlegs and in terms of the whole package meaning everything from sets to costumes, to atmosphere, vocals, the songs themselves, stage presence and performance ability, I still would pick Ayu's tours over Madonna's. Maybe if we were only talking about the sets and costumes, Madonna might maybe win, but not as a whole package for me.
