I was really expecting something more for this show... seriously The set list was good, and when I heard what concerts they were being taken from, I was interested. But the things that were changed... just... totally ruined it. Except for the red & black version of the ourselves outfit. Equally as cool as the original. But then the lingerie outfit for NEVER EVER and the beginning of A Song for XX? Makes the whole performance feel less honest just because she's not wearing the "everygirl" clothes from AT 2002.

And the WHOLE THING WAS CHOREOGRAPHED!!! NOOOO!!! I like ayu to move like ayu. I don't want her to follow choreography for that much of a show, especially since her music is getting more rock-style, more dark... less... dancey. MUCH less dancey. What happened to ayu learning the guitar? I'd rather see that than dancing. The whole show I wanted her to hold the microphone, move her hands all gracefully and epically, and tap the microphone at the end of every line.

In my opinion, the encore was the only good part of the show. (That was cute, how she didn't mess up Trauma but she DID mess up independent, and before the encore she messed up Boys & Girls and AUDIENCE. Hehehe.) I like to watch her be herself & have fun. But dancing should be reserved strictly for particularly dancey songs. Boys & Girls and such should HAVE dancing... songs like until that Day... should not. (Oh, and for the record, I'm cool with Trauma, independent, UNITE! and Humming 7-4 because they're audience participation dances.)
