ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~ setlist and pictures [II]

[jierarudo]

there've been reports/comments/postings from fans on how the stage is so simple this year, how boring they think the costumes are, but in my opinion these people are forgetting that we've got a BLOODY RECESSION going on.

every. single. industry is affected. and the music industry's definitely not spared too.

budgets have to be cut, costs have to be be minimized - in fact i'm wouldn't be surprised if she didn't do an asian leg this year because the costs would simply escalate.

also, i think people around this forum should stop complaining and whining that the tour should have been done this way, the songs should have been included this way, or the dresses should have been worn that way.

if you've not been to the concert with ayu dancing live on a stage in front of your very eyes, then i think you should reserve your comments AT LEAST until you've seen it. seeing a concert live is very different from just reading reports on them.

I don't think so. (about the recession) lol It's sort of like fashion you know...Yeah the industry is going on, yes they acknowledge it, yes they give you advice to buy investment pieces...but...do they lower their prices? No. Do they start using cheaper materials? No. Are any of the runway shows and campaigns less grand? No.

Besides, Ayu has a lot of fans here that have been fans for a long time. Some people have come to know exactly what one of the her tours will be like after reading just the reports. Especially in the recent years where her tours are getting more and more recycled. Most everyone here has a knowledge of Ayu that allows discussion.

Besides, if we didn't discuss these things, these threads would be totally boring and so would the Ayu forum. A lot of people have made very good comments on all sides of the discussion, I wouldn't want to stop that just because people think we should be quiet until the videos come out.
