I think u don't know what role do the CDLs have on her career...

Ayu has 3 main concerts during the year, and all of them have an important role on her career:

Arena Tours: Those are meant to promote the album and are meant to attract everyone from huge obsessive fans to casual listeners... She sings the new album singles/tracks and her concert hits. Arena Tours are the most important product of her career, even bigger than her albums and pvs... and as a consequence, they have the higher budget...

A-nation: A-nation is the opposite to Arena Tours... Here, the goal is to promote Ayu among people who aren't really her fans, those who went to A-nation to watch the whole thing or fanbase of other artists... That's why A-nation setlist is mostly made of a mix of her most well known songs, summer hits and the latest single, the stuff someone who is not really into Ayu may recognize and like... If someone who is not really into her watch her here and likes it, she may sell some more singles or even conquer new public to her arena tours....

Countdown Live: Finally, CDL.... CDL are made to her hardcore fans... That's why CDL setlist has the most obscure songs of all of her concerts... If someone wanna see a live of an old album track that she never sang or barelly did it, it will most likelly be performed at CDLs... Since CDL06-07, at CDLs she also put the concept and performances of the next Arena Tour to be tested in front of an live audience... What songs should she recover? What kind of outfit will work? Does this performance works on a stage? It's a mix of concert for people who really know her discography with payed reharshal

At least, this is how I see those... and IMO, she can't just stop doing any of them, cuz they aren all meant to promote different aspects of her career, and aimed to different people^^
