Hm, those cotsumes are a bit disappointing.
I just like the black an the pool one.
The big dress ha s such a nice shape, but that flower print is ugly. Or better not fitting to such a grand dress.

No I didn't, I really wish I see it. I only read reports and such. Maybe lavish wasn't the right word, sorry. But at least Kuu didn't change, she has her usual mixture. In my point of view ayu went a bit low these past years of you compare on what she did in AT05-AT08. While Kuu based on my observation stays constant to her usual tour formula or tweaked things up but constantly had a kind of similar quality from one concert to another.

And yeah the flower print wasn't nice, I thought those were some corsage but it was printed.

Maybe it's because on the past years she makes high standard (sometimes higher than before) it made some of us expect that this special ocassion would be like the sky pirate ship thing. And without able to witness the concert itself we as usual draw our own conclusion.

Ah, ok, I see what you mean.
I was interested in your opinion, cause there aren't that much foreign fans going to Kuu's concerts as e.g. for Ayu. My friends and me seemed to be the only ones at Saitama!
And you're right, Kuu's tour concepts are pretty much always on the same level, with Black Cherry Final in Tokyo Dome probably as an exception (and hooray, no cute section in JAPONESQUE tour, I just have to add this )
There are also no big changes or finals for her tours, everybody going watches the same stuff.

For Ayu this always was different, I agree. Nevertheless I was surprised to see her Saitama dates weren't sold out, cause I mean, it is her Anniversary Tour and Avex did promote pretty well this time. And PoM Tour was a "smaller" tour in terms of props and co. and a success. But people probably had different expectations back then with all that mess happening...
She still has a big amount of dates though. So I don't worry.

I always thought that was unfair, I mean, people are paying big bucks to go see Ayu, why make one show more elaborate than the other? :/ That just may leave one group of fans with a better experience than the other

That tour was pure gold. If Ayu can give me another tour like R'n'RC, I'd be the happiest kid alive
