ayumi hamasaki 15th Anniversary TOUR ～A BEST LIVE～ V

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Even on the first round she had three costumes (same pattern but three models), a full orchestra, a full band, dancers, and she performed in arenas. Doesnt sound too stripped down

not at first. You are thinking towards the middle and end. When she started the concert and for a few shows it was BARE MINIMUM.

And quite frankly just because its in an arena doesnt mean squat.

Of course it was in arenas, because it was planned in arenas, and all the tickets were allready sold. she could have done the same show in a small venue too.
And also in "stripped down" shows she needs a band just as Gackt (to continue the example taht was given before) even if he can play several instruments, he can´t play them all at once.
And I am not gettimg tired in bringing on Limited TA Live Tour, she had 3 costumes, a small stage, her band, i think 2 or 3 dancers and 2 background singers.
So she CAN if she wants to
