Also, the 10th anni CDL with her adorable bob and schoolgirl outfit was another home run for me.

Dude, the uniform she wore at that CDL was totally hot.
The hipster thing and the overdone cuteness ruined this one for me, but oh well.

I watched the A BEST LIVE DVD yesterday, and when I watched those cute-sy performances I actually got the thought in my head that maybe they're meant to parody the "quirky" and "awkward" hipster/nerd girls-trend. Or maybe I'm over-thinking it and she just wanted a fun and cheery set of performances there.
Anyway, I was a bit disappointed by this tour, to be honest. It didn't feel like it had a consistent red thread (I know it's "BEST" LIVE, but the transitions between different sections could have been a lot better, in my opinion) and as a consequence, it didn't connect to me as much on an emotional (or aesthetic) level. I think I got spoiled by AT12 HOTEL Love songs in those senses, that tour resonated a lot better with me.
