Pretty much this. If I wanted to listen to XOXO, I'd listen to a proper Jennifer Lopez song.

Lelio and Pray are the only new songs I'm digging (and it seems Pray got ditched).

Oh, well.

I'm pretty happy with the new songs simply because she's trying something new, and I'm happy she's doing so, but I do agree this is not the "Ayu style" that makes her my favorite artist.
This is probably going to be one of her weak albums for me, but I'm still happy with her effort in making something new, and even if I don't think the songs are awesome, I still find them quite addicting, so I like them all and overall I have a positive view of this album already

I just wish she doesn't keep this style of songs as her default from now on, I don't want Ayu becoming more generic, I like listening to her songs and thinking "this is Ayu" and not "any artist could have release this". I hope she keeps experimenting, but in a way that still has that signature feeling of hers...

People have wondered about the short ending, I was hoping that there would be more than yesterday since there was no delay today, but no. No MC either

I think she will extend the encore with her usual accoustic moment and also her staple songs for the DVD

Well people got to keep in mind, she's mostly stateside now is probably considering expanding internationally (remember towards the end of HLS 2012 tour she had her global fans tweet her and Kayzu of which country and city to come tour with hash tag ABL?) plus she's exposing herself to more mainstream music.

still no costume pictures??

i like most of the new songs, my fave is what is forever love and Lelio.. my least fave got to be terminal, it sounds like a remix song instead of an original song. maybe i just don't really fond of remix/trance music.

So when is the international leg of this tour? xD

At this point I see this impossible even I'd die of happiness if they do just a concert in Europe u_u

I think Ayu knows this as well. I can see what she meant by a completely new direction (for Ayu) with this album she's been working on. I do not think she will ever simply do these kinds of Western-ish tracks, but it couldn't hurt for her to try it at least once. When the arrangements are handled 100% by the producers, the "Ayu" vibe comes from the lyrics and the way it's sung. It's not surprise really that the only songs with the really Ayuish sound on this album are the ones that her team produced.

Judging from some of the crying comments about no Shuya, he was definitely not there.

Looks like she swapped Bold & Delicious and NOW & 4EVA at the last concert. Weird.

LOL she ain't gonna tour anywhere outside Asia. It'd be embarrassingly low-budget and Ayu would look like some flop indie act.

I think it'd be cool of course to see an actual concert instead of a circus show, but she'd absolutely have to scrap the diva image and I doubt she'd go for it tbh.

And I don't know 'bout y'all, but as a veteran fan I refuse to stand next to some weaboo seat filler who only knows "Dearest."

She could do a Vegas ~one night only~ deal with the diva image. Chinese artists do it all the time. Now that she lives in LA basically, I feel like we could get at least one performance in the States.
