I know a lot of people are having fun at her concerts, she's still an eye candy, but I can't imagine myself paying full price for her show anymore.

I am more than happy to pay the full price and her concerts are still a lot of fun. It depends on your level of tolerance to the way she sings. Mine's pretty high and I know what to expect. Ayu was never about great vocals and the whole industry is dominated by mediocre singers at best. Also half of kpop acts lip sync their performances and people still pay to see them.

Ayu has always been about great music, fun performances and strong stage presence.

Very good points.
I've always been addicted to live sound: the differencies from studio versions, improvisation, the beauty of someone hitting the right notes... I like a good show as much as anyone, but the vocals and live band are my priority. After attending concerts of very talented vocalists I almost consider what Ayu's doing now to be an expensive fraud. In short, my ears must be pleased.

I understand. It was a huge difference seeing Hitomi Shimatani sing in a bar with just a couple of instruments accompanying her an hour after seeing Just the beginning. Shimatani is a talented vocalist, very pleasant to the ears, still ayu gets me hyped like nobody else 😅

I know Ayu will never be the artist who would do this type of thing but it's one of my secret dream shaha... Her old accoustic/unplugged live versions were amazing...

Part of Me acoustic from CDL is one of the few things I listen to from time to time out of all recordings I made, because she didn't shout and sounded quite pleasant there.
