The show is only 2 hours long, short for her arena tours.

Her best tour was in my opinion CdM. Her longest to date, setlist wise.

That's fair. That set list was HUGE. I definitely count it as a favorite as well, but smaller concerts like the Dome Tour and The MY STORY tour are great as well (IMHO, of course). I'm gonna wait to make a final judgment.

MY STORY and (miss)understood ATs are among my fave tours too. Somehow they seem to have had a better flow than this. I cannot shake the feeling they plucked out the whole part of the set list XD

It's nice that Ayu is getting inspiration from art. When I saw her insta's pic I was wondering if she only took a picture in front of the Louvre or if she really visited it as I never noticed that she had an interested for that.

I only want to watch the tour, if the vocals are decent this may be an enjoyable show. That Because of you snipped sounded way better than the last countdown.

The only surprise in the setlist is Virgin Road and I'm not a big fan of the song. I hope she adds a few more songs in the final shows!

Felt reeeeally short. No "wow" moments. Started with a great message, and really strong intro, but then went into a very basic concert. Nothing was bad, and vocals were quite good. Walk in particular. But in terms of surprises, imo, there weren't any.

So, for me, I'm hoping for changes in the set list as it progresses.

In terms of goods, I bought the stick light and the tank top. I do not recommend buying the tank top unless you're quite tall... it's so long! I regret spending the money...

Who cares about the setlist, but how was her voice? Did she as bad as the last time she was on Music Station or was her voice ok?

Her voice was surprisingly great. I think after the CDL, this was a huge improvement! Ourselves was very good. The new version suits her voice well.

Just on the train home now! And yeah I thought it felt a bit short too. Also I got excited because I thought we were getting SURREAL by itself but then the dreaded surreal evolution surreal happened. It has to die .
