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

[Leaf King]

I'm glad to say I like the outfits. I also like the hair. Now I only hope she doesn't go blonde for the tour finale...

THE SCHOOLGIRL OUTFIT IS FREAKING ADORABLE OMG.

I don't think they would have cut money from the tour, people are still going to the shows, Ayu is still doing the same amount of shows she always has if not more..if anything they've cut money from PVs which makes sense as let's face it, her sales are abysmal.

Thats not what I heard from a japanese friend. Ayu is also losing tour fans, as every time there are more empty seats. I read something once which said avex gave free tickets for one of her concerts to some students of an under-avex dancing company

Yeah I remember last year I got an Arena seat, and all the four seats next to me are empty, which is nice to me, b/c I can move around (but not nice for the revenue etc).

It's logical ^^ Nevertheless she is always the second female singer behind Namie with the bigger attendance !

[terra]

I'm surprised, so Namie is number 1? Wow
Namie's image has been very good ever since she made comeback and imo it keeps getting better, so it's not surprising.

Yes she plays more dates like 50/60 & last year the Dome tour was very big ^^ she has a really good image it's good for her !

[inspire_rmx]

the costumes are definitely better than last year HLS ones imo. My fav outfit got to be the one she wore for M. Loving the ones she wore for fly high, SURREAL~evolution and SAKURA as well.

You're to sweet

Ayu doesn't include flames and explosions for one tour and all of sudden avex is cheap, you guys are funny.

Imo none of Kumi's and Namie's concerts have really ever been on pair with MY STORY, (miss)understood, 10th Anniversary or RnRC tours.

I've noticed that AAA's 777 tour had a really awesome stage and that the production of the DVD was handled quite nicely, so I don't think that avex is really going cheap, as Ayu still prolly earns more than AAA~

none says she needs a fireworks factory and boeing dissapearing off the stage together with coperfield. The thing is PoM had none of the fancy tricks, but it had well staged set and great outfits that acompanied that.
With such legendary artists like her I would either expect them to go all the way or make a simple show like they did with PoM. At this point music is the most importaint, so why go half assed with parts of it, i'd rather have no visuals and fancy costumes and focus on vocals and things like that instead of some kind of mess on the visuals departament.
I really am not someone who complains, i'm actually most of the time just shruging it off if i don't like something but at some parts of her works now i just don't know what to think. It just kinda starats getting all over the place, as if they don't know what to grab first, like as if there's no clear focus anymore. *shrugs*
As for me i dunno if there will be any concert that will top RnRC for me, i loved the visuals the costumes the stage everything, things were just spot on perfect to me. The only tour thata will top that for me is just that one i would see with my own eyes in the venue.

Am I the only one, who doesn't give a damn about the costumes? I'm still waiting for a Club Tour or something like that. Ayu+Band, that's enough. I don't need a big venue and special effects. So she has lesser fireworks? Does this make her voice worse?
Really people should stop complaining all the time. Embrace the fact, that she is still in business. THAT is an accomplishment, especially in Japan.
Even if she has some empty seats. Who cares? She still can use the big venues and not just for the final of a tour...
Small venues, big venues, costume changes, one outfit. I take it all
As long as she is singing, I'm happy.
People are just spoiled. She has a tour EVERY year!! Be happy

Besides...come on people, it's hard to make a better tour than RnRC
