Yeah, kinda agree with everyone... The tour looks stale, based only on pictures anyway...
She really needs to hire new people, new stage designer, new costume designer, new makeup personel, new hair stylist, new dancers, new musicians... I want her to replace the whole team to be honest, but unfortunately, the chance of this happening is nil...

Thank you for calling me idiot... I'm so glad I don't talk like you do... Anyway, I'm not basing my opinion only on the pictures, I'm thinking about all her tours starting from My story and on (POM the exception)... Almost everything stays similar year after year, the main stage and the circle stage, the costumes, the song selection/arrangement, the dance routines... I want to see creativity, i want to see something fresh, something different... Is that too much to ask?

I also wish for the same thing from her, a new fresh thing that she may later substitute to change her current touring formula. It's not much but with the fact that she performs every year, it's not that easy to change things. If she's the one deciding about the stage, costumes and such then she needs new inspiration.

The choreography changed A LOT since AT12, but people were way too busy complaining to notice. About the stage, I don't think people over here has much idea of how much is costs to produce a whole new one for every tour.

Even global stars use parts of stage used before by other artists.

i personally never had a problem with her stagewhy is everyone so obsessed with that really? as Andrenekoi said those things cost a LOT of money to make, i am sure even more expencive if u want something specific. i'm not sure what people are excpecting with stage sets...*shrugs* Also she has veteran musicians in her team if i were her, i would no way let them all go. Also concidering the fact that they became a family to her. As for choreography i never had a problem with that too... all the dancers were doing a great job in my eyes. The only thing i always have a problem is her and dancers costumes. I mean lok at POM the concept of the whole thing was so simple, no pompastic props or tricks, everything was supper simple, but i think costumes were what made it half of them were not fr my taste but they worked brilliantly with everything else, she was shinning instead of the stage or props overwhelming her.

It's not that I want everything to change, I should've phrased it in more detail. The one thing I can see she changed is her costume and to some extent her stage. She had about 3-5 stage type I think until today, and she mainly use the usual single catwalk and round stage end thing. I was wondering if she could change it into two catwalks instead with the same end like MDNA's or have anothe AT04 thing with 3 catwalks. As for her main stage, no complains in particular. Costume...as I said earlier she could've done better than what we see so far, PoM finale is much better but maybe we should wait until final show of the tour to finally conclude her costume.

Dancers, Choreographer, Band Members...nah she even didn't have to change Peco imo, adding Timmy was weird I guess nonetheless maybe she thinks it's better to have male voice in the background too.

If there is a thing of her I really can't complain about is the tours. Every year the costumes are amazing, and her creativity is shown in little, beautiful details. In the last three years we had three of the best tours ever, imo (R'n'R Circus 7 Days, PoM and HLS). I think they are so amazing because they rely almost completely on Ayu and her vision, I guess in the tour she's in charge, and has the chance to speak her current mind through images and concepts (which is, for me, the thing she does best, that's why she's a great lyricist).
I really don't share the compaints about their static, for me they're all very different and specific every time!
And I learnt to never dislike from costumes pictures and setlists only, because she proved me wrong too many times!XD The setlist is short, but amazing, and I kinda like all the costumes, so I'm looking forward to see it! <3

Usually I'm all for attending the same tour multiple times, but this tour... I'm just not so into it.

So I hope if there is a continuation in the Fall, we get news of it before Yoyogi. In that case I'd just wait until Fall. Otherwise I have to decide if I want to go in July. >_<

I don't know why people hate Timmy and his clown face so much. I feel comfortable w the new band members, bc first, Peco is gone -_____- she helped ayu a lot, but ugh those "dance" moves she made during the concert is totally irritating. Secondly, Timmy has great vocal :O and about the dancers, I just wish she would have a little more songs that she sings alone, like in HLS, the only song she was singing alone was Missing -__- and in CDL12-13, it's only Together when.
I usually joke that her dancers' costumes cost less than that big giant curtain she has in the show XD It's like their costumes are made out of the remaining fabric of HER costumes XDXD

Be prepared to pay upwards of 40,000 yen for a really good seat.

In the latest TA entry, ayu expressed doubts about extending the tour, so it may not extend into Fall...

And according to TA updates, this tour doesn't seem to be doing well at all... Like many of the shows so far seemed to have trouble selling tickets.
