Many of the reviews do actually seem to be from fans as they are quite in depth. Also many from people who are former fans as well. But like I said, very few hater comments are there like Hamasaki sucks!!!! or something. btw, yay for Don't Look Back not being directed by Kazuyoshi.

I guess most people's idea of haters are the trolls on her last.fm shoutbox. at least they're entertaining.

Before Sunrise/Sunset, Ayu's average was 4 - 4.5 stars with mostly 4 or 5 star reviews.. Ignore the first You were... one. I checked someone's reviews and they rated Namie's P<F 2/5, Ayu's releases all 2/5, and BoA's releases all 5/5. Obviously, there's a group of antis going around. Ayu never even had 100+ reviews for singles up until Sunrise, so wtf? Why the sudden HUGE increase? http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/cdp/membe...stRecentReview Holy jesus, this person is a Namie fan who rates everyone who isn't Namie a 1/5. Blah. Take that to a BBS, not Amazon! I don't understand why you would want to paint a picture of Ayu being universally disliked when that really isn't the case. That is what these antis want to do. FYI, this happens with ICONIQ and GND, I believe. (ICONIQ because she's Korean or something, and GND because people hate CHISA) It's weird that they all seem to organize on Amazon, but I don't think people in Japan are idiotic enough to be swayed by people who have an agenda on Amazon, haha. My view on this is that most of the reviews of 2/5 and up are the legit ones, with many 1/5 ones being the "filler" ones. If you look at Ayu's past history with reviewers, the trend is normally that there are a lot of 5s and 4s with almost as many 1s as 5s. It's true that some of them are from disappointed fans, but this activity is way too suspicious in my opinion. The thing with Japanese antis is that they are a force to be reckoned with when they organize things like this. The reviews are in depth, but that is because they know how to disguise themselves as "fans". The first step to being an anti in Japan it seems is to constantly be following up on what the artist does even if you don't like them. They basically take anything that could be said negatively about a release and compile it all into one review. Another reviewer who rated almost everything they reviewed 1/5: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/cdp/membe...stRecentReview A Seiko live DVD, three Ayu releases, and an Akina release got 1 star from this person, with the only thing they praise quite a bit being a Shibasaki Kou best.

(I did just see a pretty okay AT09 review of "I'm telling the truth because I love Ayu", but I think that person just wasn't into the tour at all, haha. This one is pretty funny though: "Awful! - I have already said it before, there's no meaning to this production, so don't buy it." HAH.

EDIT: I want to make clear I am talking about those people who gave 3 or 4 stars. They too have many complaints, but they are Ayu fans as well, and say that they will go to see the tour again this year, but NEXT LEVEL was disappointing. And those comments are outnumbering "It's so perfect!" comments. And it goes for most other products. 10th Anniversary Tour has VERY few negative comments, so that's a plus right? The reviews sounds, like SunshineSlayer said, just like Ayumi Sekai. Of course there are haters, but they are very few. Last edited by maikaru; 30th March 2010 at 12:31 PM. |

I was not talking about the AT09 reviews when mentioning the "anti" comments (though some of them are very... uh... fishy.) and AT09 shouldn't even be open for reviewing imo since the DVD isn't even out! I was just pointing out that the CD releases seem to have taken a really awkward dip in "star value" and I was explaining what I thought to be the cause behind it.
I would say NEXT LEVEL's tour didn't really offer anything new to the table when it came to her lives, but I don't think it really tried to. (This year after all was the time she said that the tour is striving to be the best in Hamasaki Ayumi history.) It was a solid set of performances with her "formula" that she's used for the last few years. I think she'll probably change that with Rock'n'Roll Circus' tour, but it's possible she'd just use it again... with what she's said lately though, I doubt it. If I were reviewing it on Amazon, I'd give it a 4/5 or something. Quote:

I watched the TV version on AT09 and I find it quite entertaining.
About the amazon reviewers, It's true that not all of those are haters or anti, but most of them are, most of them probably just heard or saw one clip and automatically say it sucks without even genuinely trying it. |

While AT09 was still a good concert, compared to the last few tours, its pretty lacklusture. I think that's where the critisism comes from. Ayu has a reputation of putting on a show, not just a concert. AT09 was just not up to her usual standard.

i guess it really depends on their taste.i actually find AT09 is more entertaining and enjoying than AT08.although AT09 doesn't has any big ship etc,but at least she's back to basics.like what she said on the magazine .its like back to basic.without any extravagant props etc

Yes even though AT 2008 had awesome performances like MW, Marionette and (don't) Leave me alone, I really enjoyed AT 2009 overall way more.
It had a lot of rehashes but they probably were the best in use (imo). I understand the majority who didn't like this tour much though. I'm very glad I'm getting this DVD in the boxset. |
