ayumi hamasaki Dome Tour 2001 A [Limited Pressing]

I never knew Ayu could put on a great show. From beginning to end, I saw the type of musician she was. Singing hit songs such as Evolution and Surreal, I really enjoyed watching this performance. She is quite a genuine person. A Song for XX was performed with such emotion it sent chills down my spine. I never knew she had such a powerful voice even if it does squeak at certain parts.

All the talk about this concert as one of Ayu's best isn't just empty words - her vocals are incredibly strong and honest to her studio recordings. While her voice was still a lot more high-pitched and immature back when this concert was filmed, she's still up to note and puts her all in her songs. This concert has songs from her older albums and being a big fan of her "Duty" album, I was really moved to see many of my favorite older tracks performed live. She put her soul in her songs and that solely makes this concert worth seeing. Her performance of Duty and A Song For XX left me breathless and crying - it was a very emotional experience. Definitely a must have for any true fan of Ayu's and especially if you like her older songs better.

I wasn't to sure about purchasing this one. I was afraid that Ayu's performance wasn't gonna be good enough, but I got such an amazing surprise! The tracklist is perfect, Ayu's vocals are great, and the whole show is just stunning! I absolutely recommend this one.
