ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2005 A - MY STORY Customer Reviews

Without a doubt this is one of the best concerts or shows that Ayumi Hamasaki had ever performance, this Box Set is really nice, with all the extras is a good chance to see and enjoy backstage the entire cast, I would recommend to buy this set instead the in-between DVDs concerts from Ayu out there, it really worth the price, check it out!!!.

That is the first DVD what I have from her. Good Performance, good music and costums. I think, its not the last, what I will have from her.

Out of all the tons of concerts I've seen in my life, this one stands above them all. Ayu was AMAZING on this tour and the bonus extras are to die for! You'll love this concert's features and Ayu's heartwarming personality. A perfect impression for the first-time Ayu listener. I've never seen such an amazing concert. 5 perfect stars!

As, stated, it's the best concert performance ever since Dome Tour 2001. This release also come with a bonus DVD for all footage and emcees' during the whole arena tour. As usual, the dresses for ayu's performance are always good and admirable. It was made as the grandest ayu's tour ever. The new concert dvd will be release later in this year as usual for every year and I'm expecting the same suspens and the quality of artwork for the new coming concert dvd. Overall, this dvd is a great buy and value for money as bonus features are added and the whole package comes in 3 dvds. 2dvds of concert performance and 1 dvd of extras. The extras on the dvd are really funny and entertaining and really a different side of ayu was revealed. A must for all ayu collectors out there and those who like to watch concert performances.

Everything about this title is way beyond first-rate. It's the best concert video to date from Ayumi Hamasaki (even better than the excellent Dome Tour 2001) and one of the best live performances from any artist. Period. The music is fantastic: J-Pop with a bit of a Rock edge and a complexity of arrangement not normally found in the genre. Ms. Hamasaki's spectacular voice has never sounded stronger and the band, many of whom have toured with her for years, is undeniably solid. But the real genius is the use of the stage, lighting, visuals, costumes and choreography. No expense was spared and I found myself wondering what the stage would do next - it literally became a performer. This "Visualization" of Ayumi's was realized with the help of several amazing artists, including trf's Sam, Chiharu and Etsu. Their influence can be felt throughout the production, especially with the superb choreography executed flawlessly by the dance team. The video is perfectly shot and edited to capture all of the excitement, energy and emotion of the live performance. A triumphant blending of art, technology and music. Highly recommended for all. Don't miss "Ayu" at her absolute best.

This is my favourite Concert from her. I like it because she does a lot of tracks from the wonderful My Story and they really went out on how the whole thing 'looks'. The stage is stunning and some of the effects are outstanding, the Costumes are beautiful. Ayumi shines in this, and puts everything into her performances. The only thing I'd say is that she tends to repeat the same songs from previous albums for every concert she does, and perhaps that are better ones she could consider. This is just being picky, I can't fault this DVD.

ayumi hamasaki's 2005 arena tour is her first album tour, making it a new, fresh way to present her album. Based on the MY STORY, released the previous year, the concert is one of ayumi's most threatrical concerts yet. The set and costumes along with the preformances themselves are attention grabbing both visaully and vocally and together create a memorable package. This is one of ayumi's most developed tours story-wise, each preformance having its own theme and story to go along with. Arena Tour 2005 MY STORY is a definate must-have with its special packaging containing three dvds among which is a special side where the viewer is able to fully experience the concert. Highly recommended dvd!
