ayumi hamasaki Asia Tour 2007 A -Tour of Secret- "LIVE + DOCUMENTARY" Customer Reviews

I'm a huge fan of Ayumi and couldn't wait for this one to arrive. What a let down! (Through no fault of Ayumi, her dancers, or her band) Her performances were on the mark. Unlike previous videos (and I own them all) that included a separate disk of out takes, interviews, and rehearsal clips, this one interleaves them between clips of her concert. Instead of being able to watch the concert (which is almost as good as being there on her other videos), you're forced to watch the other stuff between songs. It ruins everything. As you might expect, most of the songs she performs have been performed at previous concerts, and while many of the dance routines are similar to those of prior concerts, they're not as good on this one. I can't decide whether to buy some video editing software and create the music video I expected (separating the documentary from the music) or just place it on the shelf with the other videos I never watch. My recommendation is to buy Ayu Museum instead of this one. It's MUCH better!
