| Matsuura Aya / Concert Tour 2006 Spring Otona no Namida : 4 of 5 | |

 It's been quite a while since I've enjoyed a Hello! Project concert, and this Ayaya concert from last year was a great way to get back in the swing! I think Aya is probably the most talented H!P performer, combining cuteness, genuine beauty, and an amazing voice into one package (though I could say the same about Abe Natsumi), and she definitely shows it off in this fantastic concert, which took place on her 20th birthday. The show begins with lots of high energy songs (backed up by Country Musume) that look simply exhausting, but the concert soon takes a huge turn - Aya performs several of her hits with solo piano and string quartet, and the results are incredible! She even sings most of Love Namida Iro completely acapella, matching the key perfectly when the instruments join in. I counted five costume changes, ranging from her beautiful blue dress to a simple T-shirt and jeans (but with her spectacular dimples and smile, Aya would look good in anything!). My only complaint with this concert is that the MC segments are much too long - it's good to hear her speak about her birthday and life and everything, but when you combine that with the Country Musume girls chiming in, sometimes you have to wait through 20 minutes of talking to get to the next song! The encore has a really bizarre surprise, when Aya decides to plant her face into her birthday cake and sing the last few songs with icing all over her face. I definitely wasn't expecting that! I really enjoyed this concert, and the beautiful string/piano arrangements make this a performance that I plan on watching again soon!
