I‘m a new fan since November of last year but even I saw how much their 2025 tour got criticized, sometimes more fairly and sometimes less fairly.
But ever since that GMA performance I feel like they massively improved when it comes to live performances; not to say that they never had great performances before (especially considering their encores and year’s end peformances) but on a general note they really did improve over the last six months or so.
The two Osaka shows are great examples of the latter; great live vocals, great stage design, great lighting effects and great energy from the girls.
