As much as I love a good performance of IT'S SAD, I would either omit that with something different or at least move it to a later part of the set list. I mean, it's been the second song in every set list since 2008 (perhaps even 2006, because I think the US portion of the FAITH tour had a set list with a similar layout to VAMPS LIVE 2008). I mean, it's a great song and especially great live. I continue to watch the VAMPS LIVE 2009 performance of it over and over again, but if it's going to be the second song all the time, then the setlist becomes inevitably predictable.

I'd also remove COUNTDOWN (which is also an amazing song) with HELLO and switch HUNTING to take place before that. Next, I'd replace SEX BLOOD ROCK N' ROLL with HIDEAWAY. TROUBLE could be replaced with EVERGREEN or JESUS CHRIST. Finally, I think I'd replace MIDNIGHT CELEBRATION with UNEXPECTED as I'm sort of tired of the former.

I'm actually sort of disappointed in the set list. I was hoping for an all new experience, not the same exact thing but with the new songs filled in the blanks. I am, however, glad to see they've started performing 20 songs instead of 19. Even numbers are so much more pleasing to the ear.
