ikr :D

Finally saw the performance and, WOW, loved it!
M was amazing, her voice was on point and the stage/coreography were really great.
Last Minute was very powerful, too bad the rockish verses weren't sung. I loved the ending, that's how the song should've ended in the studio version, imo.
And her dress and hair, everything looked amazing.

I hate it x-x

Kudos for Ayu, her voice was on point and yes, she didn't scream this time. Perfomance was good, it wasn't edited right? I mean, they aired at the same time they recorded it? If so, she has done a good job. The outfit was nice too.

ikr :laugh She went from a Japanese pronounce to a kind of American accent, it almost sounds like she's singing "Mauria"

I did not think the performance was amazing. I found her very disconnected with anyone on stage and audience. But, she looked great and I really disagree to any comment regarding her "getting older appearance." She was gorgeous

:shakehead are you deaf or something

Wow. I can't believe how well she sang M.
Last Minute was pretty bad though :(

You can really tell how much her vocals have improved. It sounded like the key change kept throwing her off a bit which is why she sounded off key at some points.

The beginning of Last minute was on point, but when she got to the second chorus and she started screaming it all went downhill. D:

Anyway. I'm looking forward to an HD version!

The performance pushed Last minute to #14 today on Recochoku Daily Singles :heart
and brougth the single to the top again o Recochoku Daily Albums!

Whereas Zutto... is currently #21 on Recochoku and #23 on iTunes

The performance also had an effect on M, the song charted today at #195 on Recochoku

excellent performance. surprise she got it right on for the first time singing Last Minute live on stage.

outfit was great, much like Memorial address

We are so used to the overprocessed vocals that it's hard to realizes how she actually sounds. They get rid of a lot of volume change issues which can make her sound bad.
M was nice. Last Minute was breathtaking...untill the heavier chorus hit lol In terms of a key, she did very very well! and she looked absolutelly stunning!
Overall this was a really good performance from her, something we hadn't seen in a while.

As for her looking like she was a bit dissconected, i think she was just really focusing on the performance, someohow i admire that feeling of her being in her own world, instead of throwing herself around the whole place. It's not "evolution-surreal-evolution" where audience is involved.

Also i love when she goes on stage barefeet ♥

like last year's Kouhaku performance. she really focused on vocals while performing INSPIRE

Yay!!! This is good news!!! :yes
love!!!! ayu!!!! love!!!!

The performace was mostly great!! I'm really proud of ayu as a singer.

What does she said about next year? I heard about Asia? Is it mean another Asia Tour?

Reminder to ayumi, you're 36, not 16 :yes :yes :yes :rolleyes

It has been so long to find a close to faultless tv performance. Like what the rest were saying, no screaming in M and I am so loving last minute!

Can't wait for next year hope, since she has plans for her Asian fans, hopefully they include full concert in my tiny island

Her current voice is lpwer, but ahh it is nice and clear. That led to some issues in the end, but wow its an improvement

I absolutely loved & enjoyed everything about the "M" & "Last minute" performances. :love ayu was truly amazing! I loved her entire look so much. :heart Her hairstyle, her dress...everything was complete perfection & ayu looked super gorgeous! :heart My favorite part, after watching these performances, was the ending of "Last minute". That last "minute" (:laugh) of the performance was just superb! :D Maybe I'm the only one who just loves how ayu sang the last note of the song & finished the performance with such power. :laugh But anyway! :P

ayu totally rocked the MUSIC STATION SUPER LIVE this year & I couldn't be more proud of her. :heart you, ayu!
