Ayu's so inconsistent. In the acapella of her upcoming single her voice is super hoarse and dry as Sahara.

Dreamed a Dream doesn't sound that bad though. Her worst moments were probably during POWER of A^3, where she could barely even get her voice out compared to this and DaD.

Omg, when are we gonna be able to watch the whole thing?

Probably will be a while. Chinese fans ripping that part of Ohia no Ki means they probably do have it but it won't be out from them. Otherwise it's just waiting till someone bites the bullet to rip from Abema either with secret methods or the ghetto "record as you watch" kind of thing with a screen recorder or something.

I initially thought the verse in Dreamed a Dream sounds robotic and heavily autotuned (which probably true), but then I remember that in POWER of A^3 she managed to hit a lot of the notes perfectly when she wasn't screaming (e.g. verses of Duty and walking proud).

my impression was that her voice sounds great in Dreamed a Dream, especially since she can comfortably sing the shouty chorus. Meanwhile in オヒアの木 she seems to struggle at places, leading to my suspicion that her voice is irreparably damaged.

she's a well-trained and competent vocalist but her voice always gets strained with exhaustion due to non-stop strenuous performances.

Which VPN you used? I tried like 10 and didn't work :(

@truehappiness @Koumori I was also asking this question. What specific VPN service did you use?

the setlist is fierce! I'd love to watch a web-rip T_T

I really wanna check the whole show 'cause I got a feeling that the fact that there's no audience prevents ayu from the usual "screaming to the public" thing, probably helping to keep her voice alive until the end of the concert.

Apparently during a bit of the concert, she got a bit too into it around the Startin' section onward but then wrangled herself in later during Love song.

On one of the concert commentaries, Timmy mentioned that he sometimes has to rein Ayu in or else she gets a bit too excited and also starts to scream vs. sing.

I used windscribe to watch it, still trying to figure out how to rip it.

^ You'd have to use a screen recording software like OBS or streamlabs obs. The latter tends to record sound just the way it plays while a regular obs can make it a bit flatter (in my case at least).
From what I've heard I love it to bits ^^

interesting. can you elaborate what he and ayu said in this regard? I didn't see the commentary show and don't know whether I will.

Ulfy mentioned it in chat but it must have been during the CDL16-17 one or the AT15 one.

All that was mentioned was that he has to cue her to slow down due to hype occasionally.

thanks for the rip, Koumori! really appreciated.

her voice was very hoarse on monochrome but I really like that she performed it. overall she was very controlled and I really love the setlist and the stage setup. nice way to get back on stage!

^ I thought she sounded good and consistent throughout the show. End roll sounded way better than in 2010 when she butchered it to pieces. aeternal and Ohia showed that she can still control her voice quiet well.

I really didn't find it quite hoarse tbh but I didn't mind it, she FINALLY perfomed the song after years and I have NO complaints.

No rearrangements and no dancers flailing around, I literally cried and I'm so happy with it!

You mean 2015?
