^ Hah, I wonder if placement in the venue played into it at all. You were in the seats, right? I was right up at stage, so it's also possible I got more of backing track because there were speakers by my head. That said, it was definitely not as good as 2015, but I didn't find it to have any egregious problems.

And I think she's always struggled with back-to-back performances. I never thought the actual night of CDL 04-05 recording sounded as good as the night before when I saw her. It wasn't hugely different, but I could definitely notice a change on some songs.

Phew, that's good to know! I was starting to think this was the beginning of the end for her.

So sad to read that she struggled with vocals on the second day. All the pictures from the concert look so good, that I'd hoped that this was a great show nobody would've wanted to miss it. I still think that these pictures show how gorgeous Ayu is, and how spectacular her show was. I love the costumes, stage, setlist.. everything! Then it is really upsetting that Ayu's vocals were bad on the second day. But she is doing her best! This shows proves that Ayu is creative and a living legend!

I wonder what was the reason for that in the first place. To let her voice rest a little bit, because she can't do a full show live? I understand why she does that if there's a dance routine or aerial stuff. It's interesting that there were cases when she rehearsed some songs live, but they went with lip syncing in the end.

Her boobs are bigger than her head.

I freaking LOVE IT. i havent watched the show. but OMG this audio gave me goosebumps at so many points?!

Thanks! I wish it were stereo.
They did fix her voice.

^ this was 4.6, right? I don't have the videos to that song but it sounded a lot closer to the version I heard in the arena than the one that I watched online

No, it's pitch-corrected vocals from 4.7.

how do they manage to do this even? she sounded like her throat was totally dehydrated.

Filters and reverb, I guess. I noticed they fixed lyrics mistake at the end of second chorus - these vocals are from somewhere else, but the rest seems to be from 4.7, just edited.

Sigh I hope the covering tracks are from 4.6... It feels less of a lie since it's still from the Saitama concert

I noticed this too :yes great job, editors! holy_arrow also uploaded an AWA rip of this track on the Ayu Downloads page

She sounded so good in 2015, does she just not have a vocal coach now? Or was the one just exceptionally good for her?

She took vocal lessons in L.A with Liz Lewis, but the issue with her voice is that she needs to give her vocals a rest and also her vocal range has changed since debut http://www.voicecouncil.com/wp-conte...re-article.jpg

I went back and listened to Arena Tour 2015 A Cirque de Minuit show I attended. There were many beautiful vocal moments, but there were tons of screaming and usual off-key moments as well, and of course singing out of her vocal range. A Song for XX sounded way worse than in 2013's shows. So in the end I don't know what her coach taught her, as there was not much improvement. I remember Ayu saying in an interview that the coach just said "wrong" when she was trying to sing, and that she didn't really explain much.
I wonder if Ayu is indeed surrounded by yes men, because nobody seems to tell her that she at least doesn't have to scream when she is thanking public/saying something to public, not to mention when she's "singing". No voice will remain the same after straining it like that for years.

It's unfortunate that she hasn't fixed the screaming and off-key moments. People have been speculating her team is full of yes men for a long time, especially during Colours Era

I thought she sounded infinitely better in 2015 as compared to '13. 11-13 were some of her worst imo.

I still believe the amount of screaming most lilely has to do with her hearing...

About the "yes men", do you guys forgot the "lol ayu y u fat" issue? :P

Interesting. Probably depends on what dates people attended.

I don't recall that.
