I haven't watched it yet but I am really looking forward to the DVD release. Watching the TV LIVES of the CDLs always lowers the impact of the entire concert because the DVD VERSION is so much more polished.

tbh, the DVD versions are better to watch.

TV versions are generally aired live as is and are usually not good examples.. they're there to simulate actually being at the concert, but with some sacrifices [bad audio and mishaps.. etc..]~

just finished watching the tv version. ayu appeared to be more plump than i remembered. maybe it is just me since i have not watched any of her new pvs, cms, etc for more than 10 months. i dun have the time to plough through all the threads here so excuse my asking this question, did she put on weight at the time of her cdl 07-08?

Hahaha
It's so funny when people call Ayu fat when really she's skinny compared to most people
But yea compared to how skinny she was in the past, I guess she's kinda fat now :P
Some people gain more weight with stress, I guess. My mother LOSES them with stress *jealous*

I think she gained weight during september-december of 2007, because on Together When... PV she looked more plumb than usual, IMO, but in glitter/fated she kind of still had her skinny weight. And in AT08 you see pics of her fat hanging over just a little bit in her schoolgirl outfit but I think it's cute that she isn't super skinny. It sets a nice example for anorexic girls etc. :yes

^ Hear, hear! Plus most girls tend to have a little more weight in the belly area and I think once a woman reaches her mid twenties her metabolism slows down, so~

Or it could just be water weight o_o

^what pictures are you referring to here? I've never seen any pictures of Ayu's "fat" hanging over any of her outfits. Please post a picture or a link...

Might be these

In the first you can see it a bit, though she is leaning forward.

In this one too

^And people consider this fat? lol I really don't think that is fat...

Thats not fat at all.

ETA: Srsly, if anyone here thinks that THAT'S fat then you must be the size of a toothpick or Kate Moss.

I don't know if anyone called her fat (at least on this board) but she just gained some weight. Doesn't make her fat.

If Ayu's fat, then I need to schedule some lipo ASAP :/

Looks like she's more toned than fat to me. Muscle takes up space too.

Lets go on a lipo date, the two of us. :dead2

oh, i wouldn't call her fat. let's just say she is more fleshy now in perhaps not at all the right places. given her obsession with her appearance, i am surprised she let it pile on. since the cdl 07-08 was at the start of the year, has she gone back to her usual size?

Listening to the Audio rip from the DVD, I have to comment this even before I finish:

Bold & Delicious live here is HEADACHE CITY OH MY EFING GOD

They really didn't touch up her vocals, all they did was to make Peco and Princess less overpowering and ayu's voice more dominant. She still sounds off key in places.

Best decision on the whole DVD was to mute Peco though, when she does the dancer introductions in the intro to Ladies Night. THANK GOD!

I WANT MY DVD. I have to wait for OS though @_@~ :[

I know! I'm not saying she sounds horrible or anything, but I expected them touch it up at least where it was really off key. Oh well, at least they edited the end of SURREAL. I couldn't have handled that on the DVD.

^Yea she's still off key in songs like Together When, SURREAL and B&D. It's not that bad though, but at least it'll shut up the people who go "oh they replaced her vocals, bla bla bla"

^It's only noticible to me, thus far, on B&D. Oh my god, my ears x_x
