The youtube link is gone, but thanks a lot for the download

THANKS! Kuu is soo cute, singing to most of the songs. haha Ayu's reaction was so funny. I think she really didnt expect to see herself there HAHAH

editL haha that live performance at the end has been altered too..

Thank you for sharing Leny :)

they talk something about twitter right?

I´ve just saw the talk!!!
Koda knows all the songs hehe!!And Ayu is so cute when her name appears on the ranking!!By the way...What is the ranking about?

I have crossroad on repeat >_<

The ranking is how much sales you have, and she is number 3, and her best seller is A.

Anyways, she talked about her Twitter, and how she likes to twitter. She said the longest that she continued twitting was 7 Hours, when she was coming back from Osaka to Tokyo by car, but mostly everyday is around 1 hour or so. And then they talked about what she twitted about, like what she ate, etc. And then they asked her about the tweet about going running, and asked if she liked running. She said she loves running, and that if she just continues seeing the surroundings around her house, she'll get bored so she runs around the surroundings of the concert place or so.

^ thanks for the brief summary~~ :)
yeaaa I LOL so hard to see Ayu surprised like that..
I think she really got jet lag and didn't actually think that she's gonna be on the ranking LOL~
kawaii!

Thanks for uploading the video ! her voice's so incredible ! love it !^^!

She definitely knew. I mean they did this same countdown before and she was a guest on the show then too, so...

The Crossroads performance was pretty good, I actually kind of like the song now. :)

Thanks for the translation maikaru!! (^O^)

she wasn't above her beloved Southern All Stars then though..
so it's not that she didn't expect to be on there, just not as high.

But then she must've suspected it when Southern All Stars came in at 4 she hadn't been on there, yet.

I believe she spaced out, like she often does on MS. Didn't she talk in one MC about how she doesn't pay attention and makes that blank face a lot? Actually, I want to believe that and not that she faked the reaction, knowing well that she was third and then pretending to be surprised.

LOL at Kumi knowing all of the words and singing along! They're both so cute! I bet they really are friends.

:love

It's interesting to see how high she ranks against people who have been in the music business a lot longer than her!

In defence to the older bands, when you go to the period before the 90s record sales drop a bit. In 1976 the first million seller was released, for example. Someone like Inou Yosui is extremely popular, he just haven't sold that many total copies because of the period he was active in...

Just heard crossroad for the first time from her live preferomance
it gave me goosbumps. It sounds 100% beautiful one of my favorite ballads
EVER so far, up there with BALLAD Hanabi Powder Snow and all of her great ballads XP
Cant wait for the full version the verse is what made this song incredible!

Actually, she was really surprised when she heard she was higher ranked than Southern, because even said "Oh... why is that? I don't know..."

^ As soon as she saw Southern at #4, of course she knew she would be at #3...
But I think a lot of Japanese artists, the majority even, fake surprise like that.

Remember that she got jetlag? she might not really paying attention to the whole ranking thing.. clearly for me she looked tired there..
she might be even forgotten that she was actually on the ranking..
but all in all, fake reaction or not.. we should be glad that she has gone into TOP 3 :)

Yeah, it looked like she was spacing out and not paying attention at all. She looked half asleep to me the entire time.

and one more thing, she looked kinda not hyped up..usually, during talking part, she would just go hype up and so talkative..n her eyes would go so BIG when talking haha XD
but on this, she seemed not like the usual hyperactive ayu lol~~

Thanks for uploading the talk part, poor Ayu looked very tired :( I guess that she's still working on L as well as crossroad's promotions, so she's probably exhausted...

anyway, who ALTERED ayu's vocal anyway?
and what's the purpose?
because some fans from Ayu's taiwan fanclub are mad at me because i uploaded the talking part + live perf vid on YT..
they asked me take it down because ppl will misunderstood of ayu's vocal..
geee..my purpose is to share the talking part where ppl may have not watched it!

They altered it so Youtube wouldn't immediately discover it with their internet spy program which checks for the song in question... LOL

^ yea..that's the purpose right.. I just want to make sure...
but some taiwanese fans mad at me.. ask me to take down...
and I donno what to do~

Why are they mad? If you put description like "Ayu's voice altered so we can watch it forever?" then shouldn't it be fine? I think so...

Don't get pressure!w

^ they are mad because some ppl who might watch the vid and will think that Ayu's vocal has turned that low/bad..
and I just put the description to explain about why ppl altered her vocal..
i didn't put any description before because I just don't want the video to be found through detail description??

Everything about this live worked! Her vocals were great, she looked fantastic (LOVED the dress!), and the stage was beautiful! It was also nice to see her sans her backup singers for once. Nothing against Peco and Princess, but I enjoyed just seeing Ayu and her band (with her band comfortably in the background, and the focus all on Ayu). And, as a side note, Enrique and Yoshio looked really cool in that black pants and white shirt ensemble they wore. Simple, but cool.

Kuu is so cute :))

@ I just realised how hard the song M was @@ specially at the end @@

Yeah, she knows every song, even M. She was singing along~ LOL

And M is really hard, the last part is crazy!

Aha~ Kuu was singing Trauma :laugh It was so cute when Ayu jumped when they called her name XD I loved this perf; she was gorgeous and her vocals were amazing!! :heart

Is there another uploaded performance of this on youtube? Asahi took them all down it seems, and I haven't watched it yet T_T

it's uploaded on tudou :P
