It would have been nice if she wore something more couture and less catholic school prom, but everything else was awesome.

Awesome job Ayu!

love the dress and performance. indeed a flawless performance. its fresh seeing just her on the stage and singing her heart out

Perfect performance. She sounded so good, her emotion was pouring all over and she looked divine. This really elevated Ohia no Ki for me.

She sounded lovely! Very good performance for sure.

The dress was beautiful, it looks very much like Vera Wang's Organza Rosette wedding gown, but fuller.

She looked and sounded amazing! I hope there's a download link later.

thank you for the link. I'm absolutely floored. yes, it's most likely due to it being a pre-recorded performance with editing beforehand, but it's still an impressive feat of vocal control from her.

and she looks MAGNIFICENT. I'm a sucker for her humongous dresses and this one definitely included. also, I couldn't make out a pregnancy bump (probably because I was too focussed on her voice and everything else in this performance.)

lastly—so happy to see the band! when I spotted Yusuke at the piano I legitimately squealed :luv2

That moment when you hate that Japanese music shows have shortened versions of songs.

She sang it full. There's a second video on Twitter (the time limit for each video there is 2:20) with the rest of the performance linked below.

Oh, thanks! I didn't look below.

She didn't have to SNAP like that omgggg it was amazing ! So happy to see her on TV ! And thank you @koumori for the link !

WHAT AN ETHEREAL FREAKING GODDESS

the back part when the music picked up was OMG...PERFECT!! She was singing normally and not in that extremely controlled way and it sounded like the old days :D

The performance was amazing. She sounds very good.

She's Trending Topic right now on Twitter (Japan) most comments are positive, they really liked the song and also are praising her beauty :love

This performance was so blissful and gentle. I loved everything about it, from her dress to how softly she was singing.

I feel that this shows how much effort she invests to do better, to sing better, to remain on the stage that she loves so much :heart

I admire her more than ever. A wonderful woman :love

A really beautiful performance.

I love how humble her demeanor is, despite the lavish attire and strong vocal.

At her core she’s able to transmit raw, real and human emotion, and the heightened visuals don’t distract from that ー rather they work well to merely enhance the magnitude of what she very organically transmits.

She feels so natural here. Feels like the good old days when she was acting casual.

She looked AMAZING and her performance was indeed FLAWLESS.

Can't believe like a couple of years ago she sounded really, really bad...
And now we have this, like ayu at her vocal peak again.
Yes it's pre-recorded, but still you can tell she is delivering like the old days. This year has been a real treat vocally wise.

I love her so much right now.
Now bring on a f****** piece of art of an album and I can die happy.

Incredible. Showstopping. AMAZING.........

Have no words really, just awe. All the performances this year have just kept delivering and getting better! Xmas Live and CDL are gonna be WOW.
