ok i am bit late to add to this thread. i saw this concerts on new years day - but didnt think to post here haha im stupid i know -_-"
anyways - i realy like it - it seems that this is the beggining of an amazing year for ayu! the stage was great, the nice costumes and song selection too.
Like everyone is discussing though, i did notice a problem with the vocals. I personaly put it down to ayu being ill, we know how overworked she gets around that time of year, remember the ayuready video showing her run from tv show to tv show on new years time? It also sounded like she was holding back - why? i cant imagine. i wrote about it here:
www.xanga.com/nomizo31 im sorri if i am not supposed to link my blog here >< just im lazi to write it again hahaha. I felt a little in pain when i heard ayu having trouble hitting those high notes. It is for that reason that i believe it was illness that prevented this, or exhaustion, rather than hearing imparement.
I think the hearing imparment ayu has in her left ear will of course hinder her singing however it shouldnt be a huge problem untill she begins losing more functionality in her right ear. Even though we are all concerned fans, and love ayu dearly, i do think maybe it is a little inapropriate for us to discuss such a personal ayu issue so frivolously on this forum. I wan to discuss it too hehe but i will not because it is ayu's private ne? All i will say is i realy wish ayu the best in the future with this issue, and remind her that Australia has best research in hearing imparment - with the invention of cochlear implant, miracles can happen. I have seen one friend experience this!
As for the concert again, i loved it. This is the only only ONLY concert that i have ever questioned her vocals. There was of course the limited edition CDL 02-03, but that was largly microphone issues also. We know she had a cold at that time ne?
This year, 2008 will be a magnificent year for Ayu, we need to support her with all our hearts, just as she has done for us so many many times. I want to make it my goal to visit her again live, to once again shout out "thank you" from the bottom of my heart.
Im sorry if you think i should just shut up, or go to another thread, but this is my feeling and so i wanted to write it here.
Thank you
^_^
