I think most of the artists before Ayu weren't my style, I enjoyed AAA, and Ai Otsuka, also I kind of enjoyed GIRL NEXT DOOR, I thought that Tohoshinki were as annoying as ever, but Survivor was okay.
Kumi was okay too, I don't like ecstasy though. I would have preferred 走れ!.
Now, Ayu was amazing.
Rule was dramatic as ever, and her vocals sounded damn good imo. I loved the smoke near the end.
ASFXX was pretty powerful, but not as good as last year's perf of it.
BLUE BIRD was surprisingly well sung!
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ definitely didn't disappoint!
TO BE had very good vocals, but shu-ya was unnecessary.
Boys & Girls was excellent, she didn't shout it and that was nice! Pumped me right up after the ballads!
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ was FANTASTIC! Got me wanting to sing and dance along to it, her vocals were better than any of the TV performances.
Lastly July 1st was also nice, but made me kinda sad cuz it was the ending song!
