She was singing to everyone who was watching, should only people who are present get the benefit of a high energy performance? It may have been a little silly, but seriously, some fans (not talking about you directly) should lighten up. Ayu's all about having some fun this year. That's just my opinion anyway. I DO hope her performances are like Sunrise and Sunset, she sounded great and she was really into the performances, that's all I ask for.  |
^ Fun or not, the basic point is vocally they were just bad performances. It is possible to have fun and good vocals at the same time.
The thing about the Boys and Girls performance though I just didn't get - holding the microphone out to what? The crew members? It just looked plain ridiculous, like she is so rehearsed in performing Boys and Girls that she couldn't figure out, "ok, this is Music Fair, I need to do Boys and Girls differently."

I've always considered the Kouhaku + CDL + CDTV SP schedule quite ridic. Of course, it was far worse back in the day when she still attended the Japan Record Awards.

That's what I thought. It seems she is doing a lot of things differently at the end of the year this time and I'm wondering why.
