I cry during the ballad section every time I watch her concerts because the way she sings them just seems to touch my heart so deeply I just can't keep myself together anymore. Suki de, suki de, suki de, walk, Ai no Uta, Yume no Uta and Moon Crying always makes me cry so hard. From her non-ballads also Comes Up and Choitashi Life does the same thing (I have no idea why it happens with the latter but oh well).

I have never understood the hate for Moon Crying and Ai no Uta. In my opinion those songs are amazing. Lyrics are just so beautiful and simple arrangement just makes them even more beautiful. I think that these two may have the best ballad lyrics she's ever written.

I'm also surprised of the hate for Aishou. I have always thought every fan loves it from the bottom of their hearts.

Yes, I agree with you on FANTASIA's ballad section! It's just pure magic, I really adore that ballad medley she does there, the atmosphere and the simplicity of the whole section. This is what I want concerts to be. Ballad sections with no huge props, only the singer and the audience.

Dejavu Tour's ballad section is epic in my opinion. It has a nice balance between slower and midtempo songs and she sings them very well. <3
