Heartbreaking Videos

[waterballoon]

I suddenly realized how painful it must have been for Ayu...

[Misa-chan]

WOW!! we sure have telepathy!! I just watched that first video half an hour ago on YouTube while looking for Together When... lives.

Yeah it's sad. Together When...'s lyrics make alot of sense when you watch this.

[waterballoon]

I watched the first video while watching some Together When... lives too!

and yeah, it's a very sad song which I'm certain she wrote with him in mind

[Iyreen]

May I know the together when... from the 1st video was from which performance? She sounded so sad there.

It's the one at Kouhaku 2007

EDIT: The poster above me already answered this, so my post is wrong! Sorry

It's from Countdown Live 2007 - 2008, the TV version, cause you can hear her voice hasn't been digitally enhanced yet (like what happens to the DVD version)

It's a very emotional concert in my opinion, and vocally not her best (in fact, one of her worst) but I still think it's a great concert because it's so emotional. If I'm correct, this is her first concert after her friend died and after the news of her half-deafness spreaded the globe.

[waterballoon]

^ That still is a very emotional concert/performance anyways... she looked like she was about to break down anytime soon throughout the show : /

[love in music]

It's sad, I still can't believe she didn't take a break after that.. I needed over a year on my own to get over one of my relationships, I could hardly even focus on my work or anything, I don't know how she does it. Also I wish they would have used the original Together when... in that video, her voice was so bad there (as it was in 99% of her TW lives )

Yesyes of course it was painful to break up after so many years. But just because some fans make some videos with some sad music in it doesnt make the break up more sad then it was you know...? I remember pretty clear what she wrote in that message. It was heartbreaking but yet it had some hope to it. When love begins to become more friendly then lovley then you shouldnt stay there. And if you simply think to diffrent to make it work, no you shouldnt stay in there either.

Im kind of always on Ayus team when it comes to this. And I know that alot of japanese agrees with me. Ppl said "the only bad thing ayu have done during her carrier was to get together with him. He's really bad. Drugs and so on." etc etc.

Btw, many ppl react diffrent after these kind of things. My two best friends lost their parents in cancer but they still went to school the day after. Not that they where less sad. Just that thats how they managed to go on with their life. Thats how they could recover from the sadness at its very best. Probably Ayu felt the same way after the break up. She kept on going, doing things she like, just to move on and recover.

Anyway, very very heartbreaking, naturally. But Im glad to see Ayu on her feets, happy and strong today. ^__^

[waterballoon]

okay I didn't know he was on drugs and that sort of stuff @_@

[ownsarai]

He was on drugs? >.> I never knew that. Maybe that was one of the reasons why they split?

[AyuGAME]

no...tomoya never on drugs..and his carier is pretty stable...

[MissElin_]

Well I dont know for sure of course. But it seemes like many many japanese ppl share the same oppinion about him beeing a really bad boy and their relationship also was the worst thing in her carrier.

Spoiler:

Speaking of gossip and drugs:
I lived next door to a lady who had many friends in Avex and so on. She also worked for Avex and gave me like TONS of the big NEXT LEVEL posters just because she had like 100 of them. Anywho she told me some gossip about "our dear" Matsuura too. He (according to her) was kind of a unpleasant man who had alot to do with drugs... Well all of this, we can just assume its rumours. But yeah, thats how they look like inside the walls of Avex sometimes.

[ownsarai]

Well yea. Most girls I know tend to like the bad boy types. They are more mysterious and "dangerous". He's a hottie, though, no wonder why him and Ayu got together. 2 beautiful people.
And yea. Rumors are just that. Unless proven otherwise.
And by the way, it didn't seem like her relationship with Nagase in any way hurt her career.

[waterballoon]

Well many entertainment people have a completely different life behind the camera, so we never know. Like every celebrity will be suspected of some scandal, be it drugs, sex or plastic surgery, at least once in their career... isn't Ayu in some drug scandal now too?

I guess that when someone is in love they literally turn blind to all the flaws of the other person, and it seems like Ayu is such a person anyway.

[FuNsTyLe]

Only heartbreaking about the first video is her voice... Not good. I did like the images though, some interesting ones

[waterballoon]

^ LOL.

Well the pictures were nice; very cute. People really do look different when they're in love or with someone they love.

[ayu_ready?]

she must be very very strong & determined to have overcome all this. it's 7 years! the whole youth, as to say...

poor Ayu she deserves the best person - lovin & caring

[jean-baptiste]

speaking of the pics in the videos; does anyone have one of the last photos in the first video? the one where ayu is walking away from an empty motorcycle?
and does anyone know where it's from?

[waterballoon]

^ I second that request it's a beautiful photo
