[21.06.2009] ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~ 4 songs live!

[AyumiBest]

Wow! Thank you!

[SunshineSlayer]

I don't think Days is quite as bad as people are making it out to be. Boys and Girls and Evolution though...oi.... - Evolution is at least slightly better though.

Curtain Call as people have been saying sounds very good. It may be because the music is soft so she doesn't feel like she has to shout the whole thing.

At least there is no doubt that these 4 songs are live.

I wish the person would have recorded the whole thing like they did with Namie's concert.

i dun think walking proud was acted o.O..
it was really touching...zzzzz..
o well..that's ur opinion

even if someone acted...so what? the emotions must still come from within

I think Days was sung rather well, regardless of whether she cried or acted. Some people here really anger me, so I agree with you on the Days part!
Although...I personally felt that B&G and evolution were good...maybe it's just cuz I'm one to sing along to these so that I don't actually notice. xD
It sounded fun to me though.

Well... after a 3 years experience on the drama group when I was in highschool, IMO it doesn't really matter if it was acted or not... you need to feel the emotion in order to act... If u r going to cry, u need to really cry... And this is acting: Is to feel and express something that doesn't really need to be how u r feeling at the moment... But while walking proud acting was very laid-back (what fits perfectly that performace), considering how Ayu sounded in the end of Days, she was really crying a lot. But considering the way her concerts are, both were acted, and there is not wrong with it... It's a concert... it's a performace... It doesn't need to be real, it needs to make the audience feel the emotion

[AyUta]

Wow thanks . I'd rather wait for videos though. I don't like listening to live performances much.

[RPGames]

Lol, well I don't know what she's "feeling" when she's acting her crying recently, but from the looks of it it's anything but "sadness". HANABI a-nation 08, AT08 and HOPE or PAIN CDL08-09 look absolutely ridiculous.

Anyway, back to the vocals. ""Crying"" is NOT an excuse for singing off-key. Many many vocalists completely nail singing even while genuinely crying. Ayu's just not a very good singer, and I think most fans have a hard time accepting that.

[makie_7]

Cool! thanks a lot!

[Calico]

OMG I was at this live! And since she performed like...10 feet away from me during Days, I can definitely say that she was crying. Whether it was real or not, I have no idea, but there were definitely tears on her face and her entire visage was all scrunched up. (insert comment about shuya here)

I will also say that, after first going to the second Saitama live, she sounded way better then. the Yoyogi performance looked better visually and she looked way more comfortable, but her vocals weren't as up to par imo. Still, I am happy to have these clips because now I can relive my two favorite lives of the evening...evolution and Days! (she looked and waved at me during evolution, LOL)

Besides a-nation, I don't think there was anything bad in her acting on those... Maybe u just didn't like it and now is talking as they were terrible, when is more your problem with them than a a problem in them.

And how well u can control ur voice while crying depends on how hard r u crying

I'm sorry, Kuu cried while singing Moon Crying in Kingdom Tour too. And at that line when she cried... that note was out of tune.

There's nothing wrong with that, and when you cry out of real emotions... you just cry. How do you "concentrate" on whatever else you're doing?

[shineestar]

thanks for posting, wish there was full videos though sigh..

[Chibi_Venus]

Curtain call lyrics: ima demo ichiban ni ii tai kotoba dake ga ...

I feel like she hit the "C" better live than in the studio version. o_O

Anyway, thanks for posting!

[nemesisyume]
