I completely agree with this. I was just thinking that the reason certain k-pop/j-pop songs are popular is because they sound like western pop. Just in a different language lol. Which is why Ayu still wouldn't do well over here, I think. I couldn't imagine her songs becoming hits.

not really, not to mention 2NE1 & BIG BANG adding dates almoust eveyrday here and there...

[Delicious n Bold]

Wait
There are rumours of Ayu doing a world tour?
Whoa.

[Jester]

I'm from Thailand (But I didn't have the photo of her when she has been here, In that time I didn't know her yet) I can told you that news it's a rumor taploid stuff because it's very strict here, If she done that there will be no Ayu's stuff here in Thailand anymore.

(Actually most of the J-Pop fan still love Ayu as for her older stuff, her popularity has drop since Koda and then now it seem like everybody know Namie more than Ayu)

^

I wish Boston was like that, no one here has ever heard of her.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ First, I think DnB has to realize that this was recorded on a bad phone mic... its going to sound horrible...

also, I think its the fact that ayumi's voice is so different from when she first sang this song...

I actually like this version better besides some of the ii ii's... lol

HOTEL Love songs is coming to an end in 5 days

People also really responded well to the song. The first time in Shizuoka there was a whole group of girls in the row in front who all just screamed "natsukashii~~~~~~~~"

I don't know how to word my response..
I love appears. It's definitely in my top 20 songs of all time.
The reason why I don't like how ayu sings it now is kinda complicated.

Trying to make a long story short: i believe that the song should only be sung in ayu's old, nasally, immature voice. the song as a whole is not supposed to be sung by the ayu of today.
I liked all the other songs, even if they were recorded with a bad mic. appears is just... I've been through so much and i relate to the song SO much and ayu changing the fundamentals of the song is just... Well, it ISNT her fault though. She couldn't control the direction her voice went to. people mature, and so do their voices. The arrangement is alright, though. AND at least some of the midsection was untouched.

If ayu should do ANYTHING, its make a sequel to appears. Something of a continuation with her current voice. Im here for that. I'm not here for her butchering the song with her current voice.

^ I'd hate to see your reaction to the 4/8 recording of "appears"... or have you heard that one? It was kind of like a replay of Mirrorcle World at Kouhaku '08 when I saw it live... Yeah, Ayu messed up a bit every now and then, but still. lol.

[FoxyPinkGirl]

Who cares if she messed up singing a song. She's allowed to, especially touring and performing over and over.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I'm going on the 11th xD

I really hope she sings one or more of the songs from LOVE...

[kinix]

too bad there's no Ustream for this concert =(

[TeamAyu2004]

^^ maybe for the last day??

[polka-dot-jewel]

^ If there were a UStream, something would have been announced by now. They've always announced those type of things early.

I'm not surprised there wasn't one for this concert, though. Yes, I attended it and I loved it, but it's not like POWER of MUSIC - that was one definitely worth UStream-ing (both for the cause and the concert itself). The CDL kind of was worth UStream-ing as well, just because we got to see the original HLS, what Ayu originally planned for AT11. This one? Well, it's kind of a new version of HLS, since it's promoting both Party Queen and Love Songs. We got to see the original live, but now we get to wait for the rehash on DVD/blu-ray.

[SunshineSlayer]

I'm hoping that there is a somewhat new setlist tonight and that she performs at least one of the songs off the upcoming mini album.

[branv]

Grrrrr ayugame....
Just read your review, make me envy you.

Hahahhahaha

Where is my crots paper? LOL
Were you alone in the concert?if so who took your pic?

You dnt have any pic with international ayu fans there?
Or maybe with japanese fans?

[HilaryDuffFanboy]

Song 4 you must be there in the encore.

[SunshineSlayer]

Well they have a sub stage set up here at to yogi and all three new songs playing outside. Should be some changes to the show. Ayu running late as usual.

I think they might have started late due to the hall not fully packed yet. Usually concerts starts when the hall is almost packed so that the audience doesn't miss the show.
