She may not give s quantity but with her minis I feel she definitely delivers quality. FIVE and Sixxxxxx are really solid albums and I think TROUBLE will follow the same path.

She sounds great in the Line live!
Tho I don't like the song that much.
And the lyrics...well, she sounds to me like delving in self-pity? At least like she doesn't value herself (or her career in relation to her body) that much. Don't really like that.

Actually in another light,

The last part, matched with the seemingly positive song vibes, actually makes me feel like, she is acknowledging her haters and really its just a nicer way to tell them, "Oh since since u are tired of me now, you really just f off and not feel anything. I don't need your pity. But if you do believe in me still, then let's head on together."

It sounds like she WANTS to walk on. She wants to continue with people who cares. And haters who constantly find fault with her, about her voice, her body, her age whatsoever, she seems to be telling them, to just go. Spare her those seemingly pitiful comments which are really just there to bring her down. Leave and don't look back on her anymore.

Hm, sorry, but with the way it's worded plus the hopeful melody I don't think she's speaking with haters, on the contrary.
If it is about her at all.
It is in line with what she said in interviews, that she wants to go on unless it's not possible anymore, cause it's all what she is. It's her decision and I respect that, but I don't have to agree with it or like it. I'm pretty sure she could find somethin else that resonates with her or doing it in another way.

Actually saying that, I think she probably means that. Her fans, people near to her, who follow her, cherish her, but don't agree with how she's handling it.
Tho wording it like she did is pretty dramatic.

If she will be forced to retire anyway, what difference does it make for anyone but her if she does so now or when she is completely dead? She will still have to give up her passion.

What if doing so while still being able to hear, and worst, losing that hearing anyway even if not performing, hurts her far more than going on until the end?

The performance was so wonderful. Ayu's raw vocals sounded amazing. Perhaps Ayu is at her best in a smaller more relaxed environment to sing. This acapella version seems superior to the studio recorded version. The beauty of the song really comes to life in this acapella arrangement.

The story had sound at first but if I tried to skip ahead, no sound. I believe she posted parts of the performance on her Instagram page.

You know, that's one thing that Japan annoys me with - being horribly judgmental.... And the constant putting Ayu against Namie is so.... old now. They clearly are brought up on the being like everyone else basis, following the rules etc., so i guess that makes sense, but i mean the world including JAPAN is not in mid 50s anymore....

She sounds really bad and this isn’t even live...Why oh why would she decide to sing anything this way.

haha I don't know how to explain this exactly but I think this is what she would sound on stage if she has full control of her vocals. she sounds so raw, but not off-pitch (to me).

same, it's decent, but not exciting. definitely not "SINGLE QUALITY" (does she even know what this phrase means, anymore? she hasn't released a single in so long now )
