With that being said, it might explain a lot about her current situation.

This is interesting, I didn't know about it!

Interesting maybe she has permanent nodules on her vocal chords ?
In the first place making her singing that high while it’s was not her natural tone was a bad idea but I assume it was for marketing purpose so ...

Yes. "My throat is very weak, so it often dries up".

I had no idea about this. I would assume this contributes and if she does take proper care, she probably can sustain her vocals.

[Chris85]

After this concert it's a good time to listen again to "Duty" from CDL 2014-2015. It was so good it hardly needed any editing.

[Toniayu123]

Her voice changes are seriously impressive imo. If you told me the one who sang poker face, guilty and flower are 3 different persons, I would believe it.

I think she’d sound wonderful if she stuck to her deeper voice and lower register, her screaming right now just sounds painful to listen to for me.

I became a fan during STEP you and to me 2005 was one of her best live-voices.

Yeah, hearing her voice became worse around that time is a first for me.

I remember at least one bad TV live with Step you. Need to rewatch, it's been years.

She had up and downs during that year. Most of is this LOVE? lives weren’t that great, but her voice started going downhill with the CDL when GUILTY was released.

In terms of pitch, even before that, 2007 was a difficult year when hearing issues got worse: some Fated and Together When... lives were completely off-key, ending with infamous CDL. Although there still was a number of good TV performances that I loved that year.

[pedronekoi]

Exactly! And this was 12 years ago so maybe her condition got worst.

[Nomadic Nom]

Interesting. I wouldn't have known it had begun around 2005 either. Would've thought a few years later.

[pedronekoi]

For me her golden vocals era was around A BEST 2. I love every single live she did to promote this album and I'm a big fan of the vibratos all the way. <3

Duty (or Pride or Microphone)

theme of a-nation '03
one of the staple songs from CDL2004-2005
Bold & Delicious
SCAR
evolution
Lelio
Humming 7/4
momentum
Terminal
Blue bird

So it was Duty and Pride and Microphone! Not the theme of a-nation '03 or songs from CDL 2004-2005 but same taiko drums

I had actually forgotten about that outfit/segment until I saw these pics.

When I saw these pictures, I thought for a moment that they’ll incl. the cutted performances as an extra but in the end I doubt that

[summerain]

I think it's weird using these photos during DVD release promo if that performance won't be included at the package... Maybe we'll see it in some bonus footage?
