[SCREENCAP]Ayu @ kouhaku 08 Mirrorcle World

[waterballoon]

She looks very adorable with the hand movements! And she's holding her mic with her right hand... I wonder if it's painful for her. But we can see her right hand had this black thing wrapped around the wrist (the left wrist was a wristband apparently)... even when putting on a bandage, Ayu does it the cool way!

I love the performance, her face looks so fresh here, and I love her hair. I already thought that she started becoming more "adult" or "mature" but here she's just like in the "is this love?" era and the outfit remind me of GAME PV. Is it just me or Mirrocle World doesn't seem much enthusiastic because Ayu's vocal is much louder than the music? I find her voice pretty good and I hope for great CDL (I just hope Peco is in better form than last year ._.)

ya, it seems she started singing one line earlier
and makes the performance quite funny...

[miskiq]

yeah vocal has nvr been that gd in MW....maybe it strain her voice or something
but energetic performance from ayu

as for her hand maybe she took extra painkiller..haha....a lot of movement by her

[Coelacanth]

Ew, she was doing fine vocally with 'Days', dunno why she had to come out and do this song again. Yet another poor Kouhaku performance.. I hope this is no indication of how CDL will turn out.

No - they were all over the place on CDTV Special, this time it was really fine imo. She didn't yell at the mic this time. You don't have to understand it.

It got better in the second half and she had lots of energy but still, vocally, this song has just not been performed well on TV. This didn't exactly give me high hopes for the vocals of CDL.

She just started early, but she got frustrated.
And pulling off the dress was a little weak. ahaha..
But, at least she made it~
Actually, I like Mirrorcle world with the gap between verse and chorus... ahaha.

I think really, Mirrorcle World pitch is too low for her to sing well in TV. =\

Based on some of the posts, sorry that I just want to be honest, but I think this was the worst of all MW performances she's ever done.

And one of the worst she has ever done in the Kouhaku.

I think I might agree to the ones above because she just did not do her best. Not very much. This is just another mishap on a year of miseries to forget...really, she has got to do better.

And the PCDL situation? That's really another story. Really, she's just trying to play safe before the PCDL.

And could this performance really affect the outcome of the Kouhaku? We'll just have to see - because people are watching this and voting to see who did the best.

I've got to be honest with this, but I'm actually going to go for the white team. And they are on the quest on making Kouhaku history - four consecutive wins. We'll just have to see, however - we still have 100 uninterrupted, commercial-free minutes of the Kouhaku remaining...

Go Go Go Ayu! You did it very well!

Oh, I see. Thank you. ^^
I wondered why there was a rather large gap between the verse and chorus, but I thought that's how it was supposed to be. ^^; I concentrated more on the actual lyrics, because I assumed she messed up those. ^^a
Well, nothing too major in my opinion. Such things happen.

[prussian blue]

Bigtop: i think its a weird performance too, she didnt keep the note where it should be, too much vibrato in some part (yah its a tradition for her lately), and even forced herself too much in every notes. i still prefer the AT08 version, imo

[miskiq]

her tattoos are plastered?

i totally agree with you.

[reixminako]

OMG! Maybe she got the tattoo removed? Or maybe she added something else to it?

But anyway...that was a pretty bad performance. I wonder if the people in the audience noticed she messed up? She should've performed GREEN...that would've been so good especially if they had good costumes and such. Mirrorcle World is getting obnoxiously overdone now. I almost wish she wouldn't be singing it at PCDL. I'm kinda tired of it already!

[Meat Pao]

Sorry but imo vocal-wise, this is one of the worst MW performances Ayu have ever done before =\ But the leopard dress was hot though <3 And about the tattoo, it looks like she had it removed D:
