Ayu ~Anything Goes XIX~

[mi|kshake]

^That's such a gorgeous pic of the limited edition. I really need to take a photo of mine!

Finally listened to the A Complete ver of M and it does sound like a mistake or someone just trying to leave their "mark". At first I thought that section had just been cut out for time or something.

I'm not as offended by the lack of guitar solo as I thought I would be.

Found this the another day...



Is this the original version of Sotsugyou shashin by Yumi Arai, right?
(didn't know Maaya Sakamoto did a cover, as well)

[douggn]

I think her vocals are generally fine and that its the live broadcast that doesnt help. With a fan recording of kanariya from facebook, her voice sounded 500x better then the tv live, and it was on a phone (think they had a good phone) also think it was from the first night not the final night because she looked like she was sitting in the air, but still think, ayus voice needs to be heard in person, and not going by what it sounds like from a camera, that cant handle the base of her show for tv lives

Thats the clip im refering too

^So many people cover that song it's not even funny. Such a good song though, no matter who does it.

The sound of TV broadcast is coming straight from the mixing/sound board, not from the camera, it can't get better than that. Broadcast's sound is the clearest and best one comparing to what you hear in arena or hear in fan cams.

[truehappiness]

The mixing on CDL TV lives has been strange as hell in recent years. I think the worst case may have been like... Future Classics or something in 2009-2010 where we heard PECO louder than Ayu for the entire concert.

Given the 60+ dates, I am assuming it will run into fall and maybe even spill into 2018.

[pedronekoi]

I thought the original was by Yumi Matsutoya...

[truehappiness]

Yumi Arai is Yumi Matsutoya. She wrote a TON of hits.

[pedronekoi]

^ Ah! Sorry sorry! Didn't knew that name of her. Yeah! She's a queen. Would be amazing if she and Ayu had sang Haruyo Koi together during that live.

[ExodusUK]

My housemate is getting pretty into Ayu and finds her really attractive, he typed "ayumi hamasaki naked" into bing image search and found loads of naked photos of ayu! He showed me and they're all fake!! Whoever is making disgusted photoshop images of Ayu having sex or being splashed on with liquids..stop it now.

[dreamalley]

Well, even thought that's disgusting it actually happens with 99% of all celebrities. Mostly female celebrities.

[dreamalley]

This reminds me of Ayu





(It's from a jdrama called Shitsuren Chocolatier)

I don't know why I never noticed this before, but is the skirt from TA Tour 2015 the same as from AT '10? TA looks a little shorter, and with less bling...but if nothing else, the front piece from TA looks like it was taken from AT and paired with a similar skirt.

[Evan Odinson]

^I think it's the same one!

I finally bought a copy of LOVEppears and it's on its way

I think is the same print but not the same skirt. It's also similiar to this one she wore during ARENA TOUR 2002.

Got my copy of LOVEppears today, so beautiful!

Was it expensive? I remember it was like the most expensive Ayu CD at the time when I got into her and when I decided to ask for an Ayu CD for Christmas I did a lot of research to figure out which album's genre fit closest with my likings - after finding out LOVEppears was mostly a techno/dance album I went with that one.

I got it for Christmas, but shortly afterwards I went on a family trip to Disney World with my family and left it sitting in my windowsill. When I came back from the trip, we discovered there was a crack in our roof or something and the water from the dirty snow seeped through it and leaked all over my CD case! It was like brown and distorted then; being a perfectionist, I was livid.

[relmy]

I've never seen this performance before! I've never enjoyed Greatful Days this much, I always find it rather irritating, but it's so nice here. Probably helps that it's been cut in half too.

It's one of the very few Ayu songs I just straight up dislike, is it finally time for me to like it?!

TBH I would cry if something like that happen to me It was really cheap, I was luck that someone was selling a brand new copy near where I live, it was just about 18 USD
