ever since i read the info about shuya being in it i lost all interest n seeing it

She can choose whoever she wants to dance with and I can choose not to watch or buy anything (Arena,CDL DVDs) I don't like.

I guess I'll be buying just her albums to support her and hear her sing.

The Covers are alright. Nothing special, but they are way better than the "Sunrise / Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~"-Covers . The basic idea of the "You Were..."-PV is very cool. I like the whole Image with the weird couple, the hand puppet, the Trees made of Paper (I don't know how to descrice it in a better way, I think you'll get what I mean) and the dress made of a chain of lights - But the assembly is very dissapointing.
The weird couple looks like dancers from Lady Gaga . They are way TOO futuristic and ruin the beautiful atmosphere, even though I like the scene with the shining stone.
The idea of the hand puppet is very cute and creative, but you can only see the puppet during the opening of the PV. I have the sense that they just used the puppet as a filler for the opening Blank stare.
The "BALLAD"-PV is better. The Background-Story is very touching and Shu Ya is a great actor. Even though I hate Ayu's pink dress, the scenery is very beautiful .

WOW i had the exact same opinion as yours! i wish she had a white dress instead of that bubblegum pink hehe

i know she can ^^

but most of her performances that has shuya in it i end up skipping ;P
and just listen to the audio lol

but i can't take it any more i wanna see her performances like i used to D;

don't you think it could have been better if she used a real actor in "BALLAD pv"
the song is really gorgeous and the idea of th pv is really good *o*

but the idea of using the same dancer over and over again is really boring
if you compare him with other dancers you know he's not that great
i think she's using him cuz he's very popular now and lots of her fans like him

too bad 4 me )=

can't wait for RED LINE (;

[SunshineSlayer]

Yeah, of all the shows I think I might be looking forward to Best Artist the most this year.

after all, this is my first time seeing Ayu in a helmet and where else could you find someone is still looking stunningly beautiful even after a crush and lying on the road

Ayu in Best Artist 2009

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

thanks!!!! she looks so pretty

the you were... perf was great! it was funny when she forgot the lines to evolution though haha

[tetsuo69]

She needs to really stop singing evolution ................


You Were live was really Great ^^

[Zeke.]

She looks old in the performance Lol.

[PinkShinigami]

I don't think she forgot the lyrics, her voice suck so bad, she should really take a rest. This is two songs performed so great before, and now it just suck.. omg ayu.. take rest before this will be standard. Now I really agree with people saying this.
