Kuu performed Ai no Uta at The Music Day and is going to do WON'T BE LONG at 5:45 pm Japanese.

EDIT:

Japanese fans, who recorded the performances from their TV in pretty nice quality, till we get some rips:

Right?! And it's also amazing that they're actually taking advantage of this and letting her perform the song live. It's nice to see Koda having another hit after so long

Wtf, her vocal technique/voice is slowly morphing into misonos.
Shit I actually think misono would sound better on this track.

You know, I read this and scoffed out loud because I find most of the time you go a liiiiiiittle OTT

But then I listened to the clip and you're spot-fucking-on. JFC my ears are about to start bleeding

I refuse to acknowledge how right you are. It’s too painful .

All jokes aside, her vocals have gotten deeper and now she’s got a noticeable vibrato.

Badass. Love her vocals in it. Too bad it didn't get a MV it could have been something awesome like Can We Go Back.

Reception from the anime fans is also great.

I would say my biggest complaint is what she’s doing with her voice lately. Listening to her newest albums since her return from maternity leave, she sometimes just flat out makes her voice sound ugly. I never used to think that, so it’s unfortunate that i do now.

It’s possible that in Chances All, there’s a switch in the lyrics. Like, after singing chances are, towards the end of the song she starts singing chances all—like, “chances are” representing a negative outcome, and “chances all” representing a positive one. Incorrect English, but...that wouldn’t be the first time lol.

That's a nice idea.
And wouldn't surprise me as well, as the letter L doesn't exist in Japanese and R is a mix between those two letters - so "chances are" and "chances all" probably sound a lot alike for Japanese people, even though it's incorrect.

I expected Guess Who is Back to be R&B style but not. Is acceptable.

Nice to see a good reception for the song (from the anime's page on Reddit and twitter), I'm always afraid for anime songs when it's not your typically "anime song singer", and the song is pretty good, just as I expecting judging by the others OP for the series.

Btw both THE MUSIC DAY performances are up on JPS.
