When did the 'wardrobe malfunction' happen on the WOWOW broadcast?

What I do appreciate is that she tried her best, like a pro and that she had a good attitude throughout the whole show even though she must have felt pretty bad. |

BRILLANTE into Flower would have SLAYED as an opening number, but I guess she really wanted Duty and Microphone to open the show :/ |

^ I was very uncomfortable with the intro. Even last year right before BRILLANTE it was just awkward and made a lot of people around me cringe, myself included.

The be honnest, this show needed more rest before the stage. Her voice is bad from the beginning to the end.... I am really sad of it. I was really waiting for Brillante : the idea was really good to make a new music, but all we want is the end of the song...She doesn't sing anymore : she screams, shouts !
It will really be better to make just a few date tour insteed of such a lot of representation...Even concerning "walking proud", she perfers to cry but not trying to sing in high scale... She has to celebrate her anniversary in good conditions with "quality shows". For the moment, people can feel just pain to hear her sing (scream) |

Unfortunately she's been like that for at least 8 years. It makes me sad that I never got to hear in person how she used to sound like pre-screaming, since my first show was in 2012. Even when I was lucky to hear her nearly pitch-perfect, it was still not singing, but screaming most of the time.
I felt uncomfortable during A Best Live, because all interludes and themes were depressing as hell. This year's opening sounded beautiful at least. Last edited by Chris85; 9th April 2019 at 09:08 AM. |

They were surprisingly sad for a show that was supposed to be a celebration of career.

That was the show where the dancers “died” in the interludes, right? Definitely depressing. She’s done it a few times though, like for Tears interlude in CDL2014-15 and AT2015

Sorry I didn't. The show's more enjoyable when you're not holding your phone in front of your face, so I only recorded a few ballads that I loved. I was ready to film Moments when she came out in that kimono, I was so excited, but she didn't sing that so this is all I got.
I can understand the triangle since she was trying to go with a pyramid theme? But the seat was weird I agree. I also don't get why she got on that podium with that male dancer during Surreal. That song's better if she's just standing alone, and the guy mouthing the lyrics was soooooo awkward... Timmy's nipple covers were less awkward in comparison. |

She picks her setlists not onlt based on sound, but also on lyrics, and usually order them to form a narrative on each section, even if this doesn't translate on visuals everytime. Duty ~ Microphone forms a very self aware commentary on her career, while BRILLANTE~Flower doesn't.
About the guy with her on the elevated plataform, she has balance issues cuz of her hearing problems. The dancer most likely was there simply to hold her. |

Yes, that's the one.

She can't be that bad at balancing... She was walking on her own in heels, dancing, riding a scooter... I don't believe that she's that unhealthy

some thoughts from the parts that I watched (until walking proud)
-the pop/electro interludes were cool -I don't think that there were any additional hearing issues; she probably got a cold as her voice here reminded me a lot of CDL 2002-2003 where she was also ill - I liked the strings emphasis in Duty and Microphone, the sound was really cool; her voice was good in the verses and prechorus - the section NaNaNa - rollin' - Ladies' Night - Sparkle sounded good vocally - MOWY should have been ditched as she struggled a lot with it, probably the worst moment from what I watched - I like her newer male dancers better, I was never a fan of her older ones

This was an enjoyable show overall!
Though some songs are a bit strange concept-wise, but they pretty much put performances of the past randomly together anyway (except some song pairs). But her voice was really sooooo damn thin throughout the show, it wasn't fun to listen to. She really has to rest, cause this has nothing to do with her deafness or not hitting notes, especially cause she sounded better the night before. If she'd had a cold that bad that it affects her vocals in that manner, the concert on 04.06. would have sounded worse vocally as well.

If she had to pay for them... It's obviously a sponsorship as Ayu have posted and used this brand for years now. I don't know if most people is aware of that but Ayu has a HUGE influence with brands that she wears. Once Ayu wear something, all the Japanese fans starts wearing the same brands. It's crazy the amount of people wearing the mirror9 red hoodie - that Ayu often wears on her Instagram - on her concerts.

There's a lot of differences between hiding a scooter or dancing in heels and being elevated several meters above the ground on a moving plataform. The most obvious one being that she has a bigger chance of worst or fatal injures if she falls from the later one.
