Performances where Ayu actually cries

[inuxkag]

Hi all, so if I asked the question "which performances has Ayu really cried in" which ones come to mind? I know she's quite partial to being overly dramatic with the fake crying, but her genuine tears make me love the performance so much more.

Ones that stick for me are;

Memorial Address - Arena Tour 2003-2004
Walking Proud - My Story Tour 2005
Untitled For Her - CDL 2007-2008
Beloved and A Song is Born - Power of Music 2011
Walk - CDL 2014-2015
Ivy - CDL 2015-2016

Endless sorrow+UNITE! performance in 2001 on CDTV SP..

Her voice was quite damaged from the extensive DOME touring she was doing (possibly also something to do with her ear problem as well). She couldn't hit the notes and probably genuinely cried cause she couldn't deliver the performance or really knew something bigger was affecting her...

I do believe that happenes during Mad World in AT16...

I need to rewatch it

You can usually tell she's actually crying if she can barely sing but in recent years she's been playing up the 'fake crying' with pulling the mic away even if it's not necessarily super emotional. CDL07-08's untitled ~for her~ is probably the most real it has been.

SAKURA - CDL19-20

She wasn't overtly dramatic and ayu seemed genuinely emotional to me.

[Evan Odinson]

Well, that Dearest performance when she got a big award (not sure what award exactly) and she cries the whole performance.

I also felt her crying during Who... in CDL 16-17 was real.

Minerva which performance is this ? It won't play for me on Youtube for some reason

It’s very noticeable when she really cry her voice has distinctive trembles and she is not over acting her moves . Fun fact while her voice really changed over the years when she is crying her voice sound the same as before.

I really like these emotional performances :
Winding road CDL 2004-2005
Walking proud My story tour
Untitled for her CDL 2007-2008
Part of me Power of music 2011
Walk cdl cirque de minuit 2014-2015
Endless sorrow Made in Japan 2016

Yeah this one is sad I think it was the first time her voice crashed that much and she wasn’t able to sing properly at tv live show. She was probably pissed to not be able to sing it. It was a really exhausting period for her.

It's this one

@Minerva If you want to link a video this way, you should remove the "https://youtu.be/" part. Otherwise, it won't show the video properly.

Fixed the video, it was showing up for me. I’ve been here for 15 years and forgot how this site works!

That highkey annoys me.
