Ayu will perform 'INSPIRE' at the 64th Kouhaku Uta Gassen

[owlflight]

I love that it is a sparkly gold outfit but the bottom piece is not very flattering to her figure. Vocals were decent but for me, the performance didn't have enough power. Energy seemed subdued. Maybe I just prefer the song in full when performed.

i love the costume. it just screams GOLD in my face. the head gear is from AT2005 right! good to see past costumes put to good use!!

vocal wise.. not very good imo. but it's ok!

Thanks for sharing the links, she looked awesome. (That skirt makes her look even tinier though.)

She was definitely stunning!!

She did a much better job this year. I'm so glad she chose INSPIRE.

Well, doesn't surprise me about Perfume. That uploader is a big fan. ^^

[AyuWorld]

^
as I thought,weird since Ayu is the first so hers should be earlier than others ,nvm seems shes not a fan of Ayu

The main uploads atm are Perfume / Linked Horizon / NanaTMR, which were available on Chinese sites for a while. We should see the others come up in the next few hours.

That's the current situation, there are cappers in Japan that provide HD files in private and they get shared at Chinese sites first (before JPopsuki).
It's dangerous to share directly. They don't want to get caught by the law.

I love that Moulin Rouger / Nicole Kidman hair piece, it looks great on Ayu, she should use it more often.

[Yoake]

I love the throne is better than the armchair that she used for a-nation.

I dun even know if the red team is that bad. I mean come on, it's so weird to see white team winning 8 times in the past 10 years. I dun even know what's happening anymore...

[LEOyumi]

Yes!! The performance was just added on Jpopsuki!

[truehappiness]

It's the sheer amount of fans, I suppose. If white did not have JE, they would definitely almost lose every year.

[bluegie]

The point is, JE has been existing for ages. Unless they changed the voting system 10 years ago or so, I can't explain how white team always got massive votes in recent years.

I think it all started with arashi becoming extremely popular 5-6 years ago...

Arashi alone can have magic like that...?

Perhaps AKB should insert some special gifts in the cd to lure more fans to vote for the red team then... . There are the best sellers in the last four years.

And probly ayu should make a super big opening next year. That might help as well .

Yes. Why else have they been hosts for the last 3-4 Kouhaku?
