Aside her winter ballads and summerpop songs the first performances of her songs never get bigger reactions from the audience I think, like Microphone, I don't remember seeing some great audience reaction.

do it again · #**202** 15th December 2010, 10:29 PM

Maybe they're too busy trying to listen all "wow this is cool and new i don't want 2 scream and act like a rabid dog bc i might miss what she is singing" and they really like it?

I think this album is amazing and I really want it to be successful.

You Were... = winter ballad that got quite a bit exposure before that performance already
evolution = just about her biggest hit

Love Song = for most people new or only known in part + just not a typical audience reaction song

japanese audience are like the opposite of korean audience on those music shows..korea has all the loud fanchants that goes with the song, but in japan its just utter silence and clapping when the song ends LOL

maybe ayu fans should start making fanchants

tokyoxjapanxfan · #**207** 15th December 2010, 11:02 PM

It's not that the audience doesn't like it, but rather, they don't know it. And plus, it's not like everyone there is there for Ayu.

It doesn't work though

I believe Ayu is trying to put the link for mobile phones up, haha. She did it with the do it again video as well. I don't think she knows that mobile links are different from normal computer links

jbrat2219 · #**208** 15th December 2010, 11:15 PM

I asked her if she or Avex or whoever would
consider putting her performances on her youtube channel. No response but soon after she tried to post that link. I'll try asking again later because that would be so convenient for us overseas fans lol.

Ranma Matsuri · #**209** 16th December 2010, 12:37 AM

Performance was a bit rough in the beginning but it was really good. I hope her vocals stay like this for a long while.

Beauty4123 · #**210** 16th December 2010, 12:59 AM

@ 3:23, she's better off having a side fringe than bangs

Overall a very solid performance, and it was evident that she's putting in lotsa effort to improve her vocals

SunshineSlayer · #**212** 16th December 2010, 01:27 AM

I really didnt like that Best Artist performance very much.

That mainly stems from the fact though that I think the song itself is kind of meh and I am not a fan of the way she chose to sing it in both the performance and the recording of the song itself. But in addition to that, I thought that the combination of the outfit, hair, and makeup just made her look quite weird actually. I can appreciate though that she was definitely going all out with the performance and took a chance performing a new song.

Jwiz · #**213** 16th December 2010, 01:29 AM

Same sentiments with regards to your last point. Her recent makeup made her looked so weird and overly mature.

You know when people are amazed with something, they can't help but stare at it without doing anything

And audience's reactions are definitely secondary. What matters more is that imo this live performance was much better than you were's and microphone's.

adantatu2 · #**214** 16th December 2010, 01:38 AM

Really nice performance!!!!!
Beautiful !!!!!
her eyes looks so cute!!!!

Bigtop · #**215** 16th December 2010, 02:17 AM

I quite like the performance! It's NOT the (exactly) last year's MISHAP when she messed up singing "evolution"! Remember that?

Her hair is back to where she had in 2006!

But, uh, exactly, why am I hearing some negative reactions with the outfit and the makeup? She's 32, after all, but at least she did not make mistakes like what she did exactly one year ago...

adantatu2 · #**217** 16th December 2010, 02:44 AM

here! the video of the last year, if you can't remember

Oh evolution was a disaster

love in music · #**218** 16th December 2010, 02:58 AM

^yeah, she was so much better this year. that's why I'm so so proud of her! her voice sounds a million times better.

se7entheaven · #**219** 16th December 2010, 03:43 AM

her outfit is a modification on this year's RnRC's Microphone dress. She sounds great

Haha..I wonder. You know, I went to watch NEWS,ARASHI and AKB48's performances...and ok...I can totally see the difference between the music of them and Ayu. If japan is going through a music evolution again at this point, along with swarming k-POP groups, ayu's music is just not gonna fit in that market, cept her summer pop and pop ballads (which may even feel too slow for today's hyper pop generation).

Of course, they may just be stunned at her charisma and I dunno how Love song sounds but I know its not Just a pop song and certainly not one you can wave lightsticks to. The reason why I turned up the volume at the end after watching a muted video was to see how they reacted at the end. Not bad.

About her makeup, that's just to bring intensity. its not like she does this all the time..and costume?? Come on, japan is famous and cosplay and visual ..this costume is just a more rock-ish outfit.
