Ayu ~Anything Goes XIX~

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

The account that's updated all of this is amazing. It sucks they'll get taken down eventually. So many things that I haven't seen forever! Because my entire video collection is gone and has been since like 2008 lol.

I bought a Lumix when I got to Japan because of Ayu too. TBH my friends cheaper Sony took far better pics lolol. I initially bought Momo no Tennensui because of Ayu too back in 2004~5-ish. Ahh...so nostalgic lol.

Anyways, the guy turned out to be a scam artist and went like mental on my mom and quite literally told her to fuck off and he's gonna rack up a bunch of charges on her credit card anyway.

We had to cancel the card obviously. Lol.

Ugh, were you able to cancel the card in time? People can be so scary at times. Yeah, I bought it from an electronics store, then some years later when they improved the zoom I ordered a new version from amazon.

When I see these old commercials or live performance, her cheeks didn't look so plumpy like these days.

I bought a Lumix in 2007 I think and it's still going strong! I do probably need to upgrade soon because I need a camera for taking good product shots but I have loved my lumix!



Pretty sure this was the advert for my camera

I had the one from this CM xD

I bought a Lumix a few years ago because of Ayu as well but I don't think she's ever advertised that particular model

[pedronekoi]

I went to an old japanese books and magazines fair here in São Paulo and found a magazine with this Panasonic ad on the back. I freaked out when I saw it but in the end someone had already bought it. Such an iconic image.

This one! It's full of rarities

[pedronekoi]

^ This is one of my favorite moments of her hahaha Especially because it was such an important event! Watching all this old performances I've noticed that she messes with the lyrics a lot! hahah Love it

I miss HEYx3 so much. Not only was it a great show, but I feel like Ayu was always at her most natural when she appeared as a guest.

[Surreal17]

Agree, ayu seems more comfortable there than on Music Station for example.

[truehappiness]

I think it's because HEY!HEY!HEY! had more one on one time with guests compared to MUSIC STATION where they maybe get a few minutes before the other person has to perform or do their interviews.

[voltron]

HEYx3 was also more comedic, because of Downtown hosting it. So it's less of a "stuffy" atmosphere...more than just, come here, talk about your song/album/tour, etc. And more based on doing something funny, or having an interesting (but offtopic) discussion, etc.

[owlflight]

Still sitting here waiting for new music...

[pedronekoi]

I really love this live and everything about this era <3

[voltron]

^ Watching a lot of older performances on that YouTube channel that's been going around, it's funny to see that even back in the day (probably Secret onwards), she had a ton of dancers on stage with her a lot of the time. So funny that people are just picking up on it now, or complaining about it -- but it's really not that different, I think we just know who many of them are now.

[truehappiness]

I think the issue is that nowadays it's spilled over into ballads among other tracks during concerts. Sometimes Ayu gets lost in what's happening on stage, especially post 2008, I'd say.
