What?! She struggles so much trying to hit the refrain notes even in the studio version of this song ...Her vocals sound very forced and strained during refrain/chorus. It's an amazing song though and I'm very excited to hear it live again

progress goes to either D5 or D#5, not exactly sure about which of those, but both are perfectly in her range. The chorus of forgiveness basically consists of D#5s and she did perfectly on POWER of MUSIC. BRILLANTE has lots of D5s in it, M goes even higher, she needs E5 and hit those in POWER of MUSIC.
The reason she struggles on the studio version of progress is that it was recorded BEFORE her new vocal lessons, D5 and D#5 are both at the top of her range, but they are her go-to high notes literally in half of her songs, she can hit them well, she just needs to be in a good condition that day and support her voice properly. But when she supports it properly for the quiet parts of progress it sounds like screaming to many people with no musical knowledge whatsoever.

So yeah she may **** up since she doesn't seem to warm up her voice properly before TV performances, but it's the perfect song for her voice so as long as she concentrates on hitting the notes she can sing it very well.

I think..
If ayu will sing 'progress' so absolutely ayu will be opening performance (again, again, again, and again) for Kouhaku Uta Gassen ~___~
this song matching for opening perform.

I hope ayu'll sing just alone, without her bands.
NO Pecco, NO Yoko, NO Yo-chan, NO Enrique NO Shingo Kobayashi, NO orchestra, NO bands.

Just alone (ehmm... Or just with her dancers? ;p)

Just alone with beautiful (glamorous) gown,
and she'll change the gown with a rock costume on 'progress' interlude.
She'll broke the gown #giggle

progress is a band song, so I doubt she'll be alone. Anyway, if she really did a costume change on stage, she'll need dancers to help with that, so that dream of ayu performing alone just flew out the window.

I have a feeling that Ayu's going to start out the Kouhaku once again - for the fourth straight year...

(I still remember 2008, when Ayu started out a Kouhaku for the first time - the first performer of the Kouhaku...)

[TITANIC]

yyeeeyy she's going to sing Progress.i hope there is the choreography for the performance

[RayJason]

I'm excited for progress! ~

[Chibi-Chan]

progress!!!!

[Didz-19]

yeah for Progress!!!!!

[stivenoto]

yes....
Ayu will sing progress....

Cant wait for kouhaku this year....

[Bigtop]

I think we're lucky that Ayu's not in MSSL, because apparently KeyHoleTV's not showing TV Asahi...maybe the guys there blacked out TV Asahi for the MSSL? (Maybe because of the very high potential of overcrowding?)

This does not make sense. We are lucky Ayu is not performing because if she was we wouldn'T be able to watch it live? You know we would still get a TV recording a few minutes to hours later, right? So it's still not getting a performance at all while, had Ayu performed, we would get one.

dude do you think before you post stuff like this? Even if it's a joke...it's just...I can't

[Bigtop]

Well, MSSL's over, but now the next thing is the Kouhaku...

[Gkone01]

Ayu will be once again the 1st artist to perform on Kouhaku

I knew it again.

[AyUmIXx]

Great!
Progress will be a great opener for KOUHAKU =))

[~angel*ayumi~]

I guess Ayu was too much stressed with performing later, because her CDL is on the same day. I remember this video were she was rushing from Kouhaku to her CDL and giving interviews while getting styled. Perhaps she doesn´t want this rushing anymore.

[Zemus]

I think Porno Graffitti are most stressed. They are performing as the 14th act, while they have to travel all the way to Chiba city for their count down live. Ayu's travel distance is less than 5 minutes.
