Yes, she was sick. However, the Heartplace performance was AMAZING. One of her best ever I think. After that though, you could really hear her voice start to give out.

[Chibi_Venus]

^ Bet a strong song like Heartplace did that.

[Yarumi]

yeah... perhaps she overdid it in Heartplace... but oh what a great performance to blow your voice out on!

[HiruNoKaze]

lol since that's the only one I've seen, I do not yet connect CDL0203 to sick vocals like most people...

The set was nice too. And the vocals were epic.

[zeroshin888]

That explains why her voice sounded so bad on the CDTV Special Live 02-03...

totally agree with ya...but she's alrite in the performance =)

[ayumeg]

I sometimes think that her voice sounds particularly bad in some performances, but then in others it's amazing! Why is that? Does anyone know what affects this?

[Kikaru]

well, we all have days when our voice crack and phlegm, plus Ayu isn't immune to all flus and sickness.

So it's a human thing. Sometimes our voice will sound good, and sometimes bad.

[g~sus~]

she's so strong....

[pbs1605]

I imagine when you are healthy it is hard to do a concert so just imagine doing one when you are not well.poor Ayu.

[AyuGAME]

she was sick 99,99%

[freedreamer]

There's a huge difference between the TV ver. and the DVD... blah, well, much due to that the sound quality of the DVD simply is so much higher, and they strengthen certain sounds (especially the sounds the audience makes).

Didn't they talk about CDL0203 in the NTV Interview 2004? Haven't seen it, but I thought they mentioned it in that one.

Is that why she sounds so much better in the DVD version compared to the live version? Where are you getting this info, btw?

I couldn't believe the difference between the live and DVD versions of her CDL02-03 concert. I was telling someone how bad she sounded when I'd only seen the live version and they said, "What?! She sounded great!" I later found out they had only seen the DVD version. I had to see for myself what they were talking about so I watched the DVD version and yep, they were right.

^There's been several threads in which the fact that the DVDs are heavily edited are discussed. The facts are based on the evident proof that there are differences between the TV versions and the DVD versions, in the quality of her vocals.

I don't think there's any special thread about the matter itself but it is often brought up in relation to other matters, some of it was discussed here, it's the only place I can remember at this moment.

Hi there by the way! Long time no see!

[Jo-chan]

Thanks for that link. It does make sense that the DVD version was edited.
