[News] Ayu to perform at Music Station 31 March

[maxikot]

^ Well, these days people keep spitting such words on every possible matter they dislike. Sadly it's not stopping but getting more intense. I wouldn't take it seriously because of that. Although it should be absolutely unacceptable.

I finally got around to watching it and it could honestly be one of my least fave perfs to date

Timmy needed to be wearing a shirt (his outfit is fine other than his weird no-shirt-backwards-suspenders thing) and Ayu's vocals in TO BE felt more like she was talking through the song til she just randomly screamed in the chorus. She could have pulled it right back to just bare vocals and trailed off with a softer voice after the end of the chorus and I think it would've turned out much better.

Ourselves was good and her and Timmy both performed well. Her hair could've been done better but I liked her dress...it kind of reminded me of her white dress in don't look back.

I feel like since Ayu does so well in her concerts her (rare) TV lives should be nothing but she was really struggling and it makes me sad to see mean comments being written about her and even worse when I feel like her performances are bad.

I don't know if it's positive or negative, but at least Ayu seems to have no fucks to give lol.

I think what Ayu needs right now is someone who will tell her straight what's wrong and what she needs to improve. And probably someone who is brave enough to slap her and wake her up if she refuses to listen. lol

True. Honestly I don't think ayu has any true friends. They're all afraid of her obviously, a true friend would've put her in check a long time ago.

You are talking as if she was a Japanese Justin Bieber, arrested, caught with drugs or something like that lol Ayumi has to be one of the most hard-working women in pop, only last year she put out an album and had two nation-wide tours. Last year she had two tours, an album and an EP... She sounds good sometimes, she sounds bad sometimes, but let's not forget that the woman has a physical discapacity that is especially damaging for singers, yet she has chosen to go on. For every tour she rehearses like a pro to offer a great show to her fans. She sounds bad sometimes, her makeup is bad sometimes, her outfits are ugly sometimes. But let's not turn this into something bigger than it is, we have to accept that ever since she lost her audition her performances are going to be good sometimes, bad other times. And i don't get why you are so concerned about what the japanese audiences think, Ayu is so far from their ideal pop girl, she is not a 17 year old idol.

yes I'm worried about what Japanese fans think, ayu is a JAPANAESE ARTIST. I'm worried about how she sounds like these days and Where her carrier is heading. Why?? Is it a problem to worry about ayu, do you get to decide what I get worried about?. Yes I think she doesn't have honest people around her, and yes I agree with With what hayasaki said.

I don't know. I've asked a lot of native Japanese what they thought about her just over the years, even recently, and the response is always something between "she's too commercial" or that they flat out just don't like her at all.

You might think that but the truth is that she's still focusing her career in Japan alone so if she loses all her japanese fans I think she's over.

Don't know what that article says, but I can't believe Ayu is already 38!!! She looks so flawless and gorgeous! *_*

[Surreal17]

@Mirrorcle Monster : I agree so much with what you've said.

[truehappiness]

Whenever I've asked Japanese people about it, it was like... "Oh, she still releases stuff?" or "I really liked BLUE BIRD!" or something. Nowadays however, I can see things getting more negative when you ask normal people since all they'd have seen about her lately is divorce news.

Man, I can't tell you how many times people have said the same exact thing to me when I mention I like her.

At least people didn't ask "is she still alive?"
