You were... / BALLAD information and covers [VIII]

[dreamland2.0]

you were sounded good... The shouting bits don't bother me too much. I actually felt a bit like crying during evolution though I just think she should lay off performing her classic songs for a while or not as frequently because her voice just doesn't work with them anymore I hope the title of CDL will have something to do with this or perhaps rearranging the songs so she can sing them more easily.

@Keichii: You can find many interpretations of the BALLAD PV in the thread about the single's thoughts in the ayu chat room.

She has definitely been out of breath recently... and it's really getting worse over the years... IF she's smoking she really gotta stop, otherwise she should start running more to build up on her stamina, or get more breathing and vocal exercises.

I'm 15 and I love ayu so much! But I guess I'm one of the few. Man, I really hope more young people would love ayu, why do singers they have to sell their bodies to attract attention?

Can't wait for BALLAD PV, so beautiful.

When I fell in love with Ayu, I was 16 years old, I'm now 22. I'm sure at one point, there were a lot of young people that loved her, but we all grow up.... Lol

I am 16 and a fan since 2 years so I guess there ARE young people who love her. Not only me, I know some people who are about my age and like J-Pop (not all are a real Ayu fan, but at least they know her and like some of ther songs). My best friends are Ayu-fans, too, so.. (they are 16 and 17).

*waiting for the BALLAD HD*
Aww, this is gonna be so beautiful..

I'm 18 now, but I was 14 when I discovered Ayu by an accident on youtube. The first song I heard was Boys & Girls and the first thing that went through my mind was It wasn't the best first impression. I got I still find it hard listening to her earlier songs, but when I heard Startin' about a year later I was hooked

The BALLAD PV was beautiful even in LQ, so I can't wait for the HQ-version.

It's not, that's stupid. Everybody has the right to enjoy Music no matter what age they are. It kind of gets me, here at AHS a lot of people always say Ayu is old, too. But she isn't, she is just 31. That's still young, guys. Maybe I was the same when I was 17, but I doubt I ever thought like that. Everybody who says you're too old, just isn't mature enough. I know Japan is also a very age conscious society, but that's sick we're all getting older and the day when all those "OMG Ayu's a granny!"-People reach 30 will come sooner than they think, and no it's not the end of the world.

That's exacly, what I think. No.. it isn't the end of the world, when you become over 30. 30 is still young. I don't feel old.
And Ayu really don't looks old.
When I see some people I went to school with, I really think "Wow, he/she really became old". But.. Ayu looks young.
When I was around 14, I also thought, that 30 is old. But.. it isn't!
So, don't be afraid of becoming 30..

LoL, Thanks for reminding me. I'm turning the big 3 0 next year.

I don't care, Ayu still looks good at 31. Age ain't nothing but a number..

[Andrenekoi]

^why would that be bad?

[roanmy]

Is there a pic for Ayu's age chart-thingy?

[AyuWorld]

why would that be bad? nothing wrong there..they have the right too,no matter what age..everybody wants to entertain

@ roanmy: yepp before she starts singing they show the chart and read a fan letter to Ayu

[TeddyGrahams]

OMG evolution looks so fun! Although her vocals suck, she sure was able to pump up the crowd!!! Ayu wasn't known for her vocals anyways! I love how she forgots the lyrics then was out of breathe or tongue twisted, but she screamed GOMEN!!!(sorry) <3

You were... had so much emotion. I don't mind the shouting, well I'm used to it since she became deaf in one ear. ^^ This performance is better than MS for me.

[Polyrhythm]

What the heck......I thought last year, her perf. at the secret christmas live of evolution was bad...holy crap...this performance makes that one seem epic 0_o

[TITANIC]

anyway, You were... suppose to release the single this week against Fukuyama which his sales for today is 57,083
seems hard for ayu to beat him

[bluegie]

I agree. I was supposed to check Namie's first day sale and forgot that ayu was supposed to release You were this week. I saw Fukuyama's first day sale and was like, "well ayu may not be able to pull over 50K on the first day."
