I agree, I can forgive off-key moments as long as there's no screaming. I thought this day would never come. Her actually singing made a huge difference. I tried watching her recent shows, but I couldn't enjoy them at all, it was like a torture and I deleted them and was about to give up on her. There's no guarantee she will keep singing like that, but at least there's hope...

Chris85 · #2 2nd January 2020, 04:06 PM

What songs did she perform for the first time? Correct me if I'm wrong, but she has performed all of them before.

You're right, I confess I lost track of her last tour performances as I got less interested in them...
But yeah, I was mostly thinking about SAKURA.

Exactly! There's still a lot of room for improvement. But this make me hope for more.

She has but this is the first time that a SAKURA performance got recorded (not counting that short acapella in 2015).
Pretty sure everything else had been performed (and recorded) before but a lot of these haven't been done for quite some time.

I got ripped to shreds for making a similar comment in Kuu’s thread once upon a time but there have been studies that show pregnancy hormones can have demonstrable effects on vocal cords............obviously she’s trying to change the way she controls her voice but so there could be lots going on here, just thought I’d throw that in for good measure

Yep, they definitely change how you sing. I remember a comment from Pat Benatar that she recorded two albums while she was pregnant because suddenly her range became even better while pregnant.

A female friend of mine who is a singer told me once how much hormones can affect one's ability to sing, and how women can find a harder time in sounding consistent considering periods and such.

KLJames · #11 2nd January 2020, 06:18 PM

seriously, am i the only one hate the new version of "identity"?
that song so great but i really dunno what she doing there, whip dance with drag queen for her female dancers??

shuya, plz come back!!!! 10 years gone, that performance from NL tour still ROCK!!!

Katsuyuki012 · #12 2nd January 2020, 07:09 PM

^It was only a short acapella but here, you can hear it in the first 50 seconds of this video: https://m.facebook.com/ayu.esp/videos/964711610300735/

@KLJames I really liked it but I'm not the biggest fan of Hikaru. I don't really mind him that much, though and I'm glad she performed it again.

ExodusUK · #17 2nd January 2020, 08:22 PM

omg her son is truly a mirrorcle baby if he really has improved her vocals

YUKARI · #18 3rd January 2020, 12:48 AM

I watched the concert last night. it was really great! not sure if I like the circle stage though but I enjoyed watching it.

kyo_arayuru · #19 3rd January 2020, 04:47 AM

where i can find photos from the show en good quality?

kendelle · #20 3rd January 2020, 11:33 AM

I finally finished watching it. What a treasure of a concert! I love that she did SAKURA again, it really bought me back to the first concerts I attended in 2015 hehe

This was a hell of a show, Ayu just oozes charisma through the screen. She must have been so tired and nervous about announcing her baby but she's such a professional throughout. It's why I admire her so much
