Ayu Schedule #4 - TV Appearances, Magazines, etc.

[njanjayrp]

the performance itself was visually stunning, I'd feel bad if I had to perform after her. Her vocals were as good as usual and I simply love the costume she had on.

[miskiq]

actually it was very good as I was watching from my tv...yeah the audince was a bit quiet...maybe the show just started

[Mai82Go]

Wow, what a fantastic performance. I loved her hair and outift. Ayu managed to look cool, cute and sexy at the same time! I'm happy she did Rule, so much more fun than You were...

PS: I hate AHS crashing every 2 seconds. Aargh.

PPS: Kouhaku Audience is always like this. I think it's mostly old people who don't really care about anything but enka. So no screaming Ayu Fans there.

[love in music]

I loved her "HA!" near the end lol. I need this performance in HD!

I remember there were quite a few people screaming "Ayu" back in 2005, but I guess she didn't perform first that year and I am guessing that there simply weren't that many fans of hers there considering the CDL would start in a few hrs ^_^

I remember watching a old performance from Morning Musume years ago on Kouhaku when I didn't know anything at all about J-Pop and I remember thinking "Man, this audience doesn't care at all." They looked like they didn't even understand what was going on there. haha.

identity, I have to agree. That yell at the end was win!

[AyuWorld]

yea,the audience kinda borink

[nemesisyume]

love her outfit!
didn't watch with sound yet bcos I'm watching TV

[asmAyumi1992]

Too bad I missed it! I've got something to do at time and my heart was beating faster coz I really wanna watch it but I couldn't. (T^T)

But it's okay now because someone uploaded it. Thank you!!!

I love everything she done! The hair was really
I love the amazing kimono. Her voice too! And and... all of them!!!
Oh god, I'm really excited right now!

[aura~]

wow it was so amazing!! I need HD of this!! I love the outfit her hair, how was it visually, how they changed a bit the coreography, and her vocals were also good *-*!!!


yeah.. while watching it and seeing how the audience were like mummys I remembered I always hate japanese audience... -_____- (it's not a hate, hate, it's only that I would die of happiness if I were in their place!!) I've seen only a few times a jumping/screaming/active audience... and some of this few times were fans from TA so... I don't know you but I would be jumping/dancing/singing happy even if I'm not a fan... for example I'm not a big fan of ai otsuka, but I wouldn't act like a mummy... maybe it's something cultural... the personality often change depending on the country but.. x)

[Mai82Go]

^it depends on the audience. There are responsive audiences in Japan as well. Watch the Johnny's Countdown later tonight and compare that to Kouhaku - you will see the difference. But generally speaking, you are right. They are often so quiet there and look bored - it makes me sad for the artists, but they are probably used to it.

[aura~]

yeah, yeah, I've seen also some audience that are active... sometimes even in an Ayu AT/CDL DVD when they show the crowd you can see guys/girls standing with a serious face without moving!! I always start shoutng: "YOU come here and give me your AT ticked if you aren't enjoying Ayu!!!" XDDD I also feel sad for ayu sometimes... she looks so happy, smiling, shouting... and I'd would feel bad and stupid if I were in front of so many people who are looking at me like this -_- xddd

[Corvina]

Guys, you should at least try to understand Japan's mentality.
Some Japanese just aren't extroverted.
But that doesn't mean they don't love their artists.

I had a whole big response written for that, but I decided not to post it. I'm just trying to say that the Kouhaku audience is different. It's been like this for years now. But I have to write one thing: Please stop assuming that others are not trying to understand different cultures and mentalities, when you know nothing about us. It's an unfair thing to do.

[love in music]

I actually think the audience with ayu usually shows a lot of excitement..and it seems like they're actually showing it more than usual nowadays. It was really noticeable at AT08, then AT09, a-nation 09, and you were/evolution @ best artist. I don't think a lot of ayu fans made it to the newest Rule live or something

[Ayu_no_tenshi]
