I did I know it's overpriced because I only have a strong interest in Ayu and Kuu, but at least this will give me the illusion of attending an a-nation show at least once in my life lmaoo

I literally only want to see Ayu and I'm curious about Kalen and that's about it. Still unsure of whether I pay or just wait for someone to upload...

^This. Ayu didn't move her body much in the begining, but she didn't really have to because her face was always expressive.

ayu was the first J-pop artist I followed religiously and I just took her stage charisma for granted. I never realised how much she commands the stage after I started watching performances of her contemporaries. it's crazy how much presence she exudes with just a look, a hand gesture, and other small things.

^Yeah, Hikki most likely would do better on stage nowadays had she toured more... But still, counting her touring, TV lives, internet performances, etc, she is not unexperienced either. Not hating on though, I'm a fan and watched pretty much every live performance of hers that I could get my hands on.

I don't think Kalen looked dead in the eyes during her TV performances though... Still, she looks mostly stiff and clearly has no idea of what to do during the instrumentals, but I don't think it's too bad for someone with so little performance experience.

[MKAyu]

Ayu has said that with her knee and hearing the best thing to do would be to stop performing on stage, but the reason she doesn't is because she herself isn't prepared to do that. I think her charisma comes from her own joy in performing. It's the greatest joy in her life, and it shows.

Ayu's way of dealing with this problem is annoying: she starts screaming "Yeah!!!" and "Whoo!!!" countless times, ruining the song

Yeah, she has done enough performances where it shouldn't matter that she does less than some other people. She has great songs, she just isn't charismatic. Charismatic performers are hard to find, especially in Japan.

VLive is good for streaming, the quality of the stream is usually high even on a slower connection (at least in my experience).

It's great that the opportunity is there for us gaijin, but I just paid for KARD's concert and the WM Entertainment concert so I have no money for it this time LOL

I'm guessing the setup will be like the recent Korean Dream Concert where they hosted it on an indoor stage and had the acts perform like a standard TV Show. Hopefully with the bigger acts they might have bigger space and pyrotechnics/special effects?

[Gustavopc]

Are the names in order of appearance? It looks odd to me to see ayu so early, plus Kalen being placed right before Kumi when I was expecting avex to pair her up with ayu lol

[Chibi-Chan]

^Alphabetically But by surname first, like Ayumi Hamasaki, Kalen Anzai, Koda Kumi (for some reason Kuu is the other way around) Kohmi Hirose etc.

[Gustavopc]

Ohhh I see Wouldn't have thought of that lmao Thanks!

[pommy48]

Ayu should have been in the middle, but she stylize her name as "ayumi hamasaki" lol

[~angel*ayumi~]

Not sure yet, nearly 50 bucks is a lot, plus I am visiting friends this weekened.
