Yes A Song is Born was a really nice surprise.

And how I loved when she invited the audience to sing along. The atmosphere was so powerful and emotional. And the way Ayu sang in Keiko's parts reminded me of Keiko herself, how much power she put into her voice.

I was also surprised that I loved the Ourselves performance. I read so many reviews of the new composition that I thought for sure I was gonna hate it. But I really really enjoyed it. It's like it's almost a completely new song, so they can't really compare. Also the performance with Ourselves was killer. Very very strong and filled with angry chaos feeling. FLOWER was also very cool!

I love meeting AHS members so I was very happy to meet you both, Kendelle and Hayasaki!

OMG!! Where is this footage from? Broadcasting? I'm confused.

But I loved! She looks amazing and the audience was really singing along.

Edit: ok, just saw it on her instagram lol

Embarrassingly bad vocals in that clip. I've been rewatching a lot of performances from 2002-2007 lately, it's crazy how she used to sound sooo good and now we get this...

^ I second that

Ear lose, aging, too many tours, vocals chords tired... 2015 was an amaing year for her vocally, but as long as she keeps this touring shcedule we can't ask for anything better

I thought Ayu was shouting so loudly at times in A Song is Born. But it wasn't terrible overall and the arrangement sounded nice. I'm also reminded I don't want Timmy.

I was surprised to see video. Does this mean there is more footage from the show?

It's getting really old and we all know what you think about her vocals, so no need to keep repeating it

Accept the fact she is yelling most of the time. Sometimes it sounds good, sometimes it doesn't.

There are so many vocals gaps in that time period that I’m not even sure what you mean... it’s only my opinion I guess but AT 2005 was near perfect, when AT06 was (vocally, apart from that still one of her best shows) horrendous, 2007 was... lipsynched?

I honestly believe later concerts like Cirque de minuit or RnRC sounded better than AT06 to be fair.

And To be honest: I love Ayu with all my heart, she is by oh so very far my favourite artist EVER, but it’s never been for her vocal performances.

Some artists record each show to watch it after and decide what looks good and what to change. There are only 2 angles at this clip - from the balcony and from the backstage, so I guess that's technical recording.
I'm just interested if ayu keep all of them or delete from time to time

pedronekoi · #10 30th January 2018, 03:48 PM

^ Actually there's 3 angles in this clip - the first one is a close up. But it doesn't look like a very professional shooting (the camera is shaking and the zoom out in the beginning is really amateur) so I think Aderianu is right to say it's a technical recording.

I think she sounded really similar to the footage from Hotel Love Songs 2012 in Sendai that was later released. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiopAxuKBhI)

Aderianu · #11 30th January 2018, 03:52 PM

^that looks like recording of video from screens

kendelle · #12 31st January 2018, 06:54 AM

There is a guy literally holding the camera like a handycam in the front row and down the sides of the stage. There's 4 security guys standing against the front row but that's all that's separating Ayu from row 1.

There seem to be a lot of Chinese Ayu fans at these concerts. All the tickets at the TA booth except for mine had Chinese names on them lol

My Live Pocket reservation numbers were A9 for 01/29, A4 for today 01/31 and A1 for 02/06. Anyone get any higher or lower numbers and what row did you get? I got row 13 for my first ticket, so it'll be interesting if the retain numbers have any correlation to where you are seated and if we can work out how many max were allocated for Global TA. It might help people prep for the 20th tour.

I don't think there's any correlation between the voucher number and the actual seat, it seems kinda random...

For me :
- Chiba (chap. II) : Voucher = A3, actual seat = 7th row
- Nara (chap. III) : Voucher = A10, actual seat = 6th row

Both tickets won through Global TA (and kinda satisfied with the seats)

I don’t think they do - my A1 was the worst of the bunch.

Yeah! It's the intro of a song is born. The same as Hotel Love Songs and PoM.

yabieru · #19 31st January 2018, 07:55 PM

I had A6 and A7 for two tickets for the First Chapter in Osaka for the same day. Both were 15th row

ayuuk · #20 1st February 2018, 09:15 AM

What does A3 or A10 mean?

I thought the exact seat location is already printed on the ticket, and global fans will not know the seat location until they get the tickets at the TA booth?
