I heard many people say they would have preferred an upbeat opening or simply another song...but it's just what I heard on AHS so...

HAPPY ENDING was the perfect opening imo. It's not often that artists open with ballads.

It's not like her vocals been bad all the time since AT07. In terms of vocal performances have ppl already forgot her amazing parts in R'n'RC tour? I mean count down and Memorial Address was to die for. So so soooo good. count down sounded way better than the studio version even.

We had such a nice time. We started dating in t2m PV, took it slow you know, let our love grow. Then it got really serious in 2008. Then after AT2009 we moved in together. It was lovely. Then on AT2010 he asked me to marry him. He was such a sweet. And Ayu gave us our blessings. She was also such a sweet. Now me and Maro are such a sweets together. Aaaw, how time flies.

Japanese have never much appreciated her vocals, it's rather style & lyrics
& apperance. but even the last is always too controversial

She sang her ballads almost as good as she sings them right now on AT05, that much is definitely true. Her vocals were far from perfect but on the DVD they ended up sounding quite good for most songs. Makes you wonder why she relied on playback for some upbeat songs + CAROLS. Or maybe they were overdubbed afterwards...no idea...she was definitely good enough to sing them well live so...maybe she needed pauses xD

^ idk, I thought her AT05 vocals (except for a few songs) sounded a lot better than most of her other concerts, and it's not like it was the only one with edited vocals. I think she's sounded really bad since AT07, whether she sings well ~technically~ or not. I've just come to terms with the fact that I don't the sound of her voice live anymore.

^Well... I really like her voice in AT07... but it's her most edited concert ever... They could easily use some of that vocals for a studio recording @_@'

Some songs sound pretty bad even edited, even when edited to hit the notes perfectly and stuff it was obvious that her voice was rather weak at times. SURREAL is really bad imo.

Sorry, what I meant was everything after AT07. I like her AT07 voice as far as I can remember.

when she was in her peak 2000/2001 no one said that his voice was ugly everyone thought she had talent especially when she began composing after that ...

^One of the reasons why people found it easy relating to her was her bad vocals... They saw her as a normal girl that made it big, and this gave people a "everyone can get there" feeling... I read it in more than one article about Ayu written during her peak
