Ayu to appear on FNS festival on August 8

[Kogepan_19]

@ truehappiness - I agree with you on that! For some reason, I felt like she's always been doing that in her a-nation appearances since '06, but maybe I'm just mashing them all up together now. As an aside, lthough she changes some songs to cue the audience to sing along for example with Boys & Girls, sometimes I wish she'd just sing it normally lol.

I watched it again in HD and it wasn't bad at all

[ren'ai]

I don't know why, but I was kinda embarrassed for her watching that. She looked great, I loved the whole look but the performance... it wasn't awful but for a somewhat ~comeback~ to TV lives, it was extremely.. underwhelming I guess

why does it sounded like as if she has a mouthful of water in her mouth or something struck in her throat when she's singing???...

i agree. i'm sure if you're there in the moment it helps build up hype, but otherwise i really don't enjoy it much.

the performance was fun though, lots of energy!

the outfit on the other hand was one of her ugliest ever, haha!

still, i'm so glad to see her on TV! please ayu, give us more TV performances!

[kalikagai]

Well, watched it just now.

Her vocals are impressevily good, she looks awesomely fresh and bright, the perfomance was much fun. Enjoyed it a lot.

So, I can't see any possible complaints at all.

[Jawdarna]

I thought her performance was pretty good for an artist that has been touring since April. Her voice isn't at its prime at the moment. The only thing I thought was truly negative was her outfit; its like 2010 Rihanna-esque. :/

[Earth_maiden]

The outfit looked like the one she wears at cdl11-12/AT12, at least the top bit. It wasn't a bad performance to me, but I can understand why non die-hard Ayu fans would find it less than appealing.

[isthisLOL?]

Watching it in higher quality. This is one of her best vocal performances on TV, yes, ever. Clear, controlled and dynamic vocals, on spot especially when she isn't moving much and that for two seriously hard songs, especially You & Me. It's interesting how much audio quality can distort vocal quality even with such good vocals.

[waterballoon]

holy **** her vocals were great... Greatful days was cute. she has improved so much... ***** needs to get on TV more often.. i miss this all

[AyuWorld]

watched it again in HD on the big screen,gosh so freaking love it! feel like dancing along.

that outfit resembles the one in CDL11-12 but this one is waaaaay better than the previous one,really

her vocal was great,You & Me is a pretty hard song to sing it live,and glad she didnt use her nasal voice for Greatful Days, my ears enjoy it more haha

[stepYOU1234]

Not a huge fan of the outfit but I'm just not a neon fan and it did go with the feel of the performance. And with a performance that good I can totally overlook the outfit! If Ayu does fewer lives but they are all this good then I don't mind!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Yeah, she did a great job even though she was obviously nervous So proud!

[Mari-chan]

I really enjoyed watching the performance. I think, it was a good performance. Ok, her outfit wasn't really good.. but I really don't care about it.

saw this on her FB, anyone knows or can translate what is this Summer Party about? something like they'll be playing Ayu's songs tonight?

[krazeyo]

When I watched You & Me, I thought how nice! She's only bringing a couple of her dancers and not her whole posse.

And then Greatful Days started and all the dancers came running out hahahahhaha.

[ExodusUK]

What was Shu-ya doing during You & Me? He was pulling up his shirt and feeling his crotch..just weird. I guess he's trying to grab some attention.

[Tony G]

Watched the live in HD. Seriously, no complaints. Great vocals but most important of all she looked like she was having so much fun. Back in her TV performing prime, you rarely saw her that excited during a performance. Seeing her do these lives once in a while is enough if the standard is this high.

Probably only time her vocals were off was during the verses of Greatful Days when she was dancing. But she nailed it when it mattered in that song.

Next TV live will be Kouhaku I guess, lol.
