[TA news] AYU will give her performance at NHK "SONGS"!

[ayumisrael]

I actually like that ayu sings Movin' on without you.
She actually wants to show the Japanese how she rules over the original song putting life into it while having an up to date version.

I was super close, and it was a really cool experience. Like a private concert for 600 people haha.

They asked us not to share the track list but someone else did so I don't feel so bad :-p

I was interviewed in the waiting area to give a message directly to Ayu. They interviewed me in japanese then asked for an English message. I told Ayu that she has lots of fans in western countries so if she has the chance please perform. You're welcome. Lol

Thank you!!! Also thank you for the info! I look forward to watching the performances.

The Utada cover was shocking and cool initially but now she's beating it like a dead horse. One performance as part of CDL was enough.

[BlackSilence]

^she definitely needs to let go of that cover already... i'm sick of it. Instead give one of YOUR OWN songs a chance to see the light again. Seriously, Ayu =/

[Ryusei]

I'm ok with M and evolution because both songs are epic and awesome to me but SEASONS is so boring to me... MOWY, why not lol I love it and Step by Step was expected. I'm looking forward to the broadcast, I wanna know if she sang "Maria" with that american R again lol

Also about the things Coelacanth said: I actually agree with most of it, we saw that the Last Minute Performance had a positive effect on sales and the public, I think she should have sung one more song that is new rather than 3 old ones. Or just one from the gap between 2001 -> 2014 I mean she has plenty of amazing songs within that 13 (!!!) year period. Maybe substitute SEASONS with Love song or smth.. Something semi-new that's awesome.. that all IF she gets to decide any of that. But as I mentioned above I'm ok with it.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm still excited to see this performance...no matter how much I wish Summer diary were performed in place of M...lol

[holy_arrow]

OMG, the white dress. It must be M and seem similar to "Virgin road" in 2010
So exciting to the next week

I'm so over her wedding gown, like please get rid of it asap

[Gustavopc]

^ I was going to say exactly the opposite, I LOVE ayu in wedding gowns Ansious for the performances nonetheless

[Material Boy]

I think she's overused the concept, it's getting old (and kinda tacky TO ME, even tho I know it would appeal to the Japanese audience =))

[Chris85]

Do they edit vocals for this program or leave them untouched?

[YukiUsagi]

They will not edit.

[Honey_Jae]

I really love Ayu in wedding dresses...if they are beauftiful. Don't like the one she wears during Virgin Road Live. Want to see a better pic from this dress

[chocopockymaster]

I feel like I've seen her wear that dress a million friggin' times before.

[tenshi no hane]

I don't blame her. I would use any excuse to wear wedding dresses

The show will also include a long interview. Apparently she'll also talk a little about what Hikki thought about her cover. (source: mdpr.jp)

Do people in Asia have a thing for wedding dresses?

Don't forget she said she wanna go back to basic again so wedding dress is a must lol. I think Asian has a thing for princessy thing and wedding and white dress and all things delicate and girlie. So whenever they see wedding dress they be like @_@

As a fan who never watch these old songs being performed in person, I will cry in happiness. But as a fans who've followed her for 15 years, this is kinda dissapointing.

[Delirium-Zer0]

If I had just made a guess about the set list it woulda been this, hahaha... MAYBE I'd have guessed BLUE BIRD rather than Movin' on without you, but aside from that, yup.

[axmish87]

I am really looking forward to this although the setlist is unexciting to say the least but I don't mind.
Don't know if I should say this but how cool would be if Utada and Ayu (wait for it) sang TOGETHER Movin' on without you once on a TV show or a tour or whatever :-)
