About the screaming, she has always done that. It's just that it sounds so much better if you sing like that with high pitch. The problem is that Ayu tries to sing the same way now, but with lower voice, thus it sounds like she's screaming.
The only thing I can't stand is the cutesy voice she has used more recently. It doesn't sound genuine when she does that. |

^every time i roll my eyes when i hear this. lol

^ Why?

I don't care for her cutesy voice either. She isn't a teenager anymore... she hasn't been for a VERY long time.
One of the problems I feel with Ayumi is that the things that made her great and connect with a lot of people back in the day are not the same things that people are concerned with now. Her fan base fell in love with what she was saying. What she was doing. Her fan base grew up. She did not. |

Auto-tune (known for awful pitch-correction artifacts) is not the only pitch-correction software. Melodyne for example treats voice much more gently, voice still sounds pretty natural. If a person was slightly off-key, it can fix your voice the way it's even hard to tell that something was fixed. I used that program and it does wonders. |
Hmm i'm seriously curious on this whole screaming thing and her vocal technique or the lack of it. I'll have to give some TV lives for a friend of mine who's a vocalist in training to have a listen. She straight out told GACKT had folk influences on his voice not even knowing him at all. Which he did. So i think she might give some insight in this. To compare her older performances and very new ones.

And the vocal/screaming/off key/high pitch/edition discussion is back again :sleeping

It is kind of a broken record-type discussion though since nothing new is really discussed IMO. Always the same people saying the same things. I think a big issue is that she's probably touring a bit too much since she sounds fine early on in the tours/performances but then things get way off due to illness or overdoing it. With the tour being her longest ever this year, I'm a bit worried for her midway through and during the finale.
|
As someone who casually flips in and out of these threads, I always appreciate the updates from people who have seen her live more recently and can compare to older tours. I can appreciate that it's a more tired topic for those who check more regularly though.

I'm wondering if her first date of the -Just the Beginning 20- tour will be on 8th of April, it's Saturday.
|
^too early. Usually it's ~2 months between announcement and first date
|
Maybe she'll divide the tour in two with a month of rest in between?
I just hope she'll be touring in September/October |
I assume it will be a long spring leg with a break for a-nation then running up to her birthday or slightly beyond that afterward.
And immediately after that, plans for 20th anniversary CDL. |
I really think this tour will be very long going all the way to replace CDL... I don't know. Would be nice for her to have some breaks during the tour.

I just don't think it's fair to think she didn't grow up. I have to agree that a lot of songs from her early days and incredible lyrics wise, but I don't think she's any less good today :) |
I think Ayu has always been inconsistent vocally. But I always have found that interesting because I haven't really seen any other artist that can go from one extreme to the other.
Some performances are so powerful and moving and then another performance will be embarrassing and cringey with shouting or sometimes strange techniques/pronunciation.:shrug |
