I saw Shu-ya but my screen was so blotchy and the stream lagged so much that I got more vocals that images so I didn't really get chance to notice anyone else.

When I was watching on Justin.TV, I saw a lot of Kazuma, 2-YAN and KO, lol.

I really don't think the performance was that bad. It wasn't really focused, but it wasn't horrible.

It's great to see her performing close to the Live TV audience =) that's all it matters, getting closer to the people. The audience can enjoy, connect, interact and feel her energy. I enjoyed the performance =)

finally i got to watch the performance.. so she sang FTL and evolution almost full version, SURREAL is a very short version. i enjoyed the performance :)
i love the outfit, even though the coat is recycled one and i agree that it makes her look chubbier.. or is she chubbier herself? coz the outfit for the artist introduction, she looks pretty chubby too haha.

I love this performance very much. In my opinion, FTL is better than 2 others. She sounds better than many artists/groups (E girl, mon...z sound terrible)

I think it made her look chubbier. The hair being pulled back probably added to that too. We just saw her not too long ago and she didn't look that chubby... right???

just watch the HD version, I dont really like FTL live,You & Me is so much more fun and so hyped the audience was so-so during FTL

and Ayu DID gain weight and look chubby not just because the outfit alone, her face looked rounder and her arms are fuller also in the MGR PV at the rooftoop scene she already looked fuller . this is my remark and not in negative way

She wore the outfit during CDL but didnt look chubby like that,so yeah,plus shes having a new lover shes happy now,that explained well for me

During the talk (since I don't understand Japanese) so I keep ranting "Where's the ring? Where's the ring?"
During Feel the love: Maybe it is the first time live on tv so the fans not so hype. Her voice sound a lil bit weird. Don't know...maybe it just me
During Evolution: Ok. This is a longer version. But then...EH? Yo chan???? XD
Then SURREAL. It just a short version and she always sing the song in her concert. So just enjoy the performance.

Oh dear, I just watched this abomination, I hoped the live version of feel the love will make me like it at least a little bit but it was terrible, Evolution was good, Yo-chan looks like a girl :D Ayu looks really good, but Feel the love as a song is gross :|

Was she without ring? :yconfused

The image quality isn´t good so I can´t see it with clarity...

I can realize that she wasn't confident to perform in MS. She had been back to Japan for some days before MS, she wasn't well-prepared enough. Ayu was also uncomfortable (cause of the audiences wasn't almost her fans, she worried about the mistakes ?) Otherwise, she had a good performance, i love FLT although it wasn't great. Evolution and surreal is quite bad to me.
After the performance, I heard that someone called "Ayu" and in the MS yesterday, she sounds better (7/10) than many others.
I love this performance and wait for FLT in CDL.
Moreover, I think she should sing the ballad to be supposed more !

Yup i agree, would love to hear her singing one of her ballads and think it would have been tons times better.

Like the debut or golden era days, she used the ballad (You, For my dear, Part Of me, Jewel,...) and had the great supposes from Japanese but nowadays,her songs are western and PV are made in USA. I believe she could use the ballad to be successful again

God if she went with "Ivy" it would be a smash there and huge level of musical experience increase compared to previous acts.

lol @ random men chasing after ayu's balloons on center stage @ min. 6:06

as for ballads I do agree. Even when she sang one last time it was SEASONS, because of its popularity, but what she needs is to perform one of her newer ballads which could become a hit. She has so many beautiful ones...SAKURA or gloria would have def became hits with a bit more promo.

I'm craving for performances of ballads, Sakura... Ivy, Gloria so much stuff that would appeal to people.

she got back from US since 2 weeks ago rite? i guess if she's happy with the fiancee around, like what AyuWorld said, she might go out to eat a lot wahaha XD guess that we'll have to wait n see when she performs at Kouhaku and CDL hehe

on the other note, forgot to mention about Yochan! wow he's with shorter hair and he looks way younger than he used to be, that's goood!

To me, Ayu looks so much more human and healthier when she is slightly chubbier. It makes me feel like she content and not so stressed that has to run around off her feet.

You're definitely right.She could make a huge show with SAKURA...but she is the one who takes the decisions so we just have to accept it :thud

I really like the short hair too! It's kind of a pity to cut off all them hair after so long :)
