lol same for me but I am lazy to skip, I endure it, very hard ...

I actually think that their presence makes the whole live performance even more fun, especially during the more upbeat/happier songs. However, I have to agree that they don't sound or look all that great, but then again like others have said it would probably steal the limelight away from Ayu.

^ lol when they start to sing those "woh-woh" bits i quickly fast forward becuase it's embarrassing if my family hears it haha

i think its cool how ayu has her own group of back up dancers and chorus singers. it seems like one big family and not many artsists do that. i also like the fact that she uses the back up singers instead of just playing over her voice. i love fresh live music.
