I'm not sure, it was the last news clip released; pretty long. It had a veeery short 5 second clip of (d)Lma when the wheel starts spinning. I went OMG, and she sung it REALLY good. She had so much power and roughness in her voice when she yelled SHITTE YO. <3

Oh... sounds interessting. Hope, I will see the full performance someday. I really like that song.

-Whenever she gets emotional during a song.
-The end of a concert, when she just puts down her mike and shouts "arigatou gozaimashita".

Truly breathtaking.

When I went onto the forum to see if Guilty reached #1 or not. Quite a tense moment.

Though there are a lot of chills I get watching her concerts. Depends on the setting.

I believe Pride of AT07 did that...and the sad Heaven performance too.

Oh, I forgot to add when she sings untitled ~for her~ at CDL07-08 and before the chorus she shouts out..thats so emotional. ^^ Also when she sings "soshite" further down the chorus and starts crying.

Performance of Memorial Address at the 2004 concert (following the Teddy Bear performance)...I felt like crying when I saw Ayu break down in front of the audience...so sad. It was actually one of the first times I saw Ayu perform on stage, and it fully converted me into a fan. There was so much emotion in her voice, so much that I like this version more than the one in the album.
Edit:
Another instance was when Ayu sang Boys and Girls in 2005 when she asked everyone to sing along with her. WOW. The waterworks/fountain was amazing, and her enthusiasm and spirit got me singing along and feeling like I was watching the show right there with her.

Me too:yes I had exactly the same feelings while watching Memorial Address

Stadium Tour 2002-when ayu slapped hands with fans. There was this guy that was diving through everyone to get to the railing.
A Museum-Fly high. Felt like waving to the screen
CDL04-05-Duty. The split second where she gives the camera a mysterious expression
AT05-Moments when the special screen showed multiple reflections
CDL05-06-When the crystal cross moved up. So much higher than Dome Tour's disco ball
AT06-When Born to be exploded on the stage
Kouhaku-Strawberry cream cake dress for Jewel
CDL07-08-Aerial performance by Kaeru

Sure Ayu is a favorite singer of mine, but I've never really had any heart-skipping moments. She's only given me goosebumps once or twice. :shrug

^

Do you really? I never get goosebumps by anything. I don't see how others can get that. I only get it when I'm cold?

^When something touches you so, you can get goosebumps. I've gotten them a few times when I saw some really amazing symphonic concerts. Or once when we were playing this really amazing piece, and we played it so perfectly, we all like stopped at the end and just didn't move for a few seconds. Music is amazingly powerful for the senses.

When it came out, in AT05, when she appears at the start for Happy Ending...the first time I saw this, it was the first full concert for me, and when she appeared...I just about went nuts with the crowd, screaming and jumping, and it was awesome.

After that...I never really had one.

So agree!
That untitled ~for her~ performance was one of the best performances ever!!!
I actually put it in my cell phone 2 months ago and I never put live versions in it!

It's full chills.

When she won the Record Taishou Grand Prize for the third year in a row with No way to say; her award-acceptance performance. Heart-stopping.

Yeah, haha, what emiko said.

I get goosebumps by some things very easily. (Music and performances from Disney give me goosebumps all the time, it never fails. lol) Ayumi has never really given me goosebumps as much, but she has once or twice.

I'd definitely have to watch some performances again and try to remember if I've had any heart-stopping moments. I mean, I've definitely had WOW! moments (and have actually shouted out, "WOW!" lol), but have only had those absolutely-zomg-heart-stopping-dude-ayu's-the-best-ever (lol) moments only a couple of times.

When I finally got to see the "Light and shadow" 2004 interview after 1.5 to 2 hours of fighting with my computer. It was SO worth it. ^_^

- Any instance in her live performances where she tears up or gets caught up in the moment. i.e. "Walking Proud" from AT05, "Heaven" from AT06, The crowd singing "Poker Face" to her from AT07,...

- Any trip down the catwalk. "Ladies Night" from AT06 being my fave.

- When she's absolutely singing her heart out towards the end of "M". This actually gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it.

- When the guitar comes in on "A Song For XX (030213 Session #2)" & Memorial Address (Take 2 Version). I'm geussing the first take on either of these songs didn't go so well.:shakehead

and many many more...

yeah!! When she speaks English!!! And when shouts Thank you very much without microphone!!

Haha this is really embarrasing, but the commercial for "A" always shocks me by how it affects me.. It was the first video I saw of Ayu and she was so beautiful it made me cry. It still gives me goosebumps!

The opening of Dome Tour 2001 - when she first appears in the globe and the place. goes. NUTS.

True, one of her best moments on tour

I have so many but in terms of her recent moments, I would say definately the entire AT 2007. I personally think that concert contained some of her very best performances ever. Very strong vocals -the intensity of everything building up was top notch.
The choreography, the emotion, the interaction -she really brought it on for the Asia tour. Perfect really. She's a natural.

- First time I heard her singing live.
I attented AT08 @ Nagoya 6/17 so it was there. A huge wave of chills went through me. It was amazing.

Hmm.. Can't remember any others right now.
