I've posted streaming links in the Asian Music Section.

Hm, no, not really, they only explain why she covered the song, not why she's performing it there.

Why she covered the song?

^ they debuted at similar times, and Ayu remembers hearing that song a lot. So whenever she hears it now, it brings her back to that time.

She's performing after the CMs now

lmao my streaming signal was so good until Ayu's performance, I only could watch half of the performance then the streaming went down, I wanna cry :(

It was so choppy X_X

It was ok, I guess.
Near the end she started to do "yeahs" and shouting out like in a concert like I feared she would do, but could restrain herself again luckily.
Coming after a CM break was good, so it wasn't so out of place.
Right after her were Kobukuro with one of their big hit ballads. And more ballads medleys/collabs now.
EXILE with Head or Tails was totally out of place in between all those ballads and winter songs in the first part of the show and they were live, lol.
They called her the Heisei songstress though, that was great!

It was better than I expected ! I really enjoy it !
her voice and her energy was good !

She did well!!

I'm still disappointed that she only got one song and that was even a cover.
Sekai no Owari weren't live as well, pre-recorded, and got two songs of their own to perform, the 2nd, a winter song, not long after her while the first one, a dance song, in the first part of the show (also felt quite out of place there btw.).
Why not Ayu as well, hmpf.

Good? I think she nailed it.

It was perfect for me considering the song it is.

She got thinner again, and finally! Not a boring ass winter ballad.

Finally got to see it in good quality, and yes she did GREAT! Of course I would loved another song tbh but whatever, she did great and looked beautiful, also she had a lot of energy, I loved it :yes

It was nice :D

She was good, but I really don't like TV performances anymore. They're so freaking boring. I guess it's the format.

They sang it? I haven't watched the show yet. I thought they were supposed to sing "Lovers Again". I love "Heads or Tails".

Yes, Lovers Again was part of the big winter medley and they also performed in some live collabs. I love Heads or Tails, too, it just didn't fit where they put it.
Most of the other fast songs were either done with the live band/orchestra or with other fast songs grouped together, so that it flowed better.

I see, thank you :-)
I think Ayu did good, no shouting, it's so rare these days. It turned out the way I wanted it to be.

Thank you for the link!

She sounded great! Looked great and her energy was awesome! It comes so natural for her.

And people who keep saying that she's going through some mid life crisis picking out young male dancers being so old herself - i don't get them. The woman doesn't look any older than the dancer on her left! She's in great shape and takes pretty darn good care of herself to be up with the younger generation on stage with her together.

I think this is a good perfomance of Movin' in without you, her voice was pretty good and it look like she bad so much fun and enrrgy for this performance.
