I know people are saying that ayu isn't really that popular any more but she got one of the biggest screams (if not the biggest) when she was announced at the beginning lol

somebody uploaded to YT, but avex blocked it

That was just bad.

That's all I have to say. Ayu, you're NOT a washed-up has been so don't perform like it.

i've just finished watching the HD file..
for me, Love song live performance is better in Best Artist, not because Ayu forgot a little part of her lyric, but i donno she didn't sound the best in MSSL..at the beginning, she sounded rushed a bit..
BUT, for "M" she really did great job! i don't think she was off key and she hit the high note pretty smooth :) not like the usual high pitch but she did okay! maybe they did lower the key a bit, but i donno, i can't really tell a difference..

MS's Love Song was quite horrendous, and to make it worse she had the lyrics mixed up :( and Best Artist's performance was definitely better.

And M was much better than LS. Not to mention, I would do without the black mess on her right shoulder...made her looked like a warrior o.o

anyway, does anybody think that in MSSL, ayu's vocal sound is bigger than the music?
but i'm happy that ayu's "yea ayyyyy!!!!" was flawless!

Normally in these situations it's a chance for Artist's voice to shine, but for Ayu's case it just amplified the various flaws in Ayu's vocal ability :| Counterproductive I would say.

I just watched Love song so far. waiting for my download to end..
Love song was so great!! She really did control her vocals and the chorus range suits her really well. Only the high notes were a slight miss but doesnt matter..esp to shoot from a lower melody all the way there..

Amazing performance.

Her stage presence, and her charm is just... seriously... only she can do this, you get what I mean? I don't care if she's a "has-been" or if people are sick of her.. the fact is that when she's on the stage she shines 100000000x more than anyone else, and those bands can only stand there watching wishing they could achieve 1/4 of her stage presence.

M was just.. wow. I thought she would butcher it but reli, I think it was good..! :thumbsup

I watched the full show and honestly absolutely nobody there had impressive voices and so many people sounded worse than ayu, I was shocked. So much for voices shining.

coz the music sound is softer than the vocal sound, it seems like ayu was singing without music haha XDD ayu's vocal is so bold & a little louder for Love song, they should have actually balanced it..

M literally made me cry. Maybe I'm just particularly overemotional today, but...yeah. idk, it really touched me.

(i was gonna type M as Maria HAHA)
M was really good imo!! I love the ending part..that scene was gorgeous. and yea, i agree with waterballoon, the way she just stands there....very charismatic rreally...(I love that hairstyle on her)

Ehhk I only watched Ayu's performance ;)

Wanted to find a link to Ikimono Gakari's perf but didn't manage to :( Their performance was steady and awesome @ Best Artist.

She looked bored and tired. I feel bad for her, she probably hasn't rested properly in a long while. She had no energy, especially when she was stomping around during Love song. I went from WTF to sympathetic lol...

^blaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh...

I really liked both performances of Love song. M was great, too.

^mlaaaaaaaaaaaaahh

^ yay! she never loses her winter spirit!! :heart

so adorable...

I thought she would butcher M too but... Oh god I was wrong!
I'm quite impressed by her performance. It's pretty good! Her voice wasn't low and husky. Keep on the good work!

You keep that up and I will NOT be under your tree wearing nothing but a bow...hmph.

I think she performed splendidly.
