Katsuyuki012 2nd July 2019 02:45 PM

Great news :) I'm curious what show it'll be!

maxikot 2nd July 2019 03:13 PM

Yesss! This is such a piece of awesome news! Looking forward to it. Summer would not be summer without Ayu on tv :]

Minttulatte 2nd July 2019 05:20 PM

Damn, that's such a fantastic chance to see Ayu in person. I wonder what that show is for, too. Secrecy really spikes up my curiousity, lol. :D

Aderianu 2nd July 2019 08:32 PM

"Filming" means it's not music station, right?

attractive nausea 2nd July 2019 11:51 PM

I'm really looking forward to know more about this!

EndOfTheWorld 3rd July 2019 03:55 AM

They make it seem like it will be a unique event. Like it's just just the usual talk show.:think

KarenPang 3rd July 2019 05:01 AM

It could be any of these shows as they're all pre taped

- Buzz Rhythm 02
- CDTV
- Love music
- NHK The Covers
- NHK SONGS
- MUSIC FAIR
- Premium Melodix!
- Shibuya no Oto

I thought it could be Ongaku no Hi 2019 but it will take place on 13th July , not 16th

And except if Ayu is not performing at FNS Uta no Natsu Matsuri on 24th July , that could be it too :confused

Bigtop 3rd July 2019 06:13 AM

^ We still have more artists yet to be announced for FNS Uta no Natsu Matsuri. Surely we cannot rule out Ayu for that...

njanjayrp 3rd July 2019 01:23 PM

I am just hoping she goes with less traditional songs...

I guess it's unlikely. She just put BLUE BIRD at TROUBLE Tour encore, maybe it's just the traditional evolution + BLUE BIRD combo. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm guessing this definitely. She is probably doing a pre-recorded performance for it. I'm guessing Blue Bird as well since it was added to her setlist.

AJFmzk 4th July 2019 04:01 AM

「*The recording is expected to begin at the time stated above. It is possible that the event will continue until late at night, so please be aware of that when sending your application. 」

I wonder if this is one of those shows where she'll keep doing it over and over until she's happy with the take

I don't see why not. The whole point of it being pre-recorded is to have as many takes as you can until you're happy!

AJFmzk 4th July 2019 11:39 AM

^yep. Nothing wrong with doing that. The way the email was worded just made it sound like that’s her plan, which would be interesting to see her do in person.

Fans also will be happy. They may see her for like 30 minutes instead of just 5

AJFmzk 4th July 2019 07:31 PM

^an excellent point. I’m sure the lucky fans will enjoy seeing her for however long filming lasts. I’m excited to see the broadcast...wonder what she’ll sing

mizuki-7 4th July 2019 08:44 PM

Maybe NHK SONGS ?

EndOfTheWorld 5th July 2019 03:53 AM

It would be great if she went on NHK SONGS especially the artist file section.

Looks like I was right on Ayu and the potential on appearing on this year's FNS Uta no Natsu Matsuri!

visionfactory 9th July 2019 03:23 PM

So lucky fans

Chris85 10th July 2019 04:14 AM

So happy it's pre-recorded, hoping for decent vocals. Don't need live disasters like Music Station.

No mention of Ayu's performance on FNS Uta no Natsu Matsuri being pre-recorded

Fuji TV only mention Ayu will be doing a special Summer medley & 1 of the songs in the medley is BLUE BIRD

https://pbs.twimg.com/ad_img/1148273...=png&name=orig

https://twitter.com/fns_kayousai/sta...51302021390344

The tweet contents confirms that this year's a-nation will not have any Tokyo dates :s

Even a-nation's Twitter description has said so

Quote:

attractive nausea 10th July 2019 02:22 PM

^ The date of recording of Ayu's performance is on July 16th, if this recording is indeed for FNS that airs on the 24th then yes, it is pre-recorded.

Aderianu 10th July 2019 04:00 PM

Wonder why ayu don't want to sing live, she will be free from touring from 19 to 30 July. Maybe she's going on little vacation somewhere

IIRC last year ayu's FNS performance was pre-recorded as well and she has never performed on live-boardcasted music shows since the last time she appeared on Music Station in 2017. I think it's quite possible that she knows how worst her vocal is now and thus decided not to perform live on TV anymore or otherwise she will be treading on twitter regarding her terrible singing again.

mizuki-7 10th July 2019 05:20 PM

Isn't last year the whole show was pre recorded ?

Nope

https://natalie.mu/music/news/291345

Some parts of FNS were recorded in advance but not the whole show

FNS Uta no Natsu Matsuri is considered relatively short with it being about 4 1/2 hours as compared to the recent THE MUSIC DAY 2019 ~Jidai~ at almost 10 hours long + this coming weekend's Ongaku no Hi 2019 that'll be almost 24 hours :dead2

oaristos 10th July 2019 10:30 PM

I won't be surprised if she doesn't include any "recent" songs in that medley but I'm excited to watch the performance. It's always good to see her on TV.

EndOfTheWorld 11th July 2019 04:09 AM

I'm looking forward to it but I am wondering what it is going to be like.:confused

tokyoxjapanxfan 11th July 2019 04:44 AM

Yeah I also think this is for potential damage control.
Don’t worry though, people will find something to talk about lol

Yoake 11th July 2019 10:12 AM

I think that she want to be sure to have a correct vocal because of her ears. She might not be confident anymore even if she can sing well in spite of her deafness.
We know how aggressive haters can be. Ayu is human and all that violence could be one of the reasons she does barely TV show nowadays. It should be very exhausting when each act you did is denigrated.

It's not only about the haters. Fans don't enjoy bad vocals either.

At least that's for free. People paid to see her second day of POA3

Sky High 11th July 2019 10:18 PM

Well July 16th will be soon. Happy to see her again, this year for her was like 2017.

EndOfTheWorld 12th July 2019 03:06 AM

At this point I am just happy she is going on TV at all. But I do hope she has a good vocal day and things aren't too edited.:yes

Yes :P ayu can still sing very well. Even though her voice gets a bit hoarse sometimes. She can sing.

Yup. Agreed. Depending on the song, she will handle it better or worse. I think she has sever technique issues which she is totally ignoring.

PoA^3 day to was an exception rather than the rule. She was obviously sick at the time as even when she is yelling she is still hitting some notes xD

I think that if she carefully chooses the songs and concentrates on singing rather than the performance she could still do live TV performances.

I do think she is more confident singing at her own concerts cuz we know what to expect and know what we have signed up for (better or worse).

Aderianu 24th July 2019 08:47 AM

Little comment from ayu https://twitter.com/fns_kayousai/sta...718787585?s=19
Show will start from 19:00, ayu will appear after 22 https://www.fujitv.co.jp/FNS/s/time.html

Chris85 24th July 2019 10:36 AM

So it's FNS after all.

attractive nausea 24th July 2019 02:54 PM

^ She hasn't performed yet!

Linza-mo 24th July 2019 02:55 PM

Soon ! now it's kaela kimura, then mai kuraki, Hey! Say! JUMP and finally Ayu ! (so... 10 min ?)

Party_King 24th July 2019 02:57 PM

great! So i can watch this stream and her performance! :luv2
Thanks for posting it Linza-mo!

Evan Odinson 24th July 2019 03:02 PM

Saw a little preview, the dancers are wearing the orange outfit from Power of A^3 (the one that looked like trash collector suits lol) now Hey! Say! JUMP is performing so Ayu is next!

attractive nausea 24th July 2019 03:03 PM

She will sing very soon, finally! I hope her performance is long...

summerain 24th July 2019 03:05 PM

Now! She started the medley with You & Me and she sang glitter after that. Then Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~, with outfit change. The last song was BLUE BIRD.

Party_King 24th July 2019 03:10 PM

So, the medley is: You & Me - glitter - Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ - BLUE BIRD
her voice was really good... a bit hoarse maybe, but she hits most of the notes... :)

summerain 24th July 2019 03:11 PM

She used her TROUBLE Tour encore Betty Boop x Ayu outfit for the last two songs.

Evan Odinson 24th July 2019 03:12 PM

She sounded really good, it was a fun performance :yes

metropass 24th July 2019 03:21 PM

She was still hard to hit the high notes and the vocal sounds hoarse, even it's already edited. Hope she would stop any performances between August and December to heal her throat.

Linza-mo 24th July 2019 03:24 PM

I'm pretty impressed by the performance ! It was energic, fun, and she was good!
All what I want from her and from thi sking of summer show!

All of them. With a help of editing. I didn't expect FNS to edit vocals. I thought they'd use best takes, but leave the vocals raw. Well, I'm not complaining, it was for the best.
I'm glad she shouted much less than during her actual shows, I was hoping for it. The voice is hoarse indeed though.

Xianghua 25th July 2019 02:17 AM

She was trending last night on Twitter.
My phone refreshed itself before I could check, but from the later comments she had good reception.

EndOfTheWorld 25th July 2019 02:45 AM

The youtube links no longer work.:(
But I was able to find the entire broadcast on bilibili.
I thought it was such a nice performance! Lots of energy and stable vocals. Despite BLUE BIRD being hyped up, I found myself enjoying the other songs more. It feels nice to see her have a successful live appearance.

Cahz- 25th July 2019 03:49 AM

I liked the performance, the You & Me intro surprised me, it was really good. I also loved her kawaii voice on Sunrise.

I'd say, from what I've seen, a big part of it were good comments, but also quite a lot saying she looks like Namie Amuro.

Also someone wondered why the fans there were only women, didn't even notice myself.

And sorry, but this tweet is seriously hilarious!
Spoiler:

On LINE with my 72 year old mother
Mother: Namie Amuro, isn't it too early to come back?
Me: That's Ayu.
Mother: Ayu? Who's that?
Me: Ayumi Hamasaki
Mother: If you say Ayumi Hamaski you mean Kumi Hamasaki?
Me: No, that's Koda Kumi.
Mother: Ah, now I know, the daughter of Keiko Fuji (mother of Hikaru Utada)!
Then I secretly turned off the phone.

hidekirby 25th July 2019 12:43 PM

Nice performance.
Her voice is obviously edited (not a single off-key note) and I never thought I would say this one day, but it's better this way. At least she won't get much hate on internet.
But to be honest, it's truly a sad observation... What's left of Ayumi Hamasaki? A great show entertainer. That's a lot, but she used to be much more...

I also don't know if she had a boob job the last couple of years or if she puts high-knee socks under her bra, but considering her figure it really looks disproportionate in some outfits.

Otherwise, she looked really happy to perform and it was fun to watch.

Is she really great at entertaining though if she can't sing remotely well?
I know a lot of people are having fun at her concerts, she's still an eye candy, but I can't imagine myself paying full price for her show anymore.

Yeah I understand you. That is what I meant by entertaining. It's fun to watch, there is a lot of emotions, she is an amazing show performer. But not a technical one. It's still really entertaining and she can still pull out amazing sceneries (last one for BRILLANTE) ... Vocals aside.

I am more than happy to pay the full price and her concerts are still a lot of fun. It depends on your level of tolerance to the way she sings. Mine's pretty high and I know what to expect. Ayu was never about great vocals and the whole industry is dominated by mediocre singers at best. Also half of kpop acts lip sync their performances and people still pay to see them.

Ayu has always been about great music, fun performances and strong stage presence.

All that “much more” drove her right into losing her hearing. :(

Creating some music, some promotion etc is not hurting her hearing much. Doing concerts with crazy schedule like she does is... But I don't want to start a debate. :D And she manages her career as she wants.

Very good points.
I've always been addicted to live sound: the differencies from studio versions, improvisation, the beauty of someone hitting the right notes... I like a good show as much as anyone, but the vocals and live band are my priority. After attending concerts of very talented vocalists I almost consider what Ayu's doing now to be an expensive fraud. In short, my ears must be pleased.

I‘ve watched the live broadcast in bad quality before I‘ve commented.
Re-watched the performance later in HD and you‘re right... :)

Mother: Namie Amuro, isn't it too early to come back?
Me: That's Ayu.
Mother: Ayu? Who's that?
Me: Ayumi Hamasaki
Mother: If you say Ayumi Hamaski you mean Kumi Hamasaki?
Me: No, that's Koda Kumi.
Mother: Ah, now I know, the daughter of Keiko Fuji (mother of Hikaru Utada)!
Then I secretly turned off the phone.


As hashtag he uses "the appareance of the 4 divas"! :laugh

I've always been addicted to live sound: the differencies from studio versions, improvisation, the beauty of someone hitting the right notes... I like a good show as much as anyone, but the vocals and live band are my priority. After attending concerts of very talented vocalists I almost consider what Ayu's doing now to be an expensive fraud. In short, my ears must be pleased.

I understand. It was a huge difference seeing Hitomi Shimatani sing in a bar with just a couple of instruments accompanying her an hour after seeing Just the beginning. Shimatani is a talented vocalist, very pleasant to the ears, still ayu gets me hyped like nobody else 😅

I know Ayu will never be the artist who would do this type of thing but it's one of my secret dream shaha... Her old accoustic/unplugged live versions were amazing...

Part of Me acoustic from CDL is one of the few things I listen to from time to time out of all recordings I made, because she didn't shout and sounded quite pleasant there.

^So much nicer than the studio version!

And the acoustic version of Virgin Road from that CDL with the awkward short hair wig? I don't even like the song but that was NICE!

I also used to listen a lot to the guitar only version of Love song from Power of music, but ever since I've started listening to music on Spotify I've kind of forgotten about those

(And HEAVEN from CDL 05-06 I think it was! Long black hair and a white beanie hat. The vocals were just perfect)

And to stay on topic: quite surprised by the performance, I realise its edited but great energy and decent voice, it really makes me miss her being on TV!
