The rawness of HANABI was PERFECT.

Thanks for the links!
Refreshing to hear a normal voice of a grown-up woman in Hanabi, she even managed not to sound too cute in Fairyland.

I cant believe how great this live was, some vocals are even better than the original studio recordings. and I am so glad she didnt try to sing it in that disgusting cute way (even though the second fairyland chorus almost went there). :D amazing, amazing, amazing.

I am kinda shocked of how good she sounded.

Wow, her condition... she sang really well...!

The vocals were really great, though obviously edited / controlled in post. I’m not mad about it cause it’s a strategic decision to showcase her sounding good.

Our queen served us tonight. God I love her.

This was amazing

Wow she really discard her baby voice! Amazing ayu!!

I can't stop smiling.

Ayu has grown so incredibly these past few years. She seemed lost for awhile. Now her soul and her joy are back in her voice. :love

she did sound awesome on both performances, fairyland still one of her best summer songs imo, thanks for sharing!!

She nailed it. *-*

Really good, really short

she sounded good, she looked good, and she performed 2 of my fave summer songs by her… this is probably the best performance of this era!! ayu got that 25th anniversary glow fr! :)

did u watch the entire performance? it was almost 10 min

She sounded and looked great! Justice for Fairyland! Nice to see it get a performance again.

I miss the hot male dancer that took part in Fairyland performances back then.

It was so good! So glad she didn't use any baby voice in Hanabi :D

This live was amazing. I got goosebumps since the first notes she sang in HANABI.

it was so gooood! I loved that they uploaded the videos on YouTube

fairyland


HANABI

I really wanted to see the 4K version of this performance.

WOW! She sounds fabulous on fairyland in particular, I'm blown away by how much more control she has. Her voice is also rounder and less strained.

I expected it to be very clear and sharp, when you'll be able too see even ayu's pores, but it's just blurred. So don't expect too much from it

Maybe it wasn't filmed in 4K. Every performance on Kouhaku broadcasted from NHK 101 Studio isn't in 4K and it's very noticeable the uspcaling. Maybe that was the case.
