Ayu has been confirmed to be one of the artists appearing on the NTV Music Awards this year! The song she is performing hasn't yet been announced, although the concept for this year's show seems to be what was popular on Apple Music. The show itself will be airing December 28, 19:00 until 23:30 (JST).

UPDATE 29.12.22: Ayu performed BLUE BIRD (her most streamed song for Apple Music Japan), and Nonfiction.

The last time Ayu performed on an NTV show was NTV Best Artist in December 2010, performing Love song.
The full list of guest artists can be found here.

Looking at her Apple Music ranking, M is #1 and #7 (A Best and A Complete) so I suppose there’s a high possibility for M?

I wish it to be Nonfiction

I think this is her first non-Fuji TV performance in many years. I think her last performance on NTV was 2010??

edit: lol, would've helped to read the original post first. But yay, I was right!

Yes! I guess her last non-Fuji TV performance was FLOWER at Music Station, in 2016. During 2018, she did MUSIC FAIR, but it was another Fuji TV program lol

Love Song performance at NTV Best Artist 2010 is one of my all time favorite performances of ayu on a tv show!

Yay for the new live!

Hopes for an amazing performance =) and i'm proud to see her touring, doing tv performances and even a cdl

i’m hoping she performs something from the album. i know that nostalgia works and performing an old song would be the best way to get people’s attention, but she also needs to remind the public she has an album coming out!

The show is tomorrow / today. Any news about the song she will perform?

Thank you for the link ! Quality is good indeed !

It's just here the video is kinda out of sync?

EDIT: never mind, it was my sound system lo

EDIT 2: the show is focusing on nostalgia and big hits of the past decades, so I guess Ayu will sing an old song only. Maybe M or appears again. Maybe SEASONS.

NONFICTION !!! Yes it was good !!

She sang BLUE BIRD (the most played song of her on Apple Music) and Nonfiction!

she was STUNNING i'm almost in tears here :cry she was like fabulous Queen of JPOP. her voice was so good even tho she was balancing on singing and baby voice sometimes but she did great! I think it was live? at least she was in front of audince and i think she started one part of Nonfiction 0,5 second too early after her laughing part :D

i think she almost started to laugh while singing when she was going from the center to left part of the stage from our point of view. she was facing some girl dancer and i think her voice went as she was holding her laugh

She did really well! Definitely live (I think). Her vocal is so good. I think she train her vocal again, she posted her vocal coach on her status a few days ago.

The yellow 生放送 (live) in the right hand corner disappeared then reappeared after her performance, so I’m pretty sure it was prerecorded.

Still, she did very well!

She wasn't live, they removed the 生放送 sign for her performance and didn't show the audience. So pre-recorded, probably some hours before.

Happy for her that she got so much time for her slot.
And she did look happy, vocals were ok.
Though I have to say, haven't seen a performance from her for a while, she looked very uncomfortable laughing here.

She did look very nervous or uncomfortable!
I think she's been tired and maybe a bit unwell lately with all the rehearsals...

Considering it's her first ntv performance since 2010, she did well and yeah, must be very tired with all CDL rehearsal
