[SunshineSlayer]

Just watched the performance and here is my review.

Pros- Ayu looked very pretty.
- I am liking Days as a song more and more
- Overall I'd say the performance was successful

Cons- She is still doing that annoying habit of cutting notes short. It's not as apparent in Days because the song was recorded that way, but noticeable in Seasons. I'm not sure why she has kept doing this for the past few years because all it does is make her appear out of breath and like she is incapable of holding notes anymore....I really hope thats not the case. I don't think it is the case, I just think its a bad singing habit she has unfortunately picked up and has been using since Jewel. So if her intention with singing accapella was to show people that she still has a good voice, I would say she only half succeeded on that count.

Also, anyone else find it ironic that for several years when she and Tomoya were together she always kept the tattoo hidden but now that they are broken up she shows it freely?

Overall though, this FNS show was weak the last few years were much better than this I felt. There were several sound problems and many of the artists seemed to be having an off vocal day - Ayu ended up giving one of the better performances.
