[love in music]

basically what ownsarai and pommy said. ayu is definitely one of the best performers in my opinion because of the emotion she puts into her performances. not just sad emotions but when she's happy she looks genuinely happy and not just like she's putting on a show and faking it for the crowd. i get that vibe from other performers such as koda kumi or namie amuro, their happiness/sadness seems forced. the things they have that make their concerts good are their voices and that they have a better range than ayu, and sometimes have complicated dances. i get no real emotion from their performances and feel less connected to them. so what makes a good concert for me is that the person honestly looks like they're enjoying themselves and doing their best and just being REAL - special effects and good outfits are just a plus.
