All right, here we go.
First off... I finally understood why Ayu was given all her songs on the broadcast while the rest were cut to 2. IMO, Ayu = climax of a-nation, like seriously.
Rule:
The opening was made of win... ninjas scurrying around and the traditional Japanese music in the back... just wow. And it opened with a bang. Pretty epic performance, and Ayu's ad-libbing at the end was so awesome too! Maro & Shu-ya looked really hot.
A Song For xx:
Amazingly, for a performance that was exactly the same as her previous lives such as AT 08 and a-nation '08, I really enjoyed this. Her vocals were amazing and I really really really liked the way she's singing this song now.
BLUE BIRD:
I am so jealous of her stomach/waist in that blue dress.
I think it's an okay performance... but it's really nostalgic. It's BLUE BIRD!
Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~:
Ha, again, I think this is an okay performance... she sounded a little weird and I LOL-ed at her facial expressions after the first chorus. XD
TO BE:
This takes the cake for the best performance... I love her voice here omg! And when Shu-ya came in, my heart stopped for a second cos his arms so smexy and his tanned bod...
But I really like this performance... it feels like a long time since Ayu has sung this well imo.
Boys & Girls:
Omfg, when the cart first came out, I thought, "Wedding Cake!!!"... it's so huge and really epic! And it turned out to be a ship of some sort lol.
The energy level was high and once again, I liked the new style she's singing B&G. Less shouting; more singing. I like.
Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~:
I screamed when she flashed the Tohoshinki towel! And then, at that moment, seeing all the Ayu and Tohoshinki towels swung around... there's something really moving about that.
The energy level got higher and it's like... wow really, and when she got off the ship and started running about... omg!!!
And I think it's from Sunrise that my body started to shiver... and I feel like crying.
July 1st:
This was all right too; I just really missed this song as well. XD
P.S: Ayu & Shu-ya did the same movements.
I think this is really her best a-nation performance yet... really good and she outdid herself imo. TO BE was especially well sung!
I also realized that I really missed Ayu lol. It's been ages since I've listened to her songs, or watched her live, or felt her tugging at my heartstrings. Way to go~
