From the video, I can barely hear something (which doesn't seem great). : /

I wonder where their audio came from for the news clips that came out...
Mmm, July 1st.
Oh yeah, I just found an audio rip of Rule from the 8/23 concert.

There's a music player if you scroll down a bit and you have to use the drop down menu to listen to the "Hamasaki Ayumi.mp3" track. It sounds a little weird/too loud, but I think that's bound to happen since it's a fanrecording from the speakers at the concert.

I just wanted to say that you can't judge with edited lives.

Well, for most overseas fans, all that we can really judge are edited lives. (I would say a-nation '09 isn't as heavily edited as say a concert tour anyway) She's never been too amazing when it comes to TV lives post-2004ish, so I tend not to count those because for whatever reason, she always sounds like she doesn't rehearse.
The only other option would be to see her live, but some people say that the experience is different and vocals tend not to sound as "bad" when they're seen live...? I'm trying to see if anyone from AHS saw a-nation '09 live and said anything about her vocals, but I don't think anyone posted any reviews.
If seeing her live or watching DVDs of her lives isn't good enough to judge whether her vocals are good enough, then just how are fans supposed to rate her voice? Just TV performances? Knowing Ayu's history with them, I'm not so sure that they're the best material to work off of. It's basically like forcing people into thinking that she's got terrible vocals! Or at least forcing them into thinking good vocals = edited and bad vocals = she sucks and doesn't practice. Even if she does well, a group of people always manage to shoot her down because ~the performance was edited~. Is she not allowed to sing well nowadays or something?
