Finally got the time to watch ayu latest concert!
An outstanding CDL! I love how energetic WE WISH is and her vocals are really strong here (I definitely like this more than the original 2002 version). This FREE & EASY performance is one of her best ever and she finally sustained the chorus well. Because of you is good as usual but CAROLS..oohh...I love this performance. Only ayu and the piano surrounded by the cold snowflakes, great view. The warmth in her voice is really visible. momentum was a bit better than the original (go ayu!!! love these winter songs) and IS THIS LOVE? was really fierce. Merry go round is fun but that's all and.....Love song!.. Ayu left me speechless with this performance! I could have lived without You & Me, Boys & Girls and Humming 7/4. The sweet Curtain Call, I really felt her emotions through this song but sadly Part of me was kind of weak. This song was either badly edited or ayu's singing was weak. I love the arrangement of Bold & Delicious and that final "Bold and Belicious" sung by ayu is really cute!
Also, Princess & Timmy's song is really beautiful. Those two voices blend together so good.
Overall, a great CDL..definitely one of my favourites along 04-05, 05-06, 11-12. ayu really did a great job (the only complain is those annoying voice effects that her team used, in some cases unnecesary.)
