I've been feeling poorly the past couple days and spent a lot of time re-watching old Ayu performances...

AT2009 is really, really good. Like, I distinctly remember going to see it and being like "hmmmmmmmmmmmmm I don't know if I liked it" but six years later I don't remember why I thought that? lol. The opening with Rule was killer, and the rollin'/Sparkle part is HILARIOUS omfg. I also completely forgot that she sang HOPE or PAIN? I liked that songs like HoP, In the Corner, Hana, etc. were definitely not obvious choices for additions to the tracklist but they worked so well in the context. And it kind of keeps the audience guessing. The tour also reminded me of how well BLUE BIRD would have worked as a track on NEXT LEVEL, lol

a-nation 2005 WAS PERFECT. is this LOVE? was amazing. HANABI was god-tier status. Her body, hair, everything was on point. augh I fall in love all over again every time I watch those performances

Also....SHU-YA'S BLACK 'FRO AT A-NATION 2006 IS THE MOST TRAGIC THING I'VE EVER SEEN
