Oo, the vocals are pretty much standard Ayu for now, as in it could have been MUCH worse. Also it's a TV live, a medium that she's never really excelled at other than a small point in her career when she also had a talk show.

The issue I think is that some of the parts of the song used to require her to go into that nasal SQUEAKY register but now she goes in the opposite direction of them since her vocals are completely different from how the original was sung, and also she used to cut things off quite a bit more in performances of this song while this one felt a lot more whole. IMO, a good effort but nothing spectacular.

As far as this performance goes, was she just replicating the CdM ASFXX?
