Right. It can be argued that it's actually when you are there in the arena that you are hearing the not exactly true version of her voice because of echo and reverberation - that makes anything sound better.

Those TV reports always sound relatively bad and that's because it is the actual raw vocal with no filters and the cameras don't actually have the best sound recording capabilities. Most artists don't sound very good in them but in that clip I would agree that Ayu sounds the worst and it's as was mentioned - she is shouting and straining more than singing in that clip.
