If there's anything that ever comes off sounding wrong, we can start with Ayu's vocals. But that's a completely separate story (which I won't get into here).

Having a live band presents a great opportunity to have new arrangements or putting a new spin on a classic and I much, *much* prefer to have a band than having everything pre-recorded. Where's the talent showcase there?

There are concerts that sound *exactly* like studio albums. I don't think that's what people go to concerts for.
You can record a different arrangement and playback it.
My problem with the band was that it didn't sound live.
