A Look Back: FAVOURITE AYU PERFORMANCE

It's 2012 and Ayu is still one of the brightest stars. It has been a long time since she started and I think now is a good time to look back.

What was your favourite performance by Ayu?
A performance that still moves you deeply?
Your first time seeing Ayu?

Post your personal Ayu video here, share your moment.

Mine is this performance.
I think that her emotions in this moment were so honest, I just can't help myself not to get teary.

is this LOVE? from Arena Tour 2006 is special for me because it's the performance that introduced me to Ayu. Became a fan soon after.

A Song for xx from a-nation 2008 was beyond amazing!

Wow, I can't narrow it down to just one:

Dearest ~ Xmas Special Version ~


Haru yo koi - Music Fair 2003


A Song for XX - Music Fair 2003


Also:
is this LOVE? from a-nation '05; I Am...from AT02; Memorial Address from AT03, 90% of RnRC, and About you, Pride, and You were... from CDL 09-10

monochrome and immature from Concert Tour 2000 vol 1, About You from AT05, and alterna from AT06 I love for their visuals, even though her vocals aren't up to par.

Can't find it uploaded, but Memorial Address from Arena Tour 03-04. I don't think it will ever be beaten for me.

This was the live that made me start liking Dearest after hating it for years.


Probably my favorite live, A Song for XX from Dome Tour 2001.

HANABI at a-nation 04 and 05 will always be my favorite Ayu performances

And A Song for xx at a-nation 08 was awesome as well, especially with the rain :p

Oh man!

I honestly have to say that I think I loved all of her Dearest performances, from the era when that was her single. She was always vocally on point, and has not had vocals anywhere near as CD-perfect and strong as that since. The two posted were absolutely fantastic, but I've also always loved this one:

I would also add to the list M (unplugged) from Stadium Tour (I think?). Teddy Bear from AT04 (I think that was the year) was also heart-wrenchingly great.

No videos online of this that I could find, but UNITE! from Stadium Tour 2002 was the first thing I ever saw her perform that really impressed me with her vocals and charisma on stage and just made me really admire her as a great performer. Some more favorites of mine are Memorial Address from AT03-04 and kiss o' kill from Tour of Secret. Memorial Address for it's raw emotion and kiss o' kill for being one of Ayu's best vocal performances and just for being so theatrically awesome.

A special mention goes to the Because of You performance, the one with the green dress. I believe it was CDL05-06?
