but whatever... I still bought their dvds anyway

lol, I don't think Ayu could pull off some of the stuff Kuu does... like picking a fan from the audience and then dancing sexily on their laps.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Ayu...it's different lol Ayu's lives rest on "her" and her personality, and how much you love her, and her presence has to do with her, and how she expresses herself through her music/lyrics/etc.

I personally love and value both. I'm very happy to have many artists that give me what I need. I think at one point in time I wanted an artist who encompassed all of these things...but I don't see it as necessary anymore.

I've found...it's certainly better to have more, than less lol You get lots more stuff when everything is spread out among a ton of people, rather than just one~

I agree with Gubsi anyway, they cant really be compared in terms of live performances.

I think you said it best. They're both really different and they give you what you need! Which is why I don't want Ayu to be like Kuu or vise versa because they essence of who they are and how they perform will be lost. They do seem to take notes from each other's style from time to time though, that's cute!

So i think u can't really compare them if it comes to live tours!

I think that's the best way to look at it.

I would imagine Ayu fans wouldn't be as calm and composed LOL. Or.... maybe that's just me who wouldn't hahahaha.

lol, I doubt Kuu can pull of the zomg props that Ayu has in her tours they're even now! both queens are super duper awesome

One is my Queen of Spirit and the other is my Queen of Sex no prizes for guessing who is who

[milky_way]

I love both ladies, and don't really think you can compare their shows because they make different music. Kumi's is more upbeat, dance music so her shows are going to be more high energy than Ayu's more mellow, but still lavish shows.

[Polyrhythm]

o_o who was saying Ayu should start acting like Kumi? I was saying that Ayu should take notes on how well Kumi's recent shows are being produced as in the designs and stuff (and it seems like she has as the RnRC tour is turning out to be quite the show)....and not how she acts o_o It would be quite weird if Ayu started acting like Kumi.

[Zeke.]

Yes, Ayu's lives are more about HAMASAKI AYUMI I think. Right down to it, the main factor in her lives is that it's her, HAMASAKI AYUMI performing.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

Lol I've never seen a full Kuu OR Ayu concert. I like TV lives where their live voice sounds a lot nicer since they haven't been screaming for an hour and a half.

Also Taiwan which was the Heat performance, just with a taiwanese girl.

I'm still on Queen of Live's side as far as lives go, I could watch them for hours (and I do)

I need to rewatch DMP soon! I want a full version.

Maybe this have been brought to the table before but...

Isn't Alive's opening like reaaaaaaaally much alike the psalm "Dagen är nära" (the day is near)...? I don't mind though. It's a very pretty melody. In Sweden it's a pretty popular song to sing during funerals, same for my gandad's. God bless him.

The comment underneath says Handel's Rinaldo which is the opera that Alive sampled. Maybe this song is a song inspired by the same piece?

[~StarCatcher~]

Alive is a cover from an old opera song which has it's origin in Italia so it's possible that Sweden got the inspiration from that,too....

Riiii~~ght :-D

Almost at the same time ;-)

[MissElin_]

Yeah that's probably true! It's the same psalm, just another language. Nice to know. ^__^ Love that tune.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I must watch those performances...

What props are those? List or they don't exist.

Who else in Japan uses a Giant Disco Ball, rotating 3 tier cake platform, a pink Jeep, airplane seats, tickets, stripper poles, water cannons, magicians toys, a giant ferris wheel, a fish tank, a giant blow dryer, cages, mannequins, dinosaurs, 40000 foot light up dress....

Kuu has some crazy things going on in her mind now that I think of it.
