And don't you think it would look awkward if he didn't look comfortable in what he was doing? :

He told me she wanted him to look more like a witch. It's not like Ayu just let everyone on stage doing whatever they feel like doing and it magically turns into an organized spetacle, she even watches a double of herself performing the whole thing with outfits and dancers to see how the audience will see it.

God I love Moments. It's in my top 3 Ayu songs ever. But, there isn't a single performance of it that I enjoy. They never do the studio recording justice, and the song sounds completely different and less "uplifting". I think it's because they change it so it's easier to sing live.

[AyUmIXx]

^ maybe ayu has realized that timmy was way too stand out on last year's a-nation, so she decided to tone timmy down haha. which is good, and i'm not against timmy, just hv to agree that timmy should be just liked the rest of the team, just simply act like a background vocal.

[EnergizE]

Is it me or Ayu is wearing domething under her costumes ? like a big belt on her waist... You know something when your back hurts...
She didn't move as well as usually...

And when she thew her shirt.. I felt like she had something under her short...

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Is he really a Drag Queen though? I don't think he is. You guys sound ignorant calling him that, you should ask him personally to see what he likes to be called when he's wearing makeup, although maybe he just likes makeup which doesn't make him a Drag Queen instantly.

[HilaryDuffFanboy]

I'm only 3 songs in but these are some of the best performances Ayu has done in a while.

I loved the INSPIRE/RULE outfit and Ayu was owning the stage and her vocals were great, I acknowledge they have likely been edited for TV.

With Moments her vocals were so good, you could see she was trying to sing those high notes and not scream them, her face scrunched up each time those high notes in the chorus came along, was funny.

[yamogi]

Timmy is not drag queen...it's simply a image on stage....

[BlackSilence]

this is kind of cool!


someone on twitter said it was kind of amateurish and that it should have been done by mechanics but i think this looks more alive, it's like the dancers are givng her wings, if you think about it, everyone who's working with her indeed helps her "fly"...

She sounds great, since Party Queen her vocals were getting better and better and i love that and she and looks great and evereything is just so sophisticated and well done... I am not particulary liking the rest of the outfits but the performances were of a great quality and well planned i think.

And really.. am I the only one to see how ridiculous looks her chest in the Hanabi dress? It must be filled with air!

Spoiler:

she got this Namie vibe for Inspire/Rule, just the hair because Namie always set her hair like that

during Inspire/Rule perf, Ayu is smiling all the way, she looked relax and enjoying the songs,she lookes so professional too, loved her dance, but theres seems lack a bit of this "WOW" power for Rule and i'd prefer she started off with Rule and continue with Inspire

i agree with you! theres something weird with her chest with that hanabi dress! i really preferher red costume for last year's hanabi performance

i really really love this part! so beautiful and amazing, they did a great job, did anyone else love the intro for Moments? i fell in love with it oriental vibe

You & Me got a new choreography, they got this lil different dance routines in each part of the song,and its cute to see Ayu also dance along there

ps: what happened to Yo-chan?? he had lost weight but he looked like hes sick or something he looked so different really and seems like not really the happy go lucky Yo chan

Leave Timmy alone.. And yes it's all ayu at ayu's shows.

HANABI a-nation 13>all other HANABI performances a-nation 05's too.

her vocals are amazing and there's a lot of emotion on the performance!


btw, thank god SHU-YA isnt there running from side to side of the stage punching his chest... i was missing so bad her solo acts.

[rainbow_smile]

Wasn't she sick during the a-nation? Or was that on the festival later?

Oh I see, thank you ^^

Anyway, I was very impressed with Ayu-s vocals on a-nation! I definitely like it more than her A Best Live CD

[Livey~]

Right now I'm really in love with HANABI.
It is really one of the best performances ever~

But.. Did Kazuma leave too?

[errikkutrancex]

Wowow really decided to change the Ayu's voice live during the show ?? the voice effect looks like all the arabian songs (but it permits not to hear faulse tone) theshow was nice but boys & girls/july 1st fed me up...

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Anyone's got a youtube link??
