Ayu ~Anything Goes~ XVII

[attractive nausea]

^ I think the problem with chatrooms is that it can't be under control, people could have an argument over something and call each other names and no mod could do anything about that lol
I think i remember this forum having a chatroom part but no one was using it.

It would be nice to talk to other members more directly but I definitely can see how problems could arise from having a chat room.

[CatGirl]

Ah, yeah, that's completely fair. I forgot how heated arguments can get on this site sometimes haha it's definitely better to have posts that can be deleted/edited

I read a lot of comments saying that golden era of Ayu's vocals was 2003-2005 and I would like to know what is your favorite Ayu's performance with the best vocals?

I think recording wise this might be true, but idk... I think she did well choosing songs that fit her current state of voice for each era. Although, she has been bad at this lately, because EDM-type songs do not suit her voice that well anymore, nor do "pinky" type ballads.

As per your question, it's hard to say. Of course, HANABI at a-nation '05 is simply unbelievable. But also, I truly love Microphone, memorial address, and countdown at AT10. There is SUCH power there, and I felt her voice in that state was perfectly suited to those songs during those performances.

I see this often as well. I would have to agree that her vocals were good here. More consistent. I see a lot of people say that 2007-2008 is her worst, and that I don't see at all.
I think Ayu has both good and bad performances each and every year. I don't really see good or bad times.
The Memorial address performance for Rock n Roll Circus is a favorite of mine. I like when Ayu uses her power vocals.

[pedronekoi]

^ I really love Memorial Address in RnR Circus as well. So good <3

I just discovered this video on Youtube. I never saw anything about it and didn't even knew it happened! Crazy. So cute!

[ExodusUK]

Now kids won't even know who she is nevermind her songs..Avex need to fix this

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I watched that video back around the time I started listening to Ayu after downloading it in pieces and joining them together! I can't be the only one who remembers doing this?! Lol

Watching it now, the first think I thought of was I miss her old teeth Lololol.

The good old HJ Split times!

[EndOfTheWorld]

Thanks for sharing that!
I loved that video. That was so nice that Ayu did something like that and it was very heartwarming that the kids gave her that gift. She seemed to really appreciate it.
I may have seen the voyage performance many years ago in some low quality online video but it is most likely my imagination.

I love that performance of SEASONS and Days at the FNS Kayousai (if I recall it correctly). She looked beautiful and I loved her voice there. I don't think it's a fan favorite though...

she sounds absolutely beautiful in this. The whole video was just adorable.

does anyone remember this? lol She is such a troll.
She needs to go to one of his shows someday!


btw only today i noticed that if you have the Apple Music Membership, you can now stream Ayu's music. I'm not sure if it was only my country that was left out but i couldn't do that before.However, oddly enough
We are the QUEENS isn't on there.

Between fairyland and HEAVEN. Could tell because the veneers were super obvious in (miss)understood offshots. I'd guess she had the dental work done after she did the fairyland shoots in Hawaii.

I'm not sure when she put the front veneers but during AT 2006 she still had that prominent tooth.



I think she completed the "teeth fix" between AT 2006 and a-nation'06.

I can't believe I did a deep research about Ayu's teeth lol
