ayumi hamasaki 15th Anniversary TOUR ～A BEST LIVE～ VI

[douggn]

I dont think ayu looks fat, despite this topic coming up each year, I think its more her height and when she put little bit of weight on, she looks fuller, but just because shes doesn't rival a stick, doesn't mean shes fat. Ayu always goes up and down from super trim ayu to this. Lady Gaga can be classed as getting fat but ayus just a little weight, no more and no less than whats usually happens

I wonder who came up with the idea that being blonde make people look younger... I see many Asian artists saying that, but I always think they look younger with darker hair colors. In Ayu's case, imo the time she looked older (not really 'old', just older) was 2011 with the very short blonde hair.

[BlackSilence]

^ i think you look younger with your natural hair color. Personally for me i had black hair and everyone said it put few years to me. for some reason blond hair = grey hair to me xD it's very close so i always thought it makes people older rather than younger xD

[George]

It really depends, I guess? I look older younger when I dye my hair black. I'm blonde (on the lighter side) and I have to dye it a couple of shades lighter because it washes me out.
...

I don't think men could truly understand the pressure women face. Men face the same issues, but not to the same extent that women do. Plus, being a man is a privilege in itself. Although, at the end of the day it's not really a competition.
...

I think her body looks good either way: with a bit of weight or without. It's just that her face bloats up a lot when she gains a wee bit of weight.

I'd be a woman IF ONLY FOR THE FASHION!!!

It says + Bonus footage. Of course I would hope for the other songs performances but I wouldn't count on it

I know, but from what we've heard, it has a different arrangement and length, I think, so...

Tracklist's okay, I like it, but it's absolutely not anniversary worthy. At this point the only special thing well done we had to celebrate this 15 years is the Tell All pamphlet, everything else is what she would have done anyway (new album, DVD tour with booklet, etc.) or a mess. I would have been perfectly fine with a digital single of Tell All, and a PV for celebrating, clean and simple.
I can't wait to hear her vocals anyway, since almost everybody said she did so well!

So they decided to include 2 tracks she lip synced to. Niiice. Love the rest of the track list though. Thanks for the info.

Welcome ^^

I don't understand why MY ALL isn't on the CD tracklist.

What does it matter as far as this CD goes, though? It's not like she lip-synched to the original studio versions; she at least re-recorded the vocals, so you're still getting something new to listen to.

I thought that there's already people reporting that there doesn't seem to have any lip sync performance on the last concert?
And your comparison of the news report was kinda unreliable. As how sure are you that they had the real live footage of the concert? They might be reporting on the last concert but doesn't mean that the footage is the latest it's not the 1st time news reports have being using recycle materials. So I would trust the people who are actually there on that date.

Among people that went to the concert, he is the only one claiming she lip-synched tracks...

At least it was more reliable than just words of excited fans. But sure thing I didn't go to Final so I can't know 100%, but it's very unlikely that she suddenly decided to sing Poker face/Fly high/honey live after 4 months of lip syncing these songs. Everyone's free to have his/her ipinion, and that was mine.

It was hard to notice that she lip synced to these 3 songs because pre-recorded vocals were not pitch-perfect, they were left untouched with slightly off-key notes, so I didn't even notice lip syncing myself until I returned home and compared sound from my recording of 4 shows and other fans' recordings from previous shows.

I agree, but I wasn't excited about these songs since I already have them recorded so I wonder if they just fix off-key notes from these pre-recorded versions from this tour or use completely different vocals.

Really? What about these reports? Or you meant only the Final show?

From JEWELian's report (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showpo...ostcount=460):
Erm what else... pokerface~Fly high and HONEY were totally mimed...

As I said I don't think the tracks were fully lip synced, but she partially used the head mic for poker face and sang the rest of it with the mic which was on the stand. Her vocals seemed really high pitched and compared to the rest of the concert it sounded different...
