Thoughts on A Nation performance

[truehappiness]

Does anyone think that TRF's lead singer sometimes sounds like she's singing through her nostrils?

I love the voice but.. :/

[immel]

I don't like her voice, even if she can sing pretty well.

I saw quite a lot of their performance while randomly skipping a-nation through, and I can't do anything but agree with you ... :|

It's pretty common for girls in Japan to talk partially through their nostrils by what I have heard though. (you hear that VERY well sometimes when Ayu is talking)

[truehappiness]

No no, its not like nasally.. it sounds like her voice is coming out of her nose. O_O

@Sunshine - Ah, of course!

actually. it depends.. I can probably make it in June... but not all concert tours last till June..

[immel]

Her last two lasted until mid-june, or around 10-15th.

If she goes for another Arena Tour, like the other two, I'm pretty sure that will be the case, although I actually start doubting that considering how long they are holding back information of a new album.

oh.. besides.. a hongkong radio show said that a "huge japanese superstar
" would come for an asia tour during april in 2007, but Japan doesn't want to reveal the artist is yet.. if it's Ayu; she might not even be in japan then

[ayu1m]

Umm.. are you talking about AT07?

I so hope she will be in Japan then.. x___x

[chocopockymaster]

I think the dates for AT07 will revolve largely around the release date of the new album...who knows, if it's a spring album (which is quite possible, I'm not sure if Ayu would only release 2 singles [I say two because we haven't had any news about 1LOVE/JEWEL] and then an album), maybe she'll do another Stadium Tour! *^____^*

And I would be so there.

i thought she sounded amazing during "startin". i've never heard her sound so good actually.

i seem to dislike "blue bird" more and more everytime i hear it. it kinda felt like it went on forever.

ps: did anyone notice the dancer with the rainbow "1love" cm hair?

[Norrel]

Her a-nation performances were great :3

AYU KEEPS MAKING US DROOL OF AT06 by showing more videos from it! XD

[Azmaria]

loved the performances, most Startin' (kinda my fav song of the year), it was so powerful and she looked also gorgerous (sorry if spelled wrong), only think I disliked was the other outfit the shirt was awsome, but didn't like the rest T_T

[Axel_Grease]

Great performance definitely. x3 Startin' was great. And BB too, made me like the song again.

I wonder if the security guards weren't there, would someone have picked Ayu up and passed her along in the crowd? xD

Really?? Because I will DEFINETLY go to the next Arena Tour, I'm saving money for it (It will cost me around US$4000, because I come from in Chile T__T, but it's worthy!)

[immel]

If I am going I have no problem with meeting up with people, and as I have been in Tokyo and explored a lot I feel quite safe walking around the place.

Yes, really.

I thought Ayu's Startin' sounded great in thie live. It's like her best live for Startin' vocally! Really nicely executed. However, I thought BLUE BIRD was boring. Urgh, I still feel it's the most lacklustre summer song Ayu has produced.

But yup, it's very refreshing to see Ayu interacting on a whole new level with the audience, like how she stopped down to shake hands with this girl who had this AYU sign in her hand. Very cool live indeed.

I thought Ku was a bit over vocalizing on you, I'd rather her stick to the dancing she had in Ningyohime and did less of the "woo woo" and "yeah yeah". My ears almost bled in one instance.

Haven't gotten a chance to watch the other performances though.

[truehappiness]

imo, BLUE BIRD has power, it just wasn't used as well as it could've been..

[immel]

The song sure has power, but I think that as a big-boom-live-performance song it's pretty weak, a little bland, like fairyland :/.

[truehappiness]

Honestly, I think Beautiful Fighters would've worked better LOL
It's very 'yay!'~

She should've just done July 1st >> And stuck in BLUE BIRD somewhere else..
