[Official Message] Countdown Live 2013-2014 DVD&Blu-Ray on 30.04.2014

^Deli makes a good point.

Anyway, if people are actually upset with her lip synching, they can go send her plenty of nice tweets telling her not to do it anymore and how she's cheating. She replied to that one tweet for feel the love lol.

And then you can just complain about her messed up vocals when she actually sings those songs live instead of playback and editing lol. A lot of fans have problems with her voice and it really has been struggling.

Ayu has never been some amazing technical singer or musician in general. She isn't Hikki.

But whatever. Everyone is allowed to have expectations.

Personally, if I was at the concert and couldn't tell she was lip synching, I would probably still be in tears seeing her live.

She replied to a lip-synch complain? What did she say?

Hikki is an amazing musician and have a huge feeling for music, but she isn't that much of a technical vocalist either... She herself said she feels more confortable crafting her music in studio than singing it live, and that a lot of her compositions don't fit her voice range.

People like Hitomi Shimatani, Ayaka Hirahara, Akina Nakamori, etc. are really good vocalists, but most jpop stars with a relevant western fanbase are pretty much passable singers.

But I agree with what Deli said, but I would say Ayu's intention on the performance depends a lot on the song... There are some stuff clearly thought to be perfect, usually the most theatrical parts, but all of her concerts has moments when she is pretty much just singing, no matter how good it ends up being, and I'm not saying that about the encore.

I can see how good the vocalists you mentioned are. With me, the good singers, vocalists are also the feeling bringer to the audiences. Hikki can do it and so ayu can...
ayu is the only artists makes me enjoy her whole concert ...
although ayu lipped so much in this show, we can tell it to her and hope for the another good concert

Now i read those comments on this cdl but has she really sung in playback? O.O

[Delirium-Zer0]

For years and years and years. Same as every pop star ever.

[jyujiw]

I'm late, but I just want to say that this CDL was one of her best concerts to date.

I think that strive for perfection of Ayu is more a thing she had in the past.
Now, while not being sloppy or anything, she just plans things out and then has fun on stage. Or so it seems to me.

Ugh, I love that Feel the love outfit so much!
I can't wait for this release!
