[Official Message] New Album; Tour: ayumi hamasaki PREMIUM SHOWCASE ~Feel the love~

[Isicio]

^I can't waiiit !!!

[happiholic★]

I just actually bothered to look at A Best Live's costumes. I'm not a fan. What I hate most, though, are her shoes. She has always worn the worst shoes during her concerts. They are too... sensible. I've seen other singes break it down in stilettos, but Ayu barely dances and she insists on wearing shoes that have the comfort level of Crocs.

I hope Alvin can give her new life. Harper's Bazaar photoshoot was to die for.

Crocs? I think you're over exaggerating. Cos I've not seen any to that level.

That outfit was worn during INSPIRE at the asahi performance.

The costume for is this LOVE? is different from the Don't look back/INSPIRE @ rnrc...

Yes, that was the point

[truehappiness]

It's possible Ayu's had bad experiences with heels during performances so she defaults to booties/sneakers/boots. I can't recall the last time she wore something like stilettos during a tour if at all. But we DO know she loves her shoes so it's not like she never wears them, hm..

Maybe so, remember there's time when she lose balance on stage (during rehearsals) and all, she probably preventing things like that to happen. She loves shoes and stilettos but maybe it's too much for her to wear one on stage plus she's not Beyonce lol but I do hope she wears a more flattering shoes like Kylie who's not afraid to wear her collection on stage

[ストロボ・EdGE]

And she doesn't even dance. Unless arm flailing counts.

You all must have run out of things to criticize ayu about if you're picking on her stage shoes, come on now lol

I know. Critiquing ayu for being sensible lol. I think it's just that she's a pop star so people expect her to perform in god knows what type of shoes.

Shit. I would wear comfy shoes too. I love how Tatsurou from MUCC sings so beautifully with no shoes and it's great. Ayu should just go join some band lol.

Anyway, if the outfit works and the shoes work with it, I'm good. No need to be a masochist if you don't want to.

I was about to say this.

And btw, by the amount of stage performances Ayu does every year, it's way more healthy not to perform in stilettos.

[owlflight]

I can barely walk in heels. I can't even begin to imagine performing in them.

I am kind of interested to see what the tour costumes will be like. I do have a few favorites from the past but I would love to see something new and interesting, not just an old one rehashed. Guaranteed a few of them will be covered in sparkles!

[Zeke.]

I could give a damn if she had dried cow shit on her feet. Shoes are the absolute last thing I'm worried about.

[terra]

^ I know it seems trivial at best but when someone points it out I noticed she rarely wear a bold looking shoes. An example would be her shoes for SURREAL in AT07 that's really lovely and cool, and I can't remember anything that's as lovely looking

[BabyJane]

I too have to admit some of her costumes over the last concerts haven't been flattering, but as long as Ayu feels comfortable in it and it serves its purpose on stage, why not? If you don't like it, you don't have to wear it, right? I just say personal taste!

Also the shoes. What if she does stumble on stage with sky high heels and breaks a leg or worse and has to cancel or postpone the tour. You all (at least those trying to attend concerts) would be more that pissed and blame her for her stage shoe choice again.

She can't please everybody. Just let her do her thing!

[happiholic★]

You guys are free to think that criticizing Ayu's shoes is a sign that I've run out of things to say, and I'm free to think they are ugly as fuck. It takes something away from the concert for me. I took fashion in school, this is something that interests me. Something I've been trained to notice. So, no, I haven't run out of things to talk about.

[ava_dreams]

yeah, every other performer manages to find not only comfortable but also visually pleasing shoes. Ayu's shoes are always the black hole of her costumes.

[Coelacanth]

LOL, how would you know other performer's shoes are comfortable? i swear, some of you talk like you been on tour/worked in production... I mean really, bye.

more info on the album please.

[happiholic★]

^I used to dance, and I've been in many kinds of shoes to perform on stage, so yes, I can talk like that.

Wow well it sounds like you've just got it all figured out! Can't wait to buy tickets to YOUR concert instead of Ayu's! Your beautiful shoe choices make me a fan!
