They are supposed to be a "trilogy" medley so of course they're not full.

POWER of MUSIC was featured on CDTV this week! The .ts is too large for me to get on JPS though~



OMG.

So I think Shu-ya DID flip someone off in the middle of Boys & Girls.


How odd... I wonder what happened. Unfortunate that the camera panned to him right when it happened.

Also, I can't wait to see this part of the concert on DVD/Blu-ray... hnggg wind machine.

Wow, Shu-ya is usually so professional, I wonder what happened.

And that BRILLANTE clip makes me even more sad I wasn't able to catch the Ustream of the concert

This is the stuff gifs were made to immortalize.

I thought that maybe he hadn't really flipped anyone off since there hasn't been anything about it in the press (at least that I've seen. Though I haven't really been looking). Watching it again, I can't imagine what else he could be doing.

"The finger" insult really isn't as insultive in Asia as it is in the West. It's more an act of defiance, and in the situation it merely looks like Shu-Ya was joking around with the audience that laughed~ I doubt they would of been insulted. Classic culture clash lol

Oh, thanks. That'd explain a lot.

I never understood why it's even that offensive in the US like...in Germany it's still relatively offensive but noone would blur it out of TV shows and stuff.

Even though it isn't as insulting in Asia/wherever else, I can't help but feel like Shu-ya is probably aware of Western culture enough to know what it means...

His body language during the whole thing is also not very 'joking' in nature, I think.

I remember some sort of scandal in Japan when a japanese boxer (?) gave middle finger to his opponent and audience. So I guess it's still offensive.

The whole of Asia is aware of what it means in Western culture. But to be honest, I would have to disagree with the body language..but hey, we'll never know. I'd just rather think that Shu-Ya, or any of Ayu's staff, aren't stupid enough to put her reputation at risk or insult her fans that support them. I think Ayu would be more angry than anyone.

Well, if there's any scandal in the media we'll find out~ lol

In modern culture Japan it really isn't as offensive as it is here. So I guess it depends on the context? If you use it whilst being aggressive in general, then of course it's going to cause offence. I just can't imagine a dancer in the middle of a concert used to making mistakes getting that worked up/aggressive lol

Yeah, that's how I saw it too.

Oh Shuya, I love you so much more now.

This moment in BRILLANTE was gold.

And now, remembering how I was sad about this tour when they announced the total change of the concept, it's kinda funny that now, I'm expecting it as never before... s2
Even with the ustream transmission her vocal was pretty good, i can't imagine it in the DVD! =O

[truehappiness]

I wonder if the people who were filming saw it as soon as it went to air and cut to a different angle, lol.

[tasking]

I honestly thought her vocal for BRILLANTE wasn't all that good. She was SCREAMING in my opinion. But, because it's BRILLANTE, nothing can ruin it. Not even screaming vocal.

Speaking of which, who else thinks Ayu should hire Timmy as BG Vocal for every concert? Wow.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

I must say that the show was way better than expected. The live band was a perfect decision. Ayu's vocals were good (even great) sometimes but there were another parts where she was just screaming. Anyway, it was a great concert (worst arena tour since 2003-2004 but a good show anyway).
But please Ayu.... Change that hair NOW!!

[Ayumiko]

the concert was pure awesome!! My fav part of this concert is the arrangement of the songs and the orchestra especially the horns/brass group! They were so into it! Love this concert so much!

It was funny when the 2 band members dressed up as timmy and ayu from the brilliante performance.
