COUNTDOWN LIVE 2012-2013 A ~WAKE UP~ information thread

[adantatu2]

I like how she looks, but i don't like pink, with red, she would be cute and awesome IMO

[brener]

hope i'm not the only one who disliked the pink outfit..

[ExodusUK]

poor ayu..she just dresses up in a fun costume and people are psychoanalysing her and dissecting Japanese society from their parents house.

[Mai82Go]

You know what's integrated in our society? Complaining! Everyone loves it and we do it aaallll the time. Not enjoying something fun, but overanalyzing everything. It's like "there has to be something to dislike, otherwise I cannot complain!" The cutesy parts have always been parts of Ayus shows, whether she was 20 and will be even when she is 40. And it is good that way. This is pop music after all.

[Foyuki]

heard a new ballad song at venue dunno the title if it's Bye-bye darling I suppose
the lyric is very faithful

[Mai82Go]

^Cool, for rehearsals? More simple or powerful?

[Foyuki]

^ nope they broadcasted the studio version
just like single LOVE XD

[Mai82Go]

Makes sense. Cool that you got to listen to it.

[ayumi_ed]

Hope Ayu will perform Ivy again tonight!! It's a real lovely song~!

Missing Maro and Bye-bye darling debut hehehe

[Yoake]

The outfits are not outstanding but quite good for a CDL. The only one I don't like is her pink cute outfit. I never like clothes with big dots & I don't like this kind of pink.

[SolarAngel]

Yeah she had better cute outfits. Like the pink outfit with a gold corset for AT2005 My Honey performance. It's more flashy, actually looks cool and impressive and more fitting for a performance on stage.

[Earth_maiden]

those sellers better have photos of her outfits so I can buy too many and expand my ridiculous photo collection.

Doesn't sound all the impressive to me, we'll see if full HQ will change that opinion.

[ayumisrael]

Sounds good so far lol Like an R&B ballad/mid-tempo

And this is far from being something exclusive to japanese culture or to the East... Britney Spears' peak was 100% based on the fetish of being a submissive school girl, and a lot of famous celebrities and sex-symbols like Marylin Monroe, 90s Mariah Carey, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Miley Cyrus (and all the other Disney princesses) Carly Rae Japsen, etc, etc, etc use a innocente/childish/cute image to appeal to the public as submissive girls.

But I don't really think Ayu is strong enough to fight this all by heself, and I believe she perverts this idea a lot, so, I like it when she uses it most of the times.

Thanks! You're exactly summing up what I wanted to say.

[jyujiw]

Poor ExodusUK, so misunderstood... he has a kind of humor that is very difficult to understand, but with time you can get his irony.

Anyway, I hope that she performs a new song, it would be pretty exciting.
I would like to see a Sweet scar performance, but not in the encore, a more elaborated one. Guess I will have to wait 'till the AT 2013...

sounds so R&B/ pop !

on the other hand, people need to get over complaining too much, i mean if you are a fan of Ayu and familiar with Japan, Japan= cute stuffs, and the CDL and her concerts are meant for Japanese public so they have no problem with it its part of their culture. im not a fan of her cute dress,well some are just really cute but i just enjoy the show thats all.
