When I listened to HEAVEN I was seriously going to cry.. Finally this song has a performance in its original version~ ♥

HEAVEN is my favourite song ever. I was at the first concert so I had no idea about the tracklist, you can imagine how I was crying while the performance of this awesome song xD


I think this tour has nothing really special, not big props or something we are used to, but has great vocals, great choice of traklist (some are overplayed, but are Ayu's trademark). In the end, this is what really matters.

Memorial address, No way to say, JEWEL, Key ~eternal tie ver. & teddy bear are my faves but A song for XX, M, Heaven and Voyage are really good too =)
So now I want the Bluray

Btw the news arrangment for Voyage reminds me of those for Progress !!!

Wow, there's even a proper page with a layout. And there is not just Guilty here in France anymore! Great.

Her live vocals are quite strong on teddy bear! Keep up the good work!

edit: 16€ for a digital cd... Are they crazy?

[owlflight]

Getting my copy tomorrow! So excited!

[brener]

yay gonna buy it on iTunes Brazil :3 this is actually the very first time i buy ayu stuff on iTunes.. *-*

[yamadashun]

Voyage really amazes me! like many people said, its new arrangement is very progress which is very nice!

by the way, what are the the english lyrics she sang? " we're on the journey, looking for love..." (can't tell the rest) wondering if it's added by Timmy.

[jiarongisme]

I'm honestly contemplating buying this again. I didn't want to buy this album at first because I don't usually listen to live albums. But the rearrangements and Ayu's vocals in this are STELLAR. Gotta reconsider this.

[freedreamer]

yes its all live! hahahha
gosh listening to this CD just brings back all the memories. The utter shock when she first appeared on stage and I'm right there watching my idol finally.

And HEAVEN, that song just blew me away. Wait till you guys watch the performance.

I don't think we can really trust people's opinions from live experience. When I saw Ayu, I thought she sounded so bad-ass and nothing was wrong with the performances. Mind you, this was during her 2008 10th Anniversary Tour, and I believe many people have complained about vocals during that live extravaganza. You get so lost in the moment, it's hard to make a proper judgement on voice alone, when there are so many elements building up your experience at the them.

I think her singing became really great. It seems that for this tour she really changed her technic she sang somehow different, without screaming and threw the long vibratos and wailings away (even though I liked them at fit times). She will never be "Mariah Carey" but she does have a good voice and she's singing good.

I feel that I might be the only person on this forum who really can't stand the new Voyage-wanna-be-a-Disney-musical-arrangment. Couldn't stand it in Saitama, nor in Yokohama, neither in my memory. Good thing that the rest of the album is slayer.

[AyuWorld]

im so impressed and happy with what she did with No Way To say and Voyage! no nasal voice she got her voice well controlled.

and gosh key sounds so amazing! i love her powerful here *_*

[rainbow_smile]

I'll wait until I receive my copy to listen to this *.* And yay it's even available in iTunes Store Russia!

Isn't this what they always sing in the background in the studio version?

Ah that's so great to hear! I'm really proud of her improvement in her live vocals. She sounded awesome on this live album.

You're right ^^ Timmy has nothing to do with this sentence lol

[Didz-19]

I love the poker face arrangement!!! But is it really that short?

[ayumisrael]

poker face~Fly high was a medley that's why they are so short. Their length together are of one song (4:41).

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Can anyone fill in the English lyrics for Voyage?

This is all I can hear... but there's one phrase right before "meant to be happy"

"we're on a/the journey
looking for love

meant to be happy"

I don't think so. I mean I went to the concert two days in a row. I know these vocals are the vocals I heard on the final day.
