Ayu - Anything Goes Thread -XIII-

[Minttulatte]

^Best performance of I am... ever made.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

^So true

have any of you heard this Still Alone video where someone combined the orchestrated version with the original mix. It is such a headache but at the same time, I really want someone to make a higher quality, better version...

[Heavenly]

^ My favorite performance ever :3

[sitara]

where is the I am... performance from?
it is so good

p.s.: ayu should style her hair like that :p it suits her

[jiarongisme]

^ It's from ARENA TOUR 2002. Great concert butchered by horrible DVD editing and audio mixing.

[maxikot]

That is a video i made subs for and uploaded there (and few more) xD True, amazing performance ;-)

[ayu-michan]

So I'm writing a paper/presenting about Ayu's alterna PV, and near the end, does the normal color Ayu on the screen symbolize the "real" Ayu or the artist/product Ayu? I assumed it's her true self since she had natural makeup and normal skin color unlike the white Ayu with red lips. But considering she was being played on the "screen" which I also think is a TV, idk what to think of it.

[attractive nausea]

^ I don't know i really suck at this :c

Guyyyys i need a little help here, it's about mu-mo and Tenso
Planning on ordering Ayu goods there for the first time and i have to put the Tenso address in mu-mo, tenso gave me this "千住曙町４2－４-ＴＳXXXXXX　転送コム" and mu-mo is saying "(例：千住曙町42-4-TSXXXXX)" so should i put the "転送コム" at the end or not? I really don't wanna screw up

[rainbow_smile]

^ I never put 転送コム

[Gustavopc]

I do not put it also. What I have trouble with sometimes is text formating when pasting my address

[Matt_rq]

I want make me a mu-mo and Tenso account, Does anybody have a tutorial or something please?

[attractive nausea]

^ It's rather easy! I suggest you go tenso.com and follow the steps first.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I really liked Progress when it came out but nowadays I feel as if the only thing it really has going for it is the slight bass line throughout the song and the energy level.

I don't hate it but I feel like it could have been pushed harder.

I feel that way about most of her songs past 2010. Like if it could've just been tweaked a little or had something added or removed it would be perfect.

thank you.
yeah, I was wondering why there was suddenly behind the scenes material spliced in way to spoil the mood of the performance!! did somebody make a mistake o stage and they had to hide it??

(also: where can I find the photos they show her posing for in that gorgeous outfit? )

[Zeke.]

Progress I felt was vastly overrated when it came out. But Song 4 U was such a desperate attempt to sound similar that I came to accept Progress as superior by comparison.

[Gustavopc]

^ funny you say that cause for me Song 4 u was all progress wish it had been I like her vocals in S4U much better, and also the song overall, it just involves me more

[DonkeyKongRemix]

I agree, S4U is better IMO. I love her voice, the lyrics, and the progression in the music. I felt Progress was a good idea but it sounds kinda cheaply done. For S4U, the style works with the quality of the background music.

Song 4 U is still in my top ten favourites just because I feel it's high in energy and very...pretty.

[Zeke.]

I much prefer the "fighting spirit" communicated in progress. Song 4 U is like whimsical but in a corny kind of way.

Additionally, the beginning of the bridge in Progress is one of the best parts in all her discography. That:

"Nee, bokura wa,
kore made datte kore kara datte..."

This part really feels so heavy. I feel so much fighting spirit in this part. Like "despite the overwhelmingmess of it all, we/I will not give up with all my might!"
You can feel both the pain and the hope in this part of the song. That part of the composition and the way they arranged it really conveys so much emotion. There's such a dichotomy in her voice that uplifts and the way that the composition arrangement sinks downward at the same time.

[jean-baptiste]

I actually loved S4U when it came out. progress on the other hand, I've probably heard a handful of times.

Does anyone think S4U is actually more similar to SURREAL?
