ayu's stage presence

[Uknow!]

2014~2015
Happy Ending, Secret, Zutto, Last Minute (2), Walk, Adagio for A, Teddy Bear, Carols, Momentum, Step by Step.

Not counting band/acoustic... I can't get the point. Ayu wants big shows and that's why there are more things that before in the stage but when she needs to be alone she is.

I can understand you like more Ayu alone than with dancers (because they eclipse Ayu and can make the performance boring) but I can't think she is not comfortable ^^

The stage is where she's allowed to let her music resonate in her audience's hearts, so yeah I think she likes it there

[love in music]

I think she has an amazing stage presence when it's not tainted by the overacting. She's a bad actress, so you can tell when she's genuine and when she's faking. When she's genuine and pouring out her real emotions, she's amazing on stage.

I actually didn't want to get any point across (apart from that she and her stage presence are drowned by too many people on stage) as it was just a personal thought. As I said, that's why I said sometimes. And I also never said she doesn't like to be on stage, cause she clearly does.
But cause you're saying that... isn't it an interesting question why Ayu prefers big shows with lots of people around her?

She said why she prefers big shows in SONGS. After 16 years of concerts (A large number of concerts, more than other soloist I think) wanting more dancers on stage with you because you are not comfortable is a bit stupid... I can't understand it, but well, Ayu gives that impression to you and opinions are opinions, I accept yours ^^

Probably because most of her performances have a point that expand the meaning of the song by itself while also contextualize it on the concert, being very rare for her to have an elaborated performance that is pretty for the sake of being pretty. Depending on what she wants to convey, she needs more people.

That's one of the reasons I love her. Even thought she's not the best vocalist on Earth I think her stage presence is amazing, it makes me happy to see her performing. Every movement, every facial expression, everything is absolutely perfect. When I watch her concerts I'm always like "damn, she knows what she is doing."
