Honestly speaking, I knew that Ayu would not pull a Leona Lewis or give So Hyang a run for her money, but her singing on that day was so off-putting to the point that the excitement from seeing her live for the first time (after becoming a fan in 2006 thanks to JEWEL's promotional video) and the anticipation prior to the concert could not even save the show for me. Aside from the vocals, I did, however, enjoy the overall CDL to certain extent. I particularly loved the new and majestic arrangement of GREEN and I was absolutely pumped up by The Show Must Go On; that song was most definitely made for live shows, considering how much energy it gave to the audience members. I will probably attend another CDL next year to see whether she would impress me with her vocals or disappoint me even further. I really do believe that all she needs is just proper rest and good care of her vocal chords.
Aw, I'm sorry her vocals were so disappointing for your first ayu concert.
I hope she does better next time you go.

I hope she gets good rest too, she definitely seemed sick, so I'm not at all bitter or anything for this CDL not being good vocally. This is just the first time where I don't even think them editing her live vocals for the DVD can make them tolerable. We will see.

But anyway, wasn't it just a month ago where she sung SEASONS pretty much flawlessly live? She still has it in her to put on a good vocal performance

i hope i get some replies towards my opinion .. agreeing / disagreeing .. :O

i just finished watching the concert annnnnd:

positive:
+ it was simple but awesome!
+ the ballad section wasn't half the show
+ her outfits were on point - her skinny jeans and the jacket looked stunnin on her and her hair was adorable! (except the leather outfit during warning and unite, i enjoyed all costumes)
+ she looked healthy and trained! her body looked full of muscles sometimes (especially, when the camera captures her from the side) in that black leather dress!
+ ivy - thank you ayu, for holding strong and not crack in tears in it! it was an amazing performance and that kimono, uh ayu. A+
+ summer diary - uh that jump on shu-ya at the beginning of summer diary. WOW.
+ dream on & marionette were memorable, too. i loved when they bound her into the cube.
plus:

i disagree with most comments on AHS i think 'many classic moments' was stunning ! her voiced got throaty towards the end but that didn't bothered me at all! I thought, because of AHS, many classic moments will be the most awful performance in her live history - gladly it wasn't!

negative:
- i actually enjoyed the "m(a)de in Tokyo" theme , but they used it for 10% of the show, only.
- unite and warning hasn't been satisfied for me. Unite was harsh, those high tones were tough listening to and I personally think that warning sounded lip-sinc with mic on, so she could sing the lalalala. next time she'd better turn it y off .
- green was rather a traditional version instead of a rock version. I was a little bit disappointed because i enjoy ayu's rock version but the traditional was solid. (AHS calls it the rock version)
- TK was just .... oh lord ...

All in all, it's a solid concert which can be approved for an even better arena tour. if she uses the theme and adapt it "stronger" on more songs than, i think, the arena tour will be a huge success. thank you so much for a wonderfull start in 2016 Ayu !!!

just wanna say:

- the shadow dancing before ballad medley was good, hope they will keep and improve in nxt AT

- i love the ballad medley in CDL ~do it again~, but this is bad because all the songs end so sudden and they do use some outro from prev CDL/AT

- i love STEP you! hope the dvd will keep the audience laugh because i think thats her purpose wearing that. and little remix in between make it special too.

- i enjoy UNITE! too, especially some oriental remix in between the song.

- yes, her live voice is bad, but wasn't thats a fact we should accept after PCDL and her half deaf announcement? plus the beginning of Love song and MCM ending do prove that she still have great voice if she didn't have to shout over the bgm. so don't worry, her team are professional in remixing her voice in dvd after years of "training".

- am i the only one think all her costume in this show is ugly (except the one in ballad section)? i hate the red lace with black boots!!

- im glad she bring back Ivy in this CDL after she remove this song last minute in CDL last show few years ago. hope in nxt AT she will perform SAKURA / Melody / petal / Gloria, those great song from LOVE again really deserve live performance in big stage.

- lol @ Ivy dress stuck in beginning and she trying hard to remove her jacket in MY ALL.

- glad this tv version included ayu speaking from behind the stage after the show. u can see only true fans will only go after the announcement finish.

- and last, i hate shuya new hair!!!

Just watched the whole concert and I don’t think that her vocals were THAT bad. It was a little difficult for her here and there, for example in UNITE! or Fly high but considering she was literally singing through the whole year 2015 I was pleasantly surprised. She could have sounded so much worse. And not only her, even Timmy’s and Princess’s voices seemed a little strained, so I think it was quite alright. Speaking of Timmy, I had to laugh so hard at his outfit You can complain about him all the way you want, but at least Ayu and he are constant with his awful outfits. Somehow I love that about him, even though he looks annoying sometimes.

Overall I like the concert a lot, especially the GREEN, WARNING, Marionette and Ivy performances. The only thing which I dislike are her outfits, I only like the one she wears through the ballad medley, Winter diary and Summer diary. But that’s alright, I don’t care for her outfits that much anyway. Many Classic Moments also was not as bad as I thought but I agree that Tetsuya Komuro was so unnecessary
The new arrangement of GREEN is lovely, I like the original a little bit more, but this one sounds amazing as well. Although it also reminded me more of China than of Japan I still love the theme and if there will be a Tour in 2016, I hope she extends it a little bit more.

^LOL that part I agree with. The piano basically ruined the song. You gotta admit though, during the last 30-45 seconds of the song, she sounded pretty raspy. That's just because of strain though, and singing so often. It's not indicative of being a bad singer or not singing well. These things happen.

I don't think Komuro is made for a frontline performer and definetely not just to sit and play simple melody. Look here - no weird feelings, he looks actually cool with all keyboards around him. (+pretty good music, you can check "Get wild" too. I like TM Network concerts, became fond of them recently)

I love the moment when that new dance part kicks in STEP you and ayu starts running with that huge rabbit costume on her. This has to be my favourite performance of STEP you. Ayu is not overracting like in past shows or trying to be cheesy sexy like in 2014. And the fact that she choose something that funny as attire is even more appealing like me. And I see that most people hate it lol
And I almost forgot. Vocals are really nice here. I don't agree with the people that say her vocals are the worst in this show. I mean, have you heard past Tv versions of CDLs? If I remember correctly, CDL 12-13 is quite strained in many parts.

Hmm, it probably depends on our tastes ultimately : )
For example, I find Countdown Live 2001-2002 almost unbearable even with DVD editing : ))

By the way, thanks for the uploading. Hopefully, they won't get the videos down x.x
