^ I suggest you listen to Winding Road (LOVE CLASSICS version) if you don't already do it because that version is so soothing and beautiful

Last night i dreamt i was sitting on a bus at nighttime and the new version of Kanariya started playing on the radio, crazy, not a studio version but the same live version we just got.

anyway, I just loooove that performance of Kanariya. The new remix for it is PERFECT. I would love a recorded version.

I want an official instrumental version of the new kanariya.

Same here! They could call it "kanariya ~Ballad version~"! I really love it!

Btw, after I listened to the new version of kanariya I directly listened to the original version and after that I showed it to my friend! He really liked Ayu's live performance of it but he fell in love with the original version and even showed it another friend, after adding it to his favourites. And he isn't really a J-Pop listener

truehappiness · #**344** 4th January 2017, 01:55 AM

Technically, isn't there already a ballad kanariya?

EndOfTheWorld · #**345** 4th January 2017, 04:39 AM

I mean I am so happy it was performed but the effects used on her voice bother me quite a lot. Maybe that was her artistic intention or they just wanted to hide her voice because of the high notes. But underneath the noise it sounded like she was singing it very well and within her range.

But the new arrangement is just gorgeous and very moving.

Same.

This might not be the most important thing about her releases but the quality drop on the packaging affects the way I percibe the whole thing. I would love that big cd+dvd cases and double dvd case for the concerts to come back, and its getting worse because now there isn't even booklet on the concerts...

Andrenekoi · #**349** 4th January 2017, 01:24 PM

I found the vocoder to be too much for my tastes... But the effect does fits the lyrics, as she kinda sounds like she is suffocating

someone feeling old?

I just can't believe it's been 9 years already since the release of GUILTY

That's her first album I've ever downloaded, right after following glitter/fated, talkin' 2 myself, and Together When.

ExodusUK · #**351** 6th January 2017, 01:26 AM

People don't talk about this one much but it slayed for me and Ayu served us many classic ugly wig moments

I've totally lapsed and need to catch up on Ayu's concerts over the last 2 years after suffering from Ayu fatigue.

Louass · #**352** 6th January 2017, 05:39 AM

^I love that CDL!
But the hair is so horrid the whole time that I blocked all memories of this CDL from my brain, lol. Same with Power of Music but it wasn't as bad there, at least

(ho shit 200 posts already how)

Aderianu · #**353** 6th January 2017, 06:22 AM

Wigs at this CDL was so bad, that I can't remember anything else

Oh, I'd forgotten those wigs

At least she cut her hair for PoM.

I find when I go back a year or two later to concerts that I was a bit harsh on them at the time and enjoy them more later on. I guess there are songs I wish had been performed at the time so I miss them in the setlist but forget that I wanted them when I rewatch later.

Also, no Lico this CDL?

dreamalley · #**355** 6th January 2017, 11:42 AM

I have always been curious about it. In the 2013 tour, 15th anniversary A Best Live, did Ayu use any wigs?

She has so many different hairstyles in that concert. Loose wavy hair with fringe (A song for xx, Memorial Address), tight updo (M / No Way to Say), wet hair (Tell All / Wake Up), dry ponytail (Boys and Girls), ponytail with fringe (Poker Face ~ Honey), side curly ponytail (SURREAL), loose big princess hair (Heaven).

I keep wondering which ones are wigs. Her hair in Heaven looks like a wig.

attractive nausea · #**356** 6th January 2017, 12:51 PM

^ Yeah i think the one during JEWEL/HEAVEN is def a wig, not sure about the other ones, they look like real hair to me o:

Same thing for me! I didn't like CDL 12-13 for instance and i think i never watched it more than once, but i saw a few videos from that CDL on yt and i feel like watching it again, it looks like a good CDL after all lol
LICO has graduated, she's no longer part of ayu team.

dreamalley · #**357** 6th January 2017, 12:57 PM

If the other ones aren't wigs then I'm really impressed with how they managed to change her outfit and wet her hair for "Wake Up" and later changer her outfit again, dry her hair and style it differently in just a few minutes for the next song.

attractive nausea · #**358** 6th January 2017, 01:20 PM

^ I think this is impossible, one of them must be a wig haha
+ Her hair is pretty long at the beginning of the concert (A Song for XX) but when it's wet during Tell All it appears to be shorter.

Refix · #**359** 6th January 2017, 07:13 PM

From that do it again concert, beside the set list I only love her opening costume. Cool and glam rock AF. Nowadays are just... meh.

Oh totally missed that LICO had graduated out of the troupe! >.<

I watched some Made in Tokyo on Youtube the other day too and thought it was good but at the time I wasn't fussed by it!
