I can survive the vibrato, but the fake crying seems to be ruining the song every fucking time. It’s embarrassing to watch. I can forgive screaming and shouting, but she wouldn’t sound half as bad if she would only stop pretending to cry. Sounding awful should not be a part of the performance and with some of the songs its becoming normal and she seems to be doing it on purpose. And no you cannot possibly get that sad all of sudden after performing the song for over 70 times. She does the same thing when she sings Walk - the first time at the CDL it seemed genuin and I didn’t mind, but then last year she started choking at the same time both nights in Yoyogi and ruined a nearly perfect vocal performance.

Is it that hard to just stop, nobody is going to like her less if she stops the whole crying thing for the sake of performance. If it weren’t for that she could handle the majority of her recent songs without any problem.

Sometimes Ayu reminds me of that girl in the movie Mean Girls in the scene when all the girls need to read what they are sorry for before the crowd break their fall. But then this girl tells some heartbroken story, while appearantly never really did go to that high school, and responses with 'nooooooooo I just have a lot of feelings.'
Idk, that just having a lot of feelings just screams Ayu to me, and I got reminded of it again, when reading your post.

Sorry for the irrelevant post. I do agree wholeheartly with you though.

I completely agree with you. Back in the old days she truly got emotional while singing some songs such as Who..., teddy bear or Memorial Address. I'll always remember how those AT 03-04 performance gave me chills. Now it just seems extremely fake so it just makes her sound worse and it ruins the performance.

THANK YOU, not only Last minute but to a lot of songs she's been doing this act for the last few years.
