～POWER of MUSIC～ 2011 A LIMITED EDITION setlists, photos, and etc. [IV] - Page 10

Come on now, mods are probably pulling their hair out by now.
And yes, we're all allowed to have a discussion and an opinion and bla bla, but within the lines of being on topic and non-ridiculous.

And I should probably stay on the topic myself, so!

Was anyone besides me positively surprised over that setlist? Now that I think of it, it has a lot of powerful and motivational songs instead of a whole lot of sad ballads, at least on the limited edition setlist.

I can't believe how she can keep track of it all, must mean one heck of a lot of rehearal and good memory. But nothing new there, she's been going at it for about 11 years now

She does mess up lyrics every few shows though. It's kind of a d'oh moment when it happens since she tends to switch choruses.

I wonder if that's stress or the fact that she's got sooo many songs to keep track of.

I thought she was an amazing live singer when I first watched CDL 04-05 and AT05.

Did you watch the live TV version of that concert?

Lol, no. CDL 04-05 DVD was the first ever performance I saw from Ayu and I was so touched. AT05 was DVD obviously and when I watched CDL 05-06 (TV version) I hated it. I don't think it was the vocals though - it was just the energy didn't seem as "hyped" as CDL 04-05. It was quite boring IMO.

I prefer Ayu with long hair too...Sometimes she doesn't do the right style though.

I guess from like, that style she had up there...that's like, that typical magazine young girl with long hair style...so maybe for older women it looks kinda silly?

Maybe thats what they mean by it...idk lol

chu-lips · #7 27th October 2011, 08:25 AM

if i remember correctly ayu herself ever explain it that she's now more comfortable with mature looks make up...

truehappiness · #8 27th October 2011, 08:27 AM

She said she might go for dark hair soon so hopefully that is REAL soon.

I think her makeup changed and all that because the guy who was her hair-make person (Keizo Kuroda) left and was replaced. If you see other artists who have an "Ayu look" to them, they probably are using her old staff members. It's happened a few times, lol.

Hope thats true.. I really want ayu with black or dark brown hair...

Kanzaki · #11 27th October 2011, 09:17 AM

I agree, she looks stunning with (long) dark hair. I hope that she's going to pull it off soon.

truehappiness · #14 27th October 2011, 09:24 AM

CDL05-06 is probably the golden gem of all CDLs for most fans I think. She looked hot, she sounded great in the DVD, epic performances... etc. She was at the top of her game in 2005/2006 when it came to tours/style.

And the dark hair thing came from an interview she just did [translated by Misa-chan]:

Q61. Do you plan to change your hairstyle soon?
A. When it becomes a little longer, I may stop being blonde and go for dark hair.

If you remember a Japanese man with his stomach showing in off my way / on my way, that is him. He was also in a lot of making-ofs like you said.

I'm surprised you guys like her makeup there, she looks pale and sick.

^Haha yeah. But yet they still point at you when you come walking on the streets. "GAIJIN!" xD Also, they stare like maniacs.
They also used to paint married womens teeth black (so everyone would know that she was "taken") until the late 1900th century before the western cultures taught them it was kind of freaky. Funny culture thingy.

Anyway...

I for one loved her ST'02/RAINBOW PV hair style. It was so simple yet very nice looking. She would probably loose some age with that hair style instead of gaining age like with her current hair style. She did good in short hair before, I'm not loving it anymore though.

But OMG yes, longer darker hair!

She actually had very lovely hair during CDL 09-10. It was kind of a mix between ST'02 and (m)u era.

Earth_maiden · #18 27th October 2011, 12:11 PM

^ I pointed at a few things in Shibuya and got some death glares from a few Japanese. XD But most of them stared at me anyway, because I acted like a total GAIJIN in every sense of the word. XD

YES, I loved her cdl09/10 hair!! I'd really hoped she'd keep that hair for the rest of 2010, and then she cut it again, and I had a big sad.

Andrenekoi · #19 27th October 2011, 01:39 PM

^Or should we stop all the kissing in public cuz in Japan is rude to kiss someone in public?
