Ayu ~Anything Goes XIX~

[Andrenekoi]

@PedroNekoi
They also sang Desire and it was quite amazing xD

@ayu-michan It's probably about society silencing people and how we are expected to keep our thoughts to ourselves if they don't fit society expectations.

That channel is posting a ton of rare stuff. I wonder what their source is.
I have some videos of Ayu before her Avex debut like the idol videos as well. One day I want to upload all my Ayu stuff for here.
Isn't that channel the same person who had a website filled with HD and subtitled Ayu videos of all kind but the site no longer works?
Eventually the Youtube copyright army will take down that channel.

I watched the beginning of AT08 today and during ReBIRTH or The judgement day I noticed someone in the audience was " cosplaying " Ayu's style in Kanariya, with the rhinestones all over her face haha I hope this girl is happy Ayu finally performed this song

I never heard of BRILLANTE, Mad World, and Endless sorrow being a trilogy.

I'm spending a lot of time in that YouTube channel with old videos of Ayu. They have so many performances I've never seen, and some old knows that are actually in HD!

One of these days, I might post my BRILLANTE interpretation, just maybe.

So funny watching these old lives! Never saw this before and I always love finding lives that Ayu messes the lyrics hahah This is one during GAME. Also loving to watch Peco & Princess together again <3

This is amazing, I'm hoping there's more like this making of from her calendars, specially that one time in Time Square.

Aw, seeing Ayu do her body double's hair was so cute! Also, it looks like there were some costumes that ended up not being included in the photobook itself?

has uraayu ever been subtitled?

[pedronekoi]

Not the channe uploaded a million CMs!

I really miss all her tie-ins, and her crazy music release schedule. It was always so exciting to hear snippets of songs before they were released, and then to see how they changed between the time the commercial was released and the actual song was released.

EDIT:
All of these videos have got me feeling some kind of nostalgia (Ayu, take a hint for your 20th Anniversary promo). It's really amazing how much she's the same, and how much she's different. I've been a fan since ~ the Kanariya single, and I've had periods of time when I was more or less into what she was releasing, but man watching some of this stuff...it's amazing how time has passed. Talkin' 2 Myself is going to be 10 years old this year. And all of this really got me thinking...it's true that the average Japanese person doesn't know her current music, or that she's even really still actively releasing music -- but, at the same time, she's still one of the top selling solo female acts, so it's not like she's completely obscure. And thinking back, people have really been counting her out for YEARS (pretty much from Rainbow onwards), and she's still here and still doing better than most of her peers. So as much as I would love to see a massive comeback, or see her given more respect/less focus on her personal situations, it really is amazing how consistently successful she's been over the years, and sometimes I don't think any of us give her enough credit for that.
