I loved it! Singing it a capella was a cool idea and her voice sounded great. Her outfit was really cute too. Did she say anything new about the album? I could only tell she was talking about a-nation and the upcoming tour.

I think they didn't really say anything about it? There was also some weird talk about Aliens and IG or something as well as Timmy randomly screaming ASIAN BITCHES into the mic, lol. Then more a-nation promo.

Ayu and team did such an amazing job on the acapella version of the new ballad. I got goosebumps just listening to it. She also looked absolutely lovely and it was fun to see her interact with her team in a laid back setting. They seem like a fun group of people.

The LINE LIVE was gorgeous! Why can't she be like this when she's on stage or on TV??? Just natural. When she's performing she's really becoming so fake. I think this kind of image would probably stop people in Japan giving her such a hard time.

Woww, the acapella version of The way I am (love the title btw) is amazing! I'm really impressed with her vocals. I would be happy if she only sang her songs acapella live the rest of her career. It really seems singing this way works best for her voice.

I've always preferred her like this as well. She's a natural performer, has an amazing stage presence and does not need huge props, flashy outfits or a million dancers to be entertaining to me. Another benefit of her being more natural and toning things down is that her vocals seem to be much better! It just seems her preference (or maybe her Japanese fans preference) is for things to be flashy the majority of the time.

yes I think "elaborate" costumes and make up are a things of the past now people want to see more casual look from an artist !

Btw the young woman is incredibly cute and beautiful lol

Even if Ayu goes over the top sometimes, a heavier make up is a must at a stage in a big venue because, unlike must of us, the audience will be seeing her from far away with strong lights over her. Having a everyday make up males her expressions less dicernable from afar.

Now, about props and dancers, her converts had being extravagant and theatrical since the Concert Tour dates, and it's most likely the kind of show she likes doing the most.

From the photos it does look like her hall concerts are far simpler, and it doesn't really get simpler than the TA Tours that are held at very small venues.

^She performed a song saying openly she won't retire.

Maybe she should tattoo "not retiring yet" on her forehead.

It’s the same few people coming up with these retirement theories over and over.

Everything Ayu says and does is a secret sign of her retirement. Even when she says she will not retire.
