She went 8 7 6 5 4 3 -CUT She did sound great for most of song 4 u though. And I really like this arrangement of evolution

[Zeke.]

The subject matter of the songs since hitting 2020 are very appropriate.

Side note: those “whoa whoah yeah yeah yeeeeahs” that are only introduced in the last repetition of Mirrorcle Workds chorus we’re always my favorite and I had wished they’d appear all throughout the song. Now that she does that though, I hate it. It takes away from the climax and sounds super off.

I thought i'd be the only one to be mad at such tiny details but yes, i hate it too!

Her voice is really heaven though

No way, Mirrorcle World!

[freedreamer]

Im really REALLY loving her voice. its not the deeper/manlier tone she used to be doing XD

[AJFmzk]

When Judgment day started playing I thought she would open the show with Mirrorcle World

[//ABEST]

Mirrorcle World ��������������

[Chris85]

Do you think she finally took some vocal lessons or her voice is so tired that she can't scream anymore? Either way I'm super happy and surprised.

Same. That intro to love song was great! Now that she's not screaming everything her natural voice is coming through more. If you're more gentle when singing you have less chance of pushing too much air and overshooting the notes or running out of air and then undershooting

1000x this, even though I wasn't thrilled with some of it.

Then she lost control from time to time unfortunately and was back to her old tricks.

From time time to time, yes she did lose it. But overall it wasn't terrible, and not bad for acapella performance. Could it be better? Of course. But for current Ayu standards it was pretty good. She completely lost control of her voice during the first half of WARNING and it was horrifically cringey
