Most opera singers aren't as amazing as some old legends... nowadays they are casted by appearance too... so it is not necessarily better or more amazing than something/anything. Even opera singers can suck xD besides, I think it also requires a lot of technique and skill being able to sing as a (professional) pop singer and most important, being able to make the audience care about the lyric/emotion.

Gurl I love your comment. but even if it is not 'your thing', it is hard to understand opera/ballet. Most operas are Italian, French or German language and the aria structure has been changed a lot during centuries because composers eventually agreed that the story should be more important than virtuosity. And even though it is very 'civil' opera buffa -style (read comedy or easy interpretation of the melodrama) nowadays people need to read themselves into the translated story background to understand the meaning of it. That's the main dealbreaker too, because it is the public that must empathize with the character and not really 'connect themselves' with the song as people want to nowadays. Remember that opera guy singing in the Pizza Ristorante commercial? Well, people love the voice/song, even though he is in the play an asshole and actually sings how easy women are. I do not know how many people know that but... I think nobody has honestly cared about it haha.

And ballet... well, if you do not know the story or meaning of their mimicks, it will only be good dancing. I am no expert, but still... I could understand that even though the art is very respectable, it could be hard to click with it. It is soooo different than we see and hear nowadays.

Btw, sorry if I sound like a miss know-it-all in defence I can say that despite I study theatre design I absolutely hate to listen to opera :p Except for La Traviata

Yess finally something interesting to look forward to!

[Anna.L]

this cover looks like A One rest pictures

[Delicious n Bold]

I hope the imagery isn't all "A One Recycled"

[BlackSilence]

that cover is totally an off shoot from A ONE xD Lazy...

Who did the text though? o_O or is that one just for the announcement?

Oh and Luna, you totally got my comment in a completely odd and "old" (?) way....xD never mind it!

[pimenta]

I love the cover, it's from A ONE's shoot, but it's beautiful.

[happiholic★]

I'm just here for the RedOne song, tbh. I dunno if he's even still relevant, but I'm always interested in Ayu's work with Westerners.










Except for Timmy.

[DonkeyKongRemix]

Huh.

The photo's pretty.

XD

untitled part 3, BALLAD part 2 for a title now HAHA

[tsumekaze_]

Ayu keeps her work files on Icloud?

WHERE ARE DEM HACKERS WHEN YOU NEED THEM who cares about nude leaks of hollywood vips, WE WANT UNRELEASED LYRICS AND DEMOS

[Andrenekoi]

^Yeah, and the demos get leaked, for that reason they are never released as full songs and people starts complaining that Ayu didn't release those...

[ayumisrael]

Lol poor ayu, every few albums she has no luck with keeping a song's lyrics, be it the iPhone in the toilet or iCloud. I really hope she can get it back!!

[Surreal17]

The toilet one was for Colours or Loveagain?

What demo's exist that were leaked that in turn didn't get released as full songs?? I've never heard of such a thing for Ayu but if there are some I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR THEM!

[!Lawi!]

^it was only a joke this time to answer the previous post, but there are probably dozens of demos Ayu has somewhere waiting to be released! Wasn't Gloria that she said she had had for years before finally recording it?
