It is a superb performance

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[TeamAyu2004]

thanks for the link!!

She sounded great in that performance of Close to you. Such an underrated ballad from RAINBOW. It's one of her better compositions too.

[TeamAyu2004]

that was my christmas jam last year...
wait. I still got some time to play it this year!!
::goes to play close to you:::

I'm sorry that GACKT cover of SEASONS is awful. His voice is unbearable to listen to. The only song of his I will ever enjoy is Koakuma Heaven and that's because it's heavily auto-tuned.

Close to you is such a great song; too bad not many people listen/know of it lol

I feel the same about it. The arrangement is good, but when he started singing.. ew..

lol the odd thing tho, the other covers he's done on the same night sounded awesome, his vocals are obviously not made for THAT song, but hey, i appreaciate he did this.lol I guess when a dude tries to cover a song fy a female artist it's more weird than when it's done the other way around.
I personally love his vocals, of course as any other artist he has bad days too...but i guess it's also to each their own.

@tsumekaze_ I did tweet her the video.

No she hasn't, maybe because i didn't say what the video was about lol my bad...

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I LOVE Close to you.

I was re-watching A Concert Tour 2000 just now, but well... can anyone provide me translations of what Ayu said during transitions of each songs? She surely said a lot of things during that first tour, I'm curious to know.

As I have nothing to do I'll try and see if I can understand something XD

I loved the arrangement for SEASONS in that cover, the voice is, well, awful. But I liked it in general. Has anyone linked this to ayu on twitter?

Thank you very much. So poetic~

[AyuWorld]

just saw that Ayu liked Fashion Police page and guess what, LA paella on her fb page!!! lolol

[TeamAyu2004]

Was reading over the countdown set list and hope its real...
it looks like an amazing concert! CANT wait!!

[kendelle]

I don't know why but I'm really feeling Ayu these last few weeks. I've put the CDL setlist into a playlist and was watching the performances from this week. I almost teared up...I haven't felt this strongly about Ayu since FIVE until this month...

[orbitalaspect]

Ayu came back at a good time in my life. I met my own "Manny", you could say, a few months after FIVE was released and we parted ways this past summer. We stopped talking completely just before Christmas.

[Refix]

^if she can wrote something delicately beautifully meaningful like this, why can't she wrote it as a lyrics? These days Ayu's lyrics mostly talk about love, pain, love, pain. I'm so done with that.

[rainbow_smile]

I just had a dream about going to today's CDL *___* I was not far from the stage, but somehow ended in the first row. Ayu interacted with the audience quite a lot, and she even came down and talked to some people in the front row, it was so lovely T^T But she gained some weight XDD

My dreams are so weird tbh
