I realized that, for me more like shes using her nasal voice, Ayu tends to sound nasal when singing life sometimes. nasal plus cute voice.
She sounded like that only at the beginning of YW compared to MOON

I'm very excited to see the DVD/Bluray of this concert, since I'm not a huge fan of watching the TV broadcasts with the weird-ass angles and stuff, lol

same here, but my problem with TV live is the crappy audio, Ive seen the angle shoots from this BD fro certain songs, I prefer the TV better because in DVD/BD they always love to show more her dancers, and it became more annoying when Ayu is singing and they show the dancers on screen

It really hasn't been that long.
The rip will show up eventually.
I would do rips for here but I don't have the sufficent programs to do it on my laptop. I also don't have the money to get new Ayu DVDs brand new and at my house on release day.
Ripping and uploading entire DVDs and Blu-rays isn't too complicated no, but it does require a lot of time and the appropriate programs. Uploading the files online is slow as well. Plus compressing the files to be as small as possible so people don't complain.
We will get the rips soon enough.

I just wanted to say that this version of green is the best version of green. I absolutely loved it.

[junshen]

too bad i don't have blu-ray drive to rip the live

[JEWELian]

did anyone have any issues with tenso re- their boxset?

they did not email me saying it had arrived, so if i hadn't remembered and checked on wednesday i would've forgotten about it :/ now i'm not going to get it until next year.

I think support the artist buying the stuff and going to the lives is good for the business and for the artist of course. But the way the japanese artist release their music and video is too much for the overseas public, I mean 4 singles and 1 album by year (talking about the past) and add 2 live dvd's. Is too much stuff to buy and is expensive as hell, 50€ for one live DVD are a crazy price. When I started in jpop I was bought all the cd's I want knowing the price of a japanese album is more expensive comparing with the albums overseas, but because I can and I like the artist I was buying it. But I can't pay 50€ for a live dvd so if I can and people share it I can download the live dvd and watch it when I found a wifi.

And going off topic:
I'm listening the CDL Made In Tokyo CD and I noticed that her voice sound very edited. I'm not going to say robotic but I expected less vocal edition. Anyway is glad to listen the live cd's.

She is very far from the point where that can happen to her. And even if her sales did dip, I don't think they would let her go but would instead stick her on her own label to do her own thing.

If that's the case then music labels in Japan are a lot more tolerant than those in the US. I honestly have no idea what the music industry is like in Japan (from a business perspective).

[truehappiness]

It depends on the artists, I guess. For a lot of artists, they kind of just fade away with maybe one or two huge hits under their belts. Other times they have sudden dissolutions with a final release of all their material in one release and by then, their sales are pretty low. I think when it comes to current/former musical acts that are famous for a rather long time, as long as they want to release music, they will be able to regardless of sales.

I dont think this part is true. No company/artist would wana release music if their sales drops below a certain number. And for ayu who have a strong pride, I'm sure she have a ruler to measure on when she would finally stop before it gets worst.

[Toniayu123]

As she said If she wanted to quit she would have already done it. I personally think Ayu does what she does because she loves it and she loves her fans.
And Ayu is a living legend, she will not disappear that easily.

just watched both concerts and ugh, she needs to fire some dancers/performers. there's TOO MUCH going on while she sings. I want to see HER and they keep changing the camera to show dancers or a performer dressed like a fucking monkey, like??? enough already. that is not cute in any way, it's cringey.

edit: and this... omg... the worst thing I've seen in a while.


the cringy dancers' acting, her outfit, the cute voice... it just couldn't get any
worse

edit 2: WHY IS THIS FUCKING MONKEY BEHIND HER ON MARIONETTE? I JUST... WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE PERFORMANCE?


I've had it. OFICIALLY

It was the year of the monkey on a concert set around japanese culture.... Not that hard to get.

^Who knows lol, but I wouldn't get rid of him--if I recall correctly, he's one of the few performers I liked. Dressed in a silly way though.

Honestly, I've not warmed up to most of the dancers... maybe because the choreography is weak? I've seen the "waving arms side to side" and the" waving your arms dramatically either to another dancer or the crowd" dances a million times and they're never convincing. And maybe it's just me but they also never seem quite in sync. Still, Ayu seems to like them as friends too, so what can ya do?

cry. like I'm doing now.

I mean... is she trying to keep the attention off of her? what does this even means?



they're just climbing into each other and then flailing around spinning and doing nothing meaningful. so annoying. I've had a period when I didn't watch her concerts from PoM to PREMIUM SHOWCASE and I feel like I'm going into another phase like that. so tired of seeing her surrounded with lots of unnecessary dancers.

No clue. If it helps, I don't recall it being as obnoxious in the new CDL haha (I rather liked it actually!).

My favorite of her performances are very toned down--especially kanariya and this performance of Sorrows:
