A longer tour? How much longer can her tours get?!

AT09 had 36 dates right? I hope if she does do more dates, she at least goes outside of Asia.

AyUta · #**363** 27th December 2009, 01:18 AM

She better take good care of herself.

Jwiz · #**364** 27th December 2009, 04:37 AM

When will she realise that having long(est) tour ain't gonna help her career; it's way to reach out for her fans but the consquences like fatigue and deteriotation of voice call for much greater concern in the long run.

More tv performances would be pausible, but I do hope she would focus more on her vocals (because it's fans do not wish to see her suffer and struggle on live performances), take a break, do a reality check on her current career and develop more creativity juice for her future career

maybe she wanna ruin her vocal (test her limit) and damage her other ear. sorry ayu...but it's not gonna help. except it's a world tour, maybe will do

Yeah I'm sure that's it. Who wouldn't want to not hear anything for the rest of their life and not be able to continue doing what they love doing the most? Sounds great.

It's not like she hasn't already done it, why not just put the final nail in her voice's career :3

Well, its not like he is wrong exactly. No matter how you look at it, continuing to tour so much isn't actually going to help your voice or hearing.

But I doubt her intentions are to lose the hearing she has left. She most likely just wants to perform, make $$$, and see her fans. Money being a big one.

There are singers who performs a lot more than Ayumi (here in Brazil is normal for popular acts to have concerts 5 days a week the whole year on different cities) for longer than Ayu is on business and they are fine...

IMO the problem with her voice is not the amount of live performances, is the bad use of it... if Ayu sings on the right way when touring, something she knows how to do, but never really minded, there will be no problem with 2 concerts a week for some months...

SunshineSlayer · #**371** 27th December 2009, 06:43 AM

^ Yeah, that I agree with. When you look at Hello Project as just one example, they perform nearly year round often times 2 shows a day, sometimes three; so by comparison Ayu's live schedule is really tame. I was referring more to her hearing though - when you've got only one ear left, its really not a good idea to continually pound it with a live band.

Well, the ear monitors probably control the intensity, so she wont have problems with any sounds from the live band...

They thing is, even if there are performers who go everynight singing, if one day they use it wrong, and start to damage their voice, and dont rest for a while, it will continue getting worse...

Andrenekoi · #**373** 27th December 2009, 07:01 AM

^Well, I'm pretty sure there are ways to prevent the sound band from killing her good ear^^

For sure, I'm not a big fan of theatrical performances...

SunshineSlayer · #**375** 27th December 2009, 07:31 AM

Just saw the MS Super Live finally. I had been under the impression from the posts here that she was the last performer, but actually she wasn't. It was Kuwata Keisuke. Ayu's a really big fan of his though, so I doubt she minded much.

It seems she did concentrate more on her vocals this time compared to Best Artist. You We're though I thought was definitely better at CDTV and Rule was fun. Probably one of her better TV performances in the last 2 years. For the outfits: Her first dress makes her look like an extravagant pilgram.

I like the Rule one a lot more than her others costumes for that song.

Actually I have read that in ear monitors can cause as much, if not more ear damage than usual due to the fact that they are right inside the ear and therefore closer to the ear drum. I'm sure it varies on an individual basis though. Also, by default the sound should be pretty loud in them otherwise in a live environment they aren't going to be able to hear themselves or the band. Add to that rehearsals and everything - its really not a safe environment for ones hearing no matter what. If it was, you wouldn't see so many singers and band members winding up with hearing damage.

I really hope Ayu begins to work hard with her voice again with a vocal trainer. Like I said with the MSSL performance, I watched Ayaka before and gosh, the difference between the vocal techniques is heavy, even I could recognize that and I don't know that much from singing.
I don't want Ayu to destroy her voice even further.

So having the "longest tour ever" isn't good news for me. Ayu loves singing and being on stage, so she should take care of her voice, cause it's her voice that she needs to keep living her dream.

Diego-kun · #**378** 27th December 2009, 12:36 PM

Don't know if it has been mentioned before but Ayu will open Kohaku Uta Gassen again this year! What do you think about this? I don't like it because the first performance is always the one with a lower rating

**ayumisrael** · #**379** 27th December 2009, 12:40 PM

Well she has no other option, she has to arrive at the Arena for her own full live!

But EXILE will perform right after her so there might be high rating this time, unless if people will mistakenly miss EXILE and think they will be in the middle for some reason. xD

That's right, ear monitors only help if they keep all the noise from the outside away AND are more or less quiet.
