There is him and Ayu in 1 photo + super short video of which you won't get much. But maybe sb can provide longer clip.

Here is the same clip but without the earthquakey filming and shouting.
(Starts from 00:45)
Armin Van Buuren "Fine Without You (Sied van Riel remix)" feat. Jennifer Rene, live at The Forum (LA) 2014/05/09
http://youtu.be/05T8aRoUa6o

Is this really the part of the concert where Armin played their new track?
I'd say no, but I can't be sure.

Edit: Compare the same performance given in Vancouver some days before and see what you make of it (starts at 01:40)

Ayu tweeted this photo from within The Forum

Not sure if this was when her song came on or not.

[toniayu]

I know I am late, but I haven't had time to visit the forum and Ayu's new info. I am really happy to have a new album!!!! I am really curious to see how it touns out to be...she's working with really different composers this time

[adantatu2]

Honestly, I think shoes are really important in photoshoots, but I can't even watch them on the concerts because i'm always watching ayu's face or the army of dancers.

And if someone doesn't like their shoes, I think is OK.

But it's my bad for commenting in a discussion I don't even really care about. I had it coming.

Not trying to point fingers at anyone in particular, but I find it funny how people can make disrespectful comments about ayu in the form of an opinion yet if we disrespect each other in forms of opinion, there's a problem.

People can say what they want, I've learned to let the so-called-fans hate as much as they please. But don't ask expect people to respect your opinion when you make disrespectful comments about someone we all claim to love and admire. They know it creates a hostile environment when they trash an artist on their fan forum and then turn around and act like the victim when they get called out for it.

On topic, I'm so pissed that person is screaming in the middle of the song!!!! But it sounds amazing from what little I can make out lol. Looking forward to it

But, what is supposed to be discussed on a forum about a singer? We can't always love everything about a singer. I don't see anyone calling Ayu an old bag of dirty, ugly and used up socks or anything else. I feel like saying things like, "I don't like this magazine shoot" are perfectly valid things to talk about. As long as people aren't purposely baiting each other, what's the issue?

I agree with you, but just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. I have no problem with someone not liking ayu's music, shoes, photoshoots, costumes, etc.

But when people express opinions in a disrespectful manner it's really immature and it doesn't create an environment for discussion. Like I said, I'm not going to point fingers but I saw several comments from one user the other day that were tasteless and provoking. And to be honest, if people really have such ugly opinions about ayu they shouldn't be here. Coming here and making ugly comments is not only disrespectful to ayu but the fans as well.

My mistake then. If there is someone making rude comments about Ayu is a baiting way then yes, I agree that it seems pointless that they even bother to post. There is enough negativity in the world, why bother to create more? On the internet, no less. But, really, it just speaks volumes about that person. Happy people don't go around making others unhappy. Really, you just have to feel bad for them.

People don't have to be rude, period.
Sometimes it's difficult to judge, because one is being just too sarcastic without meaning bad. Being sassy is not being evil, but since there are so many people here that come from such different environments, it'd be impossible to discuss something if we're not being careful!

Anywaaaaaay, I listen to the preview and wonder how Ayu is gonna put all the songs under one roof. It seems it's gonna be an album with a lot of variety.
I mean, Pray, then Hello new me, then this. I wonder what kind of concept she will give us to tie everything together.

[RadnasticReggie]

Really over Ayu 'feeling the love'

[freedreamer]

i just hope the song has proper ups n downs..and its not just one hot electronic mess. *still dreaming of Sparkle 2.0*

[terra]

Seeing that she's working with DJs and listening to the Armin Van Buuren song, I wonder if she'll do an electronic thematic tour? I wish she would with Sparkle, WHATEVER and many awesome remixes that she has it'll be fantastic!

[Zeke.]

Ugh I should've known it was fine without you! That's my favorite armin song, although I don't like that remix. The original is amazing though!!

Last performance of WHATEVER is at CDL 04-05, right?

[terra]

^I recall so, I missed the song so much, she can performed it live with contemporary remix and arrangements, it'll be so kickass

No thanks, original instrumentation + vocals is what makes it so powerful. Nothing can match her vocal performance of 04-05 for that song. :s

Omg if ayu performed WHATEVER.....I would be quite happy. I would love Connected live personally too

There was already a live for Connected on CDL 2001-2002 but yeah she definitely should perform it again!

[mizuki-7]
