[News] Ayu to perform at Music Station 19 September

[EndOfTheWorld]

As much as I love those songs, I can't help but roll my eyes.
I would say those 3 are exactly what I didn't want. She has other famous, iconic songs to pull from.
But maybe she had limited input and could only choose songs they wanted, or would create the most interest.
Still excited though.

What a shocker

Well, I just hope she doesn't use MIJ's version of evolution, but she probably will, so, um, whatever...

I actually feel like that could be a great idea.

And I'm excited for M!

No, these 3 songs are her biggest hits and she is associated with them in general public's mind. So it's a perfect choice for the theme of this program.

Was anyone really expecting anything different? I mean, it's the theme of the show.

Hopefully they are not performed in a medley.

[Refix]

She might gonna wear a huge white wedding gown for M, then at the start of Season she reveal what underneath that gown which is a summer dress with flowy long skirt like she wore on TA tour, that blue latex cut out dress. Then she take off that flowy skirt to reveal a short skirt or pants pair with high knee latex boots for evolution.
Yep, pretty much like that if she gonna sing those songs non stop or medley.

I love you haha

[truehappiness]

I hope she puts a twist on them.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I can't

[Evan Odinson]

I really wanted Dearest this time but oh well, at least she's performing

[SayukiChoco]

I'm so tired of SEASONS, but good choice nevertheless. I'm excited for M and evolution though. Can't get enough of both songs.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Still, I am happy to see M there. The only song I am not fond of is SEASONS. I would have prefered Dearest, A Song For Xx or Free & Easy tbh.

[Next_Level29]

yesss for M! but 3 songs are amazing!!!! looking forward to it

[Aderianu]

glad to see M and evolution
I think would be great if she use new arrangements, but that's not gonna happened

I don't think they get to choose.

I think they do, as long as it is considered a big hit. Or at least have some say. For Arashi, there were certainly more iconic songs that could have been chosen (with the exception of A-RA-SHI of course) the other two were hits, but not ones that they are necessarily super known for.

So I suppose the argument could be made that Ayu could have gone for Voyage, Dearest, Appears etc - songs that were hits, but not the ones that she is most known for. Still though, 3 songs. I'm happy.

It's probably because the original song itself is iconic and would help to represent the 80s era on Music Station.

Oh, Surreal is definitely not in there. When she performed it for Heyx3s last episode or some kind of special a few years ago, the hosts commented afterwards that they thought she would have done a song that's more well known. lol.
