Ayu singing "Life" on Music Station - Page 8

I'm really surprised so many people are complaining about how Ayu looks in this performance. I think she looks great! She looks very simple and natural. I am glad she chose to sing Life because it's one my favorite songs, yet very underrated.

it'll be weird if at the time like this, ayu would dress the extravagant style like she always does~
she was doing the right thing =))
love her even more..
it's her music and performance are much more important than just cool style ~

^ But is there another stream possibly? My cpu can't take downloads atm, it's super slow.

Her vocals were pretty terrible throughout the whole performance but omg that hair <3 loving it <3 I am not a huuuuge fan of "Life" since I find the melody boring, but I bet she put a lot of thought into what to sing and she decided to go with something lyrically (is that even a word? o.O) strong.

Why do everything sound so complicated when I'm trying to explain something... -.-

jbrat2219: Not going to apologize over my personal opinion.

^ Terrible? Really? lol.

WoWee · #**148** 28th March 2011, 06:33 PM

She did an amazing job!

I don't know why so many people are complaining about this performance. In my opinion, I think this has been one of the best Ayu performances in a long time. The amount of emotion she put into it was really touching, and I cried TT.TT She was on key and her vibrato was softer and more controlled than her recent performances. She was not screaming as hard, and it looked as though we were seeing the old ayumi again. Her costume was very touching too - simple, barefeet - she looked so pure and angelic. How can people possibly complain about that?

Probably because its an emotional time and the lyrics fit this time in Japan perfectly. So go figure, Ayu is emotional while singing.

I just watched the performance and it brought me to tears! I loved her vocals and the way she looked! Life is one of those songs that I hardly listen to , but now its' become one of my favourites.

SURREAL__RAINBOW · #**154** 29th March 2011, 03:21 AM

I bet it was a great surprise to all the fans in Japan when they found out she was performing this song

I actually watched it just once :/ I need to watch it again lol

ストロボ・EdGE · #**155** 29th March 2011, 04:57 AM

So much wig talk, lol. I love how it looks like peak-Ayu-era hair. Hope she promotes whatever is next with this look.

foxhana · #**156** 29th March 2011, 05:57 PM

This seems to be the excuse whenever she has an off-day or there are a few people saying she didn't sound that great.
I don't think she looked particularly more emotional than she's been at other times when she's sounded a lot better.

That being said, for me at least, she sounded ok in the beginning, but the second the rock-beats came it was downhill. Not as bad as the infamous S/S-performances of '09, but not that far from it.

^It's also known to every Ayu fan that her vocals aren't always great. She isn't known for her amazing vocals. And I'm not using that as an excuse either, but she did seem pretty emotional during this performance.
