Who is the best live?

Alright now it's time to vote on which artist you think is the best live. I searched for a thread on this and couldn't find one, but if there was one, I'm sorry!!

Options are:

(1) Ayumi Hamasaki
(2) Namie Amuro
(3) Utada Hikaru
(4) Koda Kumi
(5) BOA
(6) Alan
(7) Other

The poll is for overall best live.

However, I also would like to know who are your favorite live performers and how would you characterize them?

If you choose Other, please specify!

For example, my overall live is Utada.

However my favorite live performers are: Utada, Ayumi, and Namie.

I would characterize each as the following:

Utada: Voice
Namie: Dancing
Ayumi: Theatrics

(Obviously you can be more descriptive...lol)

Please share!

Hikki! But Kuu & Namie are pretty solid too...although sometimes I can't tell if Namie is singing live lol. Ayu has her ups & downs when it comes to her lives....

Ayu... not the best voice over there, but one of the biggest stage presences I ever saw on a perform (not only on Jpop, but in any music genre), an amazing stage control, and the capacity of putting lots of passion and emotion and power even on the simplest performance...

Yup...Ayu is the most charismatic on the Jpop scene. Koda, Namie and BoA are lucky backing dancers that got record deals.

The best performer is Ayu for me.
Not just because she's my favorite singer out there lol but because I agree with this

Kuu for me.
She has an amazing stage presence and a lot of charisma. She fills out the whole stage without any problems. And what I personally adore is that you can always tell that she's so happy to be on stage and to sing and perform, it is her dream came true.
Also her vocals are normally great, though sometimes on fast songs they're weaker due to dancing (and often due to enjoying herself and having fun, lol). On ballads and slower songs she shines.
Plus she can dance pretty nicely and shows it in every tour at least once.

Her tours are also well done with one specific theme they present from before the hall till the end when you leave. Always something to looking forward to.

Her live performances are what made me such a big fan of her.
Her voice, her charisma - the package is just amazing!

I love Ayu to death, but Kuu is a better performer and has more stage presence imo. And I agree with Corvina, you can tell she absolutely LOVES what she does. XD

I would have voted for alan because she's so amazing live, but I guess overall, I enjoy Ayu's concerts the most. They're just so fun and the energy is great!

But if the question was asking who is the best live vocally, then definitely alan

other being Arashi, of course! they are so fun & energetic on stage in their tours. there's also a good amount of audience interaction, as well. and i also enjoy the theme of their performances & their outfits, setting, etc...

but after Arashi, i'd have to to choose koda kumi. she also has amazing tours and great concepts! and then i'd say namie amuro & ayumi. but each artist has their own way of performing, so overall, i'd say their all great in their own ways.

Koda is my favorite live entertainer. She has some bad vocal moments, but also has some really amazing ones. She has great stage presence and her dances are great. She also has a really good blend of theatrics and props.

I really like watching Namie too, but I kinda feel like Im watching more of a dance group than one person. I really love her ballads though, and her vocals are usually decent enough to be pleasant.

Ayu is an amazing performer because of her stage presence. You really feel like youre watching and a part of something magical, but her vocals are exceptionally weak, and sometimes her themes and props are like wtf.

Hikki is a great entertainer because her music is just so spectacular and unique, and hikki matches that. Her concerts are rollercoasters of soothing moments, fun dance tracks, and her just rocking out. You dont even miss big props or anything.

Alan is one of the most amazing vocalists, and she always reduces me to tears, but I cant stay awake through one of her concerts to save my life...I think it will get better as she releases more.

Boa is really great because her vocals and dancing are great...but I just usually dont feel the same stage presence from her as from ayu or koda.


BENI is another one of my favs. Ive never seen someone besides maybe alan, have better vocals throughout an entire show, its so intoxicating. I just wish she had more props and dancing, but...sometimes I dont even care lol

Well...it depends on what you're looking for in a live concert. Are you more interested in a big and entertaining show or do you care more about the voice of the artist on stage?

I voted for alan, because her voice is just AWESOME live! It's true that she is not an entertainer like Ayu, Namie and Kumi, but for me the voice is most important and that's why I picked alan.

But I love Onitsuka Chihiro as much as I love alan, because her voice is just as great!!

Koda Kumi, hands down. Every concert is different from the previous ones which is why she's the best.

Theatrics: Ayu
Dancing: Namie
Voice: MISIA

I ended up choosing MISIA because even though I enjoy Ayu's concerts so much (or used to until they became so much of the same), she just can't sing that well. At least, she can't sing well nowadays. MISIA's voice just gives me chills every time she sings live. She has the most amazing tone, and some of the notes she hits are just unbelievable. Namie's my favorite artist, but her concerts are pretty much stagnant at being above average. She has a fantastic voice, but it's mostly just a lot of dancing, with some cool set-pieces here and there.

I found myself enjoying Kuu more than Ayu, tbh. Kuu just has more energy. Plus, the fan crying on her song SHAKE IT in her TRICK tour = best moment I've ever seen live
