Good. I hope it means she was allowed to do several takes and the result will be pleasing.

She hasn't performed on TV in quiet a while and I think the last time she's sang something new was in 2016 (FLOWER@MSta), so it better be perfect!

She was on MUSIC FAIR a couple of years ago around when TROUBLE came out.

Indeed! She did aeternal. She was alright, but sounded husky.

[truehappiness]

She also did FNS alongside CDTV in 2018 I believe. Then in 2019 there was the single FNS performance but then she was also pregnant for most of 2019 so that is probably why she avoided lives as soon as she was done with the tour then with her first a-nation no-show.

I wonder why she hasn't really done MUSIC STATION recently though, she seemed to be on at least for the specials in 2016/2017.

[Diego-kun]

Her TV performances from 2018/2019 had pretty decent vocals, much better than Flower @MSte (which was horrible) and æternal @MF where she struggled a little.

IIRC, she was praised for last year's FNS Summer performance by netizens although haters said she was trying to copy Namie and Ariana Grande because of her looks.

[Chris85]

Do you think she will be able to sing the chorus in full without making a pause and letting the background vocals start some lines in Dreamed a Dream like she does in Last Angel?

[Evolution7/4]

Lol she def was giving Ariana in that performance but I don't think that was a bad thing! Ayu was feeling herself in that long pony!

She is looking awesome!

lol why did she say Dreamed A Dream as if she's the lady host from Music Station? We know she can speak English.

She's speaking to a Japanese audience and that pronunciation is more common (and sometimes more understandable) to their ears.

I know that because I'm brazilian and it's strange when we are watching a TV program and someone mention a show or a song with an English title with the original pronunciation, not "our" pronunciation for those words. Sometimes the "right" is not the "best".

I understand but I don't believe she's done it that way in the past..then again Dreamed A Dreamed is prob quite a wordy/awkward title. Ayu's song titles are usually less syllables.

If I remember right, during the promotion of Bold & Delicious, she pronounced the title as "Borudo endo derisshiasu" or something.

It's normal, just like she says Toraburu instead of Trouble.

[junshen]

Ayu will perform 10pm onward Japan Time

[truehappiness]

Ayu has always said stuff in the Japanese-ish way unless she was also talking to fluent speakers like say, Timmy.
