ARENA TOUR 2016 A ～MADE IN JAPAN～ [IV]

[Next_Level29]

im so shocked, positively, she isnt screaming at all and she kept all long vocals shorter than usual so her voice doesnt crack. amazing !

[Uknow!]

I loved the concert! Her vocals were good and Chapter of nothing was stunning.
Her screams at the end of Survivor ♥

This show was in yoyogi but the DVD one will be in Osaka?

[attractive nausea]

^ Yeah her "wooooo yeah yeah" at the end of Survivor makes it better than the studio version haha

Someone said here that recording material wasn't seen during Osaka dates so it's likely that the DVD will be the Yoyogi one.

[Heavenly]

I have to admit that the secnd part of the show (from BRILLANTE to the end), is almost flawless. I particularly appreciated evolution's performance, it reminds me AT07, even in better.

They just edited her vocals the way they used to do it for years before A Best Live, not using auto-tune, but using different software.

Apparently I'm watching different show, because she's screaming a lot. Can you really state that she's not screaming in, let's say, BRILLANTE? The parts when she's singing calmly are beautiful though.

Still, there can't be much editing since it sounds almost like she sounded live. Her vocals were in reality a little bit better, at least in Osaka.

I dislike how she sings WARNING somehow. It sounds so off-key. Either she sang it better in Osaka or I was deaf during this part

I can understand if you dislike the way she sings it, but how come it sounds off-key? It's completely processed and pitch-corrected.

No. Only live broadcasts are not edited, because it's impossible, right? All other broadcasts - first, second, ect are always edited.

BRILLIANTE was a lot worse in Osaka ^^ She was in control here xD

Endless sorrow is still pretty much all yelling during the chorus. She still sounded very good over-all.

Lol. Maybe that's why I don't like it.

Microphones can have autotune so...

I know that, but it's Ayu shows we're talking about, she doesn't use live auto-tune...
Live auto-tuning has side effects and is very obvious.

Ok ^^

[ayumint]

I love the way she sings in Survivor

BTW I was shocked when I bought Aikawa Nanase's concert DVDs and the vocals were completely untouched. I wonder what other artists don't use pitch-correction for their releases. I got so used to fixed vocals because of Ayu :-)

[Yannetakizawa]

Oh man! It was amazing

To be honest I prefer it when the vocals are completely untouched. I'd rather listen to someone singing with their real voice and not hitting a few notes correctly than having to listen to a voice that sounds robotic.

I think there are times that they touch the vocals even when it's not necessary. I'm used to, so it doesn't bother me. The only one I couldn't stand was Premium Showcase. I thought my blu-ray was damaged cause it sounded horrible and robotic.

[js_surrealism]

I have to say she actually sounds pretty good in this tour if she's actually singing live!

My favourite performance was probably Mad world - the choreography was actually pretty interesting and fit the song.

FLOWER was such a wasted opportunity. Her sitting there not moving with that gigantic space really sucked all the energy out of the song even though she was vocally on point.

[Aderianu]

Maybe FLOWER performance symbolizes that she's stuck and can't move forward only on her own, need someone behind

[Evan Odinson]

I LOVED it, it was amazing for me, her vocals were on point, her high notes were really well controled, and she looked more confortable than in other shows, it was pretty cool, I really liked it.
