[News] a-nation 2017 stadium fes

[pedronekoi]

Glad to read all good comments about this a-nation. It's been a while since everyone here was positive about Ayu...

All the dancers posted about the a-nation on their Instagram. I think it's so amazing because you can see these people are hardworkers and seem to care about Ayu and their relationship.

Much improved vocals at A-Nation! Yay! This is the best she has sounded on live TV in quite some time.

I did notice that she used a backing track quite a bit more often than usual, but hey, it really helped and is what she did in the earlier years of her career so I think it's just fine.

Do people really care so much about "recycled" costumes? Who cares? It's only clothes. She could very well wear a plain white shirt and denim shorts and I'd be happy.
Someone else said it best: Why make a costume for one performance? The first chapter of the AT is over, so why not use the costumes again? They likely won't appear in the other chapters anyway. It seems people seem to forget that she's long past her peak and I guess she doesn't have the budget she used to have in the past.

Nice performances. ^^ talkin' 2 myself seems a little random without another rock song, though. haha Especially since every other song is like "SUMMER!". But I think she has her reasons. ^_-

So like with any recent live its a mix of,
*She sounds great
*She sounds horrible
*She should retire
*outfit drama
*love her voice
*hate her voice

The outfit thing does make sense though. She spends a bit of money for basically a one time outfit. Why not use the ones she likes again. It could also be a hint that she is focusing her budget on something more special down the track

Oh my Gods, compared to her recent performances, her voice here was amazing! I hope that's not what she ~sacrifices~ for the second chapter of her tour...

I was thinking about other songs that would suit the summer vibes better and I think NEXT LEVEL would be amazing for an a-nation intro.

[voltron]

^ I love next level, but I can't really see it as an opening because it's so...chill?

Glitter is probably the most obvious choice for a summer song that is missing from the list. Or Independent. And while nobody is probably begging for another Evolution performance, I think Evolution with the taiyo drum would actually really invoke a sense of summer, and festivals, etc.

[truehappiness]

NEXT LEVEL would be a good lead in during the MC section.

[Andrenekoi]

Talkin 2 myself pretty much sums the theme she is going for during this era, that and Fly High were present since the CDL and I don't think they will be axed until the whole "just the beginning" thing ends.

We might see people complain that they could see her armpit hair in live / tour in the future.

[adrtwb]

this is surprisingly good, her vocals were great! this is hard to come by!

"People's" complaints in regards to just the beginning are legit. her voice wasn't that good is not like anyone made anything up. Now if anyone complains about a nation now that's over the top.

[truehappiness]

Well, as far as people who went there and saw her, they did enjoy her voice but people who went to the same date that got filmed said that her vocals were not as good as previous performances.

That's precisely why I don't come to this site as much anymore (almost at all). That and the period when I kept myself away from anything Ayu. And that I don't want to spend too much time on forums. ^^; Well, you get it.

That would've been great actually. ^^ I would've liked another ballad and NEXT LEVEL would be good enough. And the theme of reaching another stage fits with the Just the beginning theme, I guess.
I don't know why I think so, but Sunset would've been nice. Someone mentioned independent (of course lol), that'd be great as well. Or AUDIENCE. ^^
Only goes to show that she has A LOT of songs to choose from. ^^a

On a sidenote, I kind of want to upvote comments. ^^; I guess I've spent too much time on youtube. lol

Finally got time to watch it and I loved it!!! she was SO good, her vocals were on point during the whole show, she looked stunning and the most important to me, she was SO HAPPY, like her smile just took my breath away, I really enjoyed this so much!
