ayumi hamasaki 『Just the beginning -20- TOUR 2017』~III~

[pedronekoi]

^WOW! Thanks! She sounds really good in Fly High and mnw! I'm imrepessed! But I'm confused about Virgin Road... she starts singing it in the main stage and then she goes to the center stage? I'm pretty sure the audio of walk in this video is from the CDL 2014-2015 not really the real footage.

Yup. She walks towards the center stage and starts off from the main stage. She stops and finishes Virgin Road then starts singing Walk on the center stage and walks back towards where she started before the last chorus of Walk if memory serves me well. The 2nd night she kind of started sobbing towards the ending of Walk so it sounded better during the 1st night.

I wonder if ayu's still taking vocal lessons??

[maxikot]

Honestly those clips from concerts are a really big surprise after last countdown. I remember reading opinions of people who attended the new year's concert that it was really bad, which we could also see on tv.
This is something completely opposite, pleasant to listen and making me want to be there ^^ I suppose she is in a good period ;-) I'm happy for her, even more considering recent health news.

i have been wondering is she lipsyncing or is her voice better since she has only couple of shows and then long break after next show

She did not lip sync any of the songs this year. If you paid close attention you could clearly hear the differences between both the nights.

As I said before, much like everyone else, ayu has both good and bad days, but more often than not she sounds great imo. I belive she was sick durinng the last CDL as she did not sound good at all. On the other hand there are always older songs she just can't sing properly with her current singing style.

[salina]

thanks for the prewiew clips

[EndOfTheWorld]

Those clips made me so happy. I love it when Ayu does well.
At some points she sounded quite impressive. Now I am feeling a bit impatient about the broadcast.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Unpopular opinion; I absolutely despise the outfits, adjustments and especially that horrible haircut. Her short haircuts during evolution and GUILTY have been looking sooo light, compared to this. It looks like a wig!
Also, whatsup with the costumes this year? Everything looks so unflattering and no... those chains do not look better; they make her look heavier. It is a shame that she comes from the nice looks she had during last 2 year's tours to this... have her stylists given up on her?

On the other hand, if it is not a track, I think her vocals sound not too bad this time.

^ I guess the cutting/fit is just suuuper unflattering to her body type.

[kaled kalil]

^ That, and also the angles. This one looks like she has a big belly.

The costumes are pretty bad, I only like the "school girl" one.

[dreamalley]

I agree that the outfits are really bad / look bad on her.

If feels like a step back, considering all the awesome outfits she had in many of her tours.

Don't know, she never looks good on such photos

[attractive nausea]

I hope they decided to go with cheap costumes for this tour because something bigger is coming later in 2018 and they're saving up money for it lol

[Kuronekomi]

I agree about the unflattering outfits but who cares if she sounds so good! Go Ayu! I'm so happy when she can show how good she really is

What is ayu's p*******, hahaha just kidding, I wish I had a belly like ayu's though. She looks beautiful here.

[Lilly]

I don't know guys, I think she just put some weight on and there's no photoshop to hide it. It's not a problem, everybody does.

[Chibi-Chan]

I have a bigger problem with that she seems under the impression that sucking on your finger like a few months old baby would be sexy.

That's so ...trivial. A lot of artists do stupid stuff that looks terrible and Ayu's one of them. Its expected she has some cringeworthy behaviors like everybody else.
