Whoever did her hair and make up needs to be fired. It looks terrible. You can barely see her eyes and below that is just a band of... shine. No wonder people were saying she had a big nose if this is the first time they've seem her in years. Whoever did that look messed up big time.

Yikes at her vocals... The new ourselves arrangement is good though. I'm disappointed, for her really, she never seems to be consistent on TV and it always comes with an army of negativity on Twitter ☹

I stan ayu to Mars and back but this was kind of a disaster. She should know how to sing her own classics, and this performance just sounded so bad. I'm sad about it. Also, that ourselves arrangement is trash. She should have revisited some of her own TV performances of the song and just rehashed them instead of this.

Oh God.

I think we can all agree that this performance didn't help her gain any new fans...

^ Yup, that's what i said and still think the same. Maybe if she had warmed up better, it would have been different.
Aside from that she had fun with Yoshiki afterwards too:

Twtitter haters are so bored lol

I liked both songs, but as they were short versions, in TO BE there was not transition before the "sad singing" where she shouts a bit using fake crying. That's the only thing wich I didn't like, the lack of transition.

I love ourselves but, with this song, I tend to think it should be performed with the same aesthetic used in the PV, never happened, it's a bit weird with that dress or a summer look.

Vocals on TO BE were ok until the chorus, it was just painful. For the new arrangements on ourselves... 90% of time I really dislike whenever she gives old songs new arrangements, but I thought "ok, let's hear it first, then judge."

And it was what I expected: I didn't like them. It's always hit or miss and this time it was a BIG miss, it made the song lose all it's appeal and if she intends to keep this on the tour, then I don't mind watching it again. And the overacting in the last chorus didn't help either.

Overall, disappointing.

this particular performance was certainly a disaster, but we're simply missing the bigger picture: her charisma and talent as a live performer has diminished to the extent that it's beginning to embarass her own fans (i'm embarrassed that she's still even performing on shows like MUSIC STATION that perpetuate the spiritually exhausted J-POP idol-machine)

her live shows have become complete spectacle packaged for sterile mass-minded experiences, she overacts on stage to the point of camp, and vocally she's far from fantastic.

as a fan for nearly 15 years now, my wish is that after the 20th anniversary, she becomes a full-time studio musician. just fucking drop albums, man.

i'm at a point in my life where i don't understand the fascination with live music anymore—what is the draw of a rock concert when music almost always sounds better when studio-recorded and professionally engineered?

totally.

TO BE was fine until the chorus, which sounded raw and as if she didn't warm her throat or what. ourselves was weird too. gyutto shitemitari part was repeated 5 times in total. and the sudden going crazy.. hmm. wasn't bad just.. perhaps, awkward

I was expecting something disastrous after reading the comments, but for me it was so-so.
Her vocals on TO BE were ok, excepting the screaming chorus. ourselves sounds interesting with the new sound, and she's doing fine except again for the screaming moments.
This could have been easily avoided if she wanted. Her voice is not as bad as people make it seem, she had worse moments on MS.

TO BE wasn't good tbh, but I loooved ourselves, AND I LOVE "All over the place Ayu" on fierce songs like that! She just should keep it low for ballads imo.

Oh, and f*ck the haters, they are just trash as always!

^soooo you think having an objective opinion, or being realistic, is considered being a hater...?

I mean the nasty ones obviously are. But I don't feel like people who have opinions like me are. Idk, this performance has me stressed out tbh lol

the second ayu pushes out higher notes, she uses her throat to produce the sounds and it just seems like she cant controll it. i mean ourselves seemed to be so controlly and good! to be is a little off, sad for that

i love ayu and her looks, how she performs and what she has accomplished for the very first beginning. i am a hardcore fan, i love her newer stuff shes putting out, but i understand sometimes people talking about her. i mean the nose just defines her face. sometimes im like, oh ayu, youre gorgeous and lovely but that nose looks soo fake. and im not even meaning it bad or negative

She seems to fall into the cliche hole ala Mariah and Whitney. The next time we heard she propbably lip sync her entire tour. As someone mentioned above, it's so embarassing to hear and see that she become what she is now. Compared to her old times where she was busier she still delivered and served us great vocal and image. Now she seem go be taking things too lightly and.... I don't know. It's just sad. I love her so much.
