The thing is, you guys, if she nails these performances and shows that she is back in true form with her old songs, people will start to look at her again. They're safe, yes, but potentially career changing once again. "did you hear ayu sing SEASONS? Wasn't she great?" I could already imagine the conversations. These songs are beloved staples to the nation, and regularly enter the top ten on karaoke chats. People are still singing them after forever. It's so logical to have a comeback performance of her old material to let people know that she is back and takes everything seriously.

We all know that Ayu had the vocal training at the end of 2014 and the result is the great vocal in the latest CDL. But SEASONS performance with JJ Lin in February isn't great.
Until now, I believe that there are some songs that are unsuitable for her current vocal (SEASONS, M, JEWEL, HEAVEN,...), specially in her classic ballad. However I also put my hope on her performance which will be aired in August. Do you think so ? |

Ayu has a big responsibility to sound just as good as in her 20's. And even better with a cover of such an artist like utada. Ayu just opened a very dangerous can of worms. Praying for thumbs up.

How come? TBH her version of Movin' on without you is so much better than the original in every way. She nailed it every time she's done it live.

Both times I was there it sounded awesome. The CDL clip was also really good.

I heard the TV version, there were not many differences.

So do I.
But I don't like the performance and her vocal in this song from the CDL. Hope for the other version which is better in Arena Tour 15 |

Let's be real though, NONE of those had a chance of making it to this performance except for the sixxxxxx tracks.

The only reason why Movin on without you was "popular", i'd rather say well welcomed among the general public, is because it's a hikki cover, if it was an original Ayu song, people wouldn't have cared. RedOne sure did a good job, but he's def not the reason why the general public liked it and downloaded it.

^lol you can't know that for sure though. Being an ayu fan and an utada fan, sure I was excited that ayu was covering it. But the song stands well on its own. It's a far cry from the dated 90s R&B track that the original is.

Movin On Without You is a shitty song - original or cover (in my opinion).
And what.s with the ”utada songs are hard to sing”? For the first half of her carrer she sang mostly basic pop/r&b tracks (which is not a bad thing, I do enjoy some of them) that almost any decent singer could sing. The problem is that ayu.s voice doesn.t fit these kind of urban songs. I have to admit that her ambiental/experimental stuff is good but not necessarily hard to sing. The thing is, even Utada herself doesn.t manage to sing them properly in her live appereances. She.s more of a good composer than singer.

When MOWY was out people were attracted to it because "Look a hikki cover ! And look it's very well done, she did a good job with that one for sure", the live version @ CDL posted on youtube got a loooot of views, whereas the other videos (Zutto..., Last Minute) got forgotten. People got curious and wanted to listen and watch MOWY video simply because it was a Hikki cover, and they liked it, but you can see that that stopped at that and didn't bother listening her other new songs. |

But considering you said Hikki sings properly live I already know this is a fruitless discussion... The girl misses more notes than she hits. |
