Nice find, pedronekoi! Glad you shared it

I'm also happily on a bit of a nostalgia trip this week. Just picked some random performances and revisited some of her late 2000 performances. Would have been phenomenal to go to some of those shows.

For the most part I don't care about celebrities AT ALL but Ayu? I truly and deeply respect. That's all Now lemme get back to my marathon lol
I can completely relate - there’s something about the universe she built over the years that is so appealing to me! Enjoy the marathon, I might try to have one soon, sounds like a great lockdown plan!

A Japanese vocal coach made an analysis about Ayu voice from a professional view.
Too bad my Japanese is not good enough to understand but it’s seems like a positive analysis and I believe he think that she is underestimated technically. From what I get he compare her past and present voices. I believe he don't really know well her discography because he think the only falsetto notes she is able to do are in Seasons.
If someone is able to summarize what he said I would be glad

On paper this song is everything I hate about Ayu's ballads, but there is something about the lyrics and the whole thing that really really works for me. I was so glad to see it live, it made it even better!

It was not a competition show. It was a show on NHK called Idol on Stage that ran from the early through mid-90s where current idols sang covers of past idols, as well as performances of new idol songs. Speed performed quite a bit on this show, for example.

I'm not an expert at this but did Ayu lipsynch this performance?

Or was it completely live?

300% live. There's no way to lipsync those pauses and breaths without looking a little bit fake. It's completely live.

Always loved that performance.

I know she sang Dearest a ton of times in the past, but I feel like it’s now become kind of ignored in her repertoire of ballads when she does concerts lol. I guess it’s a song I’ll never tire of so I wouldn’t mind if she sang it more lol.

I once shown a couple of Ayu's more recent live performances to one of my friends who's been having professional vocal training for years, and she said that while Ayu's voice is not something out of the ordinary, she DOES have a technique and it certainly sounds like it's coming from someone who knows a thing or two about singing. She isn't just clueless on stage.

If she didn't have any technique, she wasn't able to sing the way she sings while being almost deaf. She had pretty low points since the beginning of her deafness, but she improved and readapted her singing many times (even readjusting her tone to be more suitable to her limitations). She's above the average of J-Pop singers (which was pretty low during her heyday, now we have some better vocalists on the scene), even she's not a remarkable technical singer.

I just watched Jlo’s new video and man, I wish Ayu would do something just simple and beautiful like that. It’s just a bunch of glamor shots but it’s so pretty! Actually it reminded me of Jewel so I guess Ayu has done something like it before but... still lol.
