Thoughts on A Nation performance

First of all I like to thank my precious immel for posting the vid <3

My first reaction...WOW! Ayu owned that stage! She was such a presence there and she had tons of energy! She really knows how to stir up a crowd!

Some things I noticed when I watched it: Her English has gotten WAY better. I can finally understand what she's saying.

Watching this made me want to go to her concert. At first I was a bit skeptical if I should go or not, but now I'm definitely saving money to go to her next Arena Tour <3

That is AMAZING.

OH MY GOD.

They showed snaps from AT06..

OH MY GOD IT LOOKS SO INTENSE I AM GOING TO SCREENCAP THAT NOW OMGGGG


god you can still see people walking out slightly.

-slaps them-

I thought the performance was pretty good, but not her very best. I think her voice sounded more powerful at the a-nation last year.

[Tasked]

I was shocked by the AWESOME AT06 snaps!! And OMG Ayu certainly owned that stage. A-Nation is hers! It's AYU-Nation! I can't believe how good these performances were. With the extended outro; BLUE BIRD was certaintly an amazing song to end the concert with. It triggers the same effect with the audience as July 1st always does.
And OMG Startin'.. Ayu's voice is so powerful in that performance. All the moves, the shouting and the dancing... The performance was just...perfect =-)!
Also I was kinda surprised Ayu clapped hands with the audience in Boys & Girls... cool move.. There was so much energy during the entire Ayu live part

[immel]

I definately agree with you who already posted, it IS AYU-nation, hehe. She gets to talk to the audience at the very end, no other artist does.

Spacey, that means we just might see eachother there, hehe.

Yeah I kinda think so too.. but then again, we didn't see SEASONS or A song for xx...

I have a feeling that the power ballad is what we were missing .. :<

[~X2RADialbomber~]

THIS IS LIKE THE MOST AWESOME ANATION EVER! I LOVE IT AND I LOVED THE INTRO! I CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT! EVEN ASK ZEOH! STARTIN' WAS THE BEST I'VE EVER SEEN IT!

[truehappiness]

I liked BLUE BIRD..

For some reason when I watched, it didn't stick in my head as much as the other one.. perhaps it was the lack of HANABI / power ballad :<

I wonder if Ayu was the only artist to go out into the crowd o_o

[immel]

Wasn't this BLUE BIRD like 10 minutes long? lol.

[truehappiness]

I don't think it was. Are you being sarcastic? :p


By the way: anyone with A~sensation please send OMG

[immel]

Hmm, that was the impression I got when I skipped through the video quickly, lol, she's like talking in the middle of it and all that? No? Umm, maybe I should actally look at her full performance .

She just introduces the band in the middle of the song, like she always does.

[truehappiness]

I have a feeling that they lowered the volume on EVERYONE'S mics..

Ami Suzuki doesn't sound as loud as she did last year .. o-o~

[Tasked]

let's make it an outing xD 'cause I'm going to the AT07 too; if the dates are good for me

[immel]

The dates usually span over like 3-4 months, so you should have the possibility of making it to at least ONE of them! Although, my guess is that most people is aiming for something in Tokyo.

@Sunshine - Ah, of course!

[truehappiness]

You guys should confirm a date to go and make sure to get tickets next to each other.. :p

[heyheyderek]

She's so powerful that i could feel her energy just like Im one of the audience~
There were some individual dancing performances, which I really love.
Whats more,this time she said "put you hands up' instead of "put your hands" which she used to say in her concerts~

[HilaryDuffFanboy]

omg yes, we all need to go to AT07 together or something. because not all of us have a very good sense of direction and i know that i will get lost if i go. :p

as for the a-nation perf, it was great except it made me like startin' less.... for some reason it just doesn't sound like an "ayu" song and it's like ayu is trying to be someone she isn't....

and ayu's english..... boy has she improved. :p

[immel]

I'd guide all of you around Tokyo, no problem .
