I've watched my Arena Tour 2002 dvd today, and I must admit my friends were right describing it as the worst Arena concert :/ BUT the extras saved it! I was about to go all "gimme my 2,800 yen back" after encore but then I was blown away by unplugged lives, offshots and Daybreak extra live

So I even ripped those special unplugged versions:

M (Special Unplugged Version)
Dearest (Special Unplugged Version)

Take that, haters who say Ayu can't sing live

She is! I have like 5 concerts by her and all are superb, even the 2002 one

But a lot of people hate Ayu's voice in general, and especially her vibrato in lives

I have maybe 4 consert DVD and I agree with you. Some songs are almost better live than on CD. Like Bold&Delicious. It sound so good in Countdown Live 2005-2006:heart:

aedon · « **Reply #204 on:** August 06, 2006, 12:40:45 PM »

I hate hate hate B&D! That song should've never ever been released, not by Ayu, at least >_<

And none of my concerts is a countdown, unless you count Arena 2003-2004... not sure why I've decided to collect Arena over CDLs

MyDearYossi · « **Reply #205 on:** August 15, 2006, 11:19:35 AM »

Seems like you really hate B&D:D
By the way, what is your favorite life performance by Ayu?
I like Happy Ending(from Arena Tour 2005, which is maybe the best consert. Altough I haven't seen most of her conserts) and Endless Sorrow(CDL 2005-2006). And of course SURREAL, Trauma and Boys&Girls are always goodXD

Evolution from dome tour 2001

LOVE it

But I really do like the emotional performances like memorial address (don't remember which concert it was)

aedon · « **Reply #207 on:** August 16, 2006, 08:20:14 AM »

I love LOVE teddy bear + Memorial address from Arena Tour 2003-2004! Always makes me cry or teary-eyed T_T Also love Because of You perf from the same concert. Overall, I guess Arena 03-04 is my favorite concert, the middle of it at least... love the "immature" perf from Concert Tour 2000 Pt.1 too.

Dome Tour 2001 was my first concert but I didn't like it all that much, especially when I imagined watching it from the worst seats and see a dot instead of Ayu x_o I really liked the Duty perf though, with the orchestra and all.

MyDearYossi · « **Reply #208 on:** August 16, 2006, 10:27:07 AM »

I watched Arena Tour 2003-2004 last night and I had forget how good teddy bear and Memorial address were. So, I must say that I love those too:heart: I love how she can't sing a few words because she's almost crying. It's so beautiful:heart: I hope she would sing Memorial address more often on her concerts. It's one of the best Ayu songs:inlove:

aedon · « **Reply #209 on:** August 16, 2006, 10:56:36 AM »

I'd love to see Ayu perform RAINBOW at concerts... she only did TV lives for it

Also, my ultimate dream is to hear her sing SCAR live, I'm sure she'd be crying all over

MyDearYossi · « **Reply #210 on:** August 17, 2006, 10:49:31 AM »

Maybe that's the reason she doesn't sing SCAR...

I haven't ever though about which song I would like to hear live... I have never saw M performance, except in encore. But it looks amazing in A museum "trailer"

I would like to see it:heart:

aedon · « **Reply #211 on:** August 17, 2006, 11:31:15 AM »

Oh I forgot still alone, I'd love to hear it live, and preferrebly the takano yuri CM rock version! Yeah, my dream concert would be an acoustic howling session

Ayu performed M quite a lot o_O My favorite perf is of course the special unplugged version that I've posted here, but Dome Tour's live was good too (oh, that dress lol).

I really hope avex will release A museum's low-priced edition asap, like, around this year's Xmas :3

MyDearYossi · « **Reply #212 on:** August 18, 2006, 10:43:17 AM »

I know she has performed M a lot, but I don't have those concerts...

If avex released that I would do anything to get itXD

New Lumix CM song JEWEL

Watch: http://panasonic.jp/dc/gallery/cm/index.html

Utsukushiii~~~

Couldn't load the video though (damn flash!), will try again after reboot :/

chocolate · « **Reply #214 on:** August 18, 2006, 05:03:50 PM »

^ JEWEL seems to be a beautiful song with nice piano melody. Flash video worked for me (flash player 9) although there was a pause in the middle of CM.

one of my long time favorite artists

aedon · « **Reply #216 on:** August 22, 2006, 12:20:30 PM »

OMG I love LOVE

JEWEL! It's so pretty~~~<333 I just wish the title was less trivial :/
If avex will pull another "big poster with 1st press" campaign, I'll have to buy the single :d

Linus · « **Reply #217 on:** August 23, 2006, 10:18:29 PM »

This is one Ayu single I won't buy! Unless it grows on me...

JEWEL doesn't look as good as HEAVEN. Ok, HEAVEN set the top very high. And 1LOVE (For D-Snap CM) is more Ayu rockish. But this time.. I like it! It's not the hard thing like alterna and ladies night, it's... a lot better to me :p

1 LOVE cms

Ok, this is one Ayu single I might buy... depends on JEWEL full ver
(and the gifts with the limited edition, if there are!)
