A bit late but I watched a download from asia torrents this week. Nice concert made for TV. Theatre stage in the round was interesting and lighting was great. It was a bit odd that the band members had their backs to the crowd except for the guitar player junko who walked around. It seemed OK when Hikaru was in the center with the band around her but when she walked around they just played with their backs to her too. I could not tell how they knew how to play together unless it was all in the ear monitors. They were spread out so much to fill the big stage. The crowd seemed a bit far but in that arena all the seats must have seemed close to her being in the center.
The stage had nice lighting and the video director had very good shots of Hikaru moving around. It made you feel you were there. Yea I heard the maybe 2 off key notes and a strain for the high notes but overall the farewell concert was very good and the broadcast to fans is a great idea. There were a lot of ballads in the set. I'm satisfied as a fan and sad to have to see my fav artist take a break not knowing when she will come back. Time will tell. The only real thing that bugged me was the cheap office paper clamp used on her outfit to hold her ear monitor wires on. It was a bit utility seeing that on the low cut bare back. It's all in the details. I will miss the songs in her head not coming out while she is away. |

Oh, I got that at first too, but I that's because I used the serial number on the CD case itself. Instead, use the number that is on a paper inside the CD case which is used for participating the competition to the concerts, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Even if this was not one of Utada?s best vocal performances, there are virtues to be enjoyed, the great and the good (Celebs) provided a full house of a faithful eager audience there to just saviour Utada?s presence and watch Utada be herself, enchanting, able to communicate something very special to her fans, my heart sank as there was something of a parting of the ways, a farewell of sorts, Utada is able to simply delight, those qualities came through in a ?breezy?, unaffected way, I loved ?Across the Universe? and ?Hymne a l?amour? and yearned for more French chansons, the encore a shimmering moment of emotional truth ......
Vocally, Utada the singer continues to offer a comprehensive back catalogue, welcome self penned songs that display a meaning that emphasise everything to do with serving a song rather than showing off a voice. ...I cried my eyes out at the end even with U-Streams fallibility ..... Utada has an entrancing stage presence, pure magic... an ending, even if Utada swears otherwise......  |

Well, I'm glad you liked it  ) I've been a fan of both of them for years now so I've seen almost all live performances. That's why I say that to my mind Hikki's better not to make full concerts, her voice isn't designed for that while Ayu is able to handle at least half of a show on a decent level. Hikki's sometimes very good at TV performances with just one song. |

I'm not saying she's a bad performer!  Regardless of her vocals, Ayumi can really put on a great show! It's just that I was on the JPM forums and practically everyone in Ayu's thread was complaining about that performance at the SUPER LIVE. I saw it and pretty much agreed with them. I only like a handful of her songs (Voyage, Heaven, Mirrorcle World...), and she sounded flawless when those were first released so that SUPER LIVE performance just surprised me. But hey, just like Hikki, Ayu's been performing nonstop for the past 12 years, so no one can expect either of them to sound the same. I'm gonna check out the Kohaku performance, though.  Edit: I saw the Kohaku performance. It was good! I hadn't heard that song before (Virgin Road). I like it, especially the chorus. |

What do you mean? Love songs wasn't great but same song on Best artist was performed almost flawless. M was every decent. And you might wanna check today's Kohaku performance or two Crossroad performances (these two were almost perfect) . Ayu's much better live performer. |

OK, I've been watching today's Music Station SUPER LIVE 2010 and... let me just say that if we have mixed feelings on Hikki's vocals, I can only imagine what Ayumi's fans think of hers...
