Ayumi Hamasaki - Evolution 2007

[datapad]

she's A - a great singer, and B- very good looking too. A pearl.

[twoisbetterthenone]

no... 69 people will die thru these evolution

[AlphaWolf428]

@twoisbetterthenone heh heh... 69...

[CaballeroMetalico]

69 people will not evolve

[heyheyalan1]

with Ayumi's beautiful lyrics, she's one of the few artists worldwide keeping a good name for pop music and culture.

[Fwstas]

Great ! <3

[BIGMIKE130]

[chicconio]

A HUGE ENERGY ON THAT STAGE .... AYU YOU ARE AWESOME

[KatelDouay]

Why is it that j-pop sends meaningful messages throught the lyric of their songs, but American pop only talks about sex, drugs, or partying?

[momygirl99]

@KatelDouay Because Americans are addicted to all of the above (Sex, drugs, and partying), and the Japanese artists and people actually have a life.

Just sayin'.

[TheRaspberryHoney]

I really don't like (as in I HATE) Japanese Pop but a friend of mine (who is a fan and I tell him he is a loser because of that) passed me this link and I have to say that as much as I wanted to hate it and criticize it (and you for listening to it) I can't because this is really good :(! She has a great voice, the tune is catching and the show is amazing...I hate not having something negative to say about this.

[almirati]

@TheRaspberryHoney

She has some really amazing songs. Many times she reminds me of Gwen Stephani.

[0omelodyo096]

I like her clothes, and this song rocks!!

[AnyaraEsse]

Omg I got chills from 0:00 all the way to 5:34. <3

[bibismellyboy]

voice of an angel that could heal japan <3

[SunfireGTX25]

she is so gorgeous!! Absolutely my favourite jpop singer!:D

[adaksteter]

that small top-hat is kick ass

[frealynn]

I was actually thinking this would be a ballad version, but...

it's still the evolution rock-ver i wanted.

AWWWWWWW AYU YOU ARE AWESOME XD

[Kleptul]

I sincerely hope Japan can continue to produce awesome(yes I'm using it as a noun) like this in light of their current situation.

[acapair]

63~ people have no life

[seokyin37]

She's one of the few singers who can sing rly well live. <3

[AshenMoonShadow]

The ballad part is so amazing. She should release a studio version

Plus, that leg kick is so impressive! I lol everytime I see it.

[400129]

I liked this, but still, i had a strange feeling. I felt like the crowd was told to move as one to the rythm, and everybody was doing the same thing, which cannot be seen in other places, only in East. :D

[trailaway5663]

I LOVE Ayumi's outfit.. ^^ Its beautiful! 

[snarkmistress]

What is the name of this tour? This is such an amazing way to open a show. I have such a girl crush on Ayu, it's ridiculous.

[walkingpound]

@snarkmistress this is ''asia tour 2007~tour of secret~'' !!!

[IxYamikoxA]

the lyrics are beautiful cause she writes them herself, not cause some idiot hands them to her to sing

[mikanandnatsumetuber]

The queen of J-POP = Ayumi Hamasaki

[FoxyPinkGirl]

Ayu just dropped/released Ayu-mi-x 7 today (House/Ayu Trance/Ayu-ro Mix/ and Acoustic Orchestra) I wonder if the orchestra version of 'Evolution' mix was inspired by this version? I hear little parts of it in the orchestra version. never-the-less, I love this version :)

[Flare4123]

dang. This is so awesome. she sounded like she was rapping. I LOVE THIS!

[ImUrFanGirl]

@Flare4123 lol ayu used to rap look up nothing from nothing

[lolita1789]

she is the japanese barbie

its perfect I love all her song and

this performase its amazing but

all the dancer are drassed like vouge of madonna

and I love britney sorry....

[FoxyPinkGirl]

@lolita1789 I think this performance was supposed to represent evolution versus copying a Madonna performance. what people also fail to realize that she doesn't copy other artists and she's not necessarily calling the shots when it comes to visuals in performance and in videos.

[DMCpawn]

Don't get me wrong, I love Ayumi, but why are her videos in a playlist for Monkey Majik? I guess YouTube knew I love them both? XD

[Cochofresa2]

She is so damn hot! =)

[KelciaMarie1]

Wow! One song, and I already want to buy her album on iTunes. :)

[MySunnySunflower]

I love u Ayumi! you have such a beautiful voice and songs :)

[GR8JAX]

She's so sexy! lol

[Trunks150]

Ayumi has songs that I can relate too, she has super happy songs but also some sad ones, and when I need it there are even songs that put me in a certain mood. I love this woman, she's a real star. 20 April a new remix album will be released I heared :D

[superorgasm]

Ladies and Gentleman, this is what you call a true pop star. One your mesmerizes the audience through her lyrics and voice, singing with pure emotion and heartfelt pain. Not that Brittney Spears garbage dancing around half naked and lip syncing.

[CloudAzzurro]

@superorgasm Aaah! I was about to write THE SAME THING! Exactly the same! THIS is talent, an amazing performance, live, Ayumi sings with her soul and heart! Britney Spears can't do anything, she doesn't sing live, she's talentless

[jonlim52]

She's so hot and cute >W<

[wrcp2010]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ool:)

[Vladimyrful]

Japanese Inna :)

[CloudAzzurro]

@Vladimyrful Japanese Inna?? JAPANESE MADONNA! ;D

[14AnimeEmo]

only just recently started listening to Ayumi but am already in love with everything about her <3 she has become my new japanese idol ^^ this song is my fav and makes me cry :') x.

[yukisaito06]

[hallohanoi]

[ko1c]

[wualdox1]

[DaddoJumpTeck]

[Kaiven88]

Love to watch Ayumi concert she is awesome=D Evolution - remix Rocks

[ElectroExclusive]

[MsTenshixx]

[SoreBakka]

Apparently 54 people have not "Evolved."

[LnKadventure]

OH GOD, LISTEN TO THE CROWD !

[etx25]

Japanese queen!!!!!

[cabomba]

Love both slow and fast motion of this song

[robinisrobinisrobin]

[andrewichigo]

What's the show/DVD/LIVE name?

[brian0117jp]

@andrewichigo ayumi hamasaki ASIA TOUR 2007 〜Tour of Secret〜

[andrewichigo]

Despite the fact that i like the song, this setting is a "Wannabe-like-Madonna".

Though this is way better ^^

[kawaiipandadance01]

the beginning is a very good lullaby !!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE AYU !

[HanaTenshiHimeko]

Omg, they were so cute dancing in their costumes and I loved the beginning!

[ImUrFanGirl]

remember to support japan

miss Hamasaki supported america after 9-11 with the single a song is born and donated to american charties now it's our turn to help japan

[Kleptul]

Why oh why was I born american and not into this awesome culture?

[FlapNo1]

@Kleptul

Sometimes I ask myself the same, but hey, where does that pop music culture come from ? the US, exactly^^

where does all the classical music come in the first place ? Europe!

All of our cultures have awesome sides, Ayumi (& other great artists) found out how to balance inspiration from all cultures!

And besides, I BET a lot of japanese people asked themselves the exact reverse question of yours ;-)

[januseva]

God bless the nation of Japan and all Japanese people. Please be with them now in their darkest hour since the end of World War II. I love Japan.

[Mudoh415]

Who is this Ching Chonny person? Are they related to Leroy Jenkins?

[08trancelover]

WITH YOU JAPAN

[zume]

Hehehehe Japanese think they are American. So cute.

Lyrics overview!

"we're headed for a new century...Reality is a traitor; it's easy to misjudge things....decide the worth of this place. Do it with your own standards.... We've arrived in these times, But somehow things move...living through today....We've arrived on this kind of world. Somehow I'm very happy, somehow it hurts a lot....I've arrived in this kind of world. So I was able to meet you.

[zume]

Hehehehe Japanese think they are American. So cute.

[TheOwnager12]

This song has somehow touched me

[kawaiipandadance01]

her vocals are awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sorox123]

also love their dance

[sorox123]

Love this song

[TheDenkey]

A great song that reflects the current evolutions we see happening worldwide. But bless all those who suffered the past few days from the Sendai Earthquake in Japan, you will continue to rise.

[lebaogiang]

Dear Love,

Spend money to have love, end with success, dream with guys, see me through wedding ending, have big illusion with your kids.

Give you big hug

You are my super fan

JULIE LE

[vivlishous39]

Amazing video. I love this slow performance of the song. I still love the fast version. Ayumi Hamasaki is Amazing! :) go Ayu chan

[DisneyDarcy]

This is one of the most incredible performances ever seen or heard. Helen Keller must have missed the like button 53 times.

[PikachuEvolie]

cool outfit

[raiconm]

Its like she took a leaf out of lady Gaga's fashion book.

[SKYia]

@raiconm strange comment, nobody even knew gaga back then in 2007, Ayu's costume was inspired by Satin from Moulin Rouge and dancers wear typical French costumes from times of Marie Antoinette, what's up with people randomly calling gaga everywhere all the time xD

[paynexkillerAOTF]

@raiconm it's like Gaga took a leaf out of her fashion book.

[sergel02]

@paynexkillerAOTF which is probably true. I remember her saying she's watched like all of Koda Kumi's videos and followed Ayu

[kozall]

text translated to english: "Yeah, we are the country that kill most whales, and be sure we will go on untill the last whale is dead. Yeeeah, the sea will be red from the blood of cute and innocent dolphins, naa na naah. slaughtering nah naaah naaah exterminate naah naah naah every species we can turn into bad tasting food....cause we only care about our selves, not the nature, not other people, notthe planet, only our seelves...cause we know we are the best country in the woooorld...GO JAPAN"

[1x93cm]

@kozall whale is a damn fine meal =D

you just don't know what you're missing

[kozall]

@1x93cm sure it isnt veal you are thinking about? Juicie tender kalf, cow-babys...you got me hungry now ^^

[DisneyDarcy]

@kozall Um Japan's whaling issues have nothing to do with this entertainment performance. Keep your narrow-minded, over generalizing thoughts in your own small mind please. <-- text translated into layman's terms " GO FUCK YOURSELF!"

[kozall]

@DisneyDarcy aaw, cute comment, but have nothing to do with my point. I made the commet cause of all the "Oh i love japan, best country in the world, i wish i was born there....." that you usually read under these kind of clips, and if people are that retarded they need an eyeopener. If you believe a country is that great all based on an artist then you are embarrasingly stupid....but coming from someone calling her self "DisneyDarcy" im sure you are use to that amount of ignorance...

[DisneyDarcy]

@kozall Lol what does the fact that I enjoy classic Disney movies have anything to do with whether I am ignorant or not? And your statement "If you believe a country is that great all based on an artist..." is incredibly hypocritical. You have a negative opinion of an entire country based on one issue (whaling), while they have a positive opinion of an entire country based on one issue (music).

[bestiaonthedrum]

@kozall as if the others nations are not destroying planet earth... go and burn yourself.

[kozall]

@bestiaonthedrum OMG, what a comeback....you know one thing little kid, there is a color called grey

[bestiaonthedrum]

@kozall "little kid"? whatch your mouth "big fucker", and change pusher.

[kozall]

@bestiaonthedrum remember when your mother told you that you are so good at comebacks? well, she lied...

[bestiaonthedrum]

@kozall ha ha, you wanna put it on the rethorics field? sorry, you've no chance to beat me: go jerking off with some porn stuff instead fucking with people liking this vid, kiddo.

[kozall]

@bestiaonthedrum and again....when some people reach bottom the try to get up to the surface again, but you starts to dig...."....but maaa, you told me..."

[bestiaonthedrum]

@kozall yeah, cool, totally non-attaining answer, but, wait a minute, yeah i got it! you're talking about yourself! you're the cannibal, right? yeah, when some people reach the bottom it's hard to get up... btw, "you starts": congrats for your grammar (un)skills, wop!

[bestiaonthedrum]

@kozall nice style, bite and disappear, but don't worry, your understanding limitations are my amusement. So long encephalopathic jackass!!

[GeeeR018]

I love Japan ! She is awesome

[CrazyWallace19]

(o)=(o)  _

cool

[UntouchableBaka]

OMG!

Take a chil pill crowd i can't hear her awesome singing.........but then again if i was there i would be screaming my head off........fufufu

[patryciachan]

My favourite japonese singer. Greets from Brazil!

[patryciachan]

My favourite japonese singer. Greets from Brazil!!!

[LittleSweety]

This song was 10 years ago no. 7 in the world charts #ayumi #hamasaki

[TheDemonScream]

Screm her outfit, i want HER XD

[Kamisamadesu1]

Don't get me wrong...I love Ayu, but given her history of bad falls on stage and forgetting lyrics...there is no way I would allow her to be suspended 30+ feet above the stage.

Now Ayu...is it true that you and Hikki-chan have been bar-hopping is Shibuya again? Whoa Yeah!

[jassica123456789]

i wan her outfit

[PhinaDel]

woah yeahhhh woah yeah woah yaaaaaaaaaaaay!

WOW I AM IN LOVE IN THE THROWING OF THEIR FIST!

[mellowsky47]

She is so talented and graceful. She is a great artist

[BenBlunt1]

HAMASAKI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[700gsteak]

Thumbs up if you want to punch the daylight out of the 2 racists.

[misper34]

Ayu rocks!!!!

[TheDemonScream]

[StelzigDanty]

Thumbs up if Ching Chonny didn't bring you here!

[Mr2x41990]

@StelzigDanty

[bernidamm]

@StelzigDanty

[linkalover1]

@StelzigDanty who is that?

[DiabloMercy]

@StelzigDanty wats ching chonny?

[boppa1231]

[gokudomatic]

would be nice if we didn't have to hear the public.

[xPersona4]

[DraqMaster]

@xPersona4 JAPANESE

[xPersona4]

@DraqMaster thank you O_o

[DraqMaster]

@xPersona4 Np =) Her music is so beautiful!!!!

[gokudomatic]

@xPersona4 can't you tell? O.o

[nekroneko]

Thousand Arms introduced me to J-Pop and Ayumi Hamasaki. I didn't even know who it was until much much later as well, damn, that must be well over a decade ago now.

[xPersona4]

thumbs up if nothing brought u here u just know good music!

[Sonicrega]

@xPersona4

No thumbs up, but I'll just second that. :)

[casefc3s]

It's been so long since I've listened to j-pop, this was the perfect song to come back to!

[psychicriver]

This is a beautiful version of Evolution. Has an acoustic version every been released? If not, she ought to!

[AYUfansCANADA]

I always love the way she says thank you! ok I am going to comment on about how fans compare Lady Gaga and Ayumi Hamasaki. First of Lady Gaga has stil a long way to go before she can be compared to Ayu may be Lady Gaga is a bigger star right now but Ayumi Hamasaki has been doing this long since Gaga. Ayus lyrics are very pure and that gives her the edge of any star! lady gaga is a remake of Britney Spears where as Ayu she has her own unique style.

Gaga no comparism to Ayu.

[AYUfansCANADA]

@froghaterk this is a nice comment and its fine to praise whoever you wish:)

[MegaLynx1]

49 ppl dont know how to listen the music

[datiez]

my was that a jaw-dropping-introduction

[Kampfstier667]

soooo beautiful *_*

[Cindyns04731]

I love the opening music...

[robinhochiahkwan]

The beautiful of art in a way of expression..

[tyl5566]

[heyheyalan1]

[LykayaMamato]

wow, so gorgeous!!

[onsparda]

lol theres more than 8.6 ppl....

[DeborahS2910]

Ayumi has ALWAYS been the Empress of Pop

[EbonyBurns]

I like it and i dont even understand what shes saying

[sherijanict]

Like this if you want to make Ayu the 8th wonder of the world. She's one in a 7 billion people living in this world.

[setsunahq]

@sherijanict there are only 2 billion people in this world

@setsunahq wait, wuht? please, buddy. kindly know the general statistics of the planet your living in before you blurt out such statements, unless that's a joke. XD
