I knew it was coming... I really miss the originality of the Arena Tour like a few years ago (my story tour, miss understood tour, asia tour 2008), before she starts the CDL as a big "rehearsals" for her annual tour.

So I think, GREEN and Marionette will be on the tour, of course.
Hope she'll change her tracklist a bit for others songs.

For the new album, I'm worried about an A BEST 3, thanks to her profil pics on facebook and twitter.... Ayu, is that an hint?

What is that May 16 date? The begining of the tour or the end? Please say the begining! please please please....

It's may 14th, 2016. And obviously it's the start of the show...

Arena Tour? That's all? I thought it's going to be some new album news, but...oh well.

I leave japan the 15th may! :'(
Hope it's a mistake or fake :)

Yep, it's May 14th, a Saturday

There is literally nothing official on her website yet, chill.

Kinda hope that made in japan thing is fake. Unless she's gonna be able to handle the vocals this time i think that would already have made this show a lot more enjoyable than it was. I really wonder how they saved her vocals for the dvd release of the CDL.

I hope this piece of news is true!!! I need to know!!! :dead2

I'm ok with made in Japan, but I hope very little of the CDL is used. Tbh, I would only like Marionette to be kept, and maybe another cute fun costume (not the same one, though)...

How many places does this news need to be posted

i'm kind of hoping it's not a ballad heavy album like A ONE was, i did like the album and it did sound a bit like the old ayu but i would love more tracks like talkin' 2 myself, and GUILTY era tracks, that album was almost flawless in my opinion. Although my favorite album will always be (miss)understood. I would love another album like that one.

^ I would love a GUILTY-isque album! Actually sixxxxxx is very nice too. I just wish AVEX would spend more time and effort on her new PV. Please give us something like Microphone or Mirrorcle World.

So is WInter diary PV going to be included in her next album?

Is A BEST release going to be re-recorded version? Why no A BEST 3? :(

I love how they mentioned she's heading to the 20th anniversary year, at least we know she will be active until then :laugh

Why post something fanmade? This is about news not made up stories...

IA. Leave that for the chat rooms, not a news thread :rolleyes

im so excite for the news next week. a best (profile pictures) and arena tour has been leaked. something 'big' to be anounced must be new stuff. im getting excited as hell!

^I think we just got all of the news today, no?
