No specific reason, but I'd love it if she did Born to Be... again this AT!!! ^^

ah I wanna go! ♥_____♥ but money is my only problem.. But i will save money and maybe i can go to next years tour or to CDL! :)

Everything that made it into the past tour and CDL are most likelly not going to be on this AT... So, we can forget Virgin Road, Last Angel, Seven Days War, Moon and Sweet Season... Crossroad is a maybe... So, we have 11 or 10 songs from Love Songs... considering 3 are interludes, we have 8 or 7 songs, what is +- the number of the songs from the new album she performs...

Sweet Season wasn't in CDL. Don't spoil my hopes for this song, I want it to be performed lol!! :P

maybe a "surprise" song like "life" "guilty" "liar" "criminal" or another song she never performed... =P

But it was on the 7 Days Special? Thank U is most likely gonna be the last song...

sweet season wasn´t on a´nation too?

^A-nation: nops
Seven Days Final: Yeap, before SDW

Oooooh please give me some criminal....!!

^ I would loooove "Life" or "It was". She never performed either live, would be great if she did now:heart (yes, I can dream, right?:laugh) Or "Last Links", but I highly doubt she'll do so because she performed it at the beginning of RnRC tour.

Last links!!!!! I want Last links! >.<

YES TO EVERY SONG THAT HAS BEEN MENTIONED IN THE LAST FEW POSTS.

It was is fantastic, and Life is very heartwarming. She could do an acoustic set of both and make me love her forever and ever amen.

TeamAyu Ticket lottery has started today^^
It will run till 7th February^^

~angel*ayumi~, do you know where I could find a guide to use the lottery, it's my first year being in TA and I know so little about the whole system! I'd like to know when they send the tickets for instance (I'd rather not have them send them to me a few days before the concert as that'd be so stressful!).

Anyway, if anyone could help, that'd be cool! Thanks mates!

Would be great if somebody can make a little guide for the new TA members.
Thank you. =D

First, you need a real Japanese address that you can trust, because that's where they'll send your tickets to (normally they will send it out 3 weeks before the show). Then, you need a friend who is in Japan right now to help pay for your ticket if you win the lottery. If not, getting tickets through TA is quite impossible. Sorry :(

OMG criminal would be amazing. so would still alone :heart

It's on the 3rd page of the pdf file. :D

which Yokohama show?

Actually lately, they send you an e-mail with a confirmation number if you won the lottery, then you go to a Lawsons convenience store and enter the number, print out and pay for your ticket there. However, if you aren't in Japan you would need someone to do that for you because it needs to be done by a certain date.

this is fake right?

yeah its fake

omg what :laugh the guy even failed at trolling, too cheap as CM. Keep trying :innocent.

btw I would die if she will sing still alone. I love that song :thud it's so underrated.

It's just one train line and the arena is very close to the station, I was afraid to miss it but there were hundred of people with Ayu stuff (bags, T-shirts), so I simply trusted the crowd and got off as they did xD

+ It was, I wish she would put at least one never / little performed song to each tour, I tried to tweet her about singing those songs during CDL but guess that's hopeless.

I'm pretty sure she'll sing Last Angel again, I have a feeling she likes it as a song.

She could skip over it as it has been in the 7 days Special replacing alterna -and- opened CDL.

Too bad I don't think my dad won't agree to let me go :( I will be just home on the 10th of July and knowing that I have no money anymore by that time then.... xD

But I will be there in 2012! Mark my words!

no new dates until now ?

I have to see ayu when I'm in japan...

I doubt there'll be new dates addded until the tour starts :)

^ thank you for the info

I hope I can go and see her

I'm going for both shows in Yokohama in May. I was 2 years ago on her Next Level Tour, but I hope this one will be better :)

Seems like the name for this tour will be:

『ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A(ロゴ) ～Love songs～』




"ロゴ" is the A for Ayu logo I think

as expected

I would like to see

Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2011 A ~ Aria ~

or

Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2011 A ~ Insomnia ~

or

Ayumi Hamasaki Arena Tour 2011 A ~ Ayu Love Mannie ~


:D

lol cute!

It was confirmed in a TeamAyu email that is going to be ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A ～Love songs～ :P

Awww, I was expecting a ~World Tour~ or at least ~Asia Tour~ :P

Oh well, dates can still be added later!! :D Crossing my fingers for a show in Taiwan!!!! :D :D :D

『ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A(ロゴ) ～HOTEL Love songs～』

*sigh* can't you just like, leave? kthnxbai. :rolleyes

Anyway, about the HOTEL word there... I saw it on @ayunews as well..
Well I'm not sure though if it's official or not..
But if it has hotel.. I love it..coz..ayu did write all her songs in the hotel room.. And it doesn't have to mean in the negative way.. It's Hotel not Motel haha :P
And in the Hotel as well, she got so many gifts from friends..

HUH!? :thud

That's one way to put it! :D

I'm now getting tired of those unusual subtitles for each of Ayu's Arena Tour. And no Asia coverage. How in the world by my standards they call it big when I call this some stupid mistake!?

Is that even official or did you make that up? :P

HOTEL new shinguru??? or is just paella related??

It IS confirmed on the official site.

Ok, thanks for clearing that up. :)

lol cool!! I just checked TeamAyu :)

at least it won't be plain "Love songs", which is good!

HOTEL I hope it becomes a new song or something :/


what about Tokio Hotel LOL California Hotel sounds good, though!

^^It is NOT called hotel love songs...are you serious?

It is.

I would screencap TeamAyu but I cbf

In my mail from team ayu it only says ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A (logo) ~Love songs~

check the TeamAyu website, which was I think updated after the mail was sent.

Ayu had just tweeted :)

Usually, he would be wrong.. But strangely, he's right! O.o

^Yep, you're right. Strange that the mail is wrong, haha

ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 ~ HOTEL Love Songs~

Huh???
:thud

WHY?!?

Because ayu's strange? lol

Lol, yeah ayu, why HOTEL???? So strange.

But it'll be cool if the tour is based on... a hotel room???? LOL, my head just can't process it!!!!!! XD

why do i get the sense that we might see housekeeper costumes and probably bellhop costumes and the stage looking like a lavish hotel room that ayu herself would stay in or look like some fancy atrium lobby :irked

I would love a Hotel themed concert actually lol high class ass *****

Haha yeah I would like it too actually. Sounds like fun.

But I'm really puzzled. What will they do with this? But I must say I'm superexcited for it now! How funny if the tour will have nothing of my imaginary hotel ideas... Like, just a regular AT. :P Then the name would make no sence at all.

Only because of the word "hotel", I instantly thought of Britney Spears' 2004 tour, "The Onyx Hotel Tour". I mean, it's probably named like that because a lot of hotels are "themed" certain ways, and she wants this to definitely pertain to either "Love songs" and or her other "love"-themed songs in general... I wonder if this will be like AT09 where she performs all the songs from the album, hmm...

She says she's the only person who knows why it's called HOTEL, and she's not telling!!! XD

No she didn't!

Lol!! a HOTEL of LOVE, a HOTEL of SONGS, a HOTEL of Love songs. I really really really wanna know why!!!!! :D

I was "WHAT a Title???" when I saw HOTEL Love Songs! But Let's see how will it end up!

^^IKR!! This is so not fair! XD
I need info! Now!

And might hotels inspire her now since she and Mannie kind of had it like their dating spot...?

Maybe~~~~~ "Love for Mannie" and "Love songs" were both born when she was staying at that LA hotel. She's there even now, so maybe that's why??? ^^

omg the title is so exciting. I can't wait to see what she does with this tour!!

Until the tour starts and we will understand what's up with the title I would like to think it like that!~

I read about the title from facebook actually and I was like "You gotta be jokin', she'd never use a title like that for a concert", then I found myself on her official website where it was clarified it's the title so now I'm like "okay, hopefully it's something really epic then" :) Yes, I'm very curious. ^_^

I am totally curious now! I also think it might be related to Mannie and that she wrote many songs for Love songs in her LA hotel room.. but with ayu, you can never be sure until she says anything! I can't imagine what we'll see on this tour's stage, but I am excited!

I'm not interested here for being so lavish. I'm just here for more new music, not some kind of more information on a tour that I won't be focusing too much on.

I wanna see something maybe in hotel scene between AyuxMannie for AT11 :P

I'm sure it's because she spent most of the start of her relationship with mannie in hotels.
Also, maybe because she had fans come to meet her...at her hotel. i think ayu's love for her fans is a bit predictable at this point. :P

haha ayu could be changing it in last minute?
but i love it ! yay~
HOTEL could mean anything!
now can't wait to the concept for this year's ARENA TOUR!
in my mind rite now, the stage design would be like HOTEL? LOL..

is it first time of ayu to put another word in front of the album's name? coz usually, its only the album name as the title for the tour..

this must be something special =))
FOR me like i said before..she put HOTEL probably coz she wrote most of the songs in that HOTEL..we all know it!! haha~

Oh dear... I'm not sure what could really happen if Mannie was put on the tour action...

This just raised my anticipation by multiple folds. I was stunned to see the HOTEL word and I really wonder what it'll be. HOTEL Love songs sounds so weird together hahaha

eek?! Prolly Ayu once saw a hotel named as Hotel Love ? o_O So, she got the inspiration from that :shrug

Ayu is so unpredictable....

but i hope she will sing do it again full version and sending mail...... :love

And my other hope she will change the arena tour to Asia or World tour...

:luv2

I LOVE the title =D

Misa-Chan, can you please translate what this says? It is from the Team Ayu site about the title of the tour:

ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 ～HOTEL Love songs～ 正式タイトル決定！

ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 ～HOTEL Love songs～が 開催決定しました！

※一部表記に誤りがございました。大変申し訳ございません。
ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 ～HOTEL Love songs～が正式タイトルとなります。

Sometimes I wonder..... what goes on in Ayu's head... She is often SO unpredictable, but somehow after a getting used to new things, you can see why she does what she does....

Maybe Ayu is so crazy that she will release a new album, HOTEL, in a few months without any singles, and this is a combined tour :P LOL~

Just that "ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 ～HOTEL Love songs～" is the official title. And that they did a mistake when they wrote "ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 ～Love songs～". ^^

Btw, this title is a bit weird.. ò_O Wonder what's on Ayu's mind =D
and hope she's going to add more dates in October like the past two tours ^^

I actually really like the title. It'll be interesting to see how/if she uses the hotel theme to unify all the sets.

(confession: I immediately thought of Britney's "Onyx Hotel" tour lol)

I think, well hope, that there's a theme running through this tour. Maybe the special screens will tell a story set in a hotel? I'd be so delighted if Ayu and Mannie acted out the start of their relationship to be played in between the songs x3

That may be the special project they mentioned? I would be sooooooooooooooooooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yah yah yah I dont care about the title, but I bet this will be going to be another yeah-i'm-cute-section, oh-no-there're-some-boys-trying-to-kill-me and also oh-my-god-my-lovers-died-again section

when i first read ~HOTEL Love songs~, Instantly Japanese "Love Love Hotel" image crossed my mind :roflmao
Seriously it's a weird title. But I hope it's gonna be a good show *let me win the lottery for yoyogi!!!!!!*

ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A 〜Love hotel songs〜
http://www.mynippon.com/MYNIPPON0223...love-hotel.jpg

:D

^ er what? did she change again? lol~

Haha no she didn't (⌒-⌒; )

But that's all I can think of haha

I don't mind the title either o(^▽^)o

I'm excited to see how it'll look!
And I'm with you on do it again. It's the song I've listened to least (x.x)

I don't see a problem with the title, either. In fact, it makes me think that if/when she performs songs off of "Love songs" she's going to theme it and the stage in different styles to suit the song, like, you know, love hotels have themed rooms. That's really awesome.

ETA: either that or it'll be like the whole stage is a bisected version of a hotel and we can peer inside, as if it's a dollhouse... *shrug* she and her staff can do tons of things with this idea, I don't know why some people seem to be kvetching about it already lol Just use your imaginations and there's nothing to worry about.

you got my point :roflmao
I think the stage theme will be just like in a Hotel.. *hopefully not a Love Love Hotel :roflmao*

I'm sure Ayu has something planned, and she'll surprise us like always. :luv2

It's a good thing you are not the one who's going to give a name to her tours :P

Anyways I like the title, hopefully the show will be hotel themed =D

I think i'll be more disappointed if it isn't hotel themed, haha.

I think if the tour was hotel-themed, they could do amazing things with it.:yes Still I will wait before getting my hopes up for anything because I feel like whenever ayu announces something and we only know the title of it, we normaly think of the wrong things. Usually her titles have a deeper meaning that you can only understand after she explained it right.
