There is no modesty in pop haha. First things that came to my mind are self-proclaimed queen of live Kuu and Queen of Hip-hop Namie xD Who knows, maybe it's gonna be a masterpiece ;)

I bought my ticket, really looking forward to this live :love

Ever since the pandemic started, I found myself watching many of her past lives. It kinda brings comfort in these crazy times, lol.

I actually don't see a world where she doesn't sing on stage, so hopefully we'll continue to see lives from her after TROUBLE ends :)

I came across an article about voice problems by accident today. There's an interesting statement there. It's in French, so here's a machine but easy to understand translation:"Don't believe people who say you'll solve your voice problem by resting your voice. Vocal problems are caused by overuse and abuse of the vocal cords. You can rest, but if you don't learn how to use them correctly, the problem will always come back!"

I hope her changed singing technique we've been seeing since POWER of A^3 (softer/more airy and less shouty) is a sign of her "[learning] how to use [her vocal chords] correctly"

POWER of A^3's problems I think were the result of too much touring before those lives. I think more than anything it was just overuse that made her super raspy at that time.

TA just sent out an email to all members asking people to send 1 picture of their trouble tour memories in, they will use those pictures as curtain call!! woosh!

Is it just me or does it sound like a retirement announcement?!?!

Where is this quote from?

A day without reading the word "retirement" is a wasted one :D It's about the last time to appear in front of everybody during this long tour. The quote comes from TA mail. Here's it's in full:
---
"ayumi hamasaki TROUBLE TOUR 2020 A～サイゴノトラブル～ FINAL" announced recently.

The performances this time around will be streamed on mu-mo LIVE from 19:00 on October 2nd (Fri), but we have received a message from ayu for all of the TeamAyu members.

----------------------------------------
"Let's create サイゴノトラブル together"


サイゴノトラブル FINAL has been announced at last.
I have come this far with a truly small wish, "Maybe by some chance..."

But I guess we won't be able to meet in person yet. That's right, isn't it? It's definitely not safe yet. Of course, I understand and I am convinced about this.

That's why if I said I wasn't sad that my final appearance on stage will be a live stream, that would honestly be a lie.
I, at least wanted to meet with everyone for the last time. .

Thinking about many things like that, although the situation is that we can't actually meet in person at the venue, I thought that there might be a way that we could somehow close the curtain together as we have done so up to now.

and I have a request for everyone in TA about this. Everyone, can you send your photo memories of the TROUBL Tour

here's a link that I removed as it's for TA only (-maxikot)

If everyone can send one picture with your memories, that would be great!

The submission period is 3 days from today, Sunday, until the last day of the long weekend, Tuesday!!! I want to create a performance that everyone themselves can feel as the last piece on stage, just as we have so far up to now, so I am really really looking forward to seeing everyone's photos.

I think I might start crying just imagining everyone's photos..


ayu
----------------------------------------

As such, we are asking for your photos of your memories of the TROUBL Tour as we get closer to the "ayumi hamasaki TROUBLE TOUR 2020 A～サイゴノトラブル～ FINAL"!

Thank you, maxikot, for clearing this up.

She's referring to the last stage of TROUBLE as they had ambitious plans for it including an arena tour. Thank god she's finally confirmed the TROUBLE era is over.

I sent in one of my photos from last January in Ibaraki, I hope it gets picked. :love

I believe non-asian looking fans have good chances to be picked

^That's what I'm hoping, with my blonde hair and gaijin-ness I should stand out a little. :laugh

But I guess we won't be able to meet in person yet. That's right, isn't it? It's definitely not safe yet.

Koda didn't get this memo..

^:laugh

I attended two dates so I did a collage of some pictures from both. Hoping I get picked as well!

When we attended the concerts, the cameras actually seemed to deliberately avoid the Gaijin Row :roflmao like the camera would be panning over the crowd during the MC part and then awkwardly jump up so only the tops of our hair were shown, or zooming in on angles that cut us out :rolleyes

^I'm only a yellow blob in the DVD on the first concert I attended, the other 3 concerts didn't even have cameras. :laugh I think its only recently that they've been more inclusive with showing foreigners?

I could see myself quite well on the AT 2015 CDM DVD, which iirc was one of the first times they let foreigners buy tickets? xD

lol I hope they won't anymore use 'TROUBLE' as a title

Quite possibly. I'm on the CDL12-13 DVD but yeah, just as a yellow blob and you won't see me unless you know where to look haha. No cameras on my leg of the Trouble tour but at least I got to shake Midoring and Kazu's hands as they walked up the aisle during the encore. :love

I got a whole 4 secondes zoom on me on the PoA3 DVD (longer & better focus than the TV version, luckyyyyy so grateful ^^)

I agree we tend to see gaijins more & more compared to previous tours...
(I guess global team-ayu may have something to do with it, offering better seats for foreigners)

Preach! This TROUBLE thing lasted way too long...

Length I think was about the same as Just the beginning but it did feel a bit longer, lol.

I got my tickets from reseller for CDL 14-15 so I wasn't in gaijin row, I was in row 40, close to the side camera man, he was pointing the camera in my face almost all the time and yet after rewatching the DVD many times I only found myself in one single frame.

(you can even see the camera man pointing camera in my direction xD)

has anyone purchased the ticket for online trouble tour successfully with overseas credit card?

A bunch of fans have, I think. We might be talking about the concert too in Discord on the night/day of!

Aww, I'm super jealous!! ^_^ have you gone to any of her shows before?

I've bought my ticket today. We will meet at the concert then :)

Want to see it ( I spent do much money on the medicines lately that simply can't afford that ticket now

her latest Stories seem to suggest a merch collaboration with the comedians(?) who worked with her for that a-nation intro?

I really liked how surreal that clip is, but the merch design (if this was in fact what the Stories were about) seems, as usual, so lazy.

I am working that day, so no stream for me, but I hope someone will record it as usal^^

I'll just hide in your suitcase, no biggie right? :roflmao

i'm gonna be on work that day
i really hope someone record it

Yeah TA just sent out an email about it along with the article on her website. Frankly I absolutely hated that video intro! The goods are bizarre. Especially the fingers logo keychain...it’s creepy.
https://avex.jp/ayu/goods/detail.php?id=1001746

I really liked the key chain, the mug and the t-shirt... Do I need a special address site like Tenso in order to buy something from mu-mo??, it's the first time I like the some merchandise in a long, long time (even if they look lazy...) XD

*I'm looking in the forum if there's a tutorial to buy from mu-mo :yes

Thanks to Ayu I discovered a new phobia lol

I am ALL for this LOL. Something new and different. I mean do we really need another round of army or leopord print goods?

The goods are super creepy xD

There's a few comments on the Facebook page that they're terrible goods and "not cute" lol.

https://www.facebook.com/ayu.officia...85947321423352

I wouldn't buy them. :no

Lol it looks like people are only liking the negative comments

I think it's an unique idea. Her previous goods all looked the same. That hoodie would be perfect for Halloween. I think the mug is the cutest and more acceptable design

Hahaha people on Facebook are so bothered.
Ok I might be too. I like it in a way that she's doing the most random things nowadays and apparently can afford not to care, but I wouldn't let those items near my house. Love them, though. :D

"買い求める価値なし！！見にくいモノは嫌いです！！！"
:luv2

I love the goods. But I HATE oversized clothing. Damn I would have loved to buy that shirt

They are perfect for Halloween, people should be happy :D I love them as I am always up for weird, creepy stuff ^^

Hate them. I'm glad they are so ugly because I don't want to have any and will not spend money

Hah, as always, so many contrasting opinions! :))

I really like them, they are so creepy and perfect for autumn :grin

They’re not my cup of tea but my god it’s just good to see that she’s capable of doing something different

After the initial thoughts I don't mind the mug or the design with Ayu's face. It's maybe even a bit cute? The hollowed out eyes aren't too bad, it's like some MS Paint ~ a e s t h e t i c ~ edit

I just wouldn't have it in my home hahaha

...but the A mark made out of fingers just creeps me out. 100% blerrrgh, I don't even want to look at them and I can't even begin to understand why. I dunno how cartoon fingers are so off-putting!

Anyway I did buy the ticket for the stream, I hope those goods aren't on display in the MC session lmfaooooo

Do we have instructions for how to buy a ticket? I'm feeling a bit brain dead at the moment. I try and click the "test" screen and nothing happens even though I'm using Google Chrome....

If I am correct under the dates and price there should be a picture with a Trouble tour logo which should take you to another page with the purchase button. It's here so try it out
https://live-on.mu-mo.net/ayu/serial?campaignId=165

AyuDoingThings on Twitter made a tutorial for this: https://twitter.com/AyuDoingThings/s...46477707055104

^Thank you guys, I figured it out with your help. :love I also had adblocker on so that's why I couldn't see the "test" screen. I was so confused.

BOUGHT MY TICKET!! :luv2

I also just bought my ticket and am really excited!

Same here! So excited!

Those goods hurt to look at :(((

Be careful what you wish for when you're asking for new merch ideas.

i hope the concert will be recorded T.T Im not gonna be available to watch at that hour

You don't have to. It will be available as VOD until 10.09.2020.

Reminder that we will be livechatting when the concert happens tonight on Discord! It's gonna be fun!!!!

What is a VOD?

Video on demand, it means that it will be available to watch later again until 10.09.2020.

If anyone care, mu-mo live utilizes HLS for the video stream, so you can capture the video with an hls recorder.

You have to buy the ticket though beforehand to get the VOD access at least.

No, you don't.
視聴チケット販売期間：2020/10/9(金)21:30まで

"Doors open" soon and we'll be getting in to wait for the show!

have fun everyone who's watching! I hope a download link will be available soon for us impoverished plebs here :yes

Most likely! If not sooner then maybe a day or two from now, lol.

But the concert is already on Bilibilli.
And by the way, it's one of her best performings. The setlist was amazing, still can't beat the one from CDL 09-10 Future Classics.
It's just me, but i didn't enjoy the songs from Encore, but the tohers were great!
Uhm, also I didn't miss Timmy, hope he won't write for Ayu anymore, otherwise we will have Inspire pt. 3 as Survivor was pt. 2.

Great concert anyway! :love

^I think Timmy did some really good writing for Ayu tho, so better lower your voice.
