Yeah, now that they've gotten their hands on screens like the ones from AT06 they might as well use them again, and again. I bet people would think that's cheap, but they sure was amazing.

I wouldn't mind if they did.

If the tickets are costing more than an ARENA TOUR's.. I think that something has to be special about this CDL.. D:

Maybe she's got a costume that's covered in gold and diamonds D:

that would be beautiful *sighs* I woulkd so love to see that.

I believer she's satisfied with Swarovski crystals, hehe. And we've already seen her in a dress covered in them, a-nation '06 :).

I dont think we will be saying goodbye to Ayumi anytime soon.Well i hope not anyway.

must be great then...

Hmm, why's all this talk about goodbyes popping up again :) I'm sure ayu still has a loooong way to go. Even if she goes on a hiatus to marry and become a mummy, I'm sure she'll be back again someday. After all, it's not like singing is just a career to her, it just seems like she's born to sing. ;)

I bet my little toe on that this is not her last CDL.

I think that if this were her last CDL, she'd definitely say something about it other than "The next concert is gonna be really good! :D!".

I think it could be her last CDL - after all, ending the Countdown performances doesn't mean ending her career... she might come up with some other formula for live shows.

I believe she wouldn't make up her mind about ending CDLs a year before, if she wants to stop, we'd probably get the announcement some time right before the coming CDL.

"This year ayu can't do CDL, sorry dudes and dudettes, maybe next year"

She might announce it during this year's CDL. As I said, it doesn't have to mean there'll be only the yearly tour from now on, she might change CDLs from new year's eve concerts to... I dunno, Christmas concerts?... Halloween? xDDD

Seriously, it is possible, but I'm just fantasizing here.

^ but how can it be a countdown on christmas and do japanese celebrate halloween

as long as surreal and trauma are in... it'd be great
all-time ayu classics. at least for me.

hmmmmm say goodbye to Ayu in 2008

maybe Avex wants to release the countdown slot of the stadium to someone else for countdown, who knows? if u know what i mean

I wrote she might change it from Countdown to something else.
That's a good point... she's occupying Yoyogi every new year's eve now... maybe someone is willing to pay more? :P

The title of the CDL doesn't represent everything.
Why should we have a thought that BEST must be the last.
Maybe Ayu wants to have a different CDL this year, but it would sounds strange for naming it as "Better of CDL".
You know, Japanese usually likes to call their things the best.
So it won't be the last CDL.

The tickets for the countdown is more than arena tour tickets? o_O

Since it says "best" in the title, I'm hoping for another M performance.
