I was hoping that this year's concerts would be a bit later, somewhere between July and September, or not take place at all, so that Ayu would rest a bit.
It is not totally excluded to see later on an extension to this schedule for Asia tour dates in autumn.

Since the first tour date is in April, the rehearsals are probably due to start after she returns from Hawaii.

Still hoping for a concert in Europe :)

she needs take rest!!!!

TT___TT

poor Ayu! she works a lot for us!!!! *goes and cry*

thanks for the info... I want to know if new music is awaiting us or is gonna be a kind of PLAY MORE... o_oU

As much as I'm sure fans in China, Korea, Taiwan would want another Asia tour, I kind of hope that this year she focuses more on music than touring.

Not sure if I'll be able to make the tour this year though. I'm already going to be in Japan for 2 weeks in February seeing Gackt, Namie, and the final Hello Project concert. If I really love the set list though, I might try for the yoyogi ones in June.

Tour kicks off in April, there's going to be hardly time to draw breath, let alone recover and rest. That anemia thing is no joke if she returns before she's ready.
Of course we know she'll be monitored but as soon as she feels she's ready, she'll find some way to start the ball rolling.

finally, ARENA TOUR!

I mean, kill me, but I love Arena tours much more than Asian

Cool ! The arena tour 2006 is my fav concert ever !!
Thanks

Oooh, I wanna go!

again, the world ARENA sounds so nostalgic. lol

wow another tour so fast?! she needs some rest man~

COOL!!!!! ARENA TOUR!!!!
Thanks for the info and confirmation!

OMG ! it's really great ! i always think that Ayu has overacted recently since she had Asia tour in 2007 ! and now ! a new Arena tour 'll bring Ayu back like in 2006 .

Temporary title? Not that they'll add Asian dates, but if this is the final title, it'll be the first one not to be named something since ARENA TOUR 2003-2004. Maybe it won't be album themed and an album won't come out until during or after the tour?

The only difference is a couple of extra stops...

.... and the MC sessions, and the chatting with the audience...

Yeah, I totally don't get that either. :)

it's a pity to we Chinese Fans... As we can't watch her concert in our country...
But Ayu will not be so tired if she doesn't hold the concerts in China.

yayyy!!!!!! i'm gunna try to go as i'll be in japan!!! :D:D:D:D thanks!

neither do I, she did perform in Arenas the last 2 years as well XD So besides the fact there are no other Asian stops I don't see whats so different about it~

woah this is so fast...
the schedule for arena tour is out already? goshh~~
thanks for sharing the info :)

Yay! I was thinking it'd be called ARENA TOUR 2009 -GUILTY- A or something but yea LOL.

and anybody realise that there isnt any theme? like these

ARENA TOUR 2005 ~MY STORY~
ARENA TOUR 2006 ~(miss) understood~
ASIA TOUR 2007 ~Tour of Secret~

the above are all promotional tours to promote the album. But ARENA TOUR 2009 seems to be implying that there wouldnt be any album being released any soon.
