He probably wanted a break. He had been doing it for nearly 10 years with Ayu! Subaru and Kayanocchi also left for a few lives too, iirc.

He said
"I could not go too this year.
I want to go next year……"

He is pretty close to the age dancers tend to retire (as any other activity that requires physical effort, like sports, it's pretty rare for a dancer to keep around after 35~40), so he either went into a different direction or decided to do his own stuff while he still can.

I heard from various friends that it was reported in japan that ayumi had gave out free concert tickets via line in order to fill the seats at yokohama as concert sales were rather bad. Japanese fans had also commented that why is she holding concert in big venues like arena still when her concert sales are bad. Wonder if it is true??

^ you can read this topic discussion in previous pages...

and if she really gave out free tickets via LINE...how and when that happened? I never received any message about this and seriously people...do you know how PETTY AVEX is? They won't added more date if the demand of this concert is low..they are not charity organization...
Ayu will held her TA tour soon as well...do you think the TA tour will happened if her Arena tour has bad sales?

this rumour is so ridiculous...

That is one of those gossip-y things that for some reason gained traction. A lot like the "Ayu is pregnant!" things. There probably were promotional tickets given to people who worked with/around the concert, but it seems like they do that for a lot of acts if you look up the 'free ticket' thing.

Why would they add more dates to the Cirque de Minuit Tour if the ticket sales were bad? This rumor doesn't make any sense.

Over 200 000 people attended I can't possible see how that is bad. Not to mention she is doing another tour this year lol

Probably some girls channel or 2ch thread that just started a rumour and we all know how the people on there are I think... And ofc some people will believe it just because of the general dislike towards her and how they love to say how bad her career has become, I hate false rumours -___-

mmm I think I saw something at ayu's official line before tour start. it was kind of lottery with tickets

I remember that too, but I think it was an early ticket reservation link after the LINE LIVE for A ONE that led to a Yahoo! ticket reservation page.

This「teddy bear」 became 10 years old already. That is the same bear ayu used from the very first performance

Love letter from KO, that we already saw on twitter. Ayu didn't come out from the bathroom for about 10 minutes after reading this.

I'm sorry for the long wait but I finished my last exams today. If I'm not wrong someone already posted the whole thing recored during The FINAL, so here just (miss)understood from the first Osaka date. (And, honestly, I don't remember what else has been requested :P )
