you can try getting tickets from resellers. Im sure theres still some left.

Eeeew

I also think she should pursue rock. Her voice has always sounded great with rock, but as her voice changed it didn’t continue to sound as great with other genres of music she’s chosen to make. Rock really is the only genre that truly compliments her current voice.

So there's three AHS members attending Jan 31, in Nagoya, right? SKYia, myself and someone else? I think the third person was Hayasaki but I have a bad memory lol

Anyone know a good place near the venue that would be open for a post-Ayu concert meal? If the show starts at 7 it should finish about 9pm-ish. I know Nakau has decent food (and an English menu) and is open 24/7 :) Or we could meet up earlier in the afternoon and see if the army of Ayu cars shows up :D

Are they doing that lottery thing where you buy a CD and draw a straw for prizes?

I don't know the area around congress center so well, but Kanayama station is not far (subway 1 stop) and there are many options around there. It depends on the kind of food you want. Personally I go to Yamachan a lot with friends. It's an izakaya that serves chicken wings that are specific to Nagoya, but also has Japanese style food. Food is good and inexpensive. I think they have English on the menu as well.

Me too. Rock Ayu is my favorite Ayu. Her rock songs and her Ballads are the most memorable parts of her lives for me.

I also missed the lottery. I'm waiting for the general sale to start to buy from lawson's (l-ticke.com) but I'm also keeping an eye on tickets from ticket.co.jp . Hoping to get tickets for February 20.

Maybe we can write her a letter and have a bunch of people sign it? Or an online petition? I think we're all just sitting around hoping she notices, but she won't until we do something noticeable.

Hi! I'm attending the 29th show. :D The venue is near Hibino station which just a station away from Kanayama Station, our city's second busiest station. There are lots of shops and places to eat around the area. :)

Anyone else also attending today’s show in Saitama? :D

I think this quote shows the way Ayu is. If she doesn't feel compelled or inspired to do something, it will never happen.:shrug
Didn't Ayu say she personally prefers rock music anyway? I think it suits her current voice as well. We won't know until the next album is released.:think

Speaking of new album, i can't believe 2017 ended without any Ayu album. Was it supposed to be her 20th album? perhaps it makes sense she decided to skip 2017 so her 20th album will be out on her 20th anniv. I can also sense a Best of Album probably doubled with the new album.

I’m going, looking forward to it! I’m going home to get ready now, lol.

you kill us.

Miss the long album with 12-15 tracks in total, with 4-5 interludes... rock, soft rock, fierce rock and ballad, I’m dreaming...

Honestly, I'll be disappointed if she doesn't release a 12-track album with interludes for her twentieth. It would be a shame if she didn't, Ayu has so much talent, she 100% could be relevant again, yet... :shrug

My personal wish is that she re-creates all her album covers. 2018 Ayu posing as Loveppears or Duty cover Ayu? I'd die. Sorry for going off topic~~~

I wonder what this tour will lead up to next year?

I might be wrong but she said that she is coming back to Saitama in April again during the encore today. Or was I dreaming?
Anyway the show was really nice minus the costume of Timmy, or actually a total lack of it. He could do AV in that costume without taking it off really. But overall it was really good night! Very rock-ish setlist (same as on other dates)

No she definitely said that! She said she’s coming back rather quick but...

So we can expect new tour soon after this chapter ends!!!

Glad I wasn’t mistaken. I think I have seen you btw, you were in row 10-12 or smth?

Yeah I was in the 12th row; where were you?

P.s. Sorry if you didn’t get my response t your earlier PM. I thought I sent you a reply about where’s to get the tickets but then I got a message saying never mind you found it. Lol. Glad you had fun!! For me it was a blast! I went on the 31st too but this time was more fun. I had more energy but maybe also cause I was closer this time. Lol.

Anniversary Concert incoming?! <3
