OMG I can't wait to know what she will reveal tonight!

i love how Ayu is full of surprizes lately!! and most aren't so disappointing LOL soooo i hope she's really back on the track.

Making my way to Yokohama in a few minutes ;).

I'm so anxious to know what she's going to announce!

inb4 come to brazil. oh.

Well I'd go to NYC if she came. Hopefully this 'world tour' doesn't mean just Japan and neighbouring friends.

Please come to Singapore again! :)

Please come to Australia ?!!!!

PLEASE, COME TO BRASIL !!11!

Calm down people we don't have any single clue of what she's going to announce yet -,-
but I do hope it's Asia/World tour!!! I'm so ready for it.

Ayu knows how to promote new stuff. Force everyone in the audience to watch the new music videos whether they want to or not. lol

lmao, i wouldn't doubt about this :laugh

I could live with that as long as the covers are gorgeous. I'm trying not to get my hopes too high with all this rumours about World tours and what not. I mean what are the chances really? ......Can't do it...HOPES ARE UP! lol


I don't know why but your comment made me laugh so hard. While reading it I imagined people on the arena drooling and hypnotized while ayu literally force everyone to watch yelling at the security ''Don't let anyone go till the video is over!!!''

In reality I imagine everyone was very happy to get to watch the video first. I know I would be super exited.

Got A1 block ticket for today. Not bad haha

Omg.

Omg you guys!

The concert haven't even started and me and chocopockymaster are already freaking out! First in the line to the misanga one guy from Ayu's staff came to us with a camera and stated interviewing is. And we talked for a long time too! When he wrapped up he was all like "I'm gonna show ayu this".

Omg.

Ok so then we went to get out our tickets. I'm not kidding you guys, we got center A4 block seats. In the 7th row! If you never see us here again, we probably died and went to heaven.

what did you tell him? xD

I have bad feeling about ayu's announcement
she titled her ta entry "the beggining of the end"

Whatever it is, she won't end her singing career soon. She already promised Sendai to be back next year with new tour.

Taken my seat. My body is ready. Twenty minutes to go. Have fun, all the AHS members there! Especially the ones up front first few rows in Block A! I was there last year and it was... SURREAL.

oh you're right!

The entry as a whole sound very ominous. :shakehead

I guess it is refering to that soon the last show of the tour begins.
so "the beginnning (of the show) of the end (of the tour)" ^^

Just met Komuro Tetsuya.

Dying.

please somebody from AHS who goes to the concert post about her announcement immediately.. we're dying to know what is it about..
reading her TA entry, it sounds so serious.

So exciting that so many things are going on before the concert!

Though.. that TA entry sounds worrisome.

That TA message is terrifying me.
If she says that she's quitting music I'm going to like...not know what to do with myself.

Deep breaths everyone. She hasn't said anything yet. Let's not worry unnecessarily. I'm going to sleep. By the time I wake up we will know more. I cannot stand all this waiting!:no

She seems to be echoing the message on Twitter and it's tagged with tour stuff. (owari no hajimari, etc.)

Hopefully it's only good news to be announced tonight!

Saying stuff like that just sounds more dramatic in English. The Japanese message sounds like she ran off to LA to escape from the pressure, but she came back for the CDL. And then the CDL and this arena tour made her re-realise singing is really what she loves to do. So, there's no need to worry about her announcement.

Anyway. Those who are going, have lots of fun!

Although if she was quitting I feel like they wouldn't be selling TA memberships...?

Also since Komuro is here, I wonder if he'll make an appearance on stage or just watch. Yesterday Shingo played the piano during Teddy Bear.

I'll post it here, so non-TA members can worry with us =)

Maybe she's pregnant.

Somehow I think nothing bad is going to happen. She's just getting emo that the tour is ending. "The end of a new beginning" announcement might be just saying that the tour will transform into a world tour.

I don't know why I'm really anxious... can't wait tonight...

Not really worried that will happen.

Hmmm...what could be? Maybe she.s pregnant or maybe she.s announcing world tour? But her tone sounds serious.

Ayu knows how to tease us ><

The message is terrifying. :( I believe in her words that she will never stop making music. Hoping for something good to be announced, whether it's world tour or anything else.

She probably just means the beginning of the end of this concert leg.

Same here! I was trying so hard to not think about it last night so I could get to sleep. And also so I wasn't too disappointed.

Yeah, I don't think it is anything bad. This is just Ayu's style of writing and expressing her feelings.

I had a dream that I read the announcement first on your website last night! Not that I remember what it actually was!!

Woooowww, this is huge! What did you say?

Btw what time in the US/UK etc will we know what the announcement is?

Also, remember these words guys!

Music is my Life

EDIT: Ooooh also if Sayonara is basically WIFL love then I'm very happy with this!

I pray for "World Tour" announcement, SG will be one of the stop.

I will guess in about three or four hours at the most judging from previous concert end times and the rather long length of this one. Should be about halfway into the main show now.

I'm so excited about the announcement, i'm not too worried about the message because Ayu always had this kind of writing when talking about her feelings

I'm starting to wish I checked AHS a little later today; the waiting for this announcement is killing me!

^same here!

the show ended?

The PV is playing now so the news will be up soon!

OMG!!! What is it Ayu???

*F5 F5 F5 F5 F5*

OMG, She is pregnant with sextuplets :dead2 Album name equals the number of babies?

xDDDDD

What? This is a joke, right?

TA TOUR!

that's the announcement?....

hmm..rumors flying around...confusing...

please don't make joke about this...this is a very serious time...it's not even funny to make joke about this...

saw a fan tweeted "TA tour was decided". no details yet!

EDIT: TA tour will span from September to November.

you left me scared :(

so it will be TA tour...wow..what a long year and hard work year for her...

So you would need to be a member of TA to attend these concerts?

That would make sense...

If the TA tour is smaller as the limited TA concert she did years ago, she might come in other countries.

Oh wonderful, another tour I can't go to. :rolleyes I already don't have the money to go to Japan to see her regulary, so now this is going to be an exclusive tour for TA members, as if only touring in Japan isn't exclusive enough.

TA tour in Japan? Wow, what a disappointment, but when you read her TA message it becomes obvious

mixi also reports a TA Tour
【速報】9・10・11月 TA tour 開催決定！！

Please ayu, come to Europe. :(

I'm happy for the TA Tour. It's time to Ayu to reconquer her fans. She is working really really hard for it. She is trying to show us that she canged or can change for her fans.

Also, I think the surprises don't end here.

I assume it's only in Japan? It will be interesting to see what the setlist will be!

Agree...it brings a glimmer of hope that this can be expand to other countries...TA tour will be simpler and more intimate which is possible to held in other countries...the decoration and lighting won't cost that much....

Maybe more people will subscribe to TA thanks to this, i wonder how many people are members of TA right now

what a disappointment...I was almost crazy for nothing

The TA membership is around $30 so if I who live in a poor 3rd world country can afford it so can you^^

The setlist will probably contain rarer songs, like Dolls and Rainbow from TA03.

I would if she is coming to the Western side of the world, but I think this is very unlikely.

I think there is a good chance this tour comes to other countries.
If it´s small as the Tour in 2003 it will be not such a big deal to bring equipment to Europe/US.
And as TA is international now it whould be a good push in international members.
I mean many now don´t join TA because stuff from site os posted anyways and the TA pre-order items are not that special (and you still have to use tenso) so most ppl joun for concert tickets, but most international fans can´t go to Japan to see Ayu. So international small TA Tour whould be double win for avex, ppl join fanclub + buy tickets.

Yeah i'd join TA if she went to Europe, but i don't think it's very likely though

Exactly. I mean, whats the point to become a ta member if I can.t go to Japan x.x

If this can push Japanese to join TA...I think that will do...

but to push foreigner become TA that will be hard...I don't think just TA member can watch her show if she expand this to the world.

I really liked the first TA tour so I'm excited about this. Nothing too flashy. A more intimate setting. I'm definitely okay with that! Right after this will be CDL as well so she's going to be quite busy until the new year.

Has the MC Section started????

Do you guys think it would be worth bringing this up to Ayu? Through twitter or something? I mean, I know she's aware of her fans outside of Asia, but perhaps we can make a request for her to have at least a couple of dates in Europe and in the states?

Great idea XD

Taiwan, Hongkong, Singapore, Shanghai is possible...

I don't know about Europe maybe in Paris or London..for the states maybe in LA?

I allready asked on Twitter if the tour is worldwide xD

According to Mixi user, Ayu said that she will also come to those Japanese cities which she couldn't visit during this tour. She also said that A-nation set-list wil be different in Osaka and Tokyo. She also confirmed new Countdown Live this year!!!

I doubt she'll come to Europe or the US...
She also confirmed CDL on the MC!

i doubt too but....

So nothing really new...
I guess I was expecting too much but this is a cool thing if she could performed rare songs during the Team Ayu Tour.

Again a new CDL,maybe It's not necessary,I mean she could concentrate herself and giving us something bigger and less expected than a rip off of her previous concerts. Don't get me wrong I love watching the CDL every years but maybe more time is what she really need for thinking about new ideas and then completely surprise us.

Sorry for my bad english

Why? Joining TA is not expensive and is available to everyone. I don't really see a problem. The concert ticket itself wouldn't cost more than 20-30 euros anyways (45 tops) adding 25 EUR for the TA membership it's still a bit cheaper (=) to the current ticket cost.

I don't think it would be a terrible idea to come together and ask her if she would do it for us. After all, she's done so many things upon the request of fans on twitter; there was the remix albums to begin with, for example. Those came together from requests from international fans. What would be the harm in everyone getting together and asking her? The thing is, though, with so many tweets, it can't just be one or two people to ask her because those messages may get buried so quickly.

^"if you'll just look, you won't get it." I live by those words from Ayu, so I think its not impossible for her to grant western fans' wish.

TA Tour is great news! I can't wait for what kind of live she would put up this time <3 I hope it does involve rare/un-/seldom-performed songs.

It would be perfect if there's a new album coming at the end of the year/early next year and the DVD/BD contains this tour :yes

When Utada Hikaru had overseas tour she had sold out shows in CLUBS. I highly doubt that Ayu will agree to perform in clubs. There won't be enough fans to fill bigger place. I can easily imagine her touring in Asian countries, but not a world tour. Let's be real, she doesn' have enough foreign fans outside Asia. I'm not pessimistic about it, just realistic, but if you succeed in bringing her to Europe etc, it'll be awesome of course.

How 's about the setlist today ? Something is different from yesterday ?

Today should be the official DVD/blu-ray setlist so I also wonder if anything changed.

Not really !

http://set-list.net/c20036/e160594/

So, the Ordinal of the songs is different ?
I wonder what is her purpose to do that ?

I agree. And I wouldn't like her to perform on that kind of venue, she's the diva of Asia imo

This site is wrong haha !

According to this one and to fans, it was the same !

http://setlist-live.com/hamasaki-ayumi/10300.html

I suppose the songs are not in order...

Yeah the setlist was exactly the same

Btw her vocals were much better yesterday imo
