You need to rent a stadium-ful of seats, sit down and not get up because your high and mighty approach is stupid.

Its also nice that you posted a redundant comment about the single format after taking said high and mighty route.

Any information on "song of the day" which customers who preordered live DVD/Blu Ray could download after the latest concert???

meow, hissssssss, rawr.

I don't even know what the hell you're talking about, and I really don't care to. My statement remains true...

Teddy Bear! <3

Teddy Bear again tonight <3

This was my first Ayu concert and it was a wonderful experience! My mind is still kind of a blur, so I can't say much more than that. But that woman is amazing!

Teddy Bear is a good choice.

how much did the ticket cost??

All the tickets are 8500 yen if you buy them the regular way.

Your post was a pile of **** is all.

I wish people would get warnings from the moderators for being so rude to each other, or even get banned from commenting temporally if they become just too rude. Giving your opinion =/= being rude.

They wont. And if you report too much they tell you you are being overly offended and that some things you should just ignore, which I find utterly ridiculous when you are in a forum with rules...
But whateves.

I know there was a thread somewhere about buying tickets at reseller shops... does anyone know of any reseller shops in the Shybuya or Shinjuku or Harajuku area?

^I only went to the reseller shop in Harajuku, its on Takeshita street, the main fashion street/mall, and if you just keep walking down you'll see it about 2/3 of the way down on the left. It's very easy to find. I bought my CDL 31/12 ticket there for 20,000 yen, very simple to purchase and the staff were really nice. Or the lady that served me was, she was very excited that I could say arigatou, lol. Ahhhh, my precious memories. :luv2

^ oh cool thanks! Can you tell me anything about the shop? Like if I walk by it I will know what I'm looking at? lol Like I will know its a tickets/idol like shop

The ticket reseller in Shibuya is a very small shop in an alley between the train station and 109. I had to walk down 3 small alleys on the right side of the road to find it. Look for glass display cases full of tickets in the window. It was near a Tsutaya and a Burger King if that helps.

The tickets that are being resold definitely costs above 8500yen no?

Depends how good teh seats are, and how close it is t the concert date.
Reseller tickets can be cheaper than original if the seats are bad and you buy them very close to the start of the show.

So the only thing about buying it direct at 8500 is that I might get awesome OR crappy seats right? And good seats definitely cost wayyyy more than 8500 right?

Do you know why their system is such? Seems weird to be not to be able to choose the seats.

Thank you for answering, I'm trying to get seats for Tokyo this July. :)

I think the only reason to buy it at the orginial location (TA, pia, lawson, etc.) is to have a ticket for safe at the "cheap" original price. Eveb at TA you can be lucky to get good seats, but also there you can get crap seats. (I was lucky I got pretty good seats, I thin at yahoo/resellers they whould have cost me at least 150-200$ per seat) But I think to get them below orginal price is very rare. I never been to a reseller shop myself, maybe some others can help you how often you can get them below the original 8500 yen.
Ifr you only want really good seats for sure reseller shops and yahoo should be your answer.

If you wait until the concert starts you can get tickets for much cheaper lol.

Granted you'll miss the first (first few) songs :P

I think that's what I'll do for Yoyogi. I already saw it on the first date so I won't be too bothered by it.

I also don't care if I have crap seats either haha.

Yeah it´s really a good choice if you saw it allready and just want to see it again^^
btw now i am rly curious what this seats whould cost ap at yahoo/resellershop (the green dot)
http://i40.tinypic.com/10p2jgi.jpg

Do you guys recommend that I get it at 8,500 or buy from resellers?

The thing with yahoo auction is most of them hide the seat number no?

The reseller tickets were 3x original cost when I got there 2 days before the show.

Thank you! I shall buy it at 8500 and get random seats! Thanks!

You'll definitely know, there will be glass cases at the front of the shop, and they had the Ayu ones on the left case at the very front with a big poster of Ayu. You'll see lots of musician posters and lots and lots of glass cases. This isn't a pic of the shop, but this is outside the shop when I bought mine:

There's a shop near 109, from shibuya station, cross the street and take the right road, there is an icecream shop in a corner, take that stret and you'll see it.
Well.. they have more shops in Tokyo, google their name "Yokohama chiketto"

The day before the first concert (12nd of April) they had only one ticket in arena, B zone and it cost around 500€... lol luckily I had one ticket a friend bought for me before I went Japan xD It was far, but a lot cheaper! xD

she certainly is.

I have to agree. She's been positively glowing these days. The days where almost every picture makes me go "omg ayu so gorgeous <3" have returned.

I see it for sure! :heart
I had a soft spot for her diva look, but this natural one really suits her, and she really looks at ease and relaxed!

i thought i know this look ... and now i know from where xD

i think he's one of Gaga's dancers. happy

http://i41.tinypic.com/dmw9di.png

I wonder what did she sing on the 23rd June show

omg only a few weeks away...

I really want the sweatshirt but it's so expensive and I don't know what size to get or how it will fit.

I"m happy with my two t-shirts

@tbarnes10 there's a sweatshirt avaliable?? Sorry if I missed something obvious haha, I just love sweats and I'd adore an Ayu one!

@harufi
Here you go^^

Sounds exciting! BTW, I've never seen an Ayu show (I'm a relatively new fan)--which one should I start with?

@~angel*ayumi~ thank you so much!

When do you guys think we'll get the covers for the live DVD/Blu-ray? The last two have been some of my favourites~

So worried about how much I'm gonna have to pay for my tickets...ughhhh lol

my friend from Japan just messaged me that she sang july 1st on the encore today.

Cool!!! Only a couple of days until July 1st so :P

Aww July 1st...that's appropriate!

Hope I won't forget to listen to it on July 1st

playday on monday *****es!! July 1st so it's mandatory ;)

It should be the very first song of the day~
I hope I'll remember too! :laugh

This picture proves the live is not empty at all.

From http://tieba.baidu.com/p/2424620564

Not really, that shows less than 10 % of the arena. All the tickets are sold anyways, the resellers buy up everything. If the tour is not doing well, they were counting on more merchandise sales, not ticket sales. I think they are just making excuses because they already made other plans for the rest of the year. They're never straight forward with the fans about why big changes are made. Why would they start now? I think the injury to her leg on stage was more serious than they will let her admit and so they removed 99% of A-Nation and the part of her tour after that from her schedule and moved up recording that was scheduled for November originally.

I always wanna have a party every year on July 1st. But it seems to always be a weekday! That makes it harder lol

Ah! july 1st is tomorrow for me! lol...

Hey, i know this is sudden but i'm actually on my way to Ayu's live at Nagoya now. Anyone going? :D

Oh. Fixed! Thanks.


http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/3416/g5n5.jpg

Hi everyone! i just got home from the last night of her tour here in Nagoya. I'd say that it was really a great show! I really don't understand those who say that her tours isn't selling well but there was not an empty seat today.

Her vocals are awesome. I swear, it felt like i was listening to a CD. She sang so many classic Ayu songs. Jewel, Heaven, No way to Say, etc. I seriously think its the best setlist ever!!

I even bought a light-up fan but the show was too awesome that I broke it during the Surreal-Evolution-Surreal part. LOL

It was the very first time I saw her live and i think its worth everything.

It's good to hear !! Happy for you :)

Oh, you must have a lot of fun! LOL Nice to hear that!!

Envy!! ^^

Awesome vocals, crowded arena, so is it just haters starting these stupid rumors? I'm happy to hear this!

wow so surprised that it's your first!!! :shakehead
glad you had fun ;)

^It'll be my first also in a few weeks! I'm excited, nervous, scared, anxious, everything! omg lol

^ If I were lucky enough to attend just one of her tours I just know that I'll be crying the entire show :-)
I would not be able to see squat from teary eyes

ahhhh Happy Memorial address day!!

I was afraid of broken my light fan in the part before the encore, when everyone says "Ayu, Ayu, Ayu, Ayu~" and clap with one hand on the fan ^^U
But it survived xD

I only took out my light stick, I let my fan in the bag xD

I love reading about everyone's concert experience. Only makes me want to go see Ayu live even more! Those who are able to attend are so lucky!

LOL I really felt so bad when it fell apart that i wasn't able to concentrate to Ayu singing! After that, i just used it as light stick, but its kinda bigger RFOL. It was the best day ever! I was seated near the center stage. It was really nice seeing Ayu and her dancers near. It was surreal! No pun intended. I'm really not that kind of person but i was almost in tears during My all. Anyway, Next time i'd just by a light stick. Bahahah

I really hope can see ayu asap!! xD Glad you had fun hayasaki!

btw guys, does anyone know where "truehappiness" is? It's like he's gone from the net since March.

^^^ yayyyy who cares it's Memorial address day anyway!

I'm so envy with everyone !! That's good to hear her concert is doing well!

Now you said it and i just realise that he hasn't been around here for a while...

wondering where he is?

He was on last.fm yesterday -
http://www.last.fm/user/zeoh

I guess the only comment I can say is that she didn't talk on the encore parts unlike her past tours. More like Hotel Love Songs tour last year. But yeah. It still felt so surreal and the feeling when I was entering the arena
was "magical".

^ so no MC at all huh :(

I've been wondering that for awhile.

Anyway, I really wanna see what this tour is actually like, so I'm glad it'll be out sooner

You can't do anything because
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/...gonna_hate.jpg

I'm so happy for you! Finally, nakapanood ka na rin ng concert ni Ayu. I don't know when can I see her too! I was also wondering you went to a concert when you posted a photo on your FB account! :)

Yeah! I really can't believe it myself too. I was just planning to go out and buy food for my pets when suddenly a friend asked me to come. LOL I'm plann'ing to write a review before the week ends.

So it's been two days since the concert and now i really feel bad for my light-fan. i should've bought an extra for collection. haha

To those who wonder what happened to it...

:rolleyes That looks so hard to break. Did you get so high?

Just superglue it lol

i was rockin' on my own seat too when they went to the center stage and sang evolution! LOL


yeah. i'm thinking the same but god. The crack will always be there! LOL i used it as a light-stick after that. LOL i guess its the biggest lightstick on the arena that day. haha

The show in Kobe was my first! I spent the first few songs like "Holy ****! I'm actually here!!:thud "

No MC anymore?

I asked my friend who went with me to slap me just to know i'm not dreaming! haha. Ayu is so beautiful especially on the white gown she wore on M~No Way to Say part. She's like a goddess. I happen to seat somewhere very near the center stage and I can clearly see her. I sweat it'll not be the first and last tour i'm attending! haha.

hi everyone....came back from the 30/6 nagoya show too, i agreeher vocal was superb. strong and stable. and i caught a ball from Zin....:D the JEWEL and POKER FACE were my favourite performances, got really attached.

I'm so surprised! Do they really let you in once the concert has started?
People in the audience must be so annoyed by being disturbed by others getting to their seats when Ayu's started singing!

wow envy of you and glad to hear another positive review of A BEST LIVE.
can't wait to watch the DVD.

when was the last time she perform "poker face"? know her since M / Stadium Tour era, totally don't remember how that song goes like :rolleyes

So lucky! I love zin XD

Since A museum 2003 ^^

She didn't sing it for 10 years.

^ She sang poker face in some dates of the PoM tour

Oh right. Every time I think mainly about the recorded dates setlists.

I god. So jealous. LOL I was really hoping to get one of those. I thought I was gonna get one until it landed on the girl two blocks behind my seat. LOL

I don't believe this has been posted yet. The tour attendance for 2013:

http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphoto...52746218_n.jpg

It was posted on ForAver Club's FB page. As you can see Ayu is the #1 solo female singer.

CONGRATLATIONS TO AYU

Isn't the #2 spot on the top Kana nishino?

So we have nothing to be worried about, she is doing fine. Sheis above G-Dragon (who had a dome tour), Momoiro Clover Z (which is becoming huge), ikimonogakari etc

Is the second number teh number of shows? If yes WTF AKB had nearly 200 shows this year allready? o.o (or is this with all sub-groups)

AKB48 have (or at least had) shows weekly at their theater. It's not a tour.

^

good point.
