She'll probably have less time in the gondola..?

Or sing a segment of Sunrise there, and then get on stage to announce band members or something.

Yeah, Greatful days is gone!
I prefer Sunset everytime.

It's good she sang Sunset >.< I hope the tracklist will stay like that ><

WOOTS @ Sunset!

i love the new tracklist thanx for letting us know ^-*

Yay!!!! Sunset ^___^

i'm so glad she's singing sunset :D it's such an amazing song

yay for Sunset!!! *-* now the tracklist is almost perfect.. I would want another NL song there... Sparkle for example...

Change of outfits!! (from yahoo japan auctions)

She looks pretty in the white new dress.
The red outfit would be cool for the rock sengement.
Thanks.

I think she got rid of the black rule outfit and the red one is the replacement. The white dress I think replaced the 2 piece mermaid dress (thank god) coz she also altered the blue dress. (looks nicer now)

I'm happy she showed less cleavage in these outfits...I like ayu more like this.

She's way prettier with these new outfits !

YAY she got rid of the mermaid outfit.. but that new red one is so tacky and not flattering her at all. that white dress is so plain.. but it's nice. oh no.. i see her reaching in one of the photos

ha the red costume is more hideous than the one she had for INSPIRE on a-nation '04 and that was hard to top. The white dress is nice ^_^

Did it rain again during ASFXX, cuz we have Ayu on the knees in the rain again XD

I like the new outfits better than the others

Hmmm, that's OK, but I prefer the black outfit for Rule... Maybe an outfit black and red would be amazing :D .

It's WAY better, but where is her waist gone! She seems so cubic it's strange...
Thanks Ayumiko ; )

her hair looks really bad and she looks like she put on weight (i think that's just because whoever styled her doesn't know how to fit her body properly, though)

i like the set list overall, minus rule and sunrise!

i'm glad that she isn't singing Greatful days anymore, such an awful song.

the white dress is much better than that blue mermaid thing.
not feeling the red outfit though, the black one was better, but it's alright.

her hair looks horrible though lol

It feels like summer is the time of the year where ayu gains weight but if its like last year, then she should be thinner by the end of year. Ayu should go easy on the bubble tea...lol.

lol yeah she looks like the exact same size she was last years a-nation. her weight fluctuates so much. she was super thin just a month ago in those bali pics

The rule outfit would have been better if it was black and leather with the red part. I still don't like the blue dress but I really like the white one.

I love the red outfit, and the white dress is so much nicer~!

I hope the red disaster did not replace the black outfit =/ She looked so much sexier at last years ASFXX performance

the red outfit looks like christmas :mischief

haha UGH D: i hate the red outfit, is awful!! D:

OMG the red dress ....o come on i liked the black outfit! -__- at least the white dress looks decent. *sighs* thanks for sharing ^^

the black one was the same one from her tour, and she probably used it as a temporary while the red one wasn't finished yet.

thank you for this!

Wow, these outfits are awesome! Reuploading now.

They basically remade the a-nation '05 is this LOVE? outfit in red. And it's hot.

o... I love her new white dress and son't like sparkl-red %)

These candid shots are usually pretty bad. They made a-nation '05 Ayu look fat. Ugh.

Am I the only one who loves the 80's hair?? haha

these outfits are a lot better. I just wish her hair was different. It's not really attractive. It's really messy. In all the pics she just looks really sweaty. I'm sure it will all look better on video though.

White dress is made of win. With red, she looks more powerful/whatever. Woo!

It could be sweat. But its also probably rain.

They made a-nation '09 Ayu look fat

thanks for the new picsss.

i like the new outfits more than the previous ones. except the red rockish one. maybe it's because of ayu's hairstyle, which i don't like :-(

i'm not liking her extensions lol. but meh, i'm still excited to be going at the end of the month :P

i think she is :( we should just accept it now and prepare to make horrid gifs/msn emoticons :yes

eww... her hair. those bangs and that poofy long stuff. she looks like a troll female from world of warcraft.

She's looking quite buff lately. From some photos she looks like she is a bench press away from having Madonna arms. Cool :)

Those outfits are better, thank god they replace the blue mermaid two piece.
But she still doesn't look too good. Her hair is horrible.
They should take the extensions out if they look that messy with sweat and rain.

i think her bang is still weird to me

Hair sucks in all but the shorts outfit.

Otherwise, she looks okay i think. The new white dress is good :)
She should've made the red outfit more like her 05-06 CDL red boys & girls outfit :D

her hairstyle is the only bad in the a-nation of this year T^T

nice new outfits^^

LOL not really... a nation 03 looked bad to me (the worst) lol.

My favorite a nation hairdos of hers are a nation 05 and 07.

she can rock out the short blonde hair good!

The white dress is GORGEOUS!
the red wan is ok hahaha...prefer it without the bling

her hair is BIG and WILD hahaha!

EDIT: OOO THEY EDITED THE BLUE DRESS TOO

lol. Overall though I would say these are better than the last outfits at least.

i always think her hair was so namie in a-nation'03

WORKAHOLIC AYU.... maybe she could rest a bit.... maybe a couple of weeks.... i'm sure she would look less tired... anyway... she looks pretty! I love her! XD

just some new info. This years a-nation there are ayu "smoothies" both 600 yen. A "sunrise" smoothie and a "sunset" smoothie. I just got the TA mail talking about it. haha

They're called "A Smoothie" (Aスムージー)

Sunrise: yogurt + mango smoothie
Sunset: yogurt + mixed berries

They'll be for sale at the "Community Area" (not sure what this is, haven't been to an a-nation before) and will be available at the Tokyo Aug 22/23 and Osaka Aug 29/30 shows

Smoothies? as in fruit drinks? now THAT is something I would definitely like to get =)

^ An Ayu smoothie?!? LOL
£4 isn't actually a bad price...considering it's an avex product. XD

Gosh I wonder how they look like. Too bad it's limited to A-Nation. I REALLY REALLY want to try them!

I totally want a sunset smoothie.

NOW.

I wonder if the Sunrise smoothie has caffeine in it... :P
Or something spicy... XD

it's mango right? lol

But the sunset smoothie is like my ECSTASY. Yogurt + mixed berries.. omg heaven, I can like taste the strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, cranberries, wolfberries, acai berries... and Burberry~

^ Isn't Burberry a brand? ROFL O_O

01. Rule
02. A Song for ××
03. BLUE BIRD
04. Sunset ～LOVE is ALL～
05. TO BE
06. Boys & Girls
07. Sunrise ～LOVE is ALL～
08. July 1st4 `

someone from ayuchina post this from the newest setlist of a-nation in 愛媛

Precisely I pray Ayu puts a Burberry voucher in every sunset smoothie... it's possible given her wealth!

And @ prussian: Yeah, we got that yesterday I think (dances cos Greatful days is removed~)

Oh noo, Greatful days in the cart? That means they won't be doing the kick-ass new choreography they came up with last year :( :no

I, for one, really don't like that she replaced it with Sunset. Even after being performed last year, itwould still be more interesting than that snoozefest. :innocent

:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao
Make some more of this Naxo!
You're the best! X*D

^That comic is hilarious!
I really like the new outfits. And yes even the red one!
And I love her hat in the encore!!

I love the new outfits, especially the red one! and i think her hair looks awesome in all the pics. Though, i'm not sure how i feel about replacing Grateful Days with sunset..

Ayu smoothies *_* would totally get a Sunrise one LMAO.

you can see how Sunrise and Sunset smoothies looks like ^^

mmmm *-*

Oh my... they're fantastic! Thanks for sharing

wow, if I bought one of them, I would save the glass like a treasure ;_;

I WANT THE SUNSET SMOOTHIE OMG! :weep

sunet/sunrise smoothies? wow O_O

Those look yummy! :thud I would get the sunset one, it looks delicious <3.

Apologies in the event that someone already translated this part of it, but here's a general rundown. It appears this was from a BBS (message board/forum).

~~

[English translation]

"There's no a-nation topic, so I'm posting here.
Her voice was in rather good condition! I was concerned
about the chorus of TO BE, but it was super-great.
She hit the high notes. Her moves with Shuya in the
middle were touch-and-go. She forgot the lyrics during
Greatful Days and sang "la la la~," but there weren't many
people who cared. (I think it was because the cheering during
the break was so loud.) Unfortunately, her outfits were so-so.
Also, she was fat. I'd thought she slimmed down recently,
so I was so surprised."

[original text]

a-nationのトピがないからこっちに
声の調子は結構良かった!!!
TO BEのサビ心配だったけどめっちゃ上手かった。高い声も出てた
途中のしゅうやとの絡みは微妙
Greatful daysの2番の最初の歌詞を忘れてラララ～で歌ってた
けどあんまり気づいてる人いなかった
(一周してる途中で歓声がでかかったからだと思う)
残念なのは衣装が微妙
後太ってた。
最近痩せたと思ってたからビックリ

~~

^Oh great. I thought she slimed down too. Well we will have to keep an eye on the Arena Tour outfits and hope no middrifts dissapear (like they did for AT08 when she gained weight)

omg just look at those smoothies *___* that's one thing you can't get on yesasia lol.

Ayu drank too many smoothies.

that made me laugh for some reason. it's so blunt and random.

^Ha I see what you mean. Like itstead of saying she looked a bit chubby or gained weight just "she looked fat." very frank!

WOW! The Sunset smoothie looks delicious! :D
I want one! :'(

LOL at the blunt BBS member.
Ayu seems to get chubby in summer, eh?

haha, i thought the same thing, so random and out of nowhere XD.

Hm, the outfits probably emphasized strange parts of her body or something at first, haha.

and bubble tea...XD

LOL me too xD
I was surprised she didn't break into a hip hop ruetine!
:P

Though i gotta say the hair suits namie better :yes

I'd have to say that the pulled back pigtail style doesn't suit anyone.. over the age of 8. Haha.

^ LOL

i don't like her in piggytales, unless it's like the AT07 ones. the other types don't look good on her IMO

Or maybe i'm biased since i liked her looks all through 2007 (excluding the glitter shoulder lenght haircut)

Sunset smoothie looks delicious D: *drools*

oh my...ugly red costume...well, still better than the black one, she looked really chubby in that one...but i like the new white dress^^

Damn, those smoothies look so, so good *__*

Is she really "fat" though? Cuz...she doesn't look it to me in those photos... :P XD

Maybe Ayu should take more time vomiting on the bathroom so she can keep fit!

thats realli sad we think ayu is a lil chubby, truthfully she is a lil plump(reminds me of her during AT08 concert) but i think her hair makes her look that way i think

love her outfits:spew! omg! she looks gorgeous:loony! her body is... slamming! :rofl


heeheehee

omg i love this :smitten


:cigsmile

I love your posts so much xD
