^oh, this is really nice and thank you for sharing! I will have a look, maybe it works! =)

I'm in Poland and I used Thumva to watch Leo Ieiri Streaming Live 2020 back in August. No problems at all. They charge 440円 more for some fees though. The stream was Full HD, quality was really good. There's no need to participate in chats. You can create or join special rooms with friends to enjoy it together, but it's one ticket per person

^that's good to know, thank you for the info. Maybe I'll try it then =)

Good to know there's a chance of us able to stream it but, yeah, I agree it's a shame Avex are excluding overseas fans. I was hoping they were going to start to include us in more streams

Well correct me if I'm mistaken but for what I read on Twitter overseas fans couldn't buy Kumi's last album fan club edition, it was restricted for foreign fans or something like that and of course it's Avex being a mess, also they really need the money so I don't get why they're putting more restrictions now :rolleyes

Bought my ticket but not sure if it will work! We'll see~

Sweet idea.

And let's have another Daybreak moment.

It’s kinda sad they didn’t even mention the video that was organized by the international community, considering this is basically the same thing lol.

I didn’t take part in the original project, so I’m glad I’ll have this opportunity, but it would’ve been nice for the recognition.

Wish I could take part but alas, it's limited to TA. Makes sense to limit the number of people etc but it would have been nice to finally be a part of under the same sky (and a project that Ayu actually acknowledges).

I'm also bummed it is limited to TA only.:(

Yongae's post is giving me good vibes.
Instagram translation: "Take a walk while listening to yesterday's rehearsal sound source. Yesterday, with the arrangement of the countdown "That song", it was so wonderful that I almost cried, but after all, even if I listen back today, I almost cried.. Ayu's song is a mixture of hope and despair, and it is often painful to the heart. Even a song that sounds bright at first glance has a wide range of interpretation from a very deep point. The listener may find the answer based on the person's present or past. I'll do my best to express that part with the chorus"

She probably talks about TA live?

I guess they are rehearsing both Christmas and CDL lives simultaneously, but I expect some more intimate on the first one. Maybe just her back dancers and a minimum band (acoustic set).

She is talking about the song used during countdown. Also that part about the bright songs can mean that the song used is a hopeful one that resonates differently now and reduces you to tears.

I am hoping for Daybreak, Heartplace or Dreamed a Dream :yes

Latest TA :

Maybe ayu will change the start time... Hope live will not be cancelled

They could also do it one day earlier.
