she might be added later? surprise appearence? hmm, it is Avex's 20th anniversary..but oh well if she doesnt go :-\ i hope TRF takes her spot if she doesnt go, tho :D it's be awesome if ayu did another stadium tour, hehehehe--but it's probably like what everyone else says. she's probably taking a break and/or focusing on the asia tour *shrugs*

It's a shame, her a-nation performances have usually been fun.

Ami Suzuki is opening it, again. :P

1st the logo is awesome!
2nd

WHAT? NO AYU? :scry
but maybe it's because of her tour?

That's weird XD
It took me a while to realize that the "A" in A-Nation was for "avex" and not "Ayumi" when I first found out about it XD
I don't care about it much though, so if Ayu will spend her time working on more important things instead, I'll be happy ^______^ It's her 10th anniversary, she ought to be busy, right?

I am actually glad that ayu is not on a nation this year. She needs a break and hopefully she will come out with better songs.

^Agreed. :)

I does not sound weird to me.
SAfter the awful performance of last year... it is normal this year, insted of repeating the error, take a break

Awww. Too bad lol.

This is weird, but I think its probably a a new PR tactic. They'll say that Ayu isn't there, and then surprise up later with a big AYU-tribute and then Ayu will mysteriously appear---all of this on the final night. Maybe that's it, or am I just dreaming too much?

oo nice logo! aww no ayu?...well she's going to be so busy with AT08 so you can't expect her to do everything

well, you know the "and more..." part? maybe ayu's one of those artists? lol. they just didn't mention her on the front page of the website or whatever. :P but she'd still be there?

Logo is.. Ayuish? Wtf? The same concept haha.. Hm... yes, maybe a break. I would like to see her perfom though :( A NATION is fun

Oh well, she would have probably performed the same songs she always performs anyway :o

wow i love that logo =\
it looks...awesome xD
but ummm, yeaaa if ayu aint in it, then it is probably because she is busy enough with AT08 =D

Hmmm... Either she's going to hop aboard or she's too busy with her Asia Tour. Would this be the first time she didn't do A-Nation?

One A-Nation without Ayu isn't a A-Nation :(

^ totally agree......!!

There will be no "A-Nation" at all if there's no ayu since the first time it held in Japan...

But, if the reason is all about ayu's decisions not to perform at this year A Nation, then it's OK !! She needs a break....

And plus, we can finally save our money, no need to buy the "A Nation without Hamasaki Ayumi 2008" DVD !!

Haha probably. Knowing the *****s at avex and all this 10th anniversary business.

Or maybe she's quitting.


I can't believe I just said that
