yeah i hope that FNS will update the list with Ayu's name on it..
*finger crossed*

Last year, Ayu's promotional schedule for Days/GREEN was posted on November 30th [a little over two weeks before the single's release] so she'll probably end up doing the same again this year. Way to cut it close to FNS though since it was airing only a few days later...

I am really afraid she ight not attend FNS, I mean: It's quite early to sing one of the new songs, isn't it? And I definitly don't want her to perform Sunset(she could perform curtain call...)

^ Well given that she is doing CDL rehearsals and I'm sure at least one of the new songs will be in CDL - she probably has at least rehearsed it by now. FNS is pretty early this year though. Usually its around the 7th I think. And now also that they have moved the single back 2 weeks, it makes the performance quite early.

If she isn't on it, it will be the first time since Love Appears.

well, FNS was on the 3rd last year if I recall correctly, but yeah, its early, the single got postponed, so I really am afraid her possibly tenth FNS anniversary might be without her
EDIT:
Here are the FNS dates of 2004-2008
01.12.04
07.12.05
06.12.06
05.12.07
03.12.08

The 4th update to the FNS list has taken place: Ayaka (It's taking forever for her to retire, haha. Kohaku will probably be her last) and Love Psychadelico. It says a few more will be added on the 25th. So cross your fingers.

That's true, so long I'm starting to think it was all but a publicity stunt to get people ready for her best of...

Ayu's been confirmed for Kouhaku... and hopefully in the next week, she's confirmed for the other end-of-the-year shows and a few others for promotion.

thank you for updating

J'ai un question! What does "VTR appearance" mean? Will she perform, or not?

Thank you for the info!

I wonder if she will be the 1st to perform again...
Hopefully she will at least be the 2nd-6th (and still reach to yoyogi in a good time before she starts the CDL), so the rating during her time can be at least slightly higher. =P

VTR appearance = a video is played during the show that has Ayu in it, usually a past appearance no the show or something.

Usually when she does Kouhaku, she's in the first round of performers of the second half of the whole show, as last year was an exception since CDL was starting about an hour earlier than usual.

Oh, right. ^^

Probably this year's CDL will be shorter then since it's not PREMIUM. T_T

I wouldn't mind for a PREMIUM 2 though.

Btw why ayu still holds the CDL at yoyogi?
As it seems they do everything they can that as much people as they can will be able to get a sit (since there are more people who want tickets then the amount of sits), so why keep holding it in this venue? She should perform at a bigger one.

so... can we expect Ayu to sing one of her new ballads here, or not?

She will probably sing You were...

here you can see the POPTEEN's cover out

I think that's because yoyogi is like right next door of NHK hall where they hold kouhaku ...and plus Johnny's holds their cdl at the tokyo dome.

really can't wait to see ayu busy schedulle during december...
its really tiring for ayu, but for me as fans, i feel so happy because i can see her very often

would be great if this year CDL hold in tokyo dome
