If you're talking about when the dancers are flailing around, it's taken from the Remo-con remix of Wake me up.

^ the one before that, where a video of ayu's faces was shown on the curtains. the ones with strings arrangements.

Anyway I loved the remix opening of Wake Me Up. It reminds me of her WHATEVER opening in CDL 2004-05

They hardly use actual interludes. They are created for the show only. I was surprised by discomunication though. :)

Ah, it was likely to be original to the concert then. She tends to have concert only interludes for CDL and even sometimes tours. (like snow field and music or feedback)

Slightly off-topic, but I wonder if Ayu will perform snowy kiss, Missing, and Wake me up at this year's tour? (not counting Ivy 'cause it was only performed on one night).

Sometimes she doesn't re-perform songs more than a few times? Or at least, I believe this occurred with FIVE...

She's already performed Missing twice, once at AT12 and CDL.
So, I wonder if Ayu will focus more on the LOVE again album tracks at AT13?

I think it depends on what we are going to get on the DVD... I noticed sometimes songs on last year DVD do not show up in the current concert minus some of her staple songs.

LOOOL! I guess Rock n Roll Circus was a misconceptions. SMH. Fooled by titles AGAIN! I just don't get why some hate RAINBOW. The tracklist is well-adjusted, I think some people were not listening to it very well because IT IS A FOLLOW UP to I am... If agreed with others, I am is about not afraid of who you are, love, freedom and peace. Going to the hidden track to flower garden, it was giving you an introduction to RAINBOW. Nobody but me realizes that. am I right or not? Maybe. Now by my opinion, people don't analyze it is because it was yet an ******* eye opener. By learning freedom, peace, love, individuality will bring you into learning more about truth and reality. And using english is not an excuse (of the "failed" sales) , english is a global common language to use- if you know it, everybody knows what you're trying to say- she was saying something especially to OPEN YOUR ******* EYES. ---- Themes are freedom, the struggles of women, and "a summer that ends in sadness ".

^ What...?

really?! oh thank god. i was basically fed up with the idea that these new tracks would really only just be like, two or three lol.

Not to be rude, but are you on pot or something?

Well, her message is clear. It's just... the wall of text lol.

Only 31 days left!!!

my b-day!!
thank you ayumi!

This x 1000

30 days to go where I'm at.

I wonder when the final release for this project will be announced?

XD x1000

i'm really praying for a new ayumix cd!

hey!...or maybe the 5th release it would be a re-cut maxi single taked from LOVE again album (51° ayumi hamasaki new single : LI - including new video clip) XD

orrrr....the A BEST 3 including a concert on DVD/blu-ray

Wait, no, still 31 days...I just took one away as I thought it may have been the 7th on the otherside of the world at the moment...

Yeah, I'm hoping for a surprise really. I can't see her rocking the boat with this new album by overshadowing it with a BEST only a month after it's release.

Time zones are too confusing lol

Isn't Australia the same time as Japan?
But you guys will get the album first, and we'll get it after (but really before, time-wise) or something (the leak)

Yeah roughly; I'm currently an hour behind Japan!

Anyway, I did some research on the time durations between studio albums, and BEST albums:

Party Queen/A SUMMER BEST - four and a half months.
Duty/A BEST - Roughly five/six months.
Secret/A BEST 2 - Roughly three months.
GUILTY/A COMPLETE - ten months (NEXT LEVEL has a smaller duration, however it comes afterwards so it doesn't really count..)
RAINBOW/A BALLADS - three months.

If A BEST 3 is released in March then it'll be the tiniest duration of time (one month) between a studio album and a BEST album.

Saying that though, both A BALLADS and A BEST were released in March. Also, A BEST 2 was released right at the end of February (if she had extended it longer, it would have been a March release). So, it's completely possible that she may follow this trend.

Considering that three months seems to be the current minimum, would two months (April 8th; her anniversary) really be impossible? Probably not. I reckon this will be the most likely for A BEST 3...
