SUMMER PARTY for 48 hours straight on Nico Nico Live!
 

http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv102466895
From 10PM 8/9 Japan time to 10PM 8/11 Japan time.

The "SUMMER PARTY" is a 48 hour long stream where they're playing all of her albums, some PVs (the songs that have PVs will have them shown), and CMs for all of her singles/albums. It's quite fun but a lot of the premium members keep kicking me out. (On Niconama / Nicolive broadcasts, if there are too many viewers, regular accounts get kicked out when premiums come in) You might get kicked out while watching, but you can just press back and reenter. You may have to be wary since premium members come in really often and kick out the 'free' members.

If you don't have a NicoNico account, get one at www.niconico.com and then use that account to log in at the Japanese site. It should work.

Live polls are being conducted during the broadcast which will result in "Ayu's XXXX song medleys" being available on dwango and mu-mo later, I believe.

If you want to participate in the polls:
There's also another option for seasons where the top left = spring, top right = summer, bottom left = fall, bottom right = winter.

There's also a special shop opened on mu-mo for 2 days that offers a B2 poster to anyone who purchases from it.

Here are the show contents and schedule in Japanese and in Japan time.

Right now they're on the first playthrough and on A BEST 2 -BLACK-.

The portion of the image with 180,156 is the visitor count (I don't think it's current... probably cumulative?) and the 97,151 is the comment count of the scrolling comments if you're familiar with NicoNico. People can comment on videos and they scroll across the screen. You can also turn it off.

Still a little over a day and a half left! Been going on for 13 hours and 97k comments+ posted with over 180k+ people and counting checking it out? Should go up later when people get home in Japan~

this is pretty cool!
48 hour summer party!!
AWESOME!

http://puu.sh/QhoY

Lots of viewers in the last 10 mins or so... I wonder what this will top out at?

wowwwwww...this is...Ayu's career in 48 hours O.O

Awesome!!! Gonna listen to this!! :D :love

Her entire career twice. Haha.

That's pretty awesome.
BUT nothing you can't do at home with some speakers. (although I wouldn't want to play ASfXX on the speakers in consideration of my neighbours).

Well, it's partly a release celebration since this is her 20th album overall [best+original+mini] I think. HEAVEN from A BEST BLACK is on right now.

It's also to promote A SUMMER BEST and give people a chance to choose what will be in some chaku uta medleys.

I love it!!! We should have these more often :thud :innocent


EDIT: part of Me is on now!! :love :love :love

And they had a poll: When do you listen to part of Me? They had 4 options I picked when I want to cry :cry And many said that too!


A SUMMER CM was on, and now A BEST 2 -WHITE- starts with evolution!!

Ahh! The A SUMMER BEST CM is playing! It's so cute!

A BEST 2 WHITE just started up with evolution's PV.

I love how they play the lyrics and the way ayu sings xD Soo adorable

They also had another poll about your favorite music genre, Jpop won :P

Independent is on now! I forgot how much I love this song! :heart:heart

I really wish A and H's songs had PVs. It'd have been so epic!

Humming 7/4 from A BEST 2 WHITE is on now!

Watching it now! Really cool!

im so jealous right now!
:*( wish I could watch it too!
But im glad they are doing this...
although I thought all her songs were longer then 2 days...
this is just the ones with PV's right?

This is all 20 albums and the ones with PVs are shown with PVs.

cool! im watching now, Inspire

lol many fans found ourselves scary and can't understand it XD

The end is always soooo damn scary :thud


I LOVE INSPIRE :love

this is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!

i guess we are now at A Best White??

so many fans love Step You! haha 1234 U & Me xDDDD

how do you vote on the poll or make a comment? I don't know any Japanese! I'm listening but I have no idea what's happening on the box on the right!

The polls pop up and you just press on the option you want!
To comment type in the boxes under the video~~~　first box to the left is to pick a color and type in the second box! And to finish press the yellow button that says "komento" in katakana!

The box on the right displays the comments that are being displayed on screen.

To vote, you just click what you think the song fits into.

This is the box you type your comments into. Click the green one to change the colors/alignment.

i dont know how to vote and plus dont understand it xD

why is everyone writing 888888888???

Aww I got goosebumps with Voyage XD

Moments is on now!

888888888888 is like clapping.

Hooray the GUILTY album is next!

OMFG SOOOO MANY MEMORIES!!!!!

:cry:cry

:love:love


GUILTY was my first ayu album that I bought, EVER!!! OMGG!!

MTE. :luv2 One of my favorite albums. I was actually planning to play Sims 3 today but I don't know if I can pull myself away from this, my brain is overloaded with Ayu-happiness.

(don't) leave me alone

The ultimate fierce get the **** away from me song!!!

IKR? I love this album, but haven't listened to it (or watched the PVs) in so long. I'm so excited! :luv2

same here!! when im still a newbie it's so hard to find this album,saving money and very happy when i bought it!!! :love

Talkin 2 myself!! One of my favorite songs!!

I didn't know how to buy online, and one of my friends was going to Japan during the release of GUILTY, so I asked if she would buy it for me, and she agreed :D

She got the poster too, which I also still have :love

YAYAYAYAYAY *burst into excitement*



EDIT: btw one of the polls that pops of regularly asks: When do you want to listen to (example: talkin' 2 myself)?

Options are

Top left: When you want to make yourself feel better/cheer up(?) - Most people vote for this when it's a fierce song :lech
Top right: When you want to cry
Bottom left: When you want to concentrate
Bottom right: When you want to relax

Talkin' 2 Myself this song is freaking rock and fierce!!!! best Ayu rock song!! remember got excited when saw they played this PV on TV!!

i don't know which buttons to push to watch the stream.

i just want to watch it for free :(

You just need to create an account.
If you have a facebook you can use your facebook to log in.
They ask you for a password and a question where I just typed in whatever lol.
Then you can watch it!

Create an account and log in (if you haven't already) then go to this link:
http://live.nicovideo.jp/watch/lv102466895
The stream should start automatically.

another freaking godly song Guilty, Ayuuuuu you need to perform this live!

Agreed. I'm in love with this song, and I'm quite curious to how it would sound when she sings it live with her current vocals. Her vocals have been so amazing lately (in my opinion), I think she could make this song even more awesome with them.

^
yepp i think her current vocal will suit this song :)

fated <3 many votes no 2 for it,yes indeed a sad lovely song <3

edit: Ayu as a bride-to-be is the most gorgeous ever!

fated and now Together when... omg :cry:cry

ARGH! I forgot how sad the Together When... PV is!! ::cries::

Marionette is next! YAY!! :heart

Marionette is freaking creepy and one of her best!!!

NEXT LEVEL is my favorite ayu album ever :love It flows soooooo well, I can't stop listening!

Lots of people saying that NEXT LEVEL is an amazing album. It really is!

I really love this idea of promotion. Very cheap and look how many people tuned in!

I don't think I'll get a chance to check it out myself as work is getting me all over the place today but the idea is wonderful <3

Sure, I could do it at home, but this is all prepared on a silver platter so to speak xD I'm glad lots of people are tuning in, she's probably getting a boost after the FNS appearance as people remembered she exists lol

It'll be on tomorrow too if you're free! 216,000 visitors and counting! I wonder if this will hit 1 million by the end of it all.

I'm so upset at me having to work tomorrow otherwise I would seriously sit in front of my computer and watch it.
Like I'm almost on the verge of tears.
Stupid me being overly emotional ><

Just joined; figures it's right before the break :P

oh i forgot,since this started last nite 22h Japan time so until this evening ,it's only one day and we got another one day tomorrow,yaay going to listen it again from the beginning

Ayu is watching too ^^

http://t.co/tOKuV9IO

If I wasn't so busy today, I'd participate too. I'll just have to listen to my entire Ayu discography instead.

We're on FIVE now.
I really wanna see the excitement when A Song for XX starts up.

I wish I'd watched this earlier so I could see the earlier albums

It'll start all over again with "A Song for XX" in appr. 4hrs, I believe. :)

This is sooo freaking cool! I love how this reminds us y we love Ayu sOO much! Each album definitely brings back different memories. Awesome promotion

I listened to this yesterday already, and now continuing~ Currently, Party Queen is playing~

Can someone translate the poll options? :3

Someone said that 2 is "sad, lovely", I think, and 1 seems to be something like "upbeat" (EnergizE got a lot of votes on that option). Marionette -Prelude- got a lot of 3 I think, and 4 I don't know.
In other words, I have no idea. :D

It's asking when do you like to listen to this song?

Top-Left: When you want to lift up your spirit
Top-Right: When you want to cry
Bottom-Left: When you want to concentrate
Bottom-Right: When you want to relax

Thank you so much~ Now I can vote! ^ __ ^
But those selfish premium members keep kicking me out a lot : < That's really mean!

Really? I haven't been kicked out for several hours now... :O I just assumed not many people were awake in Japan (or the rest of the world) during this time of day.
EDIT: Why did BLUE BIRD end so suddenly? O_O It just cut-off to July 1st in the middle of the PV...
EDIT 2: Oh so that's actually supposed to happen? Huh...

The premium members are not doing it on purpose... it kind of just automatically happens.

Also, it depends on your seating. Seems like "arena" seats get taken up by premium while the ones that aren't as good are not as prone to being taken. You kind of have to hope you don't get an 'arena' one since the premiums tend to take those.

The A SUMMER BEST tracks and pvs are not complete, but the other albums are all full tracks ^^

I'm excited for You & Me and ASFXX lol :P

It's probably because A SUMMER BEST was just released, haha.

ASFXX is way after a set of CMs and some Ayu-request section... stinks that the older albums have such an odd spot, haha.

They should add some lives in there :P Some pvs are gonna get repeated who knows how many times :thud

I guess I won't be able to listen to ASFXX because it'll be too late in here then.

great...:(

i don't need to do a account just to watch one thing...

They're on ASB now :D :D Hanabi just finished and it's episode II now haha

Pretty cool though :)

Saw quite a few comments on her low voice when it reach talkin' 2 myself's commercial...lol...wonder if that was a good or bad thing

edit:

I got to vote from GUILTY until Party Queen, and I voted for Together When... too! I can't remember what I said for GUILTY the song though lol

It's starting again!!!

Now there is different questions!

Can someone translate?~

Which season is "the song name in here" for you?

top left: spring
top right: summer
bottom left: autumn
bottom right: winter

I think :D lol

Haha, during hana, I told that in Finnish, hana can mean faucet. Some users lol'd at that XD

There's good vibes in NicoNico among ayu fans!~ I love this marathon~

There's a probability that Avex going to release A WINTER BEST, A SPRING BEST and A AUTUMN BEST....unless she's gonna release an album called A SPRING ROLL BEST. LOL!

I'm loving this but I got kicked after awhile because I don't have a premium account. Do I really have to upgrade?

no, just refresh the page until you get in again! :D

Thanks, that's what I'll do then. This is so much fun!

Yea...i started getting ideas of that...like this was just ONE survey they were doing...pfft...I could barely imagine how the DVDs of those would be if they did...

Omg no XD Don't even mention that!! AVEX will get ideas :innocent

They would rape her discography, it would be horrible D:

Cant believe I just listened to A Song For XX from start to end LOL!!! Honestly, if not for PCDL, songs like SIGNAL and Hana, would have been unknown and un-loved by me hheh..and I would probably not have gave POWDER SNOW eternal love too

LOL same here thanx to PCDL if not i wouldnt have listened to ASFXX xDDD


yaay! now is LOVEppears album! omg been so long didnt listen to Trauma and now Immature! i freaking love this song,great performance at CDL04-05 :luv2:luv2:luv2

P.S ||, i seriously didnt pay much attention to this song,even the title is interesting and wow the chorus is actually sounds like Powder Snow :thud

^ it's meant to sound like Power Snow - P.S II -> Powder Snow II!

P.S II is "Powder Snow II"

oh yeah!
For those of you...who are new to NICO NICO, and if you're going to use foul language at the comment bellow. I give you a warning...the staff will kick you out from the video too. This also includes, spamming.

i see! :thud


ah why they didnt show the PV for appears and WHATEVER?

so late but that is pretty cool

why are they not showing the PV's?! :(

I think for Loveppears it's because they played the album versions, which are different to the PV versions?

Which makes sense, but is kind of silly too.

^

just those 2 so far for her older albums,else they did show her PVs

Duty now,omg! a haunted song,still got goosebumps! *_____*

wow...this is cool...
Vogue right now

²
Duty was my first Ayu Song *_* (Don´t count starting over as it´s a intro xD)

^

ahaha,but i love starting over,one of her best interlude

Just tuned in again and it's Boys and Girls...so I'm guessing we're on A BEST now? Awesome! I can't wait to get to I Am...

too late here now,wonder if many japanese will still awake even at the very late at night O.O

I've had that before when I was trying Nicolive shows out... (No wonder why there was a Sayuri Sugawara Nico Chao! broacasted earlier Friday night, but I intentionally *skipped* and wait for timeshift due to concerns about capacity, but it was not really a problem when the show happened...)

Anyways, I did have a look-in earlier while I was getting Nico Chao! timeshift set up. At least this is not geoblocked (and so does Nico Chao! as well, in my case) to provide global coverage, which was anticipated, unlike some other shows by Avex and its artists (or certain other labels)...

...just imagine - what if this "party" was GEOBLOCKED? That would be a no-no...

What? That's ****ing stupid. I wouldn't use Nico Nico at all if that kept happening to me.

i just tuned in...and 86% of people listen to Greatful Days when they want to cry???? o_O

The poll question has changed. It now asks which season you think the song fits best to, 1 is spring, 2 is summer, 3 is autumn, and 4 is winter. :)

HAHA, ok! i was wondering what was going on!
