2004/2005 Tour (info removed)
 

Sorry... just reading that by having joined TeamAyu, I am not supposed to reveal information received through emails and/or from the TeamAyu website. Not sure if/how someone could find out, but I don't want to risk anything.

For now, could someone delete this thread? More information will be revealed officially soon I'm sure.

cool! Thnx for the news~

OMG 2004-2005 Tour WHOOT!!! Means PROBABLY A 7TH ALBUM!!! Yay... even though I can't view the info I'm guessing it'll have lots of new songs from her next album... eekrs I'm getting really excited ^___^, wonder what the theme of this concert will be.

ahem... Yes Detsuya Domokan your violation of your membership agreement has been reported. hehehe

THX for leaking out the info
FYI, TeamAyu member do it all the time, see how we always get our hands on the dairies, behide the scene photos, TA videos and such, you're not the first, not the only, and won't be the last.

BUT!!! Since you cannot prove you are actually a team member, and we don't have other team members' backing of this yet, I say let's label this as RUMOR as it is for now

He IS a member of Team ayu.

Thanks for the info matt.

Note:i realize this was posted b4....but it was taken down due to the posters will..so...yeah..o.o

Thank god, this means that 2004 will not be ayu's last year *sigh of relief*

Thanks Tim.

I'll be in Japan for the CDL part. Hopefully I can manage to get tickets somehow. ;___;

Good For U !

wowow!!! i wanna go to Japan!!

Anyone in Team Ayu wanna buy tickets for me (I'd pay them back of course)? I want good seats! Haha.

i'm glad too! :D what with all the rumors floating around .. made me think that we may not see Ayumi around .. for an extended period ...putting it lightly

gah. i wish i lived in japan.
i'm glad she isn't quitting so soon. :]

theres stilll the possibility she'll announce her retirement at the last concert or something..--"

*rejoices* thank you!!!

I feel like attending her concert >.<ll nv attend to any concert b4 in my life :cry

0o0o im going to japan in november next year, that sux coz if they have arena tour 2005-2006 it would prob start in december :( but still, the more concerts ayu has the better - she's a great performer :D i'm so glad to hear she's working hard. some artists take really long haitus thingys and its no fun

That's SO cool! Thanks for posting this info!

Thanks for the info - wish I could go to one... :yes

thanks for the info~~~!

wow.. insider information, I wonder how much the days and detailswill change back and forth between now and then

How you know? You too know each other personally?

Why are you even arguing over such a trivial issue?

I am a member of TeamAyu, wether you want to believe it or not. I personally couldn't care.

The reason I edited my original post was because as a member of TeamAyu (which is by no means cheap to join), I realised 2 things. People pay to join because of their like for Ayu, and people want the exclusive information and oppurtunites that the fanclub offers. People wouldn't pay for this stuff if it was available freely.

Is this fair to fans from other countries? Maybe not. But I decided it wasn't my place to leak this information out. If someone else wants to (which they have) then fine, but I didn't want it to be me.

I'm glad we have these performances to look forward to, and really hope that this isn't a farewell tour. Fingers crossed for Arena Tour 2004-2005.

I'd really like to join Team Ayu, but I don't understand Japanease.
And it's nice to know of an upcoming tour, but she could have changed the name ¬¬' Arena again? =P
But okay, let's hope it's awesome as her previous one!

as much as i loved the arena tour 2002-2003, i'm getting kind of tired of it. she shoudl go back to domes or something.

is there really a diffference between dome/arena/stadium..o.o?

the DOME is definetly different cos it's in a ..well DOME^^


i prefer STADIUM TOURs ^^*

that STADIUM TOUR 2002 is my favourite concert, *massive* outside 'castle' stadium-type thing was amazing~




.ビクター

One difference is the size of the venue. If I'm not mistaken, the 'domes' have capacities of 50,000+. The arenas and stadiums are smaller, maybe 10,000-20,000.

Obviously. Why would I even bother if I didn't? Stop being an idiot.

The Dome is just the size...it's not really effecting the way the show is put on. All it means is that there have to be more and bigger screens since a lot more people can't actually see more than a spec on stage.

And when she did her first Dome tour, she was the only female solo artist who was able to sell out a Dome completely...I don't know if she has that power anymore.

Yar, it might be getting kind of hard. In fact, I doubt any of the artistes in Japan nowadays have the power to create a total sellout for a Dome Tour. It's definitely getting harder and harder for the J-pop industry ...

But I hope Ayu does a Dome Tour. Those are the kind of tours that are like SUPERB! Spectacular! Just imagine half a million people in those Domes! Yar, I think Avex is just leaning on the safe side so that they don't incur losses if less people go for her concerts.

it was more than just a bigger dome. the whole show wwas different.

But all her shows are different. Sorry, I just don't get what you're trying to get at. Both Arena Tours so far have been completely different, with the exception of a few songs that she performed (and always performs). Dome Tour was great, but not because it was in a Dome.

Just want to make sure the source is creditable that's all. (Don't think that's trivial to news reporting).

Anyway, I didn't mean anything harsh personally to anyone here. Just want things to be clear and accurate, the standards that I think AHS goes by. If I'm mistaken in anyway. Feel welcome to slap me hard.

I am only a human, and it's the natural instinct for a human to be an idiot.

How can people abroad get tickets? Is there an equivalalent of ticketmaster.com ? I have to go.

Why are Ayu always combining her CDLive with her main annual tour recently...? I mean.. cant she have anything during the summer like she usually did =(

I think they do that now so her concerts don't compete with the a-nation tour.

The official site was updated with the CDL info:

Ask you travel agent, go to the a-nation website and order or telephone them

The concert info has been added at Ayu's official site:

http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/news/041101.html

Could you shove me into your suitcase? :D :yes
;)
Honestly though, I'd love to see Ayu in Osaka.. that's the city in Japan I really really really want to go to.
Anyhow, I hope you have a great time and do not forget to take lots of piccies and buy lots of merchandise :D
Hmm, more Ayu concerts = a new DVD? :D

Thanks for the news! T__T I wanna be there... -_-

I'm waiting to see some Ayu Fans pictures from the trip, eh huh.

I've only been to the airport in Osaka before; wish I had more time to explore the city. :(

And yes, I'll take lots of pics and post them. Also I'm sure I'll go broke buying the merchandise. :)

Don't want to brag, well maybe if only a bit :P Only 2 more sleeps untill I'll be at Osaka-jo Hall seeing Ayu on Wednesday night. This is the first time Ayu has come to me and I haven't had to travel. All the other times I've had to travel to her. Welcome to Osaka, Ayu!

It would be great if you could post a set list and review of the show after you've seen it. :)

Hah! Ayu comes to you?! that's a nice way to put it .. hehe
