Thanks for the news, skal. Here's hoping for a good line-up.

thanks, hope ayu is there

hmmm... if ayu perform... she has to perform new song heheheh

thanks for the info, hope ayu will perform

hmm...dont know this musical band. What is their musical style nmskalmn?

Its a concert held annually that consists of all (well ... not ALL but you know) artists on the avex label

^oops ><...thanks for that *embarrased*

thx for the news!

If Ayu doesn't perform then avex has gone insane, she's always their biggest star at the thing.

Hope Ai gets in there with more stuff than last year's >_<

Thanks for the info ^__^

Hope ayu will peform a lot, and the DVD will include lots of her footage - another ayu-ralated-dvd to buy for me then ;)

cool!

thanks for info!!!!

Thanks for the news! I'd expect Ayu to be one of the artists.

Thanks for the info! I'll stay tuned for the artist line up!

thanks for the info

ooo...interestin'!
thanks for the info!

thanks for the info. i hope the line-up is good!

yay~ thanks for the news!

Anyone make an artist+song request yet?

My request:Ai Otsuka's FRIENDS -sabakan ver.-

I love that song!! :)

I want Ayu to perform 'Memorial address -take 2 version-' and 'ANGEL'S SONG'!!! I wouldn't mind a performance of 'STEP you' either...gawd damn I LOVE 'STEP you'.

And I agree with you BanFan Ai better perform that song and 'Daisuki Dayo'!!!

I really really hope this years a-nation is good the past 2 weren't very spectacular... Ayu was a lot better last year than in '03 though so there's hope for a really good a-nation this year.

Thank you for keep up on the news.

I hope Ayu will perform!

I think this years will be better because DAI will probably do 'For the future' and Ai will get a lot more since she's proven she can sell a lot, and it seems whoever sells the most, next to Ayu (who always gets the big finale), gets more/better songs.

OOOO!! I REALLY hope ayu will preform!! =D ANd shimatani hitomi too! whee!

Hope Ayu will be there. :D thx for info...

i do hope that otsuka ai and shimatani hitomi will perform!! WHEE~

Awesome! I'm curious about the lineup, and hope Ayu's there of course...

i'm pretty sure that ayu still the leader artist from avex
and she will perform there, hope she will sing her new single
she usually release a new single around that time
i think ai, namie, BoA, DAI, ELT, EXILE will perfoming there
i agree with opat tanya coo, i want hitomi shimatani and namie performing there
and AVEX NEW ARTIST BENI ARASHIRO
just wait and see

thx for the info,i wish i could be there then

thanx for the info^^

i hope hamasaki will be there and perform STEP you like in the a-nation 04 she performed INSPIRE,

thanks for the info!

Yea I want Hitomi Shimatani to perform too :D but last year she didn't.. -.-;

I don't think Shimatani has ever been in a-nation... she SHOULD be though!

thank you very much for this news! I wish I could go there, too!!

another one of the music biggest and happening event! great! although i can't be there, but i think i'll be waiting for the vcd to be out! i hope ayu will be there to sing her latest songs

Other than Ayu, I don't really dig the Avex brand of music.

The a-nation site hasn't been updated yet, but the entertainment newspapers are reporting that Ami Suzuki will be there, in addition to the Ayu and the avex regulars.
