Nice logo!
Ayu probably is not going to join?
It is good for her to take a break. It is bad for us can't see her in a-nation.

To busy with the tour maybe? O.o

And btw, nice looking theme!

OMG.. lovely logo but where the * is Ayu's name? How can Avex leave her out of such an important event!? If Ayu's not going to attend, Koda Kumi will definitely perform last and steal the show.. =/

^ LOL steal the show.

I think they will add her there later. Although it wouldn't surprise me if she didn't attend it this year.

Maybe, Ayu prepare a Stadium Tour 2008 LoL
Or, she is very very tired :(

or Open Air 2008.

She need a break tbh.

hmm i was kinda happy for just a moment that ayu isnt performing for a-nation cos it means that ayu MIGHT take a break OR focus on her ASIA　ＴＯＵＲ 2008!!

but oh well.. a-nation is gonna go overseas as well too..

Ayu is leaving the music business: confirmed.


No not really; she has more important things to do peerhaps?

maybe will be surprise from Ayu...all people being think that she not come on A-nation:scry and then she is will appear from a hole in the floor and :strike:shimmy:banana1:banana2:bshake

waowww don't tell me that ayu doesn't attend a-nation 08 because she needs to do the ASIA TOUR 08 at HK, TAIWAN and Shanghai?????

*no wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!*

Maybe becaues she won't release a summer single? :P

maybe ayu will busy with at08 overseas tours :D either way, she needs a break from work :yes

We all know that ayu is not going to take a break, she has tour dates during the whole summer and then the Taiwan and Hong Kong performances.
And maybe she will work on a new single too which maybe won't be a summer single.

Ehh.....Kuu has showed the show from Ayu for 2+ years now. (^-^'')

This is really weird!
I wonder why Ayu is not included on the artist list for A-Nation?

Is there really something wrong?

she will finish her japan tours on June...
and usually she will join a-nation 08 for July and August...but now?? why not??
why i kinda think that Ayu'll have the rest of her ASIA TOUR 08 among those 2 months???

*please don't ayu!!!*

She actually didn't, they always put ayu's show the last that all of the people that are coming will stay until the end, and they put more performances of ayu on the DVD, hence why :o

maybe she's goin to continue her ASIA TOUR OS so she doesnt have really much time?
coz probably she's gonna recycle her AT08 performance again
wow until the last day 8/31 no ayu at all lol
this year she's gonna be so busy and make excuses for her not performing LOL

ahh, i more hoping she'll go MTV VMA Japan 1st...

that is strange, whats the point taking A-Nation overseas if there's no Ayu?

^ haha

Maybe she's just 'expected' to show, so they don't need to advertise her?

Sometimes I wish that they will exclude ayu from a-nation' just for the sake that she won't release a summer song lol.

I think Ayu is going to continue her ASIA TOUR overseas performance in July & August.
Hope Ayu will perform in the last show of a-nation'08

a break and/or Asia Tour!

Ugh, no Ayu?! But yay for Suzuki Ami! :)

I think, she is busy because of her Asia Tour. So... there is no time to go to A-Nation.
A little break would be nice for her. So... this year, A-Nation is without Ayu... maybee next year, she is still performing there.

wooah! I'm sad that ayu will not go to A-nation this year. I got use to her as the finale and it really disappointed me knowing this news... But is it already confirmed that Ayu will not join? I hope not :( I'm gonna find more source... LOL...

i'm happy for the other artists, but ayu should be there. :(

Heeee, that took me by surprise. Maybe she has something in store for us? Or maybe she's just taking a break?

She's probably just busy for the Asia Tour. Or they expect her to be there, so what's the point in advertising her? There could be lots of reasons.

geez, how lame. a-nation won't be the same thing without ayu.
I'm hoping she will make a surprise appearance.

NO AYU?! WOW...looks like she will held her asia tour around a-nation 08 tour dates...

Shame, I always love her a-nation goods XD

I hope she is going :/

Ew that means Koda will finish the show this year. How disappointing. D:

a bit disappointed with it...a nation is one of the main event to maintain one's popularity~hopefully everyone will still likes ayu as usual in Japan


PS:and i strongly AGREE that a nation means NOTHING without ayu in it...blame it on fate...and does so many unpleasant things happening to her since last year...

Ayu is gonna be in Singapore then
HAHAHAHHA

surprise to us? maybe...

no hitomi... :cry

Seriously...it's her 10th Anniversary. She can't NOT be in it. They must be plotting something.

ayu will be there :D She won't be taking a break and her Asia Tour is supposed to be over before then. She's probably just not mentioned for the fact that she is obviously going to be there. She's avex's icon for god sake :P

Also did anyone notice that the a-nation symbol seems to have drawn from ayu's 10th anniversary theme??

I love the logo...
Why didn't they include Ayu?! I love her A-nation performances.

ya~ Ayu is probably busy for her Asia Tour!

but did u guys see the "... and more" part??

probably ayu belongs to that..

^ do you mean hitomi will be there?? :D

i dont think so... ayu is diva dude~ and i htink diva's name will be the headliner~

but of course they will have some exception

She's probably just going to be busy with her tour, or maybe she'll make a surprise appearance. :)

yeah..just like the previous years..
Ayu's name is always on the list.. and the "more..." part is actually belong to the artists who will be as the opening acts or something..
Ayu has always been the avex's star..

Maybe because it IS her 10th Anniversary. So Avex wants to capitalise and have 2 different shows. One is A-nation, and the other is Ayu 10th Anniversary. ;);):ybiggrin:ytongue

thats kinda shock..did not see it coming...anyway is good seeing ayu take a break..she is tired i guess..or may be have special performances ..hu hu^^

She will probably either make a surprise appearance or she won't be there. If she is not going to be there, then I am kinda happy because a-nation does not compare to her summer tours. Its her 10th anniversary, this is big, ASIA TOUR 2008 has to be OFF THE HOOK, it can't be any less. If she decides not to participate in a-nation 08, then maybe she will have more time to work on AT 08 and make improvements on it.

I think that they'll announce Ayu later. :shrug

I hear yeah. I hope she's there the last day or something.

yea.. a 10th anniversary, a-nation should have a surprise from ayu as their main artist!!

Who knows... ayu couldn't start performing on A-nation till it was half-way through last year. Maybe since she's got more work cut-out for her 10th, she's missing it completely...

maybe she's not in a-nation since she's already busy with asia tour 08..

a-nation starts in late july/august XD Asia Tour should be done by the time it starts XD I think that atm they couldn't confirm if Ayu will be there. But one thing is certain, it's not an a-nation if it doesn't have Ayu.

I want her in this a nation :(

I think it's obvious she's not on the list cuz she's obviously always in a-nation because obviously she's avex superstar and its 20th anniver. obviously can't be without Hamasaki, its ridiculous

she might be added later? surprise appearence? hmm, it is Avex's 20th anniversary..but oh well if she doesnt go :-\ i hope TRF takes her spot if she doesnt go, tho :D it's be awesome if ayu did another stadium tour, hehehehe--but it's probably like what everyone else says. she's probably taking a break and/or focusing on the asia tour *shrugs*

It's a shame, her a-nation performances have usually been fun.

Ami Suzuki is opening it, again. :P

1st the logo is awesome!
2nd

WHAT? NO AYU? :scry
but maybe it's because of her tour?

That's weird XD
It took me a while to realize that the "A" in A-Nation was for "avex" and not "Ayumi" when I first found out about it XD
I don't care about it much though, so if Ayu will spend her time working on more important things instead, I'll be happy ^______^ It's her 10th anniversary, she ought to be busy, right?

I am actually glad that ayu is not on a nation this year. She needs a break and hopefully she will come out with better songs.

^Agreed. :)

I does not sound weird to me.
SAfter the awful performance of last year... it is normal this year, insted of repeating the error, take a break

Awww. Too bad lol.

This is weird, but I think its probably a a new PR tactic. They'll say that Ayu isn't there, and then surprise up later with a big AYU-tribute and then Ayu will mysteriously appear---all of this on the final night. Maybe that's it, or am I just dreaming too much?

oo nice logo! aww no ayu?...well she's going to be so busy with AT08 so you can't expect her to do everything

well, you know the "and more..." part? maybe ayu's one of those artists? lol. they just didn't mention her on the front page of the website or whatever. :P but she'd still be there?

Logo is.. Ayuish? Wtf? The same concept haha.. Hm... yes, maybe a break. I would like to see her perfom though :( A NATION is fun

Oh well, she would have probably performed the same songs she always performs anyway :o

wow i love that logo =\
it looks...awesome xD
but ummm, yeaaa if ayu aint in it, then it is probably because she is busy enough with AT08 =D

Hmmm... Either she's going to hop aboard or she's too busy with her Asia Tour. Would this be the first time she didn't do A-Nation?

One A-Nation without Ayu isn't a A-Nation :(

^ totally agree......!!

There will be no "A-Nation" at all if there's no ayu since the first time it held in Japan...

But, if the reason is all about ayu's decisions not to perform at this year A Nation, then it's OK !! She needs a break....

And plus, we can finally save our money, no need to buy the "A Nation without Hamasaki Ayumi 2008" DVD !!

Haha probably. Knowing the *****s at avex and all this 10th anniversary business.

Or maybe she's quitting.


I can't believe I just said that

Its just not A-nation... if Ayu's not there :(

It sucks that she isn't there...but I'm really happy that she is finally not over working for ONCE.

TRF AND AMI YAH :luv2:luv2

Under the names, it says that these are only the artists there as of 4/22, and artists may be added at a later time.

Also. TRF will definitely end the concerts... they've done it before :|~

>.< WHY???? I wait all the year for that concert and then happened something like that ¬¬

OK... maybe in that time Ayu is Overseas in her AT08

*stared to cry so hard*

i'm gonna say it again, it will be nothing without ayu, nothing. I'm gonna be reeeeeally pissed off if she doesn't show up at all. I can't stand how they would dare to celebrate avex's anniversary without ayu, after everything she's done for them.

I hope it's a sign that she is leaving Avex, going to a new company \o/ or probably funding her own

^in your dream...eh?! hahaha

Her a-nation performances really haven't been wowing me since 2005 and she's so busy this year, being that it's her anniversary (especially with her extended tour).

If she's not one of the performers, I wouldn't be surprised nor disappointed. Her a-nation performances are nice to see, but, yeah.

I doubt that she is taking a break. I'm guessing that there may be something like A-Museum coming in the Fall or something.

^i really really hope so!!!! that would be AMAZING!!!!

I think that either TRF will close the shows or Kumi. They're the two most likely possibility. It really is in the air. I think there really is a good chance that Kuu will close it because she's the other powerhouse girl of avex.

It's strange that A-Nation 08 doesn't have Ayu, AT08 probably taking too much of her time (and energy), however it's more likely that she has something else to do during that time, and will only appears in the final a-nation show.

btw if it's not Ayu closing the show, I hope it's going to be TRF =D

after thinking it for a while, its ridiculous if there is no ayu at a-nation08
and this year is 20th anniversary of AVEX, maybe ayu will show at the final show though

dun worry, i juz revise the web, there only write 1st press release the artist to be on Anation, who knows, ayu might announced in the nxt round soon... the best always save to last...

I had a thought..

What if they dedicate a section of a-nation to Ayu only, kinda closing off the concert with ayu-nation instead? Which would explain the lack of Ayu on the webpage as of now..

It'd be nifty if they did that sort of thing, since this whole "LINE UP!" released with no Ayu => pretty alarming..

Well...I never watched A-nation so I can't say much but I think this is a good thing. She needs a break right now. It must be tiring doing concerts every week...(I dunno XD it seems like every week.)

I somehow thought that too...XD

Omg that sounds amazing lol, it'll be awesome if it was like that...

-

Lol coincidentally when i was at the food court today a-nation 06 was playing in all the TV's lol. !!! Too bad i left before ayu came out LOL. But everybody was watching mihimaru GT's performance lol.

OMG your food court plays japanese stuff!?!?!?! =\

Maybe she's in the "...and more!" category? LOL?

and where is BoA?! ;_;

i think Avex will add in her name soon. lol.
:O
