Ayu to appear at a-nation '10
Just got an email from TA--
Ayu WILL be appearing at a-nation this year; she was one of the artists announced in the first round along with TRF, Every Little Thing, Do As Infinity, Koda Kumi, Ai Otsuka, Ami Suzuki, ICONIQ, AAA, and GIRL NEXT DOOR. More artists to be announced later. But, dates are also out (note, Ayu is not guaranteed to appear at every date.) 8/7 (Sat): Ehime Prefectural Sports Complex 8/14 (Sat): Port Messe Nagoya 8/21 (Sat): Nagai Stadium (Osaka) 8/22 (Sun): Nagai Stadium (Osaka) 8/28 (Sat): Ajinomoto Stadium (Tokyo) 8/29 (Sun): Ajinomoto Stadium (Tokyo) Hopefully they'll be adding more dates...six shows? That seems pretty sparse. |
thanks ^___^ thats great as usual
|
Yay! That's great to hear...
|
first round? Nice nice..Hope she has time for a new summer single :P
|
didn't she only do like that many or less last year? Six isn't unheard of for Ayu I think...
a-nation is where one of my favorite performances took place, can't wait :D |
thanks for sharing~
I wonder on how many lives she'll attend... |
Quote:
Looks like Ayu will probably have September tour dates... |
I wonder how the performance this year..
thanks for the info |
I wonder what she'll perform... Maybe she'll surprise us by only performing "flower garden" and walking off the stage smiling :)
|
thanks for the news! AT10 barely started and ayu signed up for a-nation! that's fast!
|
Awesome awesome :) Hope she does release a summer single, and I hope she performs somre more old songs (monochrome again, please? @__@)
|
wow, it's almost that time of the year again. time flies by fast. :tipsy can't wait to see ayu at a-nation! i'm relieved to see GIRL NEXT DOOR as well, lol.

It's not a guarantee that Ayu will perform on all these dates either, so keep that in mind, people! |
Quote:
Or maybe they will announce September dates? |
Quote:
I just realized Tohoshinki wasn't mentioned in the first round announcement....I'm a little shocked. :thud |
Quote:
Like Ayu didn't appear until the 4th/5th round last year, haha. |
thanks for the info!
even though it's kind of early announcement.. but glad that she'll be attending a-nation 2010! |
thank you~!
I'd be worried if Avex didn't put Ayu in a-nation (unless of course her schedule won't let her be part of a-nation)! |
Quote:
I say I'm shocked because the number of die-hard Tohoshinki fans at a-nation is crazy insane, like, there's enough of them to invade a small country. I'm just surprised they didn't announce them in the first round to drive up the hype some more. Quote:

Quote:
I can definitely see avex holding them up until the 4th or 5th reveal just to make Toho fans wet their pants. Or perhaps they are unsure if the group will still be together in August? |
Nice!!
Nagoya is not too far from Yamanashi :D how much does usually a-nation ticket cost? |
They're 7,800 yen...cheaper than a ticket for Ayu's concert, lol.
|
Quote:
I love a-nation :P It always gets me pumped for summer. I can't wait to see ayu, AAA, Kuu and ICONIQ :D |
Quote:
|
Well, cpm, remember that Ayu is trying to make this tour the best in Ayu history, haha. She can't charge her usual 7800 yen, I suppose.
-sigh- I guess we'll see when 04/10 comes around! |
Quote:
|
Oh yes, Jwiz, don't forget her new song that will be out via chaku uta that is a medium ballad.
She might be doing some sort of weird compilation release again... |
Quote:
|
I hope they start building a bigger stage~
|
Quote:
It really doesn't make sense now that you mention it. Just where is that extra 700yen multiplied times XXX,000 tickets going to go? Hm... I guess it could be because a-nation generally doesn't have to build its own stage from scratch and etc? They appear to use the same-ish set up every time with slight alterations after all, hm... |

I'm glad that it's already confirmed she will be in a-nation!
There's no a-nation without ayu :D |
From a-nation's website
Spoiler:
|
yayyy! happy for a-nation and cant wait to see Ayu-nation XD
|
Excited about A Nation
Sounds like fun!! Can't wait for Ayu.
|
great as usual!
|
Damn. Not going to be able to go the the tokyo dates. I hope she also performs in Osaka, then I'll go there

There are rumours that their contract with avex ends in June. Normally they just have to sign a new contract and it's over with (better signing a contract every 5 years than signing a contract for 13 years :innocent). The problem is the lawsuit against their company in Korea. Avex can't decide anything without getting permission of SM Entertainment. Avex announced that all plans would continue as planned for 2010 (best album, singles, ...) though. Here is a report about the lawsuit: Spoiler:
|
wow ICONIQ!!! want to see her perform...
but a-nation its still very far...right now my focus is her AT tour |
good!! ayu going :heart she's always the best in a-nation!
i hope to for tohoshinki perfomances :( bdks fightiiing :laugh |
I think she will only go to the last ones.. remember she finish AT 2010 ont he 25/07... she has no time to work properly on a-nation rehearsals...
|
like always it will be AYUMI HAMASAKI and other artist
not that I'm complaining :laugh soooo coool |

The final show she did for AT09 was about a week before the a-nation '09 initial date, haha. (The replacement Osaka show that was canceled due to swine flu...) |
^yeah... but from the official end of the tour (9 July) until the osaka plus shows, she had almost a month ^^
Any way, it wouldn't be the first time, in 2008 she wasn't supposed to attend a-nation, because of the asia dates in autumn, but finnaly she performed in the last 2 shows... I think that's what she's going to do (or sth simmilar LOL) |
Obviously she's going to be there. It should technically be called ayu-Nation.
I wish Namie were going though =( |
I'm sure she'll do at least a couple of shows. They're pre-selling tickets through TA, so by then we'll know how many and which shows she'll be doing. ;)
|
Quote:
Namie and her touring... 73 dates, I think? -blinks- |
^LOL yeah that's crazy... I think her fans would like more singles instead...
|
good to see her at a-nation but I hope she'll take a little rest under the sun. She works so hard!
|
lol i'm never really suprised at the announcements that she'll be performing xD
the announcement i'll wanna know about is when she won't xD then i'd be suprised :O |
ayu-nation again this year, hehe.
|
Yay I can't wait for Ayu-nation !!! :D:D:D
|
ayumi's schedule is busy, of course... but i wonder what avex trax will do to help ayu's health?
|
a nation wouldn't be the same without her! thanks 4 the news
|
Hopefully she'll just perform like 2-3 songs... Because she should rest.
And lol we never know maybe the other singers there are like thinking "Damn you Ayu, Now we have less time" or something like that |
Don't the other singers have full setlists too? I thought they do but they only show all of Ayus and some of theirs...
Also, surprised and excited for ICONIQ! Already headlining a-nation after debuting so recently... |
^i dunno. i thought they did too.
although in regard to ayu . . .umm. . .shes kinda uh up there when it comes to japanese musicians. and for a-nation shes like the finale all the time right? i do understand why they would show all of hers. its kinda makes sense. shes like tradition |
That time again this year huh? Time does go by fast :). I've always wanted to attend a-nation, it sounds so fun, and I would have such awesome memories.

It's kinda stupid to ask this.. but, is a-nation will broadcast in tv? If so, when and what channel? Could we watch it in KHTV? Is it live if it'll broadcast? If not live, when could we watch the record?

It will be on WOWOW usually and that channel is a paid-satellite channel that is not accessible via KeyHole or any other free internet TV service. It is not live. They air it a month or two after it is recorded. |
Ah, I love a-nation :love
Thanks for the info! :D |
http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k1...ion10_vote.jpg
TA members can vote for 3 songs I choose Lady dynamite (ho-ho), Trust and Guilty |
^ Wow, lucky members! Please vote for non-popular songs! If they are aired in TV though :/
|
SLT would be awesome..
|
I really hope she sings HANABI, HANABI ~episode II~, or fairyland.
|
I think she will sing Microphone and July 1st - 100%
MOON or blossom maybe one of new songs if next single will be in august |
i hope that she won't sing a song for xx again and again even i liked it but it's such a boring thing for a-nation. no more please.....
|
Someone please vote ever free. XD
|
I voted for ever free, sexy little things and Last Links!
|
I want that setlist:
1.blossom 2.fairyland 3.New August Pop song 4.Lady Dynamite 5.MOON 6.HEAVEN 7.New August ballad 8.meaning of Love |
I've actually never seen an a-nation. Do they release DVDs of a-nation or am I just out of luck on seeing past performances except on Youtube and torrents?
|
^ There was a DVD of all Ayu's perfs at a-nation up to 2007 on the A COMPLETE box set (^_^) My friend has it, hohoho :) And they also release DVDs of the whole thing, not just Ayu, I think it's called "summer festival"?
|
Summer festival and A COMPLETE box set? Ok...I'll look up summer festival and I think I actually remember someone here on the forum talking about A COMPLETE box set....
|
Can't wait for ayu-nation. I hope she sings another old ballad like she did last year (TO BE). I'm actually wanting her to sing "YOU".
|
The voters on Japanese BBSes seem to be wanting to get kanariya in there, haha.
It'll probably be like this: 01) Microphone 02) ASFXX 03) blossom 04) MOON 05) HANABI or episode II...? (New song maybe?) 06) + or Boys&Girls/evolution 07) Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ 08) July 1st Haha. |
^ omg kanariya, that would be so rare.. but lol that song.. her voice in it is so high pitched I feel like we'd get a ton of screaming
|
aww kanariya would be awesome *_*
|
She does well singing UNITE! chorus (high pitched part) in the concerts, so maybe she would sing kanariya well? But I highly doubt if it ever appear, because I don't see her singing album version nor single version of this song.
|
kanariya - sounds good, but whe i think about it, i just hope she wont mess it up with her fugly backup singers ..
|
kanariya is n-e-v-e-r going to happen.
And for the person who said she does well when she sings UNITE! live, the key of the song is lowered a lot when she sings it live. Still haven't decided what songs to vote for~ |
Quote:
|
I am thinking Microphone. Usually ayu uses one of her Arena tour songs to open a-nation. Something with energy. and that's Microphone.
Lady Dynamite is also possible because it has some audience participation.. :):) and sorry to digress a little, when i walked pass a 7-11 in Asakusa, Japan, i saw the a-nation banner!! and ayu's photo was on it!! :P:P http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/2638/44036934.jpg http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9993/52167535.jpg |
^ICONIQ!!!!
|
Looking forward to another awesome year of performances!!
|
please, let NEXT LEVL make into the tracklist

Spoiler:
|
i voted for no more words, connected and rainbow. :)
the voting is open to every song. i wasn't going to limit my voting based on songs that have more of an opportunities to appear than other ones :P |
OMGGGG someone should vote for still alone
|
I'm a bit curious what they'll do with the top songs.
Will they be guaranteed to be performed or just guaranteed to be CONSIDERED? Haha. |
KANARIYA PLZ i don't care how bad it sounds i will love it anyway. watch her perform it but it doesn't make it on the tv version/dvd omfg :gnash
|
horaaay!
Ai-chan will be there too! I hope she'll perform Sakuranbo~ :D PS: duh... Ayu's the SHOW, that's why Avex gives her the most number of performances! |
I wish I was TA so I could vote! It's a great idea, and I hope they take into account the votings while making the setlist ^^
|
I would love to see her perform kanariya, that would be great! Along with still alone...how about criminal!!?? :D How I wish I was a TA member now. :weep
|
I'd so totally vote for:
still alone HANABI ~episode II~ Liar |
Eh only TA members can vote for it ?
And oh (miss)understood please :luv2 |
