She posted on TA about performing being her passion and how it was exciting to do the CDL. And she said "I’m going to make this year one that I will be able to say I have no regrets about, whenever it’s all finally over" and it gave me some vibes that she might take a break after being so workaholic for the past 20 years.

In the other hand she also wrote that she decided to carry on. Again and again
This women likes to speak in mysteries xD

"whenever it’s all finally over" probably refers to her going fully deaf

Hopefully this doesn't revive the Ayu is going to retire panic.:no

Andrenekoi 6th January 2019 12:55 AM

^Has it ever died?

xLuna&1LOVE 6th January 2019 02:35 AM

Maybe she just hints to when the TROUBLE era is over.
Ayu will figure out another way to keep on touring.

No need to figure anything out, if she wants to tour so bad she just needs to release a new full album with songs that inspire her and make a tour with those news songs being the main attraction. I mean, touring and releasing songs is her WORK, she cant just decide to ditch 50% of her work because she feels like it. Well she can but that is not being a professional to me.

I get you, but I don't fully agree. I think Ayu proves, that one can keep on touring, without releasing a full length album every time. Yet, she does not come over as unprofessional to me, because she gives 1000% into her shows and they look well put together. There are many singers, also Western singers included, who are doing (world) tours, and haven't really put out a new album on the market. Ayu is one of those performers, who can do that. Plus, even though she usually picks the same songs for her setlist - her tours don't look the same to me.

So with figuring out, I was hinting to picking some another theme and make a setlist out of the massive discography she has worked on for like 20 years. I am content with that :)

What the fork A^3 kind of theme is... who knows!

Andrenekoi 6th January 2019 06:38 PM

She really IS one of those artists few artists that could do a 3hours set of hits everyone would recognize.

I just disagree about her setlists being all the same... There are those 5, 6 songs on every concert that are really overplayed, but it almost never takes up the majority of the setlist and it's pretty much the usual amount of staples of most concerts.

It does feel like there are more repetitive songs than usual because she is touring using her 20th anniversary as a theme since 2017. Even so, I belive the last time we counted it was a total of +100 different songs performed through jtb, POM2, the a-nations, etc.

Actually, I will count again once I get my to my pc.

lol
She released like 250 Songs in her career, she can tour without releasing new material.
There're more than enough Tracks for touring...
Don't get me wrong, i'd love to get new songs, but not just for an excuse for a Tour.

Andrenekoi 6th January 2019 11:42 PM

Since Ayu started celebrating her 20th anniversary, back at the jtb CDL, slowed down the music releases and toured like crazy, she performed 96 songs on tours, CDLs and a-nation.

96 songs.

That's a fucking lot and there's not many stars in the world that could say they had 96 well liked songs to shove down people's throats, let alone in just 20 years of career.

Really, she has performed almost 100 hundred songs during her concerts over the past 2 years, saying she is always performing the same stuff is completely unfair. Saying she is lazy or that she doesn't care is even more unfair.

The songs (I wanted to organize them in alphabetical order, but I'm too lazy and there are too much of them)

The thing is, it is only written with such an ominous connotation in the English translation. If you switch it to the Japanese text, it comes off much more inspiring:

Quote:

いつが終わりでも1ミリも悔いはないと言い切れる一年にします。

I will make it a year in which I can declare, still yet whenever it stands as the end, that I have not even one millimeters worth of regret.
To me it sounds like she will continue to make progress on doing things she's always wanted to do, and close out the year having accomplished things she one day will no longer have the opportunity to make good on.

She wants to make it a year she did not let to go to waste.

In other words, 10 years from now she doesn't want to say "Damn, I really could have done more in 2019."

Andrenekoi 7th January 2019 01:44 AM

Several of those performances also were choreographed to some extent. This is A LOT of work

and stress and mental health. She always wants to preform the best.
Remembering almost 100 songs lyrics and preforming in few years are extremely difficult.
