ayu's 10th anniversary : another A museum or DOME TOUR ?

[se7entheaven]

Which would you like to see in ayu's 10th anniversary?
Another A museum~single collections~ TOUR (after another BEST album release or assuming "special single") or DOME TOUR (a BEST album was released before)

yeah...I read somewhere that in last year's a-nation '05
Tetsuya Komuro (1st time performance there) said that he would be back again performing in ayu's 10th anniversary concert...

Out of the perspective that I would do anything to go to her 10th anniversary performance:

Hmm, while a new A museum would be cool I have to say I'd like to see a new DOME TOUR.

The thing with the DOME TOUR is that it looks awesome on DVD, and it's sure and experiance to have been there, but as they are so insanely huge you can't see much of Ayu - getting good seats would be an impossibility. If you go to some of her smaller Arena Tour performances it can be really easy to get good seats, up close to Ayu. Hearing her music live is wicked, but seeing her at the same time is a great bonus .

Hmm... the more I think about it the harder I have to choose. I think A museum is something that should only happen once in the career of an artist, even if she could top it, I don't doubt she can, I don't want her to. I'd like to see her do something with an entirely new concept, and doing it in the DOMEs would be great.

She has used more or less the same set up for two Arena Tours in a row now, nothing bad with that, it was really awesome and the shows was unique compared to eachother. I hope she will come up with something really crazy at her 10th anniversary.

What was that thing about Tetsuya Komuro, who is he?

[Cloud]

Definitely DOME TOUR.

[Endlessoul]

I'd rather have a 5A single or a mini album. Of course a new tour is necessary, but new songs come first!

I don't know about that. I don't think she ever went deaf but she got some serious problems with one of her ears after one tour. I can understand her, the sound level of her performance at the Yoyogi Stadium was immense, that one held 12000 people. A guess is that her performance in the Tokyo Dome held 40000+ people (max 55000), that would mean more speakers and even louder volume. When you stand behind the speakers, on stage, the noise isn't that loud, as the speakers are build to push the sound forward (according to my friends father who got a band the speakers is most likely set up that way). But for some songs she walk out into the centre of the Dome, at those times she has to pass the speakers which can be completely devastating for your ears.

Ears can be damaged from either too much loud noise for a too long time or a short moment of an extremely loud sound.

There's also the possibility that the earbuds that she used for the performance has far too loud volume in them, this damaging her hearing.

Maybe the answer can be gotten in the NTV interview from 2004? I haven't watched it yet.

I'm not sure if it was during DT01 that she hurt her ear.

[AyUmIXx]

ehm....what i know that at Dome Tour 2001, ayu got her left leg hurt and couldn't walk...but she kept on doing the concert because she didn't want to disappoint her fans..
and about her left year hurt, i think it's from Dome Tour 2001 too..

[alternarist]

yeah.. during one of the rehearsals for Dome Tour 2001, she felt something wrong with her left ear. she cant hear anything and her singing was jus.. not together with the music. on the last day of the Dome Tour, she fell into a 1 or 2 m deep hole and injured her feet during the rehearsal.

she fell because she lost her sense of balance as a result of her affected ear. she went to see the doctor and he advised her to rest and not to expose herself to loud music. but she still went back to the Dome and carried on with the concert (started at a later time) despite her leg was injured and her ear was nearly deaf.

I can completely see Peco digging a hole in the stage floor with a shovel infront of me, throwing shovel after shovel full of dirt over her shoulder with an evil grin on her face.

Humm. I don't really care, lol!

Maybe it's the echo of the sound too?

Personally, another A MUSEUM would be nice, and I don't really care where it's held (ie: zepp, halls, arenas, domes, stadiums). But another Stadium or Dome Tour would be nice though.

i think we're going off topic now..hahaha

Yeah, the echo is impossible to avoid, but the speakers are placed so that there's to be as little of it as possible, and I heard no serious echo when I was at the Yoyogi Stadium on neither performance, close or far back from the stage (if my memory didn't erase the echo). In the Dome Tour DVD you can clearly hear the echo though. I think that standing behind the speakers is like standing at the back of the arena/dome/stadium, the sound is still really loud but far from devastating.

No offense, but your post didn't help . Well, as long as whatever the off-topic posts is about is interesting for many and/or invite people to more discussion on some matter that's atleast remotely connected to the inital post I don't think it matters much. If a topic would turn into a private discussion between two members it's another thing, that could be taken via PM. Well, it's not for me to judge.

on topic:
Guess what? I still want a A MUSEUM in a DOME! :-O

[ayu_ready?]

neither...
I want smth new, actually

Probably cos Yoyogi is just smaller than the Domes, I think it would there would be naturally be more echo, but would there be echo if it's like in a outdoor stadium?

If it's surrounded by walls - most likely, unless the stadium in question was build with the acoustic of it in mind, but I don't think many sport stadiums are - I have no clue, only guessing.

If there's no surrounding walls on an open field there'd most likely be no echo, heh. But I think that a concert out in the open might sound worse than inside, sound get so much more power if it's enclosed in a room.

In the AT05 DVD you can hear a slight echo at times, but it's nothing like the clear echoing sound in the Dome.
