[RUMOR] ASIA TOUR 2008 overseas locations

[Ayumiko]

PLEASE TREAT THIS AS RUMOR...

This is from a post at ayuchina....there is a newspaper article that mentioned ayu's asia tour 2008 overseas locations and dates:

[08/02/12] [太陽報] 濱崎步 10月香港開騷
去年4月來港開騷的濱崎步，無受左耳失聰困擾，再計劃於今年舉行亞洲巡迴演唱會，暫定於9月13日至10月 18日在香港、韓國、上海、台灣及新加坡開騷，香港站定於10月4日演出，地點則仍未落實。步姐每次來港均 掀起哄動，估計今次亦不例外。而她將於下月26日打孖推出兩張混音專輯《ayu-mi-x6》，作為今年的見面禮.

Sept 13th- Oct 18th: Hong kong, south korea, shanghai, taiwan, and singapore. Hong kong concert (venue not confirmed/decided) will be on Oct 4th.

Well, yeah... XD

I wonder why not Taipei though since she did say that she had intentions of performing more than once..

[Ayumiko]

first post updated.

I'm surprised that shanghai have 2 dates and hk and taiwan doesn't....especially taiwan. If the locations turn out to be true, I'll be happy...its more 'asia' tour.

Regular songs = same
Encore = same but like one or two songs.

I wonder which unlucky GUILTY songs will get encored. XD I'm betting it could just be MY ALL that gets encored. :O

i WANT MY ALL! that is my top fav song from GUILTY.

can't be....this is ayu, they will squeeze a date out for her. and there are a number of theatres, they can't ALL be booked till that long....

this is the biggest reason why i do not believe that this rumour is real. How can taiwan be missed out?

Wasn't it the only concert that didn't sell out though? I'd imagine there's a greater demand in HK and Taipei since those venues sold out so quickly.

Fans squeeze into the Grand Stage

Due to the sponsor�s promotion, the concert tickets were sold out within a mere 10 hours, breaking the record for shortest time for ticket sales in Shanghai. Even though the weather was bad yesterday, with freezing temperatures, rain and strong winds, passionate fans came to the Grand Stage early to show support for ayumi�s first concert in China. Even before 7pm, the entire area outside the venue was already packed. This concert was similar to her Japan ones, where concert souvenirs were sold outside the venue. Such included a memorial booklet (240 yuan), towel (200 yuan), ayupan (35 and 50 yuan), and CDs. Due to the fact that these Japanese goods were limited, about 1000 people queued up for them, making an impressive sight. However, as many fans wished to buy all these goods, the scene became very chaotic. In the end, security had to be employed and the sale of goods was stopped. Stall holders apologized and said �If we continue this, someone is bound to die�, disappointing fans who had been queuing for hours. Before 7.30pm, the whole arena was packed with ayumi fans, many of them wearing some sort of uniform attire. They held placards with supportive messages written in Japanese, �Hamasaki Ayumi, you will forever be the darling in our hearts�.

Looks like it takes a while in Shanghai regardless.

Hmmm. Well let's hope to hear of some official information soon then. This sounds somewhat reasonable though--some time in between the Japan dates and the Asia dates so she could do a-nation right?

The thing is that supposedly 2008's a-nation is going to be ASIA-themed as well and travel around Asia. D:

Well, going around Asia twice wouldn't be so bad right? Although that seems rather tiring, too...

[Ayumiko]
