[Official Message] ARENA TOUR 2016 A ～MADE IN JAPAN～

[Aderianu]

banner from official site

[ayu-michan]

Whoa... so beautiful

Doesn't it feel kind of nostalgic for them to be promoting with the A BEST photo after 15 years? I wonder if there are people from 15 years ago feeling nostalgic seeing that photo in public again

[oaristos]

They picked a really good picture of CDL for the banner!

[pimenta]

^ Yeah, it's not the most noticeable banner... I feel it would be better if her picture was on top, not on the middle, it would be more eye-catching.
It's on the exactly same spot Colours' banner was, but Colours' banner was immediately noticeable.

But it's promotion, I'm happy

[Andrenekoi]

^It depends a lot on where they though the viewer would be when they saw it. Not saying it isn't wrong, not that it is right, just that maybe the photo wasn't taken for the spot they had in mind while creating the design... It may have been perfectly noticible for the people walking around the area for example.

Probably. That whole corner looks busy with so many advertisements around, so for me it's hard to see any one thing standing out more than another. Except the street. The street looks nice. Because it isn't cover in ads. Yet.

Colours banner on the same spot could still be noticed from inside the train while it was approaching the station on a quite large distance, so the fact that this one doesn't stand out from just across the street says a lot about the design (considering that's the Shibuya crossing, I honestly can't think of another position where it could be better visualized than the one were the picture was taken, if you get much closer, it's gonna be too high to be easily noticed)... Tbh, if they're gonna put a banner at the Shibuya crossing, it's kinda important to make a design that stands out on no matter what side of the street you are. The Colours one did that...

YES, PLEASE.

No for me. That tour in 2002 damaged ayu's ear. I wouldn't want her to do another tour that damages her body.

Off topic: it is funny that we have no information for her new album at all. No song title being leaked.

Im guessing she may release the album 1-2 weeks before the tour

which may mean an announcement in early april

which coincides just after the release of ABEST-15-

which means people will pay attention to it since there is some ABEST-15- promo going on and she will be in the news

which may be a good marketing strategy hahah

====

sidenote:
i had this imagination that she may shape the tour using the four elements in Moments (the flower, wind, bird and moon) as the elements of Japan. I feel that those really capture some essence of traditional Japanese culture and it would be really beautiful.

Wind = fast songs (Fly High, evolution)
Flower = vogue, GREEN, Ivy,
Bird = (no idea LOL)
Moon = MOON and other sad ballads

Moon = MOON / Memorial address / Endless sorrow


btw I think ayu should also use drone to record the tour!

^ Holy shit this is brilliant

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Bird - songs with references to feathers and wings lol

[Raiu-Ayu]

Kachou fuugetsu themed tour would actually be really nice lol and it fits the made in japan idea lol

[aliceshields]

^ Using drone to record her concert is a cool idea, but due to safety issue (last year drone crash interrupts US Open tennis), I doubt they will consider it.

It really depends on the person who controls it. Drone has been using for many things.

[truehappiness]

STADIUM TOUR 2016 A ~MADE IN JAPAN~ maybe?

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I am..., vogue (the entire trilogy, actually), monochrome, Real me, and ourselves are so amazing. They'd fit this tour perfectly, imo.

[hayasaki]

I have always thought they're already been using drone on her concerts for years now. I wonder if its just me but has anyone notice drones flying around/near the stage sometimes especially around when the silver tapes are being exploded?
