Ayu: Anything Goes [XXII]

[Xianghua]

I believe they are doing that because it takes place in halls.
Next arena tour should be back to normal.

[truehappiness]

Probably to make sure people don't get hurt or anything from oversized uchiwa.

I think it's because of the size of the halls. I remember that for TA Tour it was also forbidden.

I want a remix album set like ayumix 7...

Understandable, but that's a bit sad. Some of the homemade signs I've seen are really cute and they normally aren't oversized. In general are the seats that much closer together than the arena tours?

At kpop concerts fansite owners will often bring paper signs and give them out to concert goers. There's usually an instruction for when to hold it up, usually during an emotional song or in the encore. It's kind of heartwarming for the fans to hold up hundreds of these signs at the same time.

Since Ayu is doing so many concerts it would be nice if messages could be sent to Ayu through people holding up a bunch of signs with nice messages. It seems like the concept doesn't really happen with Japanese artists though.

I've been browsing ayu's discography on wikipedia due to boredom. The L single:

It is Hamasaki's last release from the three-part project to celebrate fifty singles. Its title, L, is the Roman numeral for fifty.

Wow! I never realized this. Quite creative.

Why was the tracklist order for each version different? I lost touch with Ayu for a bit around this time.

[truehappiness]

There was never a reason for it I believe... they did the same thing for BLUE BIRD I think. Was partially to help differentiate versions.

[A-TeensFan]

is there any chance you guys think Avex would issue Ayu's album on vinyl?
And does anyone know the sale of Sixxxxx vinyl?

[Aderianu]

^I don't think so. Vinyl is more like collectible item

Agree, and I think sixxxxxx Vinyl sold very bad, otherwise they whouldn´t have sold it over TA shop after they said it´s venue exclusive.

[truehappiness]

Well, most venue exclusive stuff will go on sale elsewhere. I don't think those kinds of things 'sell badly' exactly it's just that there's a pretty specific audience for them and they know that.

[attractive nausea]

^ The 3 singles that were venue exclusive during Premium Showcase were never put on sale on TA shop though, weren't they?
I think one indicator that can tell us that it might have sold badly is that it's still up for sale on TA shop, it's not out of stock yet.

[~angel*ayumi~]

Nope they were only available at the venue. Also chopsticks are usually venue exclusive. This Time was first Time they were sold at mu-mo, because we had no real CDL this time

[Aderianu]

There is info on this site http://asianumbers.galeon.com/ayu.html that sixxxxxx vinyl sold 1000 copies. Maybe less than 1000, seems all sales are approximate

weren't premium showcase singles free?

[Xianghua]

Yes. They were given out after giving the ticket to enter the arena.

[Party_King]

IIRC the You were.../BALLAD Box (CDL09-10) and the MOON/blossom Limited Single (AT10) weren't on sale in online shops afterwards...

[truehappiness]

I remember a mu-mo option for the BALLAD box and for the MOON/blossom single. But it was TA only? Just generally speaking I find that venue stuff will be on sale in some form usually later on for most acts.

Moon/blossom single was on sale at mu-mo, but the You were/BALLADS Box definatly not. The box was limited to 2010 pieces only.
