ARENA TOUR 2009 A ~NEXT LEVEL~ setlist and pictures [V]

[alternarist]

Extend the tour? If we put ourselves in ayu's shoes, she probably is just trying to reach out to more of her fans. Probably it was suppose to be an ASIA TOUR 2009 ~NEXT LEVEL~, but problems arose settling overseas dates hence the delay?

I wont complain if she extends. But i jus feel -___- about when the DVD is gonna release. Unless ayu does something like AT2008. Last concert in Nov 2008, Jan 2009 DVD release.

[fanayutic]

hmm.. a special offer O.O
could it be that she's stopping by SINGAPORE?!?! lol
but still, it's great news!

dvd may be filmed overseas again
and maybe there would be a TBS broadcast of the Japan leg of this yr's tour
just like at08!!

okay. i m so looking forward to the overseas stops if there's really an extension to at09!!

[zyoeru]

^ I think they're coasters? :S

[Tasked]

haha it's a coaster idd LOL!

[waterballoon]

I want the bubble tea lol

[asmAyumi1992]

The tea looks tasty.

[~X2RADialbomber~]

I have never been more excited about an Ayu product... I cannot wait for this tour to come out on DVD!

[truehappiness]

A translation from a Taiwanese Ayu forum posted here:

According to reliable sources said
Ayumi Hamasaki will be held in March 2010 13.14 Day was organized by the Taipei Arena NEXT LEVEL ASIA SPECIAL SHOW
Ayu is said to be the final games October 22 Tokyo, Yoyogi personally announcing the good news
NEXT LEVEL In addition to other overseas markets will be added outside that this is a special overseas qualified SHOW
Currently AYU already recorded three new songs (most likely in winter 3A singles)
Therefore, overseas markets in addition to singing sunrise / sunset may also sang a new song Oh
Prior to the current ticket prices are all the same as with the price of 4,500 yuan has the highest ARENA
Tickets may be sold in the open in December
We poised to steal from voting
Also limit the surrounding Taiwan will once again qualify for the overseas launch of the exclusive neighboring Taiwan market
Please wait and see!!

I'm a bit skeptical since they don't say exactly where their "reliable sources" are... it's thought that the Taipei Arena's dates for the 12th/13th would be for this, but we don't really know. I guess we'll have to wait. (And usually Ayuchina or AyumiFans gets this sort of thing way beforehand.. hm..)

Regardless of an extension, I think that the final Yoyogi show being called the "TOUR FINAL" might cement the DVD stemming from the show.... just pleeeeaase don't delay the DVD.

Oh, here's the entire post from TeamAyu that walking.proud posted!

Ayu have post a new message... She talks about this tour that will end now, how long has it been, that 2009 started with rhearsals for this tour and since then she has been touring, etc, etc... but then... there's a sentence that took my attention!

Here the whole message:

This sentence I've put in bold...

海外から、スペシャルなオファーまで頂いた、今年のツアー。

（この詳細は、情報解禁を待って、発表するね☆)

I've translated it like this:

From overseas, ended an special offer, yearly tour.

(More information, waiting for the opening of information, I will announce ☆)


Special offer... from overseas... ayu herself said that but I'm afraid it's an Asia Tour again... which is good... but the way she says that... well.. I don't want to get too exited... but it makes me thing about an overseas tour...

It's because of that that I posted it here...

What do you think about it? do you think this is about the real BIG decision??

I hope it will be an hyper mega special offer that will not only affect Asia... >.<

[Suteisi]

^I agree, I think if it's extended, she'll be keeping the last show for the DVD and just keep going. Or at least I hope so...


I went to a reseller's shop in Shibuya today and even so close to the concerts, their prices were ridiculous for bad seats. I already had my ticket for Oct 21st, I'll be in section B. The tickets I got for Oct 22nd are in section... G or H, I can't remember. A bit further out, but I'll be seeing the stage and all the screens better.

[truehappiness]

and even so close to the concerts, their prices were ridiculous for bad seats.

As in high? Because supposedly the resellers are for the most part selling tickets below their actual ~value~...

[Suteisi]

Yes, high for the seats themselves. I was disappointed after reading a lot of people saying they had good seats for "good prices" and "lower prices" than previous years.

I don't think that seats in D section way at the back of the arena are worth some 60,000-70,000Y for 2.

Woah? That's crazy. Although maybe they jacked up the prices because its the last date of the tour?

edit: yeah I just checked the website and many of the prices are unreasonably high now, even though they still have a lot of tickets left it seems. I did see some for 8,000 though - I guess it all just depends on which store you went to.

Is it a reason (and was a reason) for why there were a lot of resellers tickets?
Because the prices were unreasonably high? (and less because people weren't interested).

Well, I bought my B1 Ticket for 12500 yen at YAJ (+2500yen for shipping and middleman fees) but I saw her in May in the Yokohama Arena. teth mentioned once that the most expensive tickets are for the first and last date of the tour, so I'm not surprised at those prices.

[keikeiaznqueen]

^ Ouch, maybe it depends on the reseller. I got tickets 40,000 yen for 2. (Still expensive but yeah.)

And as for what Ayu said about "overseas", I'm really excited!! I'm getting ready to fight for tickets if she comes to HK!

It's apparently supposed to be slightly different to the main NL tour judging by its name, so I look forward to it! The new songs will be included?

[zyoeru]

I think it's true.
First we had the huge secret, then we had Taiwan's arena with the dates that were removed and are currently "booked", now this...

[SunshineSlayer]

^ No. Other than now, the prices have all been low compared to what they usually are. (unless they were like front row seats or something) I think this is simply because this is the last date of the tour. Also, there are still a number of days before the show - if these tickets are still unsold I'm sure the prices will drop on the last day.

[PEARL]

woooooooooooot go on a world tour please Ayu~ xD

I just saw this a few days ago!!! I'll get money soon, so I hope YA will still sell the music box then, because I NEED it (and the "Mirrorcle World"-ship too!! )!!

@Thread: Oh my...I'm soooo excited! I hope that the DVD is coming out soon! I'm sure it'll be EPIC!!!!!!
