[AyuWorld]

Oh that's good to hear!

It always feels so nostalgic near the end of the year. Everything is like in a big rush, especially when looking at her 2000s years when she was like super busy for shows and CDLs.

[hayasaki]

I really don't think Ayu's just been having a good time or partyin' all these times she's in LA. Well, who knows. But it's great to know she's back here for rehearsals. Timmy told me he's learning lyrics he hasn't performed before. So there might be songs that weren't performed much back then this year! Ggyaaaa can't really wait! 27 more days to go!

We'll probably get the usual early leak from fans who float outside Yoyogi while she rehearses.

When do these Yoyogi rehearsals usually take place and what time of the day?

Some good news about CDL, kind of, from TA!

- She's been flying back and forth during planning (so whenever she has gone back to Japan, she's probably done CDL stuff too)
- there are going to be a LOT of new things at CDL
- a lot of it is new machinery (stage setups?) that have not previously been seen in Japan apparently

I wonder what she was hinting at~

OMG I WISH THAT I COULD GO THIS YEAR TOO FMLL

[SummonerXI]

The dress rehearsals are the week leading up to the first performance usually.

Other rehearsals beforehand take place at Makuhari Messe if the making-ofs she's had are any indication.

It tends to go like this...

- Band rehearsals & dance rehearsals in some studio(s) (late Nov. / early Dec)
- Dress rehearsals / Generalprobe (ゲネプロ) at Makuhari Messe (mid Dec.)
- Dress rehearsals / Generalprobe (ゲネプロ) at Yoyogi National Gymnasium (late Dec.)
- The shows begin (29th/30th/31st)

woow so excited now! looking forward to the new stage! Ustream Ayu please!

[Refix]

Lol at what she wore, so cute!
New technology. Let see, she already done that 3D screen in Next Level, sling/rope/swing/ball/cross/crane since 2002, a huge ship, a carousel like stage, even a bed... makes me wonder what next.
I would be very surprise if she ride a white horse or motorcycles to the stage lol
Quite disappointing setlist...

Really? I mean the motorcycles. Hmm... need to check my dvd again. Thanks

^when she sing carols in AT2005 (it's not really a carousel I guess, just a round stage with light veil or so) then when she sing Marionete... my memory kinda blur anyway lol

[Livey~]

I'm still hoping for a merry-go-round on stage~

I think he meant the Marionette performance at Asia Tour 2008

[Refix]

^yep, that. It's not even close to carousel on my second thought lol
