*Shakes hands*
I only found 2 shirts and a blazer at H&M there xD
Everything there is so small o-o

[ExodusUK]

Idk about Japan but in China western clothe stores are still cheaper in China than here in the UK. A lot of the stuf in H&M is cheaper and Uniqlo is dirty cheap too.

But yeah clothing and such seems more expensive^^

I think it also depends on which kinds of restaurants you go to? But yeah, clothing seems more expensive.

[~angel*ayumi~]

@ayuuk
Yeah of course, I am speaking about "normal" and Fastfood restaurants, they are pretty cheap. Of course you can also spent a lot of money on food xD When we tried out Yamagata Beef we spent nearly 10000 Yen on that one restaurant xD

@Topic
ahhh why are the unoffical photos so expensive <.< (or why do I have so less money xD)

[Earth_maiden]

from what I remember in Japan, the photos were about 200 yen each. On YAJ I pay around 3000 yen for 20 or so, which isn't too bad. But those sellers rarely relist their smaller photo auctions, mainly the larger lots which are around 7000 yen or so. And unless you're checking every single day, you usually miss them. I've just gotten very lucky... and I go on NOPPIN every single day without fail.

Because I also didn´t need a visa.

Everybody, no matter what country they are from need a VISA. That little stamp that they give your passport in customs is a VISA. It's just a tourist visa though and it differs between countries for how long the tourist visa is good for. For Japan you can stay as a tourist for up to three months, anything longer than that and you would need a different kind of VISA - spouse, student, work etc.

[~angel*ayumi~]

Yeah but for me I just simply get this stamp in my passport at the airport.
It seems for mercury it´s much more difficult.

[TeamAyu2004]

So is there no news about a Yoyogi yet?????

Does anyone know if this is how the Rock n Roll circus was, and then she announced the 7 Day Final thing???

[JEWELian]

What do you mean?

There has been no announcement about any extra leg of the tour. I checked the last few announcements and they were all around the start of June. So I guess we still have another week or two.

(Personally I really don't want her to add an extra leg - she should focus on music. And plus, I cbb going to Fukuoka for the concerts if they're not the final shows!)

[TeamAyu2004]

^ Thats what I was asking...

I thought I read somewhere that when she was tour AT10 she didn't have any dates for Yoyogi, but then later it was announced that she would have the -7 day- thing...

Im wonder is this is going to be something similar... I cant remember a time when she hasn't had dates a Yoyogi, and I would really enjoy going to those...

[Aderianu]

TeamAyu2004 she said that she is too busy with her tour and can't attent a-nation in Osaka. But her tour ends 8.12, one week before a-nation
so... I think 1) she don't have time for rehearsal or 2) she'll add some concerts to her tour at the end of August

I thought I read somewhere that when she was tour AT10 she didn't have any dates for Yoyogi, but then later it was announced that she would have the -7 day- thing...

she had 4 concerts in Yoyogi before "-7 day- thing"

[TeamAyu2004]

^ Aww.. okay...
I really hope she adds those dates!!

And thanks for the video with ayu and gackt! its so cute! (ayumi and shuya)... and gackt, well... hes gackt... lol

[miki_beland]

no pics from today's show? i wonder if she dyed her hair pink back and took extensions out..

[Aderianu]

I didnt see any

[tiffanytgs]

any fans going this 12 Aug's Fukuoka concert ^^? Im going!

[shuyalove]

Has someone attended any HLS show that had started at 6:30 PM? I need to know at what time the concert ends and I have read somewhere that Ayu's concerts usually start late. I am attending to Nagoya show next Saturday but the last train to Tokyo leaves at 9:30 PM Maybe I won't be able to see How beautiful you are...

[truehappiness]

After the first few shows, they start maybe 10-20 minutes later than the usual time at the longest?

I think you should be fine... the show doesn't seem to run for that long but there is a small chance you might miss how beautiful you are or a song before it due to needing to get to the train. However, I'm sure a lot of fans are going to need to take that train so I don't think they'll hold up people needing to get home.

The first Yokohama show was around 20-25 minutes late and not because of Ayu and staff being late, but because people took so long to get to their seats and they actually played the intro 3 times >_> So the concert actually started around 18:50. The concert was around 2+ hrs long, but definitively not longer than 2.5hrs, so if you leave during the encore you might make it.

[shuyalove]

Ok! Thanks!
I hope I'll be able to enjoy HBYA!
