[Official Message] 「ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A ～HOTEL Love songs～」

[TeamAyu2004]

I agree with you, thats why this would be the best time to bring CREA back so she can convey how she truly feels!

[jbrat2219]

I honestly don't miss CREA, but I wouldn't mind her making a comeback. But like AyumiAi says, the time isn't right. If CREA came back it would take away from the focus of the song, which would be about the quake.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ You think? I thought it would be a perfect expression of what she feels and is trying to get others to feel.

She writes her own lyrics to do that. She only really writes a song when she doesn't like the compositions given to her. Or so I've heard.

[TeamAyu2004]

True she writes the lyrics, but when she writes the music as well its like a double.. cant even think of the word.. But its just, to me, means more and i feel like its almost like "doubling the experience" i guess.

Sorry if I dont come off as understanding.. lol I dont think i know how to put it into words.

I know what you mean, I just don't really agree. To me, it's her words that capture me the most. I honestly can't name 5 CREA songs, although I know the majority are on I am... Plus I think one of them (SURREAL?) are part of my favorite ayu songs. So,,,, CREA doesn't really mean much to me hahaha. But like I said, I'd welcome a return. New music is new music.

I've heard some recent updates, maybe in particular to the Tohoku earthquake situation (http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/schedule/). Could anyone translate this, please?

Hm don't get it. X)
Can somebody translate please?
Thank you.

[Luja.]

I think they changed the (earliest possible) dates to pick up / buy tickets for the different shows? Even though I don't really get the point of that. But in the line for the first two concerts in Saitama it says "未定" and google translator tells me that means "postponed". Does that refer to the concert or the ticket sale?

[truehappiness]

Yeah, the ticket sales have been temporarily postponed, and the show is still going on.

They'll probably have the tickets out for the Saitama shows a little later next week or something.

I wonder if Ayu's been okay when it comes to rehearsing what with all the craziness of the last week...

[OyTony]

So the show will still start on the 9th April?
Only the tickets will go later on sale?

[truehappiness]

Yeah. They were planned to go on sale tomorrow or something like that, but I guess that isn't possible at the moment.

[OyTony]

^
Okay thank you very much. ^^

[Bigtop]

I don't understand this - why would Avex do a go-ahead with the tour? Shouldn't they just postpone it? I don't think they're making good decisions - unless they luckily get it...

[miki_beland]

it's postponed, check the official web

[Bigtop]

But I don't understand Japanese - which tour dates are postponed?

[miki_beland]

web translation:

※ The general sale of the ticket which scheduled sale for Saturday, March 19th and 20 Sunday is going to receive and postpone the occurrence of the Tohoku-district Pacific offing earthquake generated on March 11th in 2011.

[AnimeFreak121]

So they tour's still going ahead? o.o?
What about ticket sales?
(Is only catching up now aftger weeks)

[Tony G]

The dates aren't delayed. Just ticket sales. So, that means - THE SHOWS ARE NOT DELAYED.
