I think this depends where your fans are located as well. I am not sure how many of the arenas she usually performs in Tokyo area will be available this year...

I need the dates too. As I need to plan the trip. Still debating whether I should do a South Korea~Japan trip this year. I am also very tempted to have a 3 day trip to North Korea

@tokyoxjapanxfan The Arena Tour 2003-2004 was from December to April, it wasn't a long tour (two dates in December and two in January, the rest of the dates were in February, March and April).

I'm excited about this "hall tour", maybe we'll finally see less dancers and more Ayu.

I'm actually glad it's going to be a hall tour. For some reason I enjoy watching those more than actual arena tours lol

Given the amount of stadiums and arenas closed till the Olympics it's not a big surprise going for hall dares CDL was great so I have high expectations!

I think she might perform first in Saitama/Yokohama, Osaka, Nagoya and Fukuoka arenas and then switch to halls in other prefectures.

Maybe the reason she's been travelling so much is because she's been scouting potential concert venues in Europe?

You know that's not artist's job, right?:-P

I think it's safe to assume she's not doing TA tour this year.

It's really nice that it's going to be her longest tour to date, but I have to admit I'm not that excited... especially if they don't change a lot of things from the CDL (which, in my opinion, was pretty bad). I hope a better setlist, better outfits, and PLEASE a better performance of kanariya--we've been waiting for nearly 20 years.

I'm excited for the reason that hopefully she will do lives in September/beginning of October and I will be able to go see her! =) so happy!!

And it's not unheard of to celebrate the 20th anniversary before and until the anniversary itself. kuu did it twice for the 10th/15th anniversaries for example. The tour will probably start after ayu's 19th anniversary in less than two months so it's just rational. Just the beginning probably implies that the celebration will be until the 20th anniversary itself. Not afterwards. Maybe she would release something like A BEST 3 on the 20th anniversary or special stuff this year too until then.

I would hope for a new original album until then.
Wouldn't mind if she goes A BEST 3+new original album too but if it's on the 20th anniversary next year so better release another original album until then

This is the first time ayu does a long hall tour, that's amazing! Maybe it is better for her to be closer to the crowd, it's a good strategy, the impact would usually be better.

If she will be vocally awesome like in the TA Tour date I went to I would be grateful.

Lmao. Seriously. At this point it's like they kind of just accepted her fate and are just clinging to anything at all that they feel might add a shred of relevancy to her in the public's eye. But ironically all it does is reinforce the general publics not-so-positive view of her.

Anyways, there is a possibility I might be studying in Japan next year, so it would be great if I could see this tour and next years as well. I was mad when she included STEP you on this year's CDL because that's the one track I want to see live this time around and I thought if she performs it this year she won't perform it on the 20th anniversary tour. But if this is a long tour and she still keeps the track in the setlist, I can finally make that dream a reality.

From what I can tell, it looks like it will be both arenas and halls. Which will be weird, because the venues would require different stage setups, but that could be interesting as well.

It makes sense, because with halls she'll get to play smaller areas that she doesn't normally and I'm sure a part of the reason is because several of the arenas, at least in the Tokyo area, are shut down for renovations in preparation for the 2020 Olympics.

Also, there must be some advantage to playing halls, because Namie does it all the time and she certainly could be doing arenas instead. So I wouldn't say that it's necessarily a bad thing to "resort" to playing at halls.
