Yeah, it was really close! Yesterday in Shiga I was in 9th row. Didn’t know Global TA can get 23rd row. The worst ticket I got was Saitama, 17th row and there were lots of foreigners at that show. In Kyoto there was couple from Singapore on 7th row and a guy from HK, so I thought all foreigners were quite close

So far I’ve gotten: Yokohama: 8th Saitama: 8th Tokyo International Forum: 24th Saitama: 12th I was wondering if I should ever try updating my TA with a Japanese address and applying that way for the next tour, to see if I’d have a better shot at even closer seats, but I think that would probably end up being a mistake. I mean, with global Team Ayu it appears that it’s already common place to be seated relatively close - it’s unknown what could happen if I changed my address and whenever I’ve done crap like that (wanted to test out another method when the way I’ve been doing it was relatively good) I always end up regretting it and say to myself “a gaurentee is better than an unknown!” So I think I’ll stay in global but I might splurge on a front or second row ticket from an auction site just once. Also, I just noticed, but does it bother anyone else that the third chapter isn’t titled? Why give the second chapter a title and then not the third. Kind of stupid if you ask me. It’s like they didn’t follow through with the concept. Last edited by Zeke.; 11th January 2018 at 04:17 AM. |

^ Chapter 1 didn't have a name either lol
What bothers me the most is that chapter 1 was filmed and aired on TV really fast, so i was expecting the same for chapter 2 when it ended, but nope, nothing. I think it would have been better not to do anything at all for chapter 1 if it doesn't follow the same logic for the next chapters smh. I expected chapter 1 & 2 & 3 to be all recorded and released on a 3 DVD release (+ maybe CDL 2016-2017) after the tour ends, but since we don't really know if they filmed chapter 2 + the fact that the setlists are the same for chapter 2 & 3 for the cute section, i really wonder if we'll ever see chapter 2 on a DVD. |

As a side note, it may be harder to get closer seats at the cities you went to. I find chances of closer seating are better at places that are "out there" like Aomori or Tokushima Last edited by Xianghua; 11th January 2018 at 02:59 PM. |

Lol I know but for some reason that would't have bothered me as much since like say for example in trilogies of movies the first one doesn't usually have a subtitle anyway, lol. But to randomly throw ONE subtitle in is weird to me.
I actually wasn't aware that the first chapter even aired, lol. But if they do plan to release the second and third chapter on video it is curious how they would handle that considering the similarities you pointed out. |

^ Yeah you're right.
I told myself that she could decide to change the setlist for the last show(s) by replacing Shake it!♥ and STEP you with Beautiful Fighters/ANGEL'S SONG/HONEY/Ladies Night for example, but if i recall correctly chapter 3 doesn't have a band and all the songs were pre-recorded so it would require her to gather the band again just to record these songs.

We mentioned earlier but she did say during MC in the last Saitama show that she would be returning to Saitama to perform again in April. So we know she’s at least planning something.

Me too. I would like at least 2-3 months to plan everything!

Who knows if it will be a new show and not just all three chapters mixed up for THE anniversary live. Obviously it's very possible she'll make a different live but I wouldn't be surprised if it'll simply be an altered version of the current tour.

I would rather see her take a break for a few months between tours and do her 20th anniversary tour after the summer. I'd rather see her do a tour with less dates but better planning and better production.

After all those concert dates I don't care about a new tour now, I wonder when is she going to release a new album. That wait is really killing me. Hahah

Speaking of global TA seats... Applying as a Global TA member doesn't really guarantee anything (although maybe it increases your chances). Out of the 6 concerts I attended, I had great seats only at half of them. At the 3 remaining concerts my seats were quite far from the stage. I think I've seen a couple of people here who also got bad seats before. And apparently, some didn't even win the lottery.

I think not winning tickets at Global TA we only had for TA Tour if I remember right.
