ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2018 ～POWER of MUSIC 20th Anniversary ～

[dreamalley]

This news seems to come out of nowhere. I mean, everyone was waiting for news about the tour but still... I wasn't expecting it start so soon.

I was pretty happy reading the title. If she's going to repeat a concept then I'm glad she's choosing PoM. It was pretty fantastic.

I woke uo with this news and I'm super excited!!! I'll arrive in Tokyo literally one day before the first date in Saitama (and that's the same venue where I went to my first ayu concert so I'm super excited!). I thought the POWER of MUSIC concept getting back a little odd but I can understand it. The logo is cute! But I wanted her creative team to step up this time! C'mon! It's the 20th anniversary and they are using the same creative concept as always (also the pink). But I gave up already about her arts & logos.

The ticket price is super expensive but can't do anything about it.

OMG I'M LITERALLY CRYING NOW!

Power of Music is my favorite tour (with AT06 tied, of course) and i'll be in japan this june!!!

I'll try the Kanazawa date (06-16). Will anyone else try it too?

[Gustavopc]

I'm not a big fan of PoM tbh but this might have a different structure, so I have high hopes. It'd be so nice if instead of each date the concert getting bigger, we had the concert itself starting small and ending on a flamboyant act so we could have everything from stripped down to over the top performances

The name itself doesn't hint at performing A LOT of hits, so I'm also hoping for a few not-so-overperformed gems. Of course she's gonna sing a lot os signature songs, this is an anniversary tour after all, but it might be not *just* the big hits.

[Chibi-Chan]

I'm so excited! I will be in Tokyo anyway for my semester abroad and a new POWER OF MUSIC sounds fantastic!

And I actually like the logo. I would have chosen another colour but I like how simple it is.

so is this chapter 4 or her annual tour? i have never been so into PoM. She needs to get a real good rest so her voice wont crack up that much. If she can achieve to handle her voice well, it is going to be the pure emotion! Hopefully, she sings part of me again

[RealLight]

I just hope this time the new arrangements (if there's going to be) are nice because 90% of the time I don't like them.

It's a new tour. It's not chapter 4. We don't know if that's the only tour she'll do for her anniversary tho...

I really hope she will perform songs she never performed before.

I think chances of that are really slim. This is a 20th Anniversary concert after all. I expect a lot of ayu's staple songs tbh, perhaps re-arranged to some extent.

I expect from her to perform her biggest hits, but she could put on the list song/songs she never performed before. That would be very nice for her anniversary. But I don't hope too much.

I hear ya. I expected that for A BEST tour when we had a chance to vote, but there were really no 'rare' songs performed at all (except from SAKURA which got sacked when I was there). Anyways I'll be applying for Saitama dates!

[truehappiness]

I expect one or two "surprises" though.

I don't see that happening at all. :/

Same. And with "surprises" I don't even expect "never-performed-before-stuff", just "not-sung-10-times-in-the-last-tours-but-three-times"

[truehappiness]

SAKURA, please. Or like... Out of control. Something that's a little out of the ordinary.

[Zeke.]

Oh god not Out of control. The Japanese seem to really like that one though.

I would love to see the “Orchestra Version” of fated though! My god that mix is beautiful and with a live orchestra would be PHENOMENAL!

Also, like can she do Ladies Night 〜another night〜 once? Would be sick af with a band.

[truehappiness]

I don't think she can do Ladies Night like that. She may just scream it all. Out of control is an amazing song, ok, lol.

[polka-dot-jewel]

Now I can kind of start planning a trip, lol. I can't go for her anniversary in April, but I can probably make it to the final shows. I just want to attend the finale like I did in 2008 (the Japan finale, anyway). I'm just wondering if she'll add more shows, either in Asia or Japan. She's been doing that with most tours the past 10 years, heh.
