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

[ayuuk]

I bought a7 last year and have been listening to sorrows and last minute. It would be awesome if she performs these two!

[truehappiness]

Yesss, she needs to bring some of those out.



Big one from LINE.

[ayuuk]

Did anyone buy love classical?
Iirc it was released early 2015. How does it compare to a7 classical?

Also the global lottery opens a bit later than the other one IIRC... like a week?

This was for late July lottery:

Damn! Even if I register now it's more than 7 days until the 28th.... there was so much time to do this last time.

I think you have until Jan 28 to join TA, and then you can apply for the lottery when it opens. So I think you'd be fine if you join now.

Wait and see of course!

Isn't it what everyone expects from anniversary tours? I would be pissed otherwise.

Or is it better to join Global TA first and try my luck?

Previously I had gotten block B arena seat for around 6000yen or 2nd floor seats for less than 4000yen, but I'm only bit worried that there will be lesser people selling Ayu's tickets since it's her 20th anniversary which is what most fans are going there for.

Should I take the risk or join TA?

Wow, you were lucky! Usually reseller shops drop their prices this much on the day of the show for leftover tickets. I've never seen such a cheap tickets there. I was lucky enough to buy 30/12 ticket for 4000 yen near arena once.
Saitama super arena is huge, so probably there will be plenty of tickets.

[orbitalaspect]

So... I'm assuming no new album before the tour in April?

[oaristos]

That's really exciting and I actually like the logo this time!
POWER of MUSIC is one of my least favorite of her tours, so I hope she doesn't try to classical rearrangements on the entire setlist... Maybe she just really likes the name and that's why she's recycling it now.

[Party_King]

I need some help guys...

I really think about to get to Tokyo for the Saitama Shows.
I've never been in Japan before...
Do you think I can manage to get tickets for the 7./8. April if I would buy them in early march or should this be too late?
Also I'm not a TA Member... - so where can I get tickets than?

I kind of assume it will come out just before or just after the anni.

[Bigtop]

Well, it was about time for the return to Arena Tour! Understandable that Yoyogi is not an option (Olympics), so this is the first time since 2007 (branded as Asia Tour) an Ayu Arena Tour doesn't go to Yoyogi.

But...why is the "POWER of MUSIC" name being recycled? I don't understand about this... And 9600 yen for tickets!?

I probably think we might be going back to big Arena Tour productions that we've been familiar of! But I could also speculate they're trying to make up the costs since CD sales are no longer relevant for Ayu in recent times...

Yup, I think I remember that it was said accoustic in a Dome does too much damage to her ear.

[Gorgonia]

Being my first Ayu performance ever, I don't mind the type of show she does... but if I were to choose I would like to hear the original songs over classically rearranged ones. I loved PoM but I also love her hyped-up shows full of color and cheering. I know I will enjoy it no matter what anyway...

February 30... lol

I am super excited about this tour. I loved Power of Music so I am hoping that this will be a similar theme but taken to the next level. This is the 20th anniversary and for that, I am hoping for sth special rather than A best - 2. Power of music was, from what I remember, very well received, it stands out the most in Ayu's career (as a concert) and in a very good way so I am all in for both new arrangements of songs and keeping old ones as well. If it's accompanied with good production then I will be more than happy. I also believe that she is fully aware that this is the 20th anniversary and she won't disappoint.

[Chris85]

Since it's arena, live photos will probably be allowed again.
So there are no concerts in Fukui and Shizuoka this time. Will be added later plus grand finale?

[spanishfan]

So we have no idea yet when will lottery application starts?
