Everyone was speculating that chapter 3 would be on domes but it's all halls again.
Also, she said the band will return on chapter 3 but chapter 3 is also full of hall concerts.

I never saw a speculation it will be in Domes? o.o Most were expecting a TA Tour Chapter in Zepps I think.
And Yo-Chan said a-nation was the last time this year, so band will be probably be back for Anniversary Tour/Celebration

It was on a facebook group that people were expecting domes, not really here.
About the band return, probably :)

Yeah, I would guess the actual anniversary stops will be where it's big.

TBH except for a 20th anniversary singular dome concert a dome is very delusional. We all love ayu on here and I love ayu a lot but let's not kid ourselves here...

So is there anyone that can assist in getting tickets for Nagora or Kobe for the third leg? I know about the lottery...never done it before. I just want to make sure I get tickets somehow!!!

I wonder why even speculating at all about other venues than halls?
It was pretty clear from the first info, that the tour starts with arenas and would be all halls after that.

Pretty interesting with the dates announcement for the third chapter. No information how the third chapter will play out (the theme?).

But what really interested me is the New Year's Eve live... Ayu's no longer taking part of the Kouhaku, and Yoyogi's closed off for Olympics renovations... No traditional CDL, but maybe a toned-down one or something?

This New Year's for 2017-18 is going to be much different with the fact that there's no traditional Ayu CDL that we used to have...

So no CDL this year.... I'm not used to it!

^there's one show on new Year's eve in Tokyo. Who knows they'll probably move it to a latter time as for the countdown :)

I think the theme is liberation.

I think this tour is very biblical, 1st chapter began with communion then sacrifice for 2nd chapter and then liberation for 3rd chapter.

I also think I read somewere that her ear can´t handle the accoustic in a Dome anymore.
First time we know her ear got problems was Dome Tour 2001 if I remember right.

Yes, she got first signs of deafness during Dome Tour 2001. I think she became completely deaf of her left ear in 2007 and this year, she's getting deaf of her right ear too. To be honest, it would be better if she didn't tour at all in order to heal (like Mika Nakashima did) but better small venues than a dome.

Hi, am thinking of going for the 3rd chapter and has just signed up for teamayu international. Any kind soul can advise how to go about buying the tickets?! Many thanks!!

I just sign up today too haha, I'm thinking to join in Okinawa

Yes! But I'm loving this new tour pattern! I'm glad she's trying new stuff out of her usual pattern (not releasing an album this year, noir singles and changing how she tours).

We just have to wait until they announce that lottery is open. Normally you should receive an email from TeamAyu. I suspect we will get news after September 20. Still a lot of time until December. Btw I subscribed in August because I was already counting on having shows in Dec-January. Will try to get Kyoto and Saitama
