...literally in what way is this tour similar to Premium Showcase?

It would be a bit odd if she ended in Osaka Jo.

I think she's only done that once? Or was it Marina Messe Fukuoka?

Because it's relatively short (at this point at least), we got all the songs before the album was released. And, my bad, I thought the tour goods featured the pop art, but I just checked and it was the CDL before PSC.

I'm not saying it's very similar, but just reminds me a little bit.

Asia Tour 2007 ended in Fukuoka, last year´s tour and several of her early tours ended in Yokohama.
So why shouldn´t she end a Tour in Osaka?

Seems a bit strange since the usual finale is Yoyogi. I understood AT07 since they were doing the asbestos removal and some of the Yokohama dates thanks to size, but Osaka Jo is a bit random IMO.

Why is Osaka Jo Hall random to you?
It's one of the biggest arenas in Japan (around 16,000 people just like in Saitama and Yokohama) and one of the biggest cities in Japan.
Yoyogi is smaller and even though it is somehwat her signature concert venue, Osaka isn't really random.
It'd only be her first time ending there.

For Ayu, it is random.

I believe the last time a tour extension happened, we had a finale at Osaka Jo Hall during the first set as well. Or it was slated before a Yoyogi was added to the end.

One thing though, Osaka Jo Hall is almost always just before the tour final.

Monochrome has been documenting her live #s and after this set of shows, she'll be at concert #507 with CDLs included.

Last tour extention was CdM, the first leg ended in Yoyogi and the final leg then ended in Yokohama.

I don't think the venue is an indicator lol I mean, yeah, she normally does her finales at Yoyogi, but last year the final dates were initially at Yoyogi and then she added a few dates and the actual final was in Yokohama.

Even if she does extend the tour, I'm glad we'd be getting the footage of both versions of the concert then.

I guess we should wait and see, because all we can do is speculate :D

I wonder if it'll be another TA Tour like last year instead a MiJ extension.

It's just that throughout her history aside from Marina Messe Fukuoka during the renovations, it has almost always been Yoyogi or Yokohama.

I think Osaka Jo Hall would be a great place for the final.

Group Shot Sendai 22. May

A lot of women with same hair style as ayu's. I wish i could get mine to stay that way too, but I don't have enough hair for that...

looks like the demographic of her fans now is on 25s-40s range...
