So it really is tour 2017-2018, one year long tour... Having to wait for another week and partial announcement is frustrating. I guess I'll have to accept that she will skip CDL this time. i think first 15 dates are arenas in biggest cities. Let's see.

Ugh, another week? This is so annoying. I really just want to book my trip to Japan already but I need to make sure I'm going when she has a performance. Is this the longest we've ever had to wait for dates?

It's beyond frustrating. I wonder though - if those are 15 dates or 15 cities...If it's 15 dates spread throughout 2 months - that sucks!

Hopefully the tour starts in June...

Probably not 15 cities but 15 performances... She must perform twice in some cities.

Interesting to know the final will be around next year spring! Time to plan my next trip to Japan! <3

She said "15 performances" in her tweet, not cities

So if I was planning to go to the anniversary tour next year... does it mean i will have to buy my tickets this spring... a year in advance?

^ I don't think they'll announce the other dates very soon... As someone said here I think they didn't even picked all the venues that's why they will release just a few dates first.

I was supposed to go to Japan either in May/June/July 2018 to see her but now i don't even know if she'll be touring at this time of the year lol I really wanted to see her for her 20th anni, but well let's wait and see what she has in store for us.

Yep, exactly what I suspected. The tour will run over next year and I'm guessing with the final date being on her debut anniversary.

I can't see her doing another tour soon after her upcoming one ends in spring 2018. TeamAyu tour in autumn is a possibility though. I have a feeling that the set-list will change dramatically for the final.

Also think that, as 8th April is a sunday. And with Tour ending in Spring it screams for finale on that day.
But that also means it will be hard to get tickets for that date.

I hope they will elaborate more, fresh stage, fresh thing, and absolutely more budget for the show since this will be super long tour.

I wonder if the ticket lottery will open for all the dates in advance...

That would mean they would announce all the dates and she said they would not.

ZIN made an instagram live video minutes ago and he said that the tour will start in May...

I already booked my vacation next month to Japan, guess no ayu for me! (unless I run into her in Tokyo posing in her streetwear clothes for her next instagram photo post)

Sooner than I expected...

So if someone was waiting for next year to register for TA to buy tickets for the actual 20th anniversary... now they're screwed?

If the tour ends that late then there won't be a new tour in 2018.

It's too late to register for TA now to buy tickets for this tour. And we'd have to buy the tickets 1 year in advance or something.

^second, third and each other lottery may have later deadline to TA members
