^oooh no catwalk, but maybe the stage will be very extreme so no catwalk needed.

BTW you are sooo close to the stage, i hope you will be filmed

That's interesting, the past few years have been long catwalks and side stages for the CDL concerts, right?

haha I don't wanna be filmed xD
anyway, I'm happy to get tickets for both dates :)

Hi all!
I won TeamAyu ticket to the 30th concert, but I'd like to go to the 31st concert too...

I saw people saying that there would be second round of lottery? Is that for TeamAyu or for everyone? What's the website to enter the second lottery??

I checked Yahoo auction and the price is so scary, plus it's so hard to bid if you are overseas... >.< Anyone has additional 31st ticket? I was so sad when I did not win the 31st one...

^ The second lottery is for TA.

The lottery for normal consumers hasn't started yet. And I believe the ticket site through Avex (a-ticket) is by membership only, and it asks for credit cards/address/etc. so I'm not sure how possible it is for overseas customers... I believe this lottery starts the 29th? But don't quote me on that haha.

The second lottery is for TeamAyu!? That'd be great. Will they announce when the second lottery begins? And do we TA members just log in and enter the lottery like this time?

(I did not know there's a second lottery. Do they have this every year?)

There's no catwalk?? I love the catwalk!!!
But in CDL 2005-2006 there wasnt one and i loved it so..
I just ask for a HEAVEN performance..

Those are really nice seats!!! Lovely view of the entire stage and venue!! I love sitting there~~ :) Have fun!! :D

If I remember correctly, they won't have second lotteries unless alot of people who won the first lottery somehow didn't claim their tickets. So it's not always that they have the second lottery, esp for CDL (too high demand). But you can always hope~ ;)

Erm, nobody actually knows what the stage will look like until the 30th itself. The catwalk may still be there.

But seating this year seems very different. There used to be only blocks 1-7 for arena, now they're having all the way to block 10. I foresee a very very different stage from what she normally has... We'll see.

I have a general question about the TA ticket lottery. One person can apply for 2 tickets for the same date, right? So if you apply for 2 tickets on the same date, and you win two tickets for - let's say the 30th -, will these two ticket places be next to each other in the arena, or will you be seated randomly (like, not together)?

It whould be silly if they place the the 2 seats far away from each other o.o, I think they will be 2 seats together.

For me my tickets always got seated together so. I think that's the case. :)

2 or more tickets are seated together, which is why they are harder to obtain :P

It'll be together. So you either win 2 tickets or none, unless you choose the option which says "I want 2 tickets, but if I can't get 2, I don't mind 1", in which case you can enter the "1 ticket" lottery if you don't win the "2 ticket" one.

^ ok, thanks everyone for telling me! I am asking because of next year, when I want to go to AT11. My friend and I want to attend two dates, and for one we wanted to ask a TA member to help us entering the lottery.

@~angel*ayumi~ naja, in DEU gibts so "schlaue" Gewinnverteilungen manchmal:laugh wollt nur sichergehen.

(haha, got 1,234 posts now. that's funny)

There's a second lottery for TA members from 25th to 29th. Good luck!! :D

^I am so happy that they have this second lottery! I've entered the lottery immediately. Hope I will win 12/31 ticket this time!!! (*^.^*)

do you have to pay once you win them?

I wonder if this will be like the other CDLs and see her performing tracks she hasn't for a while, or whether it will be centered around the new album?

^SURREAL_RAINBOW, they usually give you a couple of days to retrieve the ticket at Lawson. I am not sure if we are obliged to retrieve the tickets or not. But I definitely will, because I really want the 12/31 ticket~~

^Tony, me too. I was wondering about the same thing too~ Somehow I want a fine balance between old/classic songs (I love JEWEL, M, and ASFXX haha), and new songs from the latest album. But I guess there won't be many songs from the new album, given that Ayu's been so busy with the recording. It will be very hard to familiarize herself with new songs/ remember all the lyrics... But that's my guess. ^.^

omg im not going but I am a TA member now :)

are we also allowed to vote for songs for the setlist of it too??

I wish I can go. How does everyone come up with money for tickets and plane tickets to Japan? ;_;

LOL That's what I want to know! :thud

I can't even express how much I wish I were going.

Lol I don't know about the others but I save save save. I have about 860 Euro each month. Then I use about 300 for bills and rent and such. 100 for food. 100-200 for pleasures and such. Then I put away the rest to my "Japan account". Then I collect birthday money and christmas gift money as a small bonus too. In that way I can be able to go back to Japan already this winter. :D

Same here, but my strategy's simpler. Eat less, save more!! :D

If you win, you have to be in Japan or know someone in Japan that can go to a Lawson convenience store to buy and print out the ticket. This has to be done by a certain date. That is why there is a second lottery; not everyone who was selected for tickets went and paid for and printed them out by the 24th like it said to in the email.

i hope ayu wiil sing "last angel" for first song in this CDL T^T
i hope she will perform "last angel" with same concepts from "step you" CDL03-04 ^^

I save all I earn with my jobs, pocket money, birthday / christmas / ... money. It's still hard and takes a long time. (at least if you're a student). (I've not been to Japan before, though, so I can't tell you how long it takes in general to earn all the money needed).
haha, and I like Misa-chan's strategy :laugh

Huh? STEP you in CDL03-04...?
The song didn't even excist by then.

Haha ikr. I feel like music always feeds me more. :D

worked all summer, and everything went for my Tokyo trip in October~ Now I'm a poor student Ayu-fan that uses oney just to eat and survive XD

ayu, the ultimate diet solution!! :heart

I have 5 people (including myself) trying to get tickets through TA for me. haha.

I hope she sings vogue

saw this on TA.. lol cheapness
http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/8005/cdl2010logo.jpg

i can't say i like it... at all.

This logo actually (in some ways) make me think that Love songs' cover will be fairy-themed.

well...beside the fact that it's too girly, i think it's actually pretty good. (guess no more hard rock'n'roll LOL)

Uglyyyyyyyyyy.

What, please don't say that's real..

But if it is, it needs a separate thread.

YIKESSSS

looks like a mutant butterfly

it look like the design team took the butterfly image from those stock photos that being sold on internet

if this CDL/love songs is fairy/princess theme, i am all for the logo.

Which kinda remind me to her costumes in PCDL for ANGEL'S SONG performance, ewwww.

I like it. and there's so many designs for A already, anyone ever come up with variations of logos? HARD! Especially when you're up to your like...40th design and you can't make it look like anything that's been done before.

+1

Hey! Did you get 12/31 tickets? I just learned the result from TA, and I did not win 12/31 tickets. >.<

Anyone has additional 12/31 tickets? Please PM me!! Thanks~~

Yes please. :love I also want a blossom~fairyland mash up for some reason.

Pretty much agree with this. The logos for the most part have looked same-ish. This definitely doesn't look like any of the logos before it, lol.

I hope this design means the "merch" will be pink and girlish with butterflies here and there... a silver pendant of this logo would be gorgeous :heart (I'm sure I'm alone in wanting this :roflmao).

^You are not alone. I want a silver pendant of this butterfly logo too!! :D

CDL's formal title will come out at 10PM Japan time? I'm surprised it's coming out so lateish AFTER the logo came out.

+1 ~

So there is a title! I can't wait =D

YAAAAAY!!!! can't wait :) maybe it only will be "10th anniversary of CDL" or smt like this xD

TITLE REVEALED!


『ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2010-2011 A ～do it again～』


From TA :D

Thanks!
So she will sing do it again from Love songs for sure! :laugh

Too bad I don't like the logo, though I love butterflies. It looks so cheap.

Anyone has additional 12/31 tickets? Please pm me! Thanks :)

do it again has to be somehow a very important song? is not even the title of the album :thud hmmm very interesting!! I can't wait to find out more about this CDL!! *o*

really? i like this tittle!! it sounds so funny lol
now i can't wait to see the whole show ._.

Maybe there wasn´t a special title planned, but fans asked why there is none and so they made one^^

WOW FOR REAL? DO IT AGAIN?
cool..first time a CDL is named after a song...i was expecting something to do with her 10th anniversary...I wonder what concept this CDL will have..

I wonder if she's "doing again" some of her old CDL performances all over again! :thud OMG LOL

nothing special but still GREAT!!

oh god.

I think I would have preferred her to call it COUNTDOWN LIVE 2010-2011 A ~November~.

not really creative...take a song title. But I hope we'll see why she took that name after see all CDL.

Haha. Then I guess (and hope) that do it again is an EPIC song!

I wouldn't cause... you know, the CDL is in December/January XD dunno :P

for the rock'n'roll-circus one it could've been: 'countdown live 2009-2010 ~count down~' lol

...yeah...and yet somehow it's better than that catastrophe of a song title...:P

Uhh...what were they thinking about? I'm not sure at this...

LOL omg

I'm not seeing the big deal in how this name is bad or whatever. I'm excited to see how this CDL will be~

LOOL @ count down i think it sounds fine =]

"do it again" sounds really nostalgic to me; I would think she'd be looking to the future with her butterfly logo (and new album to promote).

Woahh the title of this year's CDL is totally unexpected!
haha..it's pretty "plain" but it's pretty cool though!

I'm excited, I'm sure Ayu will surprise us like she always does. :yes

Wouldn't stress too much over the subtitle, Future Classics was a pretty random title.

As always we'll just have to wait and see what she's got up her sleeve and I'm sure it'll be fantastic! :D

I have a feeling....Ayu Coffin will make a second appearance :innocent

I am so excited by that name for some reason. Maybe since this is the closest an album has come release date-wise to the actual CDL performance since miss(understood), so it'll be a lot of new, fun stuff in a short period of time.

-newb question ololol-

Does anyone know of a way to watch CDL without being there before it goes to DVD? Like does it stream at all?...

I've been wondering this for years and never found an answer...

haha, what an odd choice for the CDL subtitle. i guess we'll see why she chose it soon enough though!

Maybe it has that name because you know...she's doing it again. I mean, this IS her 152nd consecutive CDL.

for some reason i have think of Morning Musume "Do it now", no idea why lol
i think the title is allright...better a kinda lame title with a awesome concert behind it than the other way around. Nowi'm really curious about setlist, costumes, what the stage looks like etc.
and of course the goods!!

I think it's a cool title, considering it's her 11th CDL??
i Love the fonts they used for the cover and logo ~
the butterfly makes me thing that too... ;)

yay!!i am sure that she will sing do it again for start the concert ^_^

Very puzzled by that title. Hmm...

kind of just says "oh well, time for this stuff again" lol. I wonder how she's gonna make a song the theme. They probably just smacked that title on for the sake of giving it a title.

The title sounds unexpected...since we dont know what type of song it is

I'm really, really afraid of the hidden meaning of CDL's subtitle.

Dance Dance do it again♪

I get a best of CDL 2 vibe...

The title is lame but fun and cute at the same time... kind of like the logo. Maybe this will be a continuing theme? XD

Idk, I got a feeling it's going to be either a PCDL or Best of ~CDL~ type of thing... with new songs and classics that haven't been performed in a long time (or at all). Just have to wait and see.

You know, I think Love Song would make a great opening to a concert, I can imagine Ayu singing first verses with little or even no background music and then the next verse would strike with full power :p I guess she will surprise us again like the last two years, I doubt she will start with Microphone again.

I really want Liar / Criminal / It was... / Life, wish we could all just spam her twitter with request on one particular day, but if she's already rehersing I guess it's too late.

I'm still waiting for my Liar/criminal/GUILTY medley :( It'd be so perfect.

I like the title!^^

The title is...interesting.
ayu: Oh well, its CDL, let's ~do it...again...~ xD

i loved this title =)

Somehow, I feel like Future Classics the 2nd is coming~

surely they can't do that theme again though!?

i hope not at least.

It sounds like something where the fans would vote for the songs.. but I like the title.. it'd be interesting to see what some fans would choose for her to sing! Hopefully awesome songs she's never sung live XD

I want to hear do it again now, it must be pretty good if it got the CDL title. First time something like this has been named after song?

I guess she couldn't call it Love songs, she might need that for the tour next year haha

Well, not that the CDL title actually says anything about it, but she seems to enjoy performing older hits at CDL anyway.

I wouldn't mind if she pulled out some older performances and worked some newer tracks into them~
