i might watch this on ustream if they do it again...

does anyone know how to watch it?

^last time you had to buy a ticket through a ustream account. I don't know exactly how much I paid, but I think converted it was about 20€. Then you could log in on ustream and watch it live. ^-^

It. Was. AWESOME.

A user here was kind enough to help me purchase my ticket, too :)

^yeah, I was so excited! For me it was the best part of New Year's Eve!

For me, too. I feel so anti-social xD Sitting in front of my computer alone and watching a concert stream

I asked me when will they announce the title of this countdown live ?

I looked and last year they announced it the week before the showing.

Also, CDL has no title yet, but it should be popping up soon. Early December is when we got do it again's title and HOTEL Love songs' was announced when CDL was announced since it was a 'scrapped' show at the time.

Congratulations to those who won tickets! SO LUCKY~!

I so NEED a track listing for this!!
When do they usually come out?

^As she is performing it on New Years Eve haha

Actually in the week or two before the show, people go to the venue and listen to her rehearsing. We usually get most of the setlist from those people going to Yoyogi.

Oh wow... I didnt realize people did that... or that she doesnt release a set list...
I never noticed... lol
Maybe next year I will be one of those people!!

...they've not been 100% correct I don't think, but yeah...

^ I just cant believe we get the track list from people eavesdropping, lol.

^ikr. LOL will this CDL be broadcasted on TV like every other year? As in, we'll get to watch the performance shortly after it airs and someone uploads it?

Hope she sing missing and song 4 u

I had no idea people actually went out there to listen to her while she rehearsed, that's kinda cool though.

CDL logo revealed~
http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...psfee1b783.jpg
It would have been nice if they didn't just paste the A on there >_>

oh... the logo is quite ok...
just the ayumi hamasaki font is not nice.

That cross... I suddenly think of CDL 05-06 Endless sorrow performance.

^ and AT07's kiss o' kill :luv2

I really like the logo, it will loo good on merchandise BUT ..., the wake up + cross sounds too much like some religious thing, like wake up your faith or sth, I don't mind but I'm afraid that if I get a bag with this logo people at my place will have weird thoughts about me :p

I'm not sure which is worse, the use of a cross for a performance that's going to be by no means religious, the out of place looking giant A or the signature with the I in both names looking like it was added on after the name was signed.

The entire point of a metaphor, simile, symbol or chiffre is taking aspects from an, usually otherwise unrelated, area to emphasize something in the piece. Ayumi uses her crosses as symbols, therefore the performances themselves not being religious is perfectly valid and even an artistically good choice.

she has use the cross about 3 times? and it wasn't religious at all.

Yahoo auctions' sellers mention rumours about central stage. I wonder if it's gonna happen or not :-)

it's from CDL 2010

I know, rumour has it that it's gonna looks similar.

not really liking the center stage.. a lot of things are being restricted. :( but we shall see.. :)

I got tickets!! OMG I'm gonna see ayu for the first time! Oh sooo excited!!! I got 2 tickets in arena - B4, seats - 131-132. Anybody knows where is it?? Is it too from stage? And also 2 tickets on West F 2nd row which must be pretty away from stage I guess.

Anyways I'm very happy!!

It's possible to buy second floor L tickets. Are there L tickets if the stage is on the side? Is it possible to see the stage is you sit there?

Don't bring religious discussion into the forums, please.

Was your team ayu number printed anywhere on the ticket?

I don't want a central stage at the first Ayu concert I'll be going to. :no

I found this at mixi

I'm not sure it's the same stage... lol

^^ no, but there's my name written.

^ my God, there's big chance that B4 is right before the catwalk!!!! I'm so excited!! btw I need to sell my second ticket. I wonder how Yahoo auctions work.

Aw man I don't want a center stage. XD (Thanks for the pics)

Will the reseller shop show the seat map before we buy the ticket????????

^ I think...
an no to the center stage... man, when i go there better NOT be a center stage!

I think the seating arrangements seem to be pointing at a do it again-like setup according to what fans are saying, but no one seems to know for sure.

that just reminds me me of A MUSUEM

What's wrong with a centre stage? I loved it during AT2009.


B is just behind A, which is kind of in the middle of the Arena.

This is what I had when I was at AT2009 and it was REALLY GREAT. I was towards the far right side and I saw really well. It was perfect for the runway and centre stage.

AT2009 was not a center stage. CDL ~do it again~ was the first center stage. ^^

Seems similar enough to me.... Either way she's in the middle..... I don't see how that's a bad thing ?

I don't like it because the screens are so small and the light effects are not that awesome and you see ayu's back half of the show because she sings in all directions and it's so annoying.

Babe, I think people mean the entire stage is in the centre, like CDL10-11 was, with Ayu in the centre the whole time and no arena stage set up. ^_^ I don't think she even used the catwalk in CDL10-11.

I think she's avoided the catwalk for about 2 years now even though it's there. She only showed up on it during MCs.

She did run down the catwalk at a-nation for evolution and did November at CDL1112 on there.

So that's how it is... Ok then. So the stage is only for like, the band. She only uses the middle, like CD10-11. GOT IT lol *derp-derp*

^Lol, yeah. It's all central. I don't want it to be like that for my first time... though when I get there I don't think I'll care... :mischief

When the music starts and you hear her sing you won't give a crap lmao

But with our tickets I think central would be better at this point...

How long is it before the goods go on sale?

There will be Ameba pigg streaming http://www.avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/news/121213.html

I hope UStream too...

She was on the catwalk during STEP you/Shake it at HLS Tour^^ What was great because our seats were near the catwalk platform *_*

It will be broadcasted in movie theater in Japan, Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong too !

I finally got my ticket for the 31st!!!!

Sooo expensive but it'll be my first CDL ever!!! :love :love :love

^ wow! where did you buy it??

Me too!!

How to use that Ameba pigg streaming?? Is it open for international fans or just Japanese fans?

Ustream seems much more straight forward...

omg lucky taiwan and hongkong!

I ended up with kind of sucky seats for CDL. Oh well. I'm in the stands near to where Enrique usually is. I'm excited to see this year's goods! If it's leopard print again...I don't know what I'll do lol. But considering the logo, I think they'll be rather interesting. The overall religious tone and all.

I'll only be attending the show on the 31st. :)

We should get a USTREAM announcement in like a week or so if it's happening. So excited!

Sad.... If only it's live screening in Singapore theatre too....

Im looking forward to goods as welll...

maybe we will get are first necklace AYU cross???????

Which block is that?

If there is a necklace, I will buy it! She should release some logo jewelry.

I want to attend on 31st too! Oh that should I do -_-

btw does anyone know how to launch auction on Yahoo auctions? I guess my B4 ticket will sell well :)

I bought them from the Shibuya reseller shop :)

I've got arena tickets for both 29th and 31st! I also wanna attend on the 30th but I dunno

^ can i ask home much those cost?
I wanna try and budget!

I won the tickets for the 29th, that was 8,500 yen, and the ticket that I bought for the 31st costed me 40,000 yen :thud

wow, almost 500.00... I hope they are good seats!

They had plenty of tickets for the 31st the last time I checked, but the prices were just... crazy lol some tickets were over 100,000 yen, and others were just over 10,000 yen.

I'm pretty sure they're gonna fly though.

^100,000Y are almost 1000€ :thud

Yep, for example for 31st arena B tickets are sold for 40-120 000 yen there.

I THINK we're in the first row of D block stand, north side I think. First row will be pretty awesome, will have a clear view of everything.

Why aren't you SURE? :-) Congrats on frist row anyway :-)
My ticket for 29 isn't shipped yet so I've got no idea what seat I'll end up with:D

Because I don''t know how the seating arrangements work in the arena since I've never been before, but we got seats 5 and 6. So going by the usual seating in any arena, it goes from lowest being at the bottom. That's all I'm going on. :innocent Does anyone know for sure?

Well, I see. You can check your seats and view from there here (click on D to view seating plan and on star near D to view the photos):

I was wondering that myself. I'm very curious to see what the goods are this time around. I'm also really hoping for a USTREAM broadcast this year. it was so nice they did that last year. it's so hard for us international fans to get to see her perform and USTREAM is the perfect outlet for everyone internationally to get to see her :) I really hope they do so again this time.

I want to go see her in concert! If I ever go to Japan while she is touring, I will make sure I see her! One of my friends here at home is apparently a huge fan and has already seen her live so now I am a tad jealous. I really hope there is a ustream!

OH WOW, thanks!! So we're not first row, lol, but oh well. :D

Last year it was the 11. January 2012. mu-mo shop
Announcement was the 22. December 2011 on ayu's website.

...so if there's no Ustream this year, is anybody willing to do a walkthrough on how to watch it on Amoeba Pigg?

My question too!!!

There's a walkthrough of how to do it on Misa-chan's blog, I believe. (though this time it's through Pigg Channel and not a place that is inside Pigg where you had to buy an item to watch something in the arena) However, after being able to see CDL10-11, PoM, and CDL11-12 on USTREAM, I think USTREAM is veeerrry likely, it's just going to be announced late.

http://misachanjpop.wordpress.com/?s=pigg

When are we gonna know that what kind of the stage she will use this year?

Going on the 30th like last year! Tickets kind of suck this year, but whatever! Can't wait to see the goods and set list ~

By the 29th, probably.

People have pieced together based on their tickets that they may have like a substage on the side with a runway leading to it kind of like Rock'n'Roll Circus' stage but no one really knows for sure.

I think if HOTEL Love songs is any indication, it'll probably just be her usual stage with some modifications and not a central main stage.

I need to see the goooooooooooods... :thud

CM for this year's CDL



Off-topic but I think it's nice to say. I saw some videos from the AT2010 and damn. How people can hate this woman who delivered this much in less than 2 years ago?

are the tickets selling well this year?

cool a CM... has it been decided if/when this is airing?

Seriously what's taking so long ?

I need to see the goods too! I need to know how much I can spend at Namie on Friday, haha.

Goods were posted on the 21st last year so perhaps it'll be around Friday?

Haha me too!

I have a friend is a member of TeamAyu but she said that she didnt win the lottery so she cant have a ticket to go & see ayu. Is it really hard to get ayu's concert ticket?

If they make a rosary with this logo I will be seriously tempted to buy one.

I wish for Asia Tour this year :D :D :D :D

It's very easy to go, because Japanese have no problem buying tickets at Yahoo auctions. Even if they have almost no money, they can always buy bad seat at lower than original price. There are about 500 tickets on sale at Yahoo every day these days. So if TA member didn't win the lottery, he or she can always purchase ticket at auction or at a reseller store.
IMO, not winning the lottery is no excuse for a fan :-)

Tonight is Namie! Where are ayu's goods?! Ahhhhh!

Went to buy a pair of tickets for friends at Yokohama Ticket in Shinjuku... he said that the block of seats that are closest to the "main stage," the stage she usually uses... like in Hotel Love Songs, etc, are almost never sold if the main stage is there because the main stage is taking up the space there. But this time that block of seats are being sold, which leads him to believe that it's going to be a circle stage.

Not for sure, but yeah.

so any chance this time it will be on your stream?
