It must feel SO GOOD to do that. I seriously want to preorder this now. O__________O.

I preordered it so fast, I barely even realized I did it. It was just like, "click click click" ALL DONE! I can't wait til this shows up in my mail. It will be the best day ever. I'm going to make everyone watch this with me because I can be like "I went to this!!!"

again I'm just going to ask a friend to put it on hold for me :D

WOOT. Great news for me after a great few days on vacation :P :D

The DVD will come out on my friend's 21st birthday! :D We're both excited since we went to that performance together :P Yay! *preorders* :)

I was saving up my money to get the Sims 2? Screw that, man! I'm going to buy this when it comes out! :D (I never knew a THING about AT06. The outfits with the songs, if there were intro videos, so maybe I'll actually buy this one... and with my own money!)

When I saw the preview clips of that outfit, I never really liked it. It looks great on the cover, though!

:eviltongu I despise the cover. Hated the outfit from the start, and it looks even worse in the background.

I'm waiting with pre-ordering untill I see if they have any kind of special offer for it :)... I wanna see what CDJapan has to offer, hehe.

Eh..Ayu hardly ever has limited or special offers X_______x

Maybe the stores have :3... Okay... well... whatever... I'll pre-order it some time in the future.

Does anyone know what

オフショット映像　予定

Is? Is that special features? Cause they better reveal that magic trick... >_>

It's the offshot snap.. You know, like the backstage stuff that shows her messing up or making weird sounds..

Holefully it'll have snaps of the messed up alterna performance :).

Yay! That's probably where they might reveal the trick! =]

It'll probably have snaps from everything that happened..

Unless they for some reason don't wanna show bloopers D>

yeah...backstage was the most interesting part that i want to watch

I want the concert... and backstage... I cant wait untill 1.11. o.o" damn... so wanna buy it

WHA?
AWFUL!..cover
:eviltongu

^Do you like any of her concert tour covers?

I wonder if I do.

the concert tour 2000 ones are kind of good

I don't like pink/blue ones :/. I think I like AT2k3-2k4 the best... it's weird, but it is one of the only covers where I think the designer actually have a sense of style... I like it a lot.

Uhhh, WONDEFUL cover, LOVED IT... sad, I won't buy this one i.i
I hope I can find some GIANT scan of the cover to make a poster :D

immel. o_o

You didn't like DOME TOUR's?! D:

^No.

countdown live 2000-2001 A's is pretty nice though.

immel-ado. :<

Oh well. I really like all of the covers <3
That might be because I'm an Ayubetch.

Yes, that sure can have an awesome effect on your judgement :).

Biased opinions are the best :yes.

I think that A MUSEUM had a pretty cover :D

It sort of was like this one, except with a wedding dress one.. D: XD

i hate the A MUSEUM wedding dress :(

The image on A MUSEUM is pretty, but I don't find it making up a very good cover.

Well, it's the inside that counts :D.

Yeah.

Honestly though. Like I said before;

IF ANY OTHER OUTFIT WAS FEATURED. People would've loved this cover LOL
Except maybe the Pride outfit.

Doesn't matter. Last year's cover sucked imo but it still had excellent content so I don't really care about the covers.

@Anthy - Haha... yeah, I can imagine a dark-y cover featuring the alterna ball with Ayu hanging from it in some awesome pose... X_X

I liked last year's cover LOL

It gave a little of everything, so that people could like peer in and see what they're gonna get before they even buy it!~ <3

I guess they're finally going away from that concept lol

I like the pink, but I don't like the design... but I think it looks good :).

The pink was nice but the design was too chaotic.

http://i10.tinypic.com/33otxkm.jpg
Yes it was, but I still thought it kinda fit.. since there was no one definitive outfir for MY STORY :)

And like.. CDL0506 had the centerpiece of the Endlesssorrow <33

Maybe if the images were blended more it would have looked less haphazard. But in the end I didn't really care since I loved the content.

truehappiness you are awesome.

Apply to avex's design team now and the DVDs will look like if they're from a dream.

Now I don't feel like buying the real one... I need a larger version of that cover so that I can print it and use it instead.

Nah. LOL I know what would be better..

~__~

o___o Why am I making these covers anyway LOL
Wow I did one like the.. other one.. I think.. LOL

^ Wow... o_o *blinks* You even made the Pride/rainy day outfit look good on your cover, truehappiness... *amazed* The other ones are great, too. Good job! ^^d

Because one day avex will stop by with a helicopter and pick you up.

avex doesn't have helicopters. They have flying trains.

^ I love Your covers truehappiness. All of them.... far more than the original one...

omg that's amazing! you should make covers for avex! Although the original cover is good; these are all fantastic!

First and last cover is nice :D

I love those covers 0.0 omg! Go to japan NOW XD make a last minute change on the AT06 cover XP

As much as I like the actual cover, I think it would have been even better if truehappiness had designed it. Either the alterna one or the 3rd one in the grouping would have been wonderful :)

The Arena Tour 2003-2004 one was good =D

I thought people hated it cause of the circus mask. .LOL

The mask is... weird, but the design/layout is nice, and so is the "color" scheme.

Geuss I don't =D

03-04 had the best cover ever. XD

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVBD-91452
CDJapan has it up! <3

48 cameras sounds pretty impressive, anyone know how many there was for AT05?

I wish it was released on HDDVD/BluRay :D... would be way awesome.

Clear box, like for AT05? Guess so.

48 cameras..so would they do like a multi-angle dvd option if they used that many cameras?
cause that would be really neat.

^They have that amount so that they always have Ayu from a good angle, however crazy she is jumping or running around on the stage.

Having multiple angle options for a DVD takes too much space, say, if they have a 1 hour concert with two different angle options it would take up as much space as a 2 hour concert on DVDs, so probably no multiple angles.

you should be a graphic designer :yes u will be very successful :D
the cover are all sooo nice and ayu should take them instead! :luv2

Exciting.

OMG truehappiness... Ur covers are way too amazing! U should recommend Ayu to use it officially! Hehehe I think the third n the fourth are the best, tho' all of them are great! Hehehehe^^

If there was a way to contact Ayu we'd definately spam her about those covers... can you post replies on Ayus official blog? Can you post pictures? :D

It's shiny~~*_*

the 2nd cover art is very professional

truehappiness would be a proffessional if someone paid him money to do his work.

Why don't someone :/?

largest undertaking ever? o_0

It's her largest tour up to date, and the rest of it is just pretty words.

I`m gettin` it!

OVERSEAS

*calp*

OVERSEAS

*clap*

I'm considering that too, but it'll take so much extra time :(.

Usually it's at the most.. 2 weeks after the official date :p

Yes, that is a LOT of time! I can watch the tour a hundred times in that time!

Welcome home from school.

Usually Overseas even take 1 month for HK version, because they have to translate all the MCs and live shows 'conversations' sentence by sentence. It was the same thing like MY STORY LIVE DVD last year...I got it a long with HEAVEN in the end of september...waited too long

mmmm it will be a box set! Yay!

I think the rest of Arena Tours might be box sets from now on :D

Ah, yes. It's like Disney. Nasty covers, good contents.

Either way. I'm happy about the release date. It's just like what that one person said a couple months ago.

Not all of them are bad

:P

[/offtopic]

wahhhhhh!!! can't wait hahahahha

largest undertaking ever?!
WOW!!!

i'm sure this concert rocs! :D should be as good as MSAT or around there :yes

It's ayu's biggest tour ever? I guess they don't count dome tour?

Dome Tour had very few performances, in total there was around 150-200k tickets sold.

Arena Tour 2006 had somewhere around 260k tickets sold in total.

If I remember the numbers correctly >_<.

Well I like that cover..^^

cool!!! definetely going to buy it... if i can. i was hoping for a better cover though

Though at that time she was the only female at solo-status who could completely fill 4 dome up with fan :)

Yeah, and she probably still is the only one :)...

Not only is she the only female solo artist who can, she is one of the only solo artists who can manage that, at all. Impressive.

I'm pretty sure that she'd still be able to fill the Domes, seeing as the Saitama Arena was sold out for two consecutive evenings, which is 34k tickets in total, although a lot of people probably watched the performance twice. When it comes to popularity in live performances I don't think there's many other solo artists even near her level.

It'll be so cool if ayu will do another dome tour for her 10th anniversary

yeah that would be awesome if she would do that,
I'd definitly wanna go see that show

I think that Ayu is a rare individual who only comes along once every like 30 years..

Just look at the success she's had... and compare it to the life she had before.. :o

I think I read this somewhere, but wasn't Namie Amuro the first female singer to fill all four domes?

edit
yep, Namie toured the four domes in 1997 in support of her album Concentration 20.

Also I don't think Ayu will ever tour the four domes again, because didn't she say her hearing would be severely affected if she played in such a big venue? her hearing in one ear is still slightly impaired isnt it?

That is what I also heard, her hearing was severely effected because of the insane sound level in the dome... it was crazy at Yoyogi Arena which holds 12,000 people... I can imagine how it will be in a dome with 50,000 people.

It's true! Most acts today are barely staying on the charts, and need so much promotion. I know that as Ayu gets older, she's needs more promotion, but she is still making incredible music. I find it amazing! I can't wait for this ARENA TOUR. This might be my first ayu product (hopefully)... I've kind of convinced my brother to get it for me for a Christmas Present

omg!! i can't wait!!

im not fond of the dvd cover though, why THAT outfit o_O

Look who's no.1 at HMV's order ranking LOL

http://www.hmv.co.jp

That's nice, first time I've seen her top it... I don't even think she went up on any of those lists with BLUE BIRD? I don't know, maybe she did and I just missed it :/.

She probably did.. :/ I think this list changes daily though..

Yea that's Ayu.. The absolute #1 in concerts. Even most people who don't like Ayu would like to go to her concerts.. The shows are just...superior!

Here are screencaps from the AT06 video shown at a-nation :D

My god, is that the ugliest cover or what.

It's not :)

http://www.eneabba.net/ayu/disco/alb...front-main.jpg

Beautiful concert pictures...

...and I've grown quite fond of that album cover ._.

That's the most hidious cover from Ayu, seriously..
