I'm so curious about setlist!

I don't think ayu care much.. She was even so happy to pose a cute face when her fans try to take her pictures during Made in Japan Tour.

Many people record and take pictures with their phone.. Avex can't control that.

I think that allowing the fans to take pictures in some parts of the concert is such a progress in Japan. I mean... we're living in the social media era. People do want to share pictures of everything they're living! And the solution to just allow them to take picture during some parts is brilliant cuz you don't have to see cellphones in front of you during the whole show cuz that's really annoying. I think Ayu is, somehow, creating a new way of enjoying a concert that will probably be followed by other artists.

I also like that fans are allowed to take some photos. Sometimes concert rules are too strict so it's nice to see a fair compromise.
I like that only certain portions are allowed too. It's so dumb how some people are constantly on their phone the whole time. Enjoy the moment in real life!:yes

OMG I am so excited! My dream to see ayu live finally comes true :D Going to Tokyo from July 5-17 ok now questions. How do one buy the tour ticket..do I just go to the venue and buy it on the day of or is there something similar to ticketmaster that's not in Japanese?

Wonder which picture they'll pick to the postcard!

I arrived in Japan last night, and I am SO excited for the show this weekend!

THAT FUCKING LOGO IS ATROCIOUS WHY DID THEY PLASTER IT ON THE POSTER

100% THIS.

Perfect photo, until the logo on it............

F**K THIS LOGO

So excited for you!

What's the purpose to add that ugly thing there? and the color doesn't even match, it looks awful :no

Does anyone know what time her goods will go on sale on Saturday? Also, ew @ that poster lol

Goods on Saturday will be on sale at 14:00, you can get that info on official page.

People start lining up the night before though, we've arrived at Yotogi at 9am one year and the line has been around the arena. So I suspect the first day will be like this.

I found that people are way more enjoy to take the photo than watching her performance in Made In Japan tour and last CDL, lol

Is the logo that bad?:laugh
I will admit though, I would probably sell the poster online instead of keeping it.:tipsy

If only the logo was more elegant looking to match her picture D:

At least we can cut the whole logo side out and the poster will still be complete lol That's a nice idea for those who will have it

Can anyone answer my question please...? I really want to go but where can I buy get her tour ticket? I'll be going to Osaka during the tour days.

You can't buy them officially since the lottery has ended, so you'll have to buy them from resellers: either online or at ticket shops in Japan. You can buy them online from Yahoo Auctions, ticket.co.jp or ticketcamp.net for example, but you'll have to find a middle-man, because you'll need a Japanese address and phone number to register on those sites. I don't know any ticket shops in Osaka though, so you'll have to ask someone else or search them on your own...

fans heard rehearsal outside of the Yokohama Arena

^ I can totally see she singing this song in this tour!

I'm not sure but maybe you can buy them at Convenience Stores like Lawsom and Famil Mart (I'm not sure which one).

That's an option as well, but aren't they usually sold out pretty fast?

^ It depends on the day of the week/venue. Last year they added standing tickets at Gaishi Hall the last minute and those were still available the day before the show. I would only use this as a last resort because it's not reliable, especially if it's in Osaka.

I guess Part 1 is reflecting her 10 years career and she will perform this song
I guess she will perform Tell All as well

have fun everyone going to yokohama this weekend ... can't believe it's been a year since M(A)DE IN JAPAN :O

5 weeks until yoyogi! woop!

Judging by CDL I was surprised that most people just watched the show, I was one of few ones who used their phones.

cant wait to see outfits and setlist

I think the outfit will be almost the same like cdl.. But i hope they will change the outfit and the setlist..

The tour has a different runway than the CDL and it's not a circle nor a quater or the "A" logo.

That's fine, I think exntended catwalk shall appear for the final shows.
https://twitter.com/KH0817/status/863326029145821184 -> with such fans Ayu can feel safe forever :D

this light stick looks really nice

Timmy's voice just announced that the show will begin soon.

On Instagram there are a lot of pictures people holding them and it looks really fun

Oh i really liked Walk in the countdown so I'm glad about it.

ALRIGHT time to address the elephant in the room: Anyone has any info as to how she sounds?

It's one of my favourite newer songs. It's just soo good. i wonder if she manages not to cry this time.

Wow, flowers from Music Station.
And yas for Walk!

wonder will she keep Virgin Road or change it back to M

meh not a fan of this dress and the silver outfit with her busty chest

Must admit that I'm not the biggest fan either. The CDL outfits were okay but like, I hope she'll use new outfits for this tour and that she maybe replaces the CDL ones.

Omgg rain!!!! Like 2006

This is just one of my all tiime favourite songs and she can sing it as much as she wants to!

OMG Walk and my name's WOMEN

Never thought I needed this tour in my life

I love the setlist ;-;

OH MY GOD to the water show! The last time she had such a huge one was like CDL 06-07 (I don't count the little one during CDL HLS) right? Correct me if I'm wrong!

Seems as if she wears a feather headpiece for my name's WOMEN hope that she will keep it until the final!

09 appears

Are you sure it's water and not some sparkly stripes?
Appears? Now that's a turn.

I love the set list, however the stage and the costumes look really cheap somehow.

Now where you say it... To me it looks like water but eh, I post from an old mobile since my charger for my normal one is dead so I don't have a too great quality!

thats it, cant beat Cirque de Minuit :o :o

Im okay if she recycles the VR dress at AT10, not this old grandma's curtain-like dress

I am so sick of my name is WOMEN -_-

same

I think the majority of us are...

Did Ayu watch Moulin Rouge? Because if this outfit and hearts etc.. Seriously tho, a water show for my name's WOMEN and this fancy outfit? I really want her to keep it for the final! This looks so much greater than every performance if the somg before :0 (Final is still millions of years away)

Even if it's not a watershow, it looks great indeed!
