Majority of her concerts since 2000 have been predominately in the larger cities in Japan since she mainly performs in large arenas of 10,000+ people (ex. Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama, Osaka, Nagoya, Shizuoka, Fukui, Fukuoka, Hiroshima). Since she has been performing in smaller venues lately, she can visit more smaller cities/towns such as Okinawa, where I don't think she has ever made a stop and probably her first in her 19 year career

YEA!! Wow thats quite monumental :) its really nice that she finally has a tour that can officially include smaller places. Even for TeamAyu live she probably wouldnt have gone out so far down

wow I missed something

This is a rather specific question which will pertain to only those who have already attended a showing of the second chapter, but I am wondering if anyone noticed from which section audience members were chosen from when they attended the show? The reason being that I am contemplating buying a front row seat for the Chiba show, but if nobody has been chosen from the front row then I should probably abstain from doing so, because I've already gone to this chapter twice and really the only reason I'm thinking about going again is so that I have another chance at being picked, lmao.

Wow you were picked before? How did they pick people? During the show?

No I didn’t get picked but I want another chance to be picked. Lol.

And yeah during the show the dancers come into the crowd and look at people and make their rounds around the hall.

Man I've been so busy lately I haven't checked up on it yet. I REALLY want to go! Are the tickets released yet? Sold out?

How on earth are you able to get a front row ticket??

on yahoo with enough money in your pocket?

The one I attended, the dancers just went to the centre/aisle and pick ppl. So maybe near the walking area and stand out a little?

I hope you get picked! :D

For sure! I'm going to Kobe as well so it'll be nice to see a familiar face ^_^

according to news sites, first show at osaka started 1 hour late and ayu didn't perform encore songs

also, rehearsals for 3 chapter started today

Annoying question from me to anyone that has been to one of the shows this leg: what time did it finish/how long was the show? Trying to plan getting back from one of the concerts and want to make sure it is feasible. THanks

Is it possible to know the TeamAyu ticket seat allocation before the actual day?

^ Nope.

I thought it was possible to know the seat location if you are not overseas fan. Overseas fan get their tickets at the show, but other TeamAyu fans get theirs faster. That’s why after some time the seat locations are added to the auction sites.

Anyway I don’t think I’m gonna go again. The ticket I was looking at says between 1st and 5th row. The seller has 4, and has dropped the price already by 9,000 yen, but like I said - I’ve already seen it twice and with this third time I’d have too much hope riding on being selected. Last time I made a sign and everything and didn’t get picked, lol.

Japanese fans (or fans being in the Japanese FC) get their tickets about a week before the concert by post. Or for some systems you can also print them out in a Conbini. That's how they know their seats.

Thanks for the replies guys!!

Also, I strongly doubt theres gonna be a 2nd Ballot round for international fans anymore right? Any possible way to still get tickets for Chp3 using an overseas credit card?

Yes. General sales for some shows of third chapter have already started. Some are sold out though.
ローソンチケット site for example accepts foreign credit cards and has an option to print your ticket in convenience store. You need someone who knows Japanese to help you apply online.

Thanks so much!! Hmmm seems like the feb dates arnt on sale at all on that site. Any idea if there are other sites like it?

・Yahoo!チケット：http://r.y-tickets.jp/ayu1701
・ローソンチケット：http://l-tike.com/ayu-jtb20-lt/
・イープラス：http://eplus.jp/ayu-jtb20tour2017/
・チケットぴあ：http://w.pia.jp/t/ayumihamasaki/
http://www.cnplayguide.com/evt/cttop...i%20&rNum=7224

I'd suggest you follow the news on Ayu's official website and also check above mentioned sites for updates. I know for sure that cnplayguide and Lawson ticket accepted my card. Ticket Pia and Eplus didn't as far as I remember.
There are usually 2 chances on these websites: at first they have pre-order lottery and then the general public sales start.

Is second chapter being broadcasted as well? any info about it? I'm kinda lost haha

For those websites that accept foreign cards, do they also mail over seas/allow you to print at a conbini or do you still need a Japanese address? I'm looking for February tickets but I'm not sure where I'm going to be depending on when they mail out the ticket

SUPERAPPECIATE YOU FOR FINDING ALL THE LINKS FOR ME!! :love

They made changes to the eplus and ticket pia sites this year.
Now you need to enter a confirmation code that the site sends to the phone number you use to make an account. So now you need access to a Japanese phone number to get the code :/

I thought lawson was going to use the same system, but I can't find the email from them so I could be wrong.

I just saw on twitter. Apparently it seems that tonight’s concert has been called off due to ayu being in poor physical condition.

Edit: Somebody else posted that it’s acute bronchitis.

Seems they cancelled it the very last minute, ppl allready were on their seats waiting for the show to start.
I wonder why there is no official announcement yet? o.o

Oh no! Acute bronchitis again? :(( Hope she gets better!

Ayu is only at the halfway, next live will be 30th

I wish her to stop performing at the autumn and winter. How many times she canceled lives because of her health condition, and this year also because of typhoons

She must be very sick when she canceled the concert :(. I hope she gets well soon.

Yeah, it seems to happen like once a year now around this time.

She overdoes it too much.

Would you happen to know how long you have to make payment for the pre-order lottery tickets, since you need to pay in-store?

I wonder if tomorrow's concert will take place... I hope they give us enough time before cancellation if her health still hasn't improved.

No word yet if they're going to broadcast this chapter?

What a bummer, ya'll. I understand why this has to occur, I mean if she's sick, she probably shouldn't hurt her voice. But, I just feel sad for all of the people who travel far to see her shows.

I hope they at least make a statement in advance, I definitely don't wanna go to Ichikawa for nothing...

News on her site say it will go as planned. Ayu has recovered well.

Last minute and progress at rehearsal videos of third chapter

^^ good to hear! Glad she's feeling better

OMGGGG Last minute :3

i hope she sings walking proud so much

Me too! Love Last Minute and Walking Proud is amazing. Walking Proud from CDL 2004-5 is one of my all time favorite live performances from her!

I really hope the band is back for chapter 3, because both those songs and progress kind of require the guitar solos...

Looks like things are okay.

im dreaming of a BAND Chp 3 since Chp 2 focused on DANCERS. i think the dancers deserve a break too hahah

and maybe for her 20th anni next year, they will all come back together for 1 big ARENA TOUR or DOME :X

Yo-chan said he will not tour with ayu at 2 and 3 chapter

Ok thats sad. LOL

====

Anyway, LAWSON Tike seems to have lottery for February dates for Ayu's Chp3 now but can someone verify if overseas IP address/credit cards are allowed?
EDIT: OK i re-signed up for an account using a japanese address but the payment and collection seems to be at the physical store. No other options available. Is this the case for LAWSON Tike now?

What makes you think so?
You print your ticket at the store, yes.
In payment options they say credit card or chocom. I didn't see any indications that you need to go to the store to pay.
Moreover they state that in case if you win the payment will be done automatically (which can't be done if they wanted you to go to a physical store).
That was the case with me one year ago, when I participated in a lottery for live viewing of GENERATIONS concert. When I won the ticket, they automatically charged my credit card, then I collected my ticket at conbini.

It's not what I think haha. And I hope I thought wrong.

Basically after clicking 2 tickets and before proceeding to the application, the page writes
引取方法 店頭
支払方法 店頭入金
Upon translation, it says OVER THE COUNTER collection and payment on the spot. Im not sure if there is any way I could amend this.

I then visited this http://l-tike.com/guide/pay.html for more info on payment and under CC they state,
※ 海外発行カードはご利用になれない場合がございます
which means overseas cards may not be accepted. Hence, Im really confused about the whole payment process because I was at the CONFIRM APPLICATION button but there was NO request for CC details

=============

and the more annoying this is, everytime I want to LOGIN, this comes up.

and I cannot proceed from there to book anything...like wut

Oh, now I see.
I didn't know which February date you wanted, so I checked Iwate and Aomori concerts, they both have credit card payment option.
So I guess you want to apply for Okinawa concert, right?
In this case you're correct: you're limited to a payment in conbini.
it's sad but Okinawa is as they say "not really Japan", so many restrictions apply.

As for log in error, I've encountered it too and it pissed me off so much. I think the solution was to log in through its sister site, then it worked.
http://www.hmv.co.jp/

OMG I LAUGHED LOL
Sorry for not making the request clearer!! I figured it would be the same, dang.
EDIT: It's really strange because I've tried to find other concerts in Okinawa and CC is a possible payment option but its only Ayu's! arghh

But do you have any idea about the duration given by Lawson for ticket collection? Otherwise it's such a pity if I manage to win it and they give me one week to collect the LAWSON VOUCHER which is completely impossible. And what is CONBINI?

Im using VPN right now. I read from some taiwan sites that without a VPN, its almost impossible to get thru Lawson (latest news being 15th Nov) :(

https://twitter.com/A_world_ayu/stat...12263391875072

Conbini means convenience store, in your case it's a chain called Lawson.
As far as I remember if your ticket is already paid for usually you can print it until beginning of the show, but rules can be different for different concerts.

I got the same thing. It's not a location restriction though. The Okinawa dates are on another lottery round from Lawson and you need an LHPremium account to access it. You need to sign up to one of their immediate payment options for LH Premium. I did the 円500 / month and I was able to access the lottery tickets. Didn't apply though because I'm not there to pay over the counter right now. The LH Premium worked with my overseas cc. That's what that second login they ask for is, the LH Premium account.

It looks to me like they don't do general sale until one month before the show. That's what I'm waiting for since it *should* allow for cc payment and pick up at conbini until the day before the show.

No, it's a bug or smth like that. I just tested.
When I try to log into my account through https://l-tike.com/lweb/login?p_transPageId=1 I fail. I receive "お客様のご利用環境では
ログイン利用ができません。
You are not able to access over your environment.
お問い合わせ：0570-000-777(年中無休：10時～20時) "
BUT if I log in through https://www.hmv.co.jp/members/ first and then open https://l-tike.com I'm already logged in there and problem is solved.


That's not true. I just checked with my ordinary account and was able to proceed through all steps up to "confirm your order", so I was 1 button away from completing the order. You don't need any special account for this lottery.

Ah Ok, my mistake then. Thanks for correcting. That's just the way I was able to get in. Maybe the glitch was fixed after I signed up for the premium, which I will now be cancelling if I don't need it to get tickets.(thank you for explaining you can do it with a regular account).

Just came back from the concert, it was awesome (and my first ayu live), I had so much fun!

The tracklist is the same as the last one.
Her voice was kinda good for someone who was sick. Minus the screaming in How beautiful you are and the cute voice in the first bridge of 1LOVE, her voice was good and I do get the "why does she sound aweful on DVD while it was perfect live" feeling xD

A lucky guy won a shape heart glass with ayu's autograph and kiss' lipstick after a lottery. Someone was asking where they pick the lucky members : The guy who got picked for Shake It was at the last row (and he even had to twerk with Timmy xD)

Loved her energy, and although the venue was full, there were some empty seats here and there (the one next to me for example).
We were allowed to take pictures for Boys & Girls.
Alterna and Mirrocle World are my favorite songs, I hope it gets released (there was a cameraman filming the whole thing but not a professionan set for an official release).

Excited to see her in Nara for the 3rd chapter!

Yea but sadly...for now, the balloting for OKNW concerts only allow paymnet over counter sigh

This is quite...unpredictable is it?

Unless theres definitely gonna be seats left by the end of the ballots

and flight schedules need to be planned beforehand as well

Yep. That's the problem. I looked at some of the shows on Lawson and the general sale seems to be almost exactly one month before. For example, and someone can correct me if I'm mistaken, the Dec 14, 15 and 20 show tickets are now available on Lawson as general sale.

I'm having the same problem booking flights, as it's expensive to fly from Canada and the longer I wait the more expensive everything will become. And I'm someone who needs to be able to plan ahead, this last minute stuff is driving crazy.

I f*ckn NEED that boots *_*

I can't believe this women was just diagnosted with acute bronchitis and is still touring!!!! Not even a week later.

*falls off chair* :tired
If anyone sees similar boots, please think of me xD

Glad you enjoyed and that she is doing better - can't wait to see her next week.

I'm totally regretting not getting tickets for the Nara show.

[QUOTE=~angel*ayumi~;3256694]I need boots like this in my life :(

You can find it on Aliexpress! But... they're bootleg and probably made with slavery :~

I'm surprised to see her doing so good even when she's sick! I think this is her year no matter what!

Can somebody please upload it for download? The video got deleted.

Maybe try yesstyle.com. I have seen similar style boots there often. If you are lucky they have something similar in an appropriate price range ;)

Those are some gorgeous boots.

Also the final chapter better be Resurrection, lol.

Off topic, no news on whether there will be Cdl 16-17 release?

Honestly I would not expect a CDL announcement or release still the tour BD/DVD release. It will likely be how CDLs come out now... and probably TA only or some LE. Just the beginning is gonna be one hefty box set.

Yeah i think we can expect one huge box with CDL 16-17 + Chapter 1 + Chapter 2 + Chapter 3
And TA limited tour 2016 DVD might be included in the TA version of her next album.

I need new album so much right now. I hope there will be new before or during 3rd chapter and she will perform some new songs. So far whenever I went to Ayu concert there was new album or single and they were so awesome (2010 R'n'R Circus / 2014-2015 Zutto single), both releases and concerts.

:) I wrote to you on facebook :)

A Song for XX? She mentioned this was a 2.5? So a slightly different setlist perhaps?

Wow is this gonna be carried to the 3rd chapter!!! Im excited :D

back to long hair?

I assume thats for 1 LOVE section?
is this a new costume or??

SHE LOOKS AMAZING THOUGH..and the leopard is back :D

setlist doesnt look any different haha..i wonder she its Chp 2.5

That outfit was for Shake It and Step You. Shake It was all the twerking and Step You was with the guy from the audience.

They brought up for 4 women to learn some dance steps.

That pic of her in the tutu is fab. SLAY KWEEN

Her long hair >>>>>> anything else ever except maybe evolution/A BEST hair

Yei for long hair.

She just posted that CHAPTER 3 rehearsals are done!!!

lets hope its not just a amalgamation of Chap 1 and 2 mixed up HAHHA

She would look great in black boots in that outfit, but not this blue.....

too optimistic.

by the way, ayu performed 35 different songs at this tour

New Items for onsite registration and Kuji Lottery will be added in Chapter 3

Oh my god!!!! The latest new pic.. she looks INCREDIBLE!#O!K@O!K@!

i dont get it hahah
which means I can only participate on the day Im going to the concert?

Yes because you need to pick up the item at the venue.

Has anyone received the info for their concert tickets yet? Last email I got said they’d contact with details on how to collect tickets a few days before the concert. Tomorrow is Friday - Concert is on Saturday and I’m yet to receive anything

If you applied via Overseas lottery you need to pick your tickets at TA booth the day of the concert.
