^ So they mean they will keep uploading live tracks like Duty from recent concert? They also also mention presenting "special goods". I read in their FAQ that all music can be streamed from abroad. Can someone confirm that?

Wow, that's actually a pretty good idea to create a special plan for the fans. Nice way to monetization for AWA! I didn't get the concert setlist part tho, maybe after the concert they'll make a playlist with the setlist or something?

Yes, they'll upload live tracks but it doesn't necessarily mean every track. Whoever is in charge decides which tracks it will be, I think.

I can stream from the united states but since I'm not a paid subscriber the songs are only 1:30 long.

Thank you for confirmation! I guess I'll have to figure out how to use it, since all exclusive tracks will be there from now on.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this, but this just came in from Ayu’s LINE:

^I think it deserves a new thread

Spotify has updated ayu's merch.

.. well.. selling CDs......

There’s quite a nice article about ayu on yahoo - https://headlines.yahoo.co.jp/hl?a=2...-natalien-musi

Nice to see

Aww, how sweet! There was the adorable Hello Kitty event recently too, where model Ikeda Miyu talked about how she loved the crossover Ayu, whom she always loved, did with Hello Kitty.

I kike her outfit on this picture but these shoes are just not good looking imo XD

aah, fug shoes -___- her feet don't even fit in there.
rest of the outfit is cute though :3

Thanks for posting! That was quite a sweet article, especially this part:

This is so relatable. :weep

Shoes are crime scene.

omg it looks like she had a really awful sunburn on her foot o_O

I love her nails!

Also into the nails!

I too can get behind the nails but why is the good sis exhibiting such terrible taste in footwear lately???

she always was like that, it's rare for her to show something cool

Don’t get me wrong, there have definitely been some shoe-related misses in the past, but I thought we were getting back on the right track lately and it’s got me like :| :| :|

Probably she got free shoes from sponsorship.

#土日は大阪

So she had a meeting with max it seems. She said everyone was surprised to see her as it’s been a while. Wonder what was it for.

Well she looks relaxed, so perhaps it ain't work-related.;)

The photographer that have been taking Ayu's concert and candid pictures, Masayuki Kamo, is having an exhibition in Tokyo (with pictures from his trip to Havana) and Ayu sent him flowers congratulating for the opening. I was walking the area tomorrow and by coincidence I saw Ayu's name lol

https://www.instagram.com/p/BxfOwlijN72/

I was so happy to see Ayu's face pop up on my Instagram today!

Give the watch back to Max after shooting TROUBLE.

Last meeting with Max we got Trouble; so maybe actually a release being discussed? Hopefully.

Somehow I have feeling that title for her new release will be TROUBLE - misunderstood.

as long as we get new songs, album title doesn’t matter to me. but again i hope that’s not the case.

I agree, titles are not that important, new music is.

oh ok

LOVE again and again

Yes! new album calls Trouble-misunderstood, and album cover in monochrome.

:no:no:no OH NO :roflmao:roflmao:roflmao

^ Tired of monochrome covers, she needs more colors.

And cover will be with only ayu's face
What if new title is something like A Complete ~All Albums~? XD

^ Oh my god how many roses are there? lol

1000 roses?

She posted a slightly different pic on TA with her hands behind her head and the caption says “Totally Colours” while the title is “By coincidence...”.

I love seeing her outside of just rehearsals and tours! Those photos are always so lovely when she's just chillin. Wish she would post more of those

^Yeah, it's nice seeing the concert photos but I do like seeing photos of her outside of her tours and rehearsals too!

And live ourselves lives, not others ✔️

Meanwhile Pei posted some pics took at the same place. I couldn't stop thinking about their relationship.

Is she in LA again? I wonder if she will meet up with fans again.

According to a dancer they are in Hawaii.

I hope she's shooting a PV or something, I don't even care if its a crappy You & Me kinda video.

:mischief
Enjoy your time off Ayu!

It would be awesome for Ayu to release a summer single with a PV shot on location in Hawaii.:luv2

saw a few memes on twitter of ayu in the shooping cart. quite funny :roflmao

I understand why she keeps silent about her private life, but I hope she is happy, enjoying herself and not trying hard to prevent gossip or a scandal (if she is really involved with Pei, there was an huge age difference, right? Not that it matters to me, but it sadly is some kind of taboo to talk about it)
Hawaii is great! She derserves the relaxation!

When she posted the pictures there was the hashtag #homesweethome so I thought she was in LA... But then she edited the hashtag out.

Would be funny/weird if she's with Pei and decided to go to Hawaii together as a love trip since Hawaii was the place she and Maro also had a "love trip" and recorded the PVs lol

When I reposted this, text was different

"Output almost empty ...

Needed to input for my brain..."

That is like Jeffree Star's closet in the shoe version.

When I saw this I thought she had reused an old picture that she had posted last year lol It's almost the same

Morning☀️


海外で絶対にどん兵衛食べたくなるの私だけですかね🤭

Ah such a beautiful view.

So hes hinting they are dating

Saw the tabloid reporting bout it on twitter lol

Envy (

Lol an article posted people’s comments about her shoe closest
They were like, if you have enough time to line up all your shoes like that, make new music.

^I'm sure she has staff to line up her shoes and keep them clean from dust haha.

An article about the photo of Ayu in the shopping cart, japanese fans seem to be rly bored to freak out about such nonesense....
https://soranews24.com/2019/06/08/su...agram-picture/

Dear Lord........

I don’t think it’s the picture though the Japanese people claim it is. Sounds like they’ve been saving that feeling towards ayu for a while.

Usual pettiness against Ayu.

^She looks so good! :luv2

She looks like china doll :D

I'm not sure if we have this photo already but I just found it on Instagram. I don't remember seeing it before but I think Ayu looks amazing it in anyway.:luv2

Wasn't sure, but I thought that's from the photobook. Chinese fans posted at twitter some interesting photos which I didn't recognise, and I did saw two recent photobooks and teamayu

Oh wow I love this! She is so out of this world❤

What photobook tho?

^:faint:faint

“Shopping carts are not for riding!"

Pfft, here in Australia we used to ride them through drive-throughs after midnight when we were too drunk to drive and we wanted to go on a Maccas run.

Those pics are so well timed after the 'shopping cart' article:

1st pic: "They're complaining about what?!?"

2nd pic: "Hahahaha silly children"

3rd pic: "My 'fans' never cease to amaze me"

Interesting. Was there any similar complaint on You & Me music video? lol

Here in the US many people back when they were teenagers stole a shopping cart from a nearby store. It's just something silly bored kids do. We would hop in and have our friends push us around town just for fun.:laugh
I also would like to see more if there is a photobook.:yes

And YesAsia displays it but isn't able to find stocks :rolleyes

People didn't understand the true meaning of the Ayu in the cart. It's the symbol of her as a product you can buy XD So put her next concert in the CDJ or TA cart and buy it!!! ahah

How about she releases some music her fans can actually put in a cart sometime soon.

but what IS the photobook??

who's Pei?

one of the newer dancers and, allegedly, her latest boytoy

Did Ayu's instagram jump from 1 million followers to 1.1 million or was it always 1.1 million?

^ It just became 1.1m. On the desktop version of Instagram, if you put your cursor over the followers number you can see the real amount: 1,100,338 followers.

It's a photobook that is part of the new goods of the current "chapter" of the TROUBLE tour, the photobook has pictures from the first "chapter" of the TROUBLE tour.

I thought so!:)

I just notice a slight difference on her face in her recent IG posts. Must be fillers, her eyebrows or something.

oh, I see. thanks for the info!

New playlist: 「RAINY SEASON SELECTION」

I mostly agree with the songs choice except for July 1st, what the hell? lol

What a great idea of a compilation/playlist but July 1st maybe ruining the flow there? I mean I'm sure she's done some July 1st performances when it's been bucketing it down a A Nation?

I look forward to listening to Rainy Season Selection on Spotfiy. What a selection of songs though - Rain Day, Ever Free, Rainbow!!

Yes, July 1st is so out of place imo. Maybe they added og because she's mention rain at one part of the song
Happy to see Dolls on the Tracklist, even thought I connect it more with winter but it also has a perfect atmosphere for a day with lots of rain

https://scontent-lga3-1.cdninstagram...ninstagram.com
空気が凛として気持ちいい🌿


シアワセ🐶🐶🐶

July 1st is placed as the last song because the lyrics say: if tomorrow will be a sunny day, let's go to the beach. What basically is everybody's desire during the Rainy Season, for the rain to stop so we can enjoy summer. That's why it's in the playlist.

But the playlist is only available in Japan tho lol

今日あっついねー☀️��


こんな真夏日になんと！

ayumi hamasaki 「Rainy season selection 」リリース致しました��
なんちゅータイミングや��������



でもでも、私とスタッフみーんなで悩みに悩みまくって激選した楽曲の数々��
雨の日はもちろんだけど、ひとりでしっとり過ごしたい、そんな夜にも本当にオススメです��✨ 


ストーリーにリンク貼ったので、そちらから是非����~♀️

This, I find July 1st a beautiful ending to the playlist.
But I can't believe people will actually pay for this!

why should you? It's a playlist and it's up for streaming. Anyone who has no streaming service by this date is really behind + you can make the playlist with your own versions if you don't stream. It even is on apple music.

Great playlist, I often play a lot of those together. The only one that seems out of place is Out of control, it feels more summery to me.
