so she wont be at FNS again...its one of the best show...the last time she sang Days and it was great...

wonder whats her reason to skip FNS two years in a row

Maybe schedule constraints? Possible list -

• Too tired
• CDL preparations
• Relative show date-release date out of range

highly unlikely.

^ Yeah, honestly whenever I hear "time constraints" as a possible reason it doesn't make sense. She always has time constraints this time of year, but she still appeared on every show imaginable in December.

Not Ayu announced at FNS, her name isn't on this list (;_; )

And even at times she was busier. In the end it doesn't matter, she has other year-end shows anyways :eyebrow

A Love song performance at FNS would have been so damn epic! Well, guess that's not happening, I already missed her there last year. Usually you got the winter song(as in song released in winter, not wintery song) performance that stuck out most at that show...the Pride one...perfect.

Ayu & Urata Naoya will be on YOU MUSIC's cover. This mag will be out on December 11.

On my birthday! Cool :D

I can't wait to see it... though I hope it's not just the album cover.

It looks like a really new magazine... just started last month or something.

I don't think they'll be doing a new shoot for this though.

We'd better look out for that - because that's going to be another one in the magazine list!

That's what I'm dreaming of!

But now we have to add another year to see (with a new song, which is too early) if she's going to attend next year's FNS...

The last two years, FNS has had a theme of collaborations. I wonder if that is the reason why Ayu stopped attending. Of course she has a collaboration to promote　right now though.... That song really does not fit the FNS style though.

Ayu give us more live performance please...

I agree with that. :yes

Well, I know that she has a collaboration with Urata, but the style is not something that the FNS is looking for (obviously). And except for Urata, it seems that Ayu is more independent and is NOT really interested very much in collaborations with other artists like others do. Evidently this year's FNS had a LOT of collaborations, but maybe combining with the CDL and other constrained scheduling conflicts, maybe she did not attend FNS because the standards there are not something that Ayu is quite interested. And we don't see a lot of "big-hit" Ayu songs this year that could suit FNS. Maybe next year's FNS could be returning back to typical soloist talk like in 2006 and 2007, and maybe Ayu could come back there, but it's too early to tell what's coming up for the 2011 holiday season. And we're only in 2010, and there's still another year away from another FNS music festival coming! (I'm also going to be keeping an eye out on the ratings also, because if it goes below 20% again, blame it on the fact that Ayu did not attend FNS once again, because the last time...NAH, forget that - they went up to 21.7%! Too bad Ayu was not there... What was this...this was the highest ratings since back in 2004 (21.8%)!?)
