Maybe she just calls it "ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2011 A". Simple. x3

And I really want to see a similar theme than Dome Tour 2001 had. *_*

Man, poor Ayumi doesnt get a break does she?

But avex could of said something earlyer. I know everything was uncertain but there is no way that everything could get back to normal by the time that the concert was suppose to be held their. As soon as they found out that people were staying in those area because of this, they should of put postponed for those dates.

Poor planing on avex's part.

I posted them earlier...

This has nothing to do with Avex. It's the idiot media.

Ayu seems to be getting picked on heavily by the media anyway. I'm sure any ammunition the media could use on her they will. The delayed news is just a reason to tell blatant lies about her because as ANY fan would know, Ayu news is almost always late now a days. Is that bad on her management's part, yes. But I doubt they were sitting on their asses, twiddling their thumbs and wasting time. I'm sure they were trying to work something out behind the scenes but because of media pressure, they put out a cancellation notice.

I should rephase my words. Ayu's management.
There was already news from koda kumi management 1 week ago that her tour, first few dates will be postponed, i don't really understand why ayu management had to take so long, cutting it so close to the dates.

The media and people will just attack her, instead of her management.
Ayu- scapegoat.
This is what I am not happy about. Being a management, you should not only look out for your company interest, and your artist interest too. They should minimize chances of media bashing their artist, preventing bad news, not the other way round.

Now that her website is updated again, im pretty convinced that the tour will be Hope for Japan theme.

Hey guys, Is there anyone from Japan who could buy the tickets for both dates in tokyo for me? I'd pay you the money with some extra. please

but aren't the postponements due to the fact that she changed things around?

Well uhm, according to the news here, the blackout-schedule probably is going to continue until summer. I think it'll be hard for avex to held concerts in this kind of situation

Not sure about koda's team but I think ayu's team gets to have a break to deal with the disasters right?
And only went back to work last week?
And I don't think they dare to make such big decision of cancelling concerts without approval from ayu after a group meeting. So even they're confirm of cancelling the concerts, they have to wait till someone to give a green light to carry out the announcements.

I think Avex/Ayu's management should have announced relevant cancellations/postponements earlier. It is not only in people's interest to know and plan their travel accordingly, it is also in the artist's interest.

And yeah, bad media!!! :( :( :(

I kind of hope she will do something really calm and easy for this tour now. Like, outdoors arenas, in daylight to save electricity etc. I kind of like a simple stage too, just like a normal one. So that ppl will concentrate on the music and the meaning and not wonder how much electricity that went on the concert or something else.

But OMG I'm sick of media... Avex did very badly with canceling Ayu's concerts when they gave good notice for other Avex artists. Such a shame really.

oh, I love that idea. A half of concert from Stadium tour was under daylight
and simple stage → less weigh of decoration → less trucks needed for delivery

+easier to take overseas. :innocent

The thing is, we just DON'T KNOW how it works within Avex, and between them and Ayu. So we can't really assume and then point and blame whoever at this point.

The media likes to cause drama, especially asian media I've noticed, everything surrounding celebrities out there is blown out of proportions even more than it is elsewhere and sometimes they just fabricate something totally unrelated out of the blue.

We know Ayu didn't do those things the report is mentioning.

Why Avex took longer to cancel/postpone her concerts, who knows, we'll probably never know.

Finally someone who is aware that NONE of US know whether it's ayu is to blame or her management. +1 for you.

I really don't think electricity is gonna be a problem, they could just use power generators that don't rely on the public grid or a combination.

If she chooses to go with some kind of charity theme, I hope she completely ditches the original idea so it won't be some kind of weird mash-up.

Agreed.. Avex should of done something sooner.. it wasnt like this happened over night.

I am afraid that one way or another that's what it's gonna happen. It's a bit too late to completely produce a tour from scratch so you can bet she will use many of the ideas she originally had for Hotel Love songs.
