I always think about that too! When I hear INSPIRE, the first video that comes to my mind is always the MY STORY tour one, instead of the official PV! XD

Yeah, I recognized the moves of INSPIRE, but the chair always gave me the feeling of "I am the QUEEN, I am the RULE", so I linked it to RULE instead :laugh

I like more if her hair styled like this imo

Black outfit is nice, good to see her doing something new.

would've been nice if she performed wake me up since it does sound pretty summery

So, it seems that the show will be broadcast on October 6!

That's quite late...but it's better than nothing! Usually it would be around the end of September, but it's September 27th, and before that there was NO ANNOUNCEMENT about a-nation being broadcasted!

What kind of announcement? It was well known when it'd be brodcast long time ago :-)

So excited to see INSPIRE, HANABI, and TO BE!

Ah there is a 15 GB file on JPOPSUKI...Hopefully someone will rip Ayu's part soon cuz I don't need the rest...

Ayu is not in it.
This FujiTV NEXT broadcast aired the a-nation concert held on August 31st, not September 1st.
Lineup from JPS

Thanks. None of those artists really interest me...god I remember a few years ago when a-nation was all about AAA, Ami Suzuki, Hitomi Shimatani, BoA, Koda Kumi TRF, globe, Otsuka Ai, Ayu etc. and now it's kind of ruined...

Well, pop landscape changes... A lot of those people you wanted are nobodies nowadays @_@

Super Tohoshinki?? Did they get back together as a 5 man unit or something?

Except from AAA yes, the rest are pretty much not popular anymore...

so we won't be able to see ayu's a-nation this year?

I teach Japanese middle schoolers, and I recently showed a bunch of them a picture of Ayu and asked, "Who is this?" Not many of them could say. I realized at first this was because the picture was too old--NEVER EVER single cover--and changed it to a Mirrorcle World cover. Now more people are recognizing her, but when I ask if anybody likes her, the answer is silence.

Young people who like old singers or singers that the previous generations listen to, are rare. Most of them consider them as outdated given that their parents like tem. It's the same in each country. But well, it's only my point of view based on my experience.
