why did she cry? hmmm...

the aerial stunned is becoming more and more complex each year...
It's always scared me if she did something so scary like that...
please be safe Ayu

That's true for him but it asks also a lot of strength in Ayu's case:shakehead

"Beginning of the end"...

I wonder if the tour is gonna have a really dark finale.

"Beginning of the end" is like New Year
I can see how she chance chapters day by day and finish it at CDL "MADE IN JAPAN"

Some of those acrobatics made my hands sweaty O___O I'm hoping for some unperformed songs (Specifically petal, return road, pray & letter) but I'm not really hoping for anything. I just hope the vocals will be better again. Cirque de minuit can't have been a fluke

by the way...there are tons of product placement on that video...and I think it's my first time seeing so many product placement on Ayu's video..

I find it more to be just rehearsal clothing which can tend to have big logos if it's not tour merch and not intentional product placement.

^
I'm very doubtful XD they make a lot of big close-up on the brands she wears (not that I care lol) !

During some songs taking pictures will be allowed at the concert.
The photos can then be postet on Twitter with the hashtag #ayumdij
The photos will be gathered at AT2016 Special site:

If I understand it right, it's allowed during spring chapter - 3rd song from the opening

"Spring chapter" consists of 3 songs, so pictures from that opening set.

I wonder if we'll get a very long concert with how the chapters are broken up in her blog.

oh I see. Seems it will be most beautiful chapter

Will encore be one of the chapters?

Could be, but I am uncertain. It kinda sounds like we'll get do it again in the setlist at the end either in the encore or in the finale of the main show due to the "beginning of the end" chapter.

7 chapters with 2-3 songs each is around 14-21 songs (counting interludes, I suppose) which is about standard for her main shows and then 2-3 in encore lately unless there's a medley.

Also, recording videos is still prohibited, only pictures are allowed. And you are only allowed to take pics from your smartphones.

then do it again perfect choice for final song =)

I bet people will be "accidentally" recording video for sure.

"★"ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2016 A(logo) 〜MADE IN JAPAN〜"
The First Attempt at Concert Photography!!

ayumi hamasaki has announced the first attempt at concert photography for her upcoming tour "ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2016 A 〜MADE IN JAPAN〜" starting on May 14th!!
You are allowed to take pictures of the first 3 songs by your mobile phones at all venues and this is her first attempt ever since she debuted!

You are allowed to take pictures of the first 3 songs by your mobile phones without flash.
Audio recording and video recording devices are strictly prohibited during the event."

Wow, really surprised by this decision. They won't be able to check every person if he or she is taking pictures or recording videos. I hope we get to see the videos :-) international fans with TeamAyu seats will be able to take the best shots.

I am so curious about the setlist!
I wonder what she considers to be spring and autumn songs. We never really got an official point of view regarding these.

To be honest, I'm quite at shock right now. Last spring, I did a fictive setlist for Cdl 2015-2016 entitled PCDL 2015-2016 "Four Seasons" which contains 4 main sections for each season. I wanted so badly for this to come true, and it looks like it did.

The first three songs must have something really amazing if they want all her fans to basically advertise the tour for her! I'm really excited! Going to the opening weekend show in Nagoya! :luv2

I hope the opening act is not the most visually appealing one tbh because it's going to be difficult to enjoy it while all you see is people's phones :D
