Which date are you looking to go on? The first couple at Saitama? I'll probably see you there if so :) Don't steal all the good tickets before me!

Judging from the a-ticket page (http://eplus.jp/hm-a/) the public lottery ended about two days ago.

Not sure when tickets are coming out from this though.

WOW! looks like many fans from AHS will go to her Saitama concerts, it would be great if we could meet up each other before of the shows ^^

Me and Hatix will be there for the first date (10th), then we're going down to Osaka to hopefully see Kuu the next day :D AHS Saitama meet? ;)

my roommate and i both got 2 tickets to the first day...

haha

It's selling time then, huh? Haha.

How funny, I can't seem to figure out how to acquire tickets in spite of most likely being in Japan at that time. >_>

Hopefully. I'm going to be in Japan from April 8th-14th. Would have gone in May but unfortunately I've already got tickets to see Michael Buble on the dates Ayu is performing. So fingers crossed I can get tickets for April :)

Don't worry, I'll make sure there's enough left :P

I can help you if you want. :)

I've actually created a thread to help people get tickets for ayu's Arena Tour concerts. Hope this will help. =D

^ How sweet of you, thank you :).

If I have enough money I'll probably watch her on July D:

You guys are really lucky~ Take me with you~~~~~~

oh please ayu! add dates for oct/nov!!! >.<

i wanna go but i need money T.T

hopefully by the end of this year if she adds more dates xD if not, in july i guess :/

Sounds like a dumb title to me :(

Why have a tour when she can't even sing anymore? Honestly. If only capitalism would let her rest for once. Her voice can't recover if she never lets it rest.

^ I've agreed with this since PCDL08-09. While I don't think it's fair to say that she can't sing anymore, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and go with what you meant by that was that her voice is so worn out. Resting and practice is so important, regardless of whether she's worn out or not.

Whoa...I don't know what to say about that title.

why do some of you says that Ayu should take a year off when herself doesn't stop saying in every interview that loves her job and couldn't live without doing music? last one from SCawaii Feb 2010 (translation by Misa-chan):

Q. What is Hamasaki Ayumi looking forward for?
A. I want to never stop.
I want to strengthen my will.

you can't throw the blame on capitalism, I think the main reason she's still singing is she wants to continue doing tours, is NOT to earn more money, she really doesn't need it, she keeps singing because she loves to do, she enjoy doing live concerts, not only for the fans, also for herself... I can't believe she keeps singing just to satisfy avex, if she doesn't want to continue no one could force her to do it, no one, avex or whatever...

Ayu definitely loves her job, writing lyrics, producing albums & tours, traveling around the World with her staff, we should respect her own decision of continue doing what she loves... even in the hypothetical case she couldn't sing anymore we'll be here to support her, right?

sorry to give my own opinion about but I'd like Ayu keeps singing as long as she feels comfortable, she enjoys with the music, then please let's support her always ^^

Rock n' Roll Circus?? Is that the new album title?? (usually the tour name goes w/the album, correct? ex: Arena Tour 2009 ~Next Level~)
Ooh... (:
I'm hoping it's like carnival/30s vibe music and rock songs. Very cool mix, and different. (:

I COMPLETELY agree with you, crea_spain... (:
that's very true.

i am guessing the ARENA TOUR has nothing to do with the album since the tour title is announced before the album.

if this is the case, then an album is no where near.

^ Actually I believe we had the same situation going with NEXT LEVEL tour... tour title announced first before album title.
So you never know (:

Tour Title for NEXT LEVEL wasn't announced before the album.

thanks for clarification! :)

I dont think shes gonna use rock 'n' roll circus for the album title. its just meaningless
she always have a meaningful album title

Rock'n'Roll Circus ? :D
This gonna be awesome !!!! :D
Ayu Rocks !!!!!

You can't say it's meaningless if you don't know the context, most of Ayus titles are meaningless without it(A Song for XX(can't be understood at all without context!), Duty, I am..., RAINBOW, Memorial Address, MY STORY, Secret, GUILTY...and that's just the album titles)

The title makes me think of the Marionette in Asia Tour~XDD~~Looking forward to this year's tour~!!AYU rocks~

I love the title!
I wonder if it's the album title?

Everything is meaningless without a context o_O

found this on ayuchina

You should make a separate thread for that, I think... hm.

I don't know how I feel about the logo (if that's the official one). I like the font, I think that's cool, but the star in the middle of the A? Reminds me of the AT02 logo... or whichever one had the peace sign int he middle of the A. Hah.

hmm.. although its kinda a mess just like CDL FC, at least the font is legible.. :)

i am liking it!!!

You are right, that was the AT02 logo.

I think design-wise, the logo is nice except for the star and the uppercase fonts underneath. The star seems like such an attention-grabbing element that you don't notice anything else...

I'm really looking forward to Ayu's new album and concert. I know she won't disappoint us because I have a feeling everything will be worth the wait.

Hope the show has better costumes than last year lol
(YES I LOVE THE OUTFITS!!!)

Anyone else other than me think Ladies Night ~another night~ can make the cut in this show? LOL

^I do. I think it would be awesome, along with guilty and criminal. :D

^^That would be awesome :D And with some circus-like adds to the arrangement, it would fit the title perfectly. I'd love if she did some major arrangement changes to some songs too, not that I don't like her original arrangements but it would be interesting to take some songs to new level.

mhhhh both TA + avex show an Update on the Tour site, but I can´t see any o.o

I think the update is the logo xD

Here's the update:



It's basically an update for general sales. The 4th column shows the date when tickets will be available to the general public. So we can expect tickets with seatings to start being on sale at resale shops and sites a few days after the stated date.

There's also a few minor changes to the starting times for some shows. :)

oh, I see XD I also say it... and update and couldn't see which was new XDDD So I thought about the tickets going on sale for the general audience XD

hmmm when I saw it I thought they were adding dates T____T

me too


@Gkone01
We have the Logo since ages.

Gkone is right about the official site, they added the Tour logo on it today, it wasn't there before ^^
Of course the logo is not new for us since we know it for a long time thanks to TA if I remember well.

EDIT : oh sorry I thought he meant the official site and not TA XD

Thta´s why the Logo can´t be the Update on TA, as we have it since ages from there.
But Misa-chan told us what´s new so...

I thought AyuChina leaked the logo?

^from TA ^^

Today was the first day of general sale for a few of the shows, so I made a dash to Lawson's this morning to get my ticket for the 4/10 show in Saitama......I got a seat in the A2 block *____* I'M SO FREAKING EXCITED, IT'S GOING TO BE EPIC.

^awesome! report please!~:D

That is SO awesome! You've got to tell us how it was!!!!!

woah, those are good seats right? congrats on that!! it'll come sooner than you think. ;) hope you have fun! and don't forget to report. xD

Congrats! :luv2

Cool! I'm happy for you....tell us all about it (only a month to go, wow) And A2 tickets. So it really is a good idea to go for Conbini Tickets. I'll note that down for the future.

wow, I've read that sunshineslayer also got A block tickets! that's so great that you were able to get good seats!!!

Ah, I'm so excited for you guys! Everyone has gotten very good seats! :D

I wanna know which seats got the ones that buy throught TA (misa-chan and so ^^)

I also got my tickets today through my friend (for 4/11) but I still don't know what seats (he doesn't want to tell me *_*), cannot wait!

I'm happy and envious at the same time. You all have to write loooong reviews, ok? I wanna go so much. :(

I also got tickets for 4/10 A-Block yesterday but only to find out shortly after that I have a work thing that day. It depends what time I'll be able to get to the show if I can go or not. But just in case, if there is anyone with a ticket for 4/11 that would like to go on 4/10, please PM me.

And btw, yeah, it is weird that both chocopocky and myself both got A-Block tickets from the convenience store. I thought surely those seats are reserved for TA only. Strange.

I guess it's a free for all and you were both incredibly lucky when it came to tickets? Haha.

If they reserved all of A-Block for TA, that'd be pretty weird... I thought that the only perk of TA when it came to tickets was that you get first dibs waaay before everyone else.

Based on him not wanting to tell you. . . . I think he got really good seats >___>

So I'm super excited! My friend's school is selling tickets and it looks like I'm going to the 7/24 and 7/25 show!

All this talk of people going makes me really jealous to go again!

Have fun everyone. The thing that is super sad about when I saw her I think the whole time I was in shock. In complete aw and I think my mind elevated so high that it's hard for me to place myself back there. Like I know what happened and how amazing it was but it's hard to believe I was actually there!

So live it up people!

To all those Conbini Buyers I have some questions. Can you actually choose a different concert location? For example you buy a ticket from Lawsons in Tokyo. Can you choose Fukuoka or Osaka concerts or do they only have Yokohama, Saitama and Yoyogi?

And does it matter which Conbini Chain you buy the tickets from? Like do am/pm or 7/11 also have those tickets machines?

^ Lawson is the best bet and its machines are the easiest I feel (although they are not in English at all). I tried to buy from 7/11 and they didn't have any of the tour dates. And yes, its a nationwide sale, so you can buy tickets for anywhere.

Hey everyone.
I know this is written somewhere in this thread already but I can't find it right now. IF ayu is about to add new dates to her tour, when would that be? I mean from your experience, when does she usually add new dates to her tours?

Last year she added them already... second week of march T______T

I don't know what is she gonna do but if she was gonna make her longest tour ever then, she has to add more dates...

what I'm thinking is that this year she won't do a-nation... or maybe only the last 2 days... her last concert is on the 25 of July... she has no time to rehearsal for a-nation... last year she ended in June, so it was possible... so maybe she only does 2 last dates at a-nation, and before that adds dates for autumn?? idk...

^ Ok, thank you..

It would be really cool if she added new dates, I so want to go to this tour. My plans are made but I am not sure if I will have the money until July T-T So far it looks good with my jobs and everything but you never know. Right now it is all kind of "last minute" with the money and if she added more dates for autumn I had more time and more saved up if anything unexpected happens while the trip or whatever..

^exactly the same for me... I've money but I have to save them for the university and flat and only with the money of working this summer I can go to Japan... I'm everyday praying for more dates, cause this tour seems really promising T____T

^ Yup.. wasn't there this talking about "best tour in the history of hamasaki ayumi" in the ViVi interview?*sigh* Well, let's pray together that she will add new dates and that we will be able to go, even if she doesn't! :)
You would be going to attend the final on Yoyogi, too, right?

^yeah! I would want to attend the last 2 in yoyogi *-* and yeah, she said that she wanted peopel to say: this is the best in ayu's history! *crying* LOL So yes, let's pray together >.<

They gonna sell the Tour Goodies on the 4/8?

^yeah, seems so ^^ liek they will be simultaneously sellling the goods ^^

at ayumifans I saw information about additional tour dates
2010/06/06
2010/06/20
2010/07/11

http://bbs.ayumifans.net/viewthread.php?tid=20542

So it's 34 dates now...

With 3-4 more after a-nation '10 probably.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2mra32s.jpg

God lsitens to you and she adds dates in october..

really. so angry! I saw the update and htouhg: Oh God yes!! dates, more dates! and... nothing...

I think she still will add more.. not it's 34, it has to be 2 more to be her longest one LOL

c'mon ayu!! pleaseeeeeeeeee T_______________T

I really don't like that idea of the "longest tour evaa omg *O*". she needs to worry about her vocals now more than ever. oh ayu -__-

Maybe she's inspired by Namie lol *no offense*
But I heard she's going to focus more on the vocals, I hope this year's tour going to be great vocally *.*

I only want dates in oct/nov.. I don't care if it's the longest tour or not... But I base my expectation on her sentence "longest tour ever" to aim, wish and wait for more dates in autumn... -_____-

I just hope she takes care of herself and doesn't end up straining her voice.

This is extremely random... but when do we get to see the outfits used for the tour? I saw some in ayu's diary entry, but I mean not for the videos... for the actual on stage costumes!

i think we can see the outfit after the 1st day of the concert.i remember there is alot of unofficial photos taken during the 1st day of the concert for AT09

okay.. just wondering if they release photos officially early..
thank you! :)

Is it just me or is this the first time in a while that the tickets had an actual design?

that's a lot~!

The tickets are B/W ?

Usually they're just a plain ticket with information on it, haha.

I hope they'll have a pic of Ayu on the tickets like Namie's :laugh
But well with just some simple designs is ok too :laugh

Nope, NL Tour ticket was much nicer IMO. :)

Yeah NL tickets looks better :yes
Anyway why don't she put a pic of herself or what instead of just 'ayumi hamasaki' ?

I seriously can't wait for the tour to start!

I think (miss)understood's had a design on them. I know mine from AT08 didn't.

Not if they are tickets through the fanclub. Those usually have a design/graphics.

^ I didn't know that so thanks! :)

Yeah they are pretty boring this year imo. I thought the NL tickets was so colourful and cute! Now its just b/w. But lol, who's really having energy to complain about the design of the tickets..? :P

I see... we've hit 500 posts and the tour's starting in less than two weeks now, haha.

I'm pretty sure this show will be dark and emotional and AMAZING. Even if the tickets lack the color that the NL show/tickets had.... I think it'll be made up for with an amazing show. (not to say that AT09 wasn't amazing becauseI WANT MY DVD NOW.)
