Errrr, that didn't effect the last TA tour AT ALL unfortunately. In fact the band barely even makes an appearance. lol.

I'm wondering if this tour will last till next year so it will make some kinda of relation to her anniversary... Did they announced the dates already?

It kinda makes sense to do a loong tour that will go till next year and because Yoyogi Stadium is closed for some years, that would be a nice way to replace the CDL... I don't know lol

Pray for world tour...

The concert probably will span from April/May till Oct/Nov (Based on 2 concerts per weekend). If she is to continue her yearly CDL, she would need time in December for rehearsals

I'm actually planning a trip to Japan in mid-April, so I hope I can witness my first ayu concert in my 10 years of ayu fandom

She says stuff like "don't worry about me!" but I think everyone is going to be really worried given how this year went with illness and cancellations.

Wonder how many hard songs she will choose and how many of them she will lip sync

also this live better be short, not like 3 hours long

Oh thanks for the info, that's another's couple of yen I have to take into account... Well I'll have an address in Tokyo starting April 3rd but I imagine that would be too late...

It may be too late but I think just having an address is not enough, you either need to have a japanese bank account (I think they don't accept international cards) or you have to be present in japan and pay at a convenience store iirc

Well that's true, TA Tour was all about show as well :rolleyes

Why don't you join global fanclub now with your current international address? Major credit cards are accepted. There's almost 100 percent guarantee that you will win the lottery and get a good seat. If you join with Japanese address your chances are unpredictable.

That's probably what I'll do! Last question though, will I be able to apply for two seats? My boyfriend would love to come but he's not what you'd call a fan, so I don't think he'd apply to TA. Will I be able to enter the lottery for two seats?

You should be able to. TA Tour allowed up to 2 tickets per show, I'm not sure how normal tours are, but it must be at least that.

You are not guaranteed to get a good seat. Yes, majority of overseas fans got great seats, but not all of them. My MIJ seats were pretty bad on 2 concerts out of the 3 I applied for. Idk if it depends on how many dates you apply for, or it might be because it wasn't my first time seeing her, but it's possible that the seats you get are indeed random even if you use an overseas address.

^ I confirm, MIJ was my first time seeing her and my seats were bad too. Worst than what i was expecting.

Do you know how long we'll be waiting for dates? Last year it was around one week, but tour was announced the end of January.

Is it almost sure that I can win a ticket via lottery for overseas fans?

Yeah. You will most likely win tickets. I've never had issues getting them thru TA. Maybe getting the best ones isn't guaranteed, but it will be better than the ones from the general sale.

I would be in favor of having less focus on the dancers.:yes
I loved it much more when it was mostly Ayu and her band. Not Timmy and dancers I don't know the name of except for a few. Plus sometimes the choreography is a little random. Like they just dance to dance.:dead2
But sometimes they do add to the concert. But I think they should balance things more.

For TA Tour there were some overseas members who didn´t get tickets. But TA tour is different as there are less tickets than at normal Tour.

That's why I said ALMOST 100 percent guarantee, didn't I? My point was you are more likely to win and get a good seat if you're an international fan, not the one with Japanese address. That's the reason they hand you tickets 2 hours before the show, because they don't want people reselling good seats.
It seems that something was changed last year, because all seats I was getting during 2015 were amazing and I won everything, and not just me.
