They're up!

I wonder what they aim at... Isn't the official website enough ?

maybe we could see photos about the concerts there, clips or whatever !

Tour blog huh? What's it gonna do, updates on the tours and stuff? Because that would be AWESOME :D

This is similar to Namie...
Ayu you don't need to imitate others since being yourself the best is good enough....

wow.nice!but its open for public or for TA member only?

it should be 21.00 in Japan now, but no link found in the site

It's still 8:28 pm in Japan, it's not 9 pm yet.

LOL maybe ayu will post her impresion of every day performance there?? XD

she has few special sites
http://avexnet.or.jp/ayu/jp/special/index.html

so, this might be site with songs preview and some comments about them

I want a lot of pics!!! xD

Maybe she will say how the show was going or maybe better, how the audience thought about it, a review. But the most off all i hope to see pictures.

NICE~~

I still don't get what's the point to have tour blog..?

yeah.. the special site yes... but a blog?? hmmm

I so can't keep up with all this news and updates :S

it's already 21:20
any information?

There was a blog for my story tour, and I think also for (miss)understood tour

http://blog.excite.co.jp/ayu/

Can't wait for the first blog entry :)

woww almost forgot about this..

this is so exciting!!
and Ayu's going to blog??

Not sure what the aim of it is, but surely it has meaning, and something interesting behind it; I'm curious to see what there'll be on it.

It says "Staff blog", so I'm sure Ayu isn't the one making entries, but one of her staff members.

Sounds and looks great!!

I'm looking forward to the blog entries :D

That's quite interesting!! Thank you :D

It's Special Site!!

I think there will be reports of the concerts and some pics!
can't waittttt!!

Wow she going all out with promotion this time :D

Guys..
the admin of the Rock 'n' Roll Blog has just updated their 1st entry

can anyone make a translation?
and i wonder why the pictures can't be seen

Misa-chan has a new job :)
rest well after tonight though haha

It says that the purpose is to show what happens backstage during the whole tour ^^ and that is unusual to be able to see thos ekind of things from a famous singer. He/she says thatw ill write again tomorrow. ^^

Nice! I think this is a good idea, it's a way to quickly send info to others about the new album. :yes

thats cool ^___^ and the pics too.

Yeah, because Amuro's the only one allowed to write about tours :rolleyes As if no band or artist in the history of music has ever opened a blog specifically for, or pertaining to, their live shows.

Nope.
Never.
No band.

Yeah, Namie has BEST NON-FICTION and Past < NOW! < Future, but...

Ayu's had tour blogs before. Like in 2006, haha.

This is a surprise...but a NICE surprise! I'm guessing that this tour will be awesome in its own right, since a blog will only promote the album more...

There are pics of ayu!!!!

omg that daruma's really huge! D:

Ayu and her Ayu Daruma from CDL09-10!

It's SO BIG.

(stupid question coming) what's a daruma? o_0

It is an luckey doll thing: it is basd on an legend about an budisht who meditatie for years and lost his legs and arms and only had his torso and head.
Wenn you buy an doruma you make and wishyou colour one eye and if you wish came out you colour the other eye.
That is what i know..

From Wikipedia:
Ayu's was specially colored for Future Classics. Ayu will basically draw in another heart in her daruma's eye when the tour finishes as a symbol of her completing her goal/wish. She already filled in one eye with a heart as you can see if you look closely.

@WoWee & truehappiness: ooh ok. i think i get it. xD thanks for explaining!

i wonder what's the blog said...
curious...
thanks for the update!

yeah finally an update...she looks so cute and the daruma is so HUGE
she doesnt make web for her NEXT LEVEL tour...
so i'm happy that she make one for this year tour

hmmm interesting, wonder wat there'll be

i asked a friend made a translation:
so this is more or less what the staff posted~

^ Thanks! This blog idea is cool :yes.

Thanks for the translation :D

This is a really cool idea~ :yes

can't wait for the entries~

wow what a cool idea, being able to see the staff's viewpoint of everything :)

WOW~~~Thanks for the infos, ROCK!!

this is really great! we got everything from Ayu this time i'm really2 happy ^^

and learn a new thing today,DARUMA DOLL lol~~ XDD

A new entry:

They talked about the special site a little bit during the encore today; Ayu said that she would be writing in her TA blog as always every day, but that the special site would continue being updated daily (or after every show, I can't remember) until the last date of the tour. It will be updated by her staff or dancers (like, the entry that was just posted was written by Jin) and Ayu joked about picking the person to do the day's blogging right before she goes to wash her face and relax, and then leaving the appointed person to slave over the computer as they blog. :lol

Figured I'd put up a quick translation of the newest entry before I go to bed...I think Misa-chan's already in bed, since we have school tomorrow. :P

I wouldn't be surprised if this entry confuses people who didn't go to today's concert...basically, the entry is written from the point of view of the (stuffed) orangutan, who made his first appearance during the MC session of today's encore. He was introduced to the audience as Jin's father and voiced by both Jin and Ayu...he even helped teach the audience the RED LINE dance, and scolded Jin when he messed up and mistaught us the dance that he had choreographed himself. ;)

^
Thanks so muchhhh for the translation!!!

^HAHHA that post was cute

thanks for the translation of the new entry!!!

I really do find it cool that they do this stuff from a dancers/staff point of view xD

Thanks so much for this!!! I'm so excited about this tour!!! :heart

lol, great entry. XD

I love the Ayu daruma she's holding! I wonder what her wish is!!

I love her special sites! Seeing the ad in the special RnRC site made this whole experience become much more real.

LOL thanks for translating ^^!!

the other guy's name is Kazuma though: カズマ

It's funny that even dancers will write this blog LOL

and I hope they will reupload the first pic xD Shu-ya's pic is hilarious!

Ahh! I get it now! So interesting. That thing scared at me at first! I thought 'what is it?!' lol

lol now i understand the orangutan that everyone is talking about during the mc XD soo cute,

thanks for the link. and wow they have supercute ayupans for RnRC!

what's wrong with having a blog? Like all kinds of other Japanese artists constantly blog lol

This is a good thing...a way for people to stay in touch better.
