no asia tour

A BEST LIVE?!?!? :O So many possibilities! So excited!

Just saw this on FB!!

I'm sad there's no 4/8 concert :(

I am so much more excited!! This may be like CDL07-08 and she could do what she thinks are her best performances. I'm excited to see what she thinks is her "best" and how she executes it!!

Yay! Can't wait to see the set list for this concert tour!! The title makes me immediately think of her best album A best.

Lots of new info coming in! Trying to deal with it all lol :thud

megh...GACKT is also doing a "best of" tour this summer...maaaan, it's gonna be a great year for those two. Too bad won't be able to experience that with them....:(

so, this is the ARENA TOUR 2013 title?

I like the name.

I hope they add the Asian leg of the tour after *__*

But I'm all sad that she's not having a concert on 4/8! :bawl How are fans supposed to sing poker face now?!

We didn't sing poker face last year. I'm still pressed about the lack of singing poker face to Ayu LOL We'll have to make a compilation video to send to her, haha!!

But I agree! Let this be a repeat of AT08 and the Asia dates will be in the fall!!

I think so! lol

But we hopefully will get a few Asia Tour dates later this year :innocent

Just got the mail from TA!

I'm reeeeeeeally excited to see what she does with this!

A BEST... WOW!
regional tour (Japan area) may be a opening for her ASIA TOUR or... WORLD TOUR !!!
like ASIA TOUR 2007 / 2008

Well this pretty much solidifies A BEST 3 release coming up.

Very cool though!

OMG!!!! A BEST LIVE!!!!! So excited!!!!

Holy snapping catfish! :D

So excited! Gotta make my plans for Japan now.
And, this tour is shorter it seems?

Yay!! Hope for a good setlist!

So the fans vote for the setlist... That's where the "A BEST LIVE" comes into play, really. Very interested to see the top songs (other than Who..., BLUE BIRD, Love song, etc)

WOW the tour name sounds very best lol

can't wait for the new A logo design (or, is there going to have one?)

Am almost certain the following will be voted in: the seven non-2013 from A Classical + the concert staples (Boys & Girls, Trauma, Who..., SURREAL, evolution) + maybe A Song for XX.

All of which have been performed like a million times...

WHOA WHOA TITS ARE NOT CALM

Great news! I just hope this tour lives up to its name, at least by having amazing set list, stage-setup and, most importantly voice performance.

OMG!!!
I've been waiting for this announcement for weeks!
I'm soo nervous and excited because now that I know the dates, I'll have to plan my trip to see the upcoming concerts :-)) I want to attend 4 dates :-)

Cue evolution, Boys & Girls, Trauma, etc etc.../le sigh

Can anyone kindly translate the venues please :)
especially this one

2013年7月27日（土） 国立代々木競技場第一体育館 17:30/18:30

isn't the tour dates so short compared to her other tours? usually they last till fall right?
probably on 4/8 she's gonna do something big as well, and looking at her concert title, my guess is... A BEST 3 ?

Too bad I don´t have the money to go to Japan this year, the 2nd Saitama Show is on my first Wedding day ._.

YES A BEST LIVE!!! It will be old and new!! And her favorite performances!! yahoo!!!!!!! :heart

It's Yoyogi, Tokyo.
Just use http://translate.google.com/ and you'll understand locations.

Yoyogi :D

And she never announced fall dates with the initial announcement. The later summer/autumn dates are usually announced in the summer.

I pray for Talkin' 2 myself and Mirrorcle world to be included!

Great! Now I'm waiting for A BEST 3!

Hope she will perform "rare" songs too.

28 dates are announced this year , last year we had 34 concerts in total. So when she announces additional dates, there won't be less dates, I'm sure.

^^^^ make a video singing poker face & send to her is a good idea :D

Do people really like Poker face that much? ^_^

yaaay I'll be able to go once more :D to the two yoyogi shows probably, anybody here a TA member who's able to get tickets? otherwise I'll just get mine from Yahoo auctions later on :)

1. are all the Tickets: 8,500 yen

2. why does she always performer in small areas

3. can somebody post the setlist

I hope she will performe poker face *-*

Expected title.I hope all the setlist won't be done by the fans because it'll be boring as they always choose the same songs.

New A BEST is coming soon.

Am I the only one who finds the title ～A BEST LIVE～ a little bit... dissapointing and uncreative? )

I have no problem with this title, it's very appropriate!

Same here :yes

It is, buuuut it's better than simply naming it after the last studio album tour :P

Very exciting!!!!! Can't wait to hear old and new :)
She better not do too much of LOVE again ><

good :)

I'm thinking that Gloria, SAKURA, and Song 4 u will definitely be making appearances.

Coolies~ Hopefully she will add some extra dates onto that and also that this is a sign the 15th anni will step up a notch.

I'd love to go to Yoyogi in july - that's so close to my birthday *__*

1. yes

2. because she wants to

3. the fans will vote the setlist this year

OMG I didn't even REALIZE it said that haha!

Nooo!
I will go home from japan april 13.

So happy about that. Hope the Japanese fans will vote some good songs. XD

A BEST..tracklist could be inspiring

omg im excited!! def wanna visit Japan again ^^

I already know which song I'll vote for, assuming it's not a pre selected list that we have to pick from haha.

I want No more words. :)

Hm... does this thing allow non-TA members to vote too? It appears that they mention both the official site and TA so....

Hopefully its not 100% fan voted. Some of the newer tracks deserve to be performed imo.

^ I hope so. I will be spamming RAINBOW, Ivy, It was and still alone if so!!!

I also didn´t realize *_*
I hope we can vote more than 1 song, there are so amyn I want to be performed ><

How TA members vote? can guide? =x im a new TA wee~~~

I'm planning to go to Japan this year. But most of my friends are into KPOP. So, nobody wants to go with me :(. How about all of AHS who want to go to watch the concert meet up there? :). take a group photo? WOW!!!!

I hope everybody can vote ^^
It's a good opportunity for her to perform old classics or songs she has never performed etc ... It's exciting =)

Im planning to go again this year ^^! Ill be glad to meet ahs peeps >< but not very successful during the last hls thou ~~

Dear Ayu, please do "ayumi hamasaki 15th Anniversary TOUR ~A BEST LIVE~ FINAL in TOKYO DOME" !!! :D

Yay announcement! I quite like the name of the tour this year. Simple but fitting for her 15th anniversary. Can't wait to see the setlist! :)

ever free and kanariya
i wish both of them get into setlist

1. why are her Tickets are very cheap

2. i think she should perform in domes like namie

I'm not sure if I like the "fans choose playlist". It most of the Japanese fans prefer the classics that are played at every single concert. I want more songs like Guilty, criminal, duty, is this love, marionette, like a doll, ourselves, sending mail.....

i really hope she'll do that

Japanese Fans choose?? :/ expect the most predicatble setlist ever...

1. avex can sell all seats for the same price even the really bad ones and nobody can complain about it I guess

2. maybe she will end the tour in october in a dome ^^

I sense A museum 2013 version coming up (I hope so). ♥

thats what ive been thinking,afraid that we will get something like A Classical 'again', I would love to see Criminal!!! :thud and Game ,at least now these 2 in my mind.


and im not really happy as I want a Asia Tour, maybe they will add a few venues in Asia later, who knows,,,

^
She said she wants to make the biggest tour in her carrier ! at the moment it's just like usual IMO she will make announcements later^^ maybe ?

coolness, although this has amazing potential if she does it right.
I hope this isnt just a rehash of her best moments in concerts.
Not all tickets cost the same, just the lottery tickets. And those could be resold for much more.
Finally a set list chosen by the fans? Lame.

I got a little shocked when I saw the TA e-mail about the tour. Sounds good, appropriated for the 15th anniversary :)

She probably will, though I think it probably will be only in Japan...

i am very excited about this 15th anniversary tour! but slightly worried if it will end up like a CDL cos its kinda expected that ayu will perform her classics, which may (or may not) be a copy of her previous performances.

i prefer to see brand new performances. and hopefully songs like SAKURA and petal will be performed!!

Quite true :/ it's not this time I will hear "still alone", "Hanabi ep II", "Liar" etc... etc...

moar of is this LOVE, (m)u, 1LOVE, BoY, and Duty please.

here's hopin to go to the first 2 shows, one somewhere in the middle and the last 2!!!
YAY!! first concert is going to be amazing for me, I know. lol

if so I believe in Ayu, hope its going to be real 'grand' and 'big' !

As far as I heard it´s because of the accoustic in a Dome is not good for her ears. She haven´t had a Dome Tour since that with her ear happened in 2001.


Let´s say all "first hand" tickets cost the same. If you get them from resellers (at resller shops or through yahoo) they are mostly more expensive, except for the bad seats, that can be cheaper than normal price.

We can expect a setlist full of dull songs, heard millions of times. I will never understand why her japaneses fans fancy to hear again and again and again the same songs .... like seriously ???? Every fandoms I'm in, want the new songs of the artist but Ayu's fans just want the already heard to death things.... will never understand.

I was quite excited because she could pick up great songs to make this woah and forget boys and girls and such songs, until I read the fans (surely only TA) will choose the setlist.... if we end up with a kind of A classical setlist, we know who's to blame....

Here's to hoping for a great setlist and awesome stage outfits!

I really hope for songs like GUILTY and criminal. Classics please!

I hope she will perform pride, rainy days, last angel, rainbow? Lol..

evolution, SURREAL, Boys & Girls, SEASONS, and M highly possible gonna be in the list because Japanese loves these songs.

When she said this was going to be her biggest tour, she may say two things: a tour with a lot of dates, or a concert with a lot of songs. Or just a really spectacular concert with lots of props

I hope I can go finally to Japan this year and see her live *·*

I miss the giant A logos on the backdrop. AT08/Stadium Tour <3

OMGGGG this year i'll go to ayu concert... *_____________________________*

That's it, I'm even afraid of the setlist already :(

who will come to the 13-14th april concert in saitama arena?
i'm searching someone wherewith to go **

im hoping half will be voted for by fans, the other half will be some of her greats songs (not voted for).
She should have a good mixture of all the songs of her entire career!

hmm...no asia tour or dome tour which is i'm hoping for so much to celebrate her 15th anniversary
i really want to see her on Dome or Stadium...

Why? It's really hard to see her close there.

Well, we knew it was coming sooner or later lol

Google translation XD

the set list will be chosen by fan...

if i hear surreal 1 more time...

i would like to hear surreal and evolution as they were meant to be.
2 separate songs.

We almost got it at CDL, but then she up and sang the ending to surreal... lol

I hope end roll or HEAVEN will find a way to sneak into the setlist! :)

omg. for a second i thought it was a best album

probably going to expect to hear the following songs:

evolution, SURREAL, Boys & Girls, MY ALL, BLUE BIRD, Days, You & Me, Sunrise, Dearest, Voyage, M, Who.., HEAVEN, SEASONS, A Song for xx, possibly JEWEL?, possibly Teddy Bear?, HANABI? and maybe a couple of songs from LOVE again?

Not super excited about the fans picking the setlist (I tend to like songs that are rarely performed), but I'm excited that I'm in Japan for this tour! It could be really amazing.

Stupid question, but as this is the first time I might be able to actually GO to an Ayu concert, this is the first time I've thought about it: when will the tickets go on sale and how do we go about buying them? I can't seem to find the old thread about how to buy tickets :/

EDIT: So I found the old thread if anyone is interested: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72315. I keep forgetting that Lawson convenience stores sell concert tickets lol.

Actually if she sing BLUE BIRD, Dearest, Voyage, M, HEAVEN, A Song for xx, JEWEL, HANABI I will be happy lol
