Arena Tour 2003-2004A DVD to be released on 9.29.2004
 

CAROLSさん posted this bit of info:

同日 09/29 Live DVDも発売
「ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2003-2004 Ａ (仮 )」
AVBD-91219 ￥6090

It's set on the same day as the rumored "Carols" release and the Ayumi Hamasaki Meets China Princess Orchestra CD, so I'll consider this as a rumor for now.

and the person who poested this is also called carol..--"?

I really hope that this is true as I WANT to get my grubby hot hands on this!

Hmm, another rumour from CAROLSさん - interesting...

This is much more exciting news than a supposed single. I really hope this one turns out to be true.

lol, what is with this date.

ditto.

i heard that this concert is being shown on japanese tv or something? well it was on ayu's site and avex's site but i couldnt quite understand all those kanji ^_^

Yeap i hope these infor. about the relase's turns out to be ture. 2 days after my birthday and it would make a great last b day gift :rolleyes.
Thanks for the infor. for now :)

What's with this date? Why, it's my friend's birthday. THough I don't suppose that's why Avex is deciding (IF it's deciding) to release all this stuff on that day, considering that my friend has no interest in JPop whatsoever and has only a faint recognition of Ayumi (which she learned through me).

I hope this piece of news is true though.

Maybe it's the date on which Ayu gets married. And our wedding gift to her is to buy all the "rumors" she releases! :eek

hmmm... gonna buy it ^^ (if its true) ^^

Since we're onto the Arena Tour 2003-2004 anyway, what's this about?

My Japanese is too rusty for an exact translation.

^ *I think* it says there's a limited period during which the live footage is aired for free??

leafshino19@AYUNITE! posted news that on the final day of Arena Tour, a free live streaming would take place, limited to 100,000 - I think that's what that is.

Only the performance clip of the song "Because of You" which I saw and is great! 3 versions are/were available. 56K/300K/1MB You can download/view on the official avex Ayu site or in CDTV, Yahoo and other sites. It was supposed to stop on the official site after 10,000 downloads have been reached. Or you can watched on the stupid (and I strongly advise against) PrismixTV site.

TowerRecords now lists the DVD, so this is indeed true.

uh huh how quickly my money flys away from me.

thanks ^_^ this are great news :D :yes

that will be great

GREAT!!!

haha..XD

Coooll... ^_^ Thx for the info.. hope it come out :P

yeah wud b cool if it did ^^

YAY !! finally the LIVE TOUR !!!!
by the way .. i want to buy the orchestra cant waitt

It's true... looks like I'll have to wait until December and get the DVD as a Yule gift.

damn, that date is gonna be expensive ! :D

Now I know what I can have my parents get me for my birthday

Actually, I made 2 mistakes with that post. That was supposed to be only the 'Because of You' performance, and that it was only 10,000. The free streaming was at Prismix.TV.
Guess I wasn't able to edit the post I made at ayunite. ^^;

Yay!! Great news I'm really excited I wish it was out Sept. 15th though, day after my B-day. Now time to wait for this release and of course the Overseas Version cause I could never afford the Japan version of this. ^^;;

and I'm guessing the tracklisting will sort of be like this cause it was in the Special Screen Saver:

01. ourselves
02. Real me
03. ANGEL'S SONG
04. Fly high**
05. teddy bear
06. Memorial address
07. Because of You
08. SURREAL~evolution~SURREAL**
09. No way to say
10. Boys&Girls**
11. UNITE!**
12. Greatful days
13. Moments
14. independent**
15. Trauma**
16. flower garden**
17. Who...**

Eek so many typical 'Ayu' Concert songs. Oh well I should be happy there *IS* even a DVD for this. I WANT TO SEE ENDLESS SORROW PERFORMED AGAIN!!

Interesting to note that Tower Records has it listed as Initial Press Limited Release.

I wonder if any bonus features will be included, or if any songs will be cut from the DVD?

This is so cool for me. Being able to see that concert in person was one amazing thing, but having it forever on a DVD is even better. This way I will never forget.

Blinkさん noted that the DVD will be from the April 25th performance at Yoyogi Gymnasium.

Ah. The 25th was the last day. How exciting. If only it was from the night before when I was there haha.

So seems like the initial press only thing is accurate? As that same post mentions it comes in a sleeve case with a tour panphlet type thing.

Aren't you peeps happy that there are hardly any ballads on this? It's jammed with upbeat songs.

CDJapan now has the DVD listed for pre-order.

She's ending with Who.. again, according to these things. Didn't she do that for Dome Tour?

I think so. =D

Yay! good songs I want to buy this when it goes overseas and buy it on dvd not making the mistake i made on a museum this time dvd!

I like it when she performs ballads their the most memorable and touching part of the whole concert, maybe that's just me ^^;;

ayumi hamasaki ARENA TOUR 2003-2004 A

What does the 'A' at the end mean?

AMAZING of course! :yes :yes

the tracklist looks good to me
^^ maybe the the A means this is a "A" side..."B" side is something will be releasing soon...with different.....songs?!?!! BUT don't count on it i'm just guessing ^-^''

A is the first part of the tour, B is the second...usually at least. Like her Tour 2000 they released both parts because they were different.

She ends all concerts with that song...I think it was only CDL 2001-2002 that didn't end with it. That was "No More Words"--though I could be mistaken.

Ohh! So... There's a part B? You think its gonna be released on DVD?

If i'm not wrong, she ended one concert with 'girlish'... But 90% of the time its still 'Who...' lol...

If I'm not mistaken, I think she ended CDL 2002-03 with a song on her RAINBOW album.

You're right, I think it was July 1st...

If u look carefully at her previous concert DVDs, they're all titled with an 'A' at the end, which is actually the logo for each of her concerts. ('A' stands for ayumi, definitely not a-side nor amazing ==")
