So, the tour cost around 1,800,000,000 yen to produce and about 170,000 people were in attendance to the ASIA TOUR.


Sponichi reports that the length of glitter's PV aka "short film" will be 15 minutes long. That means that fated is not part of it, it seems. O_O

omg!!
so much info
thanks honey! :D
i'm so excited now!
so will there be a PV for fated then??

NICE!

I don't know :<

I don't think it was ever reported that fated was part of the "short film"... was it?


Only now we get "confirmation" that it's just glitter. Gaah, I wonder what they're planning!

thanks for the info!

I hope the short film is good :)

There will be a PV for fated. It's listed on the DVD tracklisting on Avex's mu-mo store.

oh ok, thankies :]]

Maybe if we are lucky Andrew Lau is going to make a film for fated, or a film for a song from her next (next) single because he did say he had something planned with ayumi, eh?

OMG i'm dying (again) here! I really wanna listen GLITTER (live version) :D

But, the wedding dress cenes... they all belong to GLITTER? where is fated's pv T___T

good point!
i sure hope so!
his movies are really good so i've heard! :]]

great news, truehappiness!
congrats to ayu, it had been the best tour that every fans around the world will remember forever

can't wait for the DVD!

Maybe this single gonna like this:

15 minutes PV for both songs. The wedding scenes and kissing scenes doesn't really fit for glitter. Fated should be the ending song for the PV.

I was talking about this with a friend just yesterday... my guess is that the short film will start with glitter and end with fated.. that could be awesome

Yes, but they're listed as separate "PVs"..

that would!
but according to this news, it's just "glitter" as the mini-movie!
with "fated" as a seperate PV..
meh, i dunno.
i liked your idea more too!

hmmm...well then i hope fated will be an entirely diff PV but they said it will be connected

thanks for the info! the "glitter" short film sounds interesting so far.

This just speaks of glitter being the short film:

<3 Thank you~!

aww...no tsuki no something (i forget) #2.

Thanks for the info! This should be really interesting. I'd forgotten all about the short film, haha.

Tsuki ni Shizumu, if i'm correct

i hope that both PVs will be separated...that is glitter will have that 15min short film while fated will be just a normal PV!then this single will be well worth it to buy!

Omg. EXCITED!! Ok I don't even care I'm so preordering this now. I was gonna wait for more details before I decided to get it but at this point I'm so excited I can't contain myself!

maybe is not all the truth... I'm just saying it could be a possibility 12 minutes? it could easily 6min for PV

unless she plays the Sonim card and does a PV 12 minutes long which could be awesome too!... but she did spend 7 days doing the PV right? maybe she did both PVs and I heard the glitter is the fun of part of summer and fated the sad part of summer right so they could be link...

i wonder what language are they going to speak in??? english?? or japanese and chinese?? but we will probably have english subtitles!

english subs!! ._. that could be awesome!!! just like a movie!! but.. I wish those were mmh.. part of the DVD like.. you could either change the subs to japanjese english and chinese ._. ..... and spanish xD :thud :P ok not the last one but it could be awesome too xD

she should do that! T_T

^ yeah i think changing subs from eng, chinese and japanese will be available...but spanish... xD

Final Live? i totally missed this! is Ayu going to retire after the Final live?

^ Final live for this secret tour.

oh heck no!
it's just the last night of her tour!
ayu isn't finished!
not for a longgggggg time! :]]

:eviltongu is available in my dreams!!!!! :thud

there's this guy on youtube who used to put spanish subs under ayu's songs!
but his videos were copyright claimed by avex! :irked

oh well!

I want the DVD with English subb!!!

ow..thanks for articles

i relli wanna see the making of this video!

damn! they deleted my videos and my account :irked

I had a CM on YT. It was quite popular. They killed it.

Anyway. glitter is going to be so awesome. Srsly. <3 Oh, how I wish it were... well, later. =/

Jajajaja LOL.


Thanks for the info !!!!!

And i want to see glitter and fated PV !!!!!!!


!!!! :luv2

^ So this mean fated PV is not yet be filmed? (awwwwW)

anyways besides this PV i am also excited for the SONG glitter and fated, i only heard the previews once and i forgot how it sounds like so i can't wait to hear the full song~ :luv 2

and also the asia tour and all the bonuses that will probably be on there!!

well seeing as we don't know how "glitter" sounds as a whole, it could have a period where it is really tense and mysterious and sad or whatever...or, the wedding scenes could be during a part where the music ISN'T playing...seeing as it is a short movie, the song isn't going be playing throughout the entire thing, i'm sure there will be breaks where its just the "movie"...however, i could be wrong...

i would love if "glitter" was the short movie and "fated" has its own pv..thatd be awesome ;) i sense that this single will sell quite well, maybe 400,000!!! haha...if it's promoted right...having commercials for the short movie and such :D

---

and as for the final performance, it looks like its gunna be great!!!

i think it will probbaly be like voyage where they take scenes from the short film and put it in the PV

and yeah it would be good if fated had a different setting from glitter ;)

maybe is glitter showing how much there in love and getting deep into it then Fated is the last part like conclusion

Does anyone remember if they said that they were also filming fated in HK? o_o

I don't recall it, I just remember people deducing that it was as such since she was doing cover shots there in two places and PV shooting in two places..

Hm who knows, maybe fated doesn't even have a pv, though it is highly unlikely and probably somewhere the pv for this song got mentioned. Guess time will tell. For some reason I think this single will be a very ambitious project and I suspect avex is aiming for pretty high sales and loads of hype.

According to info from news sites that has been there for a while, both songs will in fact get PVs. :o

maybe there will be 3 things on the dvd.... the short movie, the "glitter" PV (edited and shorter than the movie, like "voyage"), and then the "fated" PV? as well as (hopefully) making of's haha

OK. Guess I missed it since I was too busy lately :P

All this info is getting me excited.

not that much till July, XD

i cant wait again ^^

Wait..what the freak? 15 minutes for one song? Even the My Name's Women wasn't that long and it seemed to drag on forever! Even if they'd put both glitter and fated in the same PV it would be a long time for just two songs!!

15 minutes?!

Holy canoly, Ayu, what are you thinking?

-is excited to find out wtf is going on-

^ Yeah... the info says that the PV is 15 minutes not the song.

thanks

ok, that's not so long

cool! I trust Japanese news reports more than Chinese ones :D I'm glad its gonna be for glitter...that means no beach pvs! (unless fated will have one...than that would be weird...o_O..should be the other way around)

Isn't glitter sounds like its gonna be a upbeat summer song? I wonder if its gonna fit the theme of the pv.

the PV will include SECRET XD haha

http://www.sponichi.co.jp/entertainm.../06/11/07.htmlRough translations
Ayu performed in her hometown Fukuoka, and finally completed her ASIA Tour in front of 8500people.
This is also the first time in history where she ended her tour in her hometown.
This tour has spent a total of 1.8 billion yen.
In a short 3 months, she has toured in 5 cities [Japan], 3 other cities in other countries, a total of 16 performances, and mobilized 170,000 total people.
In addition, the short film for 「glitter」[around 15mins] that is to be stored in her upcoming single and was shot in Hong Kong, has completed.�

^ oOoo~ thanks fo rthe translation

damn! let us see the PV already! :irked

about the concert dvd...I wonder if they're gonna put the last concert on it like usual...is the Fukuoka arena big?

Not too big. It held 8,500 people, which is a bit less than usual [10k+]


Yoyogi was pretty big and it fit around 12,000 people?

^ How much did she earn during this tour?

Let's see... 170,000 people times 7800yen [average, since the ASIA dates had weird pricing]:

1,326,000,000yen? :O

Hmm, interesting :)
Thanks for posting~


(I love how that cross looks, it's so gorgeous)

YAY! glitter will be 15 mins and fated will be another but still in the storyline...yay! I can't wait for the single AND DVD.
170,000 that's huge X_X.

1.8 mi> 1.3 mi
~_~ big gap

^What are those? ^_^

The cost of the tour and the theoric money she earns during the tour.

Well, you have to account the immense amount gained from tour goods sales..

Oh god, so much money. LOL

[if half the people bought shirts, that's like 3500yen times 85,000. 297,500,000yen from shirts alone.~]

^That's a lot! Tour tickets + Tour goods= Huge profit...

Do they sell albums as tour goods as well? (If yes all of the artist's albums or just the last ones?).

That cross looks quite interesting. I skimmed through the posts and saw no mention about what song they used it for. Does anyone have any information on that?

They sell the entire discography that isn't limited.

So AUDIENCE, SURREAL, and so on are not available. But all others are. Old singles, old albums, old DVDs..



It was used for "kiss o' kill" at the end.

Sounds intresting :) i realy can't wait...

yup!The tour goods itself are already A BIG profit to them!so i'm pretty sure that they earn enough or even more for this Asia Tour

and just to add on,A LOT of pp bought ayu tour goods~and i think her tee-shirt,uchiwa and light stick are the HOT items~lol

I'm happy for Ayu's success. Hope this means a much much bigger tour next year!

tour goods are the biggest profit on her tours
everything is expensive and sells out after the concert (not everything, but a LOT of things)

english subs would be a great feature!

So, glitter is only a PV of 15 min???!!!

and fated not part of it?

it is gettin' crazier and crazier...first theere is a very very sad MV plot...and ITS FOR GLITTER?!!?! shocking! i wanna see how this turns out...and o m g...BIG profits?...1.8 billion on production OMGGGG

Thanks for the info :D

^thankyou for the news
:D

wouldn't it be so cute if they were speaking english? :D

I can't wait till the next vivi diary scans...hopefully there will be pics of the pv filming...maybe something about fated pv too? :D

Ahahaha, "I rabu yuuu!"? That would be cute. Coming from her.

After listening to "glitter".... This'll be VERY interesting.

No Yoyogi then? Thats a shame. Something special about that place, since most of her concerts were filmed there. With that slanted roof.

Thank U for news!
I can't wait to see new PV and live DVD >.<

I hope that means fated will get a regular PV of its own.

almost 15 million dollars... nice... wonder how was the revenue.

arigatou gozaimashita~

It's not her fault.

Yoyogi is under asbestos removal construction until late 2007, so.. yeah.

CDL07-08 is still on for being in Yoyogi I think.

^Wasn't BEST of CDL 06-07 ayu's last COUNTDOWN LIVE?
Of course I'll be extremely happy if not, but didn't she say it's the last one?

Thanks for sharing the news!

No?

max matsuura said something about CDL07-08 after they stated that Yoyogi would be undergoing construction or w/e.
