OMG!!! another asia tour?????????????????

I guess she was happy with the last one. I hope her Asian fans make this a success! :)

No dates for Asia locations yet but that's what they wrote as the title.

Since Ayu seems to have fallen in love with HK, I wouldn't be surprised if there's another one.

but if it is asia tour.. why is all the venue that is listed is only in japan? please come to singapore or malaysia!!! i soooooo gonna go...

Wow that was fast but I'm glad to see another Asia tour!

yeah why....
why not indonesia hiks hiks T_T

Possibly they haven't finalized the dates for the Asian locations.

Asia pacific please!!! AUSTRALIA AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Nice. I hope Avex will at least release the previous Asia Tour before the new starts off. Thanks for the good news!

if this is an Asia-Tour; why are there no gaps in the dates... For the previous Asia Tour, she had gaps in the japanese leg to travel to asia and to perform there..But these dates are so close together

^she's bound to add on more dates as usual. Possibly after the last date as it's a hall, and I doubt she'd perform a finale at a hall. The "ASIA" dates mite be after, as will the real finale.

Btw, I noticed she's performing at a lot of halls instead of arenas.......

oooooo cool! PLEASE COME TO SINGAPORE.

if this is true then I'm definitly flying for once concert to asia even though at this time I will be working on my bachlor project.

awesome!! hopefully i can go next year!

but that schedule si so-tour-in-japan!

how could it be an asian tour?

WHATTT..
asia tour again..
OMG thats great..
i luv2.. wawawa

why she wont make world tour?? ^^

omg another one? another one that I can't go to? T______T but this is great news. Hopefully they will release the first asia tour dvd before this. There was rumor about a-nation asia tour. I wonder if that will still happen...and also I guess we'll have to wait till the following year to have a guilty tour.

Yeah...I wonder if it means that her concerts dont get filled up as much anymore...

all the dates are in japan. how can it be called the asia tour???

lol some people just don't read whole threads before posting... A few users have already written responses saying that she will probably add Asia dates later.

As far as the dates go, there's plenty of time left during June - 1.06 and then there's 7.06+8.06, and then 17.06+18.06. I think these two gaps are just enough for a few performances outside Japan...

hard tour :yes
thanks for the info ^^

NO PLZ NO...i hope she doesnt repeat like last year...EXPAND YOUR REALM AYU!!! come to South-East ASIA!!!

ASEAN loves u!! 19 in Japan is enough :D

thanks for the info :D

omg that's awesome! thank you very much!! The 10th anniversary perfromance!

wow, great...!! but where's 07's DVD lol ...

aw man, my sems. break isn't til July T^T

if they are gonna update the official site soon, maybe they will add in the previews..

So are the Asian tour dates going to be before or after the Japanese ones or maybe a mix of both?

^if its mixed, then she wouldnt be going may places again...i think asia wans are in march and june....
then with a-nation, she cant go on tour anymore....NOOOOOOOO...chances of SEA are lower

^Isn't a-nation also going on an Asian tour as well?

Translated dates:
April 5-6, 8: Tokyo Yoyogi
April 12: Hot House Super Arena (?) (Old Grande 21 - Miyagi)
April 19: Shizouka Ecopa Arena
April 26: Fukui Sun Dome
May 5-6: Nihon Gaishi Hall (Old Nagoya Rainbow Hall)
May 10: Hiroshima Green Arena
May 16-17: Kobe World Hall
May 24-25: Osaka Jo Hall
May 31-June 1: Fukuoka Marine Messe
June 7-8: Yokohama Arena
June 17-18: Nihon Gaishi Hall (Old Nagoya Rainbow Hall)

oh my god...another ASIA TOUR...wish to be there again...hmmm..but i highly doubt that i can't attend anymore why ayu why so fast!! at least make it like another 2 years...

yea well, it's the anniversary..hopefully it will be looked so great..

wow..i just can't believe that the time goes so fast..

I hope Ayu will come to Thailand. . . I want to see Her concert . . Ayu Onegaishi masu . .

Some of the halls = arenas. She's performed at all but 1 of these venues (the Kobe World Hall, but that apparently seats ~8000, so it's an arena)

i hope she will go to hongkong or singapore..PLEASE SINGAPORE!!! its cheaper than go to hongkong...i will go for sure...YAY!! AYU!! i will see you!! YAY!!!

But then, some of these halls are smaller...especially compared to last year's locations.

I AM SO FREAKING EXCITED NOW!! I AM ALREADY PLANNING MY HOLIDAY... + WATCH THE CONCERT!! :D team ayu's news are definitely trustworthy!!! thanks for the news!!!

i think the ASIAN locations are definitely gonna take some more time to finalise. so let's jus wait and see.. :) i think it will be updated soon on her official website soon!!

THIS WILL DEFINITELY BE MORE SPECTACULAR THAN THE 1ST ASIA TOUR!

omg so freakin` awsome!! :D Another Asia Tour!! Cool!! Btw, Asia Tour 07 isn`t released yet and she is already on 08 >_>

but if she really go to singapore, i bet it will be a HOT BATTLE to get the ticker of her concert, everyone from malaysia, indonesia, thailand and singapore will try to get the ticket, i believe she will held it at singapore expo that just have 8000capacity..WOW it will be really hard to get the ticket, but no matter what i will get it with all way..hahahaha

Yeah yeah AyuGAME if she come to SG and you come let's get the ticket ASAP!!!!!!!

The ayufreakers from Indonesia will surely prepared their stickyfingers!!!!

Please Ayu at least she'll go to South East Asia....she got a lot of fan here....and I will do anything to get the ticket, even If that mean I would sell my handphone and changes to my old one

I hope she'll do in SG!!!!!!!!!!!!

Singapore Expo is jus 2 buses away from my house. i am serious that i will freaking camp outside expo.

thanks! for the news! ^^

if Singapore is one of the destination, i think i'll go!!!

how bout...USAsia tour?! HUH?! HUH?!?!?!? :'(

hope for singapore stop too!!
my brother and i will definitely go there!
oh god, please make one of our wildest dream (go to ayu concert and see her directly with my own eyes!) come trueee....!!!

hmm. damn this sucks, i thought this would happen.... GUILTY will be forgotten in a 10th anniversary tour, but ASIA TOUR 2007 was already like an anniversary tour with all those old songs........

yes!!..please come to singapore =p

YES YES SINGAPORE!!!!

Yay. The last show in Japan is 6/18 (or 18.6 you decide).
That's great, because now I have a chance to take a part in there. It's quite a little chance but at least I have one. :P
I'm not sure yet about that am I going to Japan next year, but maybe.

Thanks for the information! :)

Maybe it's because she wants to do something like Koda Kumi. A more personal performance. I'd like that because it would probably mean more interaction with fans :) Wonder if she'll do something special on her anniversary on 4/8 :D

Stupid dates ~_~ I hope they will add more dates because I want to got to one concert next year _O_ and my summer vacation start on 26th of june :(:headache

please ayu dun disappoint us(the asian fans) again!at least include some "fresh" asia countries ie Singapore,Malaysia,Indonesia!And if ayu comes to singapore for a concert,my friends n i will definately grab the tickets as fast as we can!!!^^

Maybe there will be a single released in late April. It'll be almost 5 months from GUILTY so it'll make sense.
April 12
-6 days off-
April 19
-6 days off-
April 26
-8 days off-
May 5

Those gaps could be used for promotion. Or maybe Ayumi & Co. are just resting for a bit. :P

I think these 3 gaps will be her overseas performance. (Hong Kong, Shanghai and Taiwan again)?

Or Ayu will first have the shows in overseas first? (January to April).

As she usually have the last show in Japan!

Also, Beijing 2008 Olympic, I think the ASIA TOUR will be finished before August in 2008.

please come to singapore
i will rush to SISTIC ASAP

Where is the source for this?
*edit: I got it LOL


Anyway I hope I'll get to see her live once

I want a world tour! Come to America! :[

i cant go to the tour..
this year is my final exam for graduated from senior high school.
then i must continue my study aboard and i dont want my parents spend alot of money for me...
maybe next year if ayu make a tour i'll

we deserve a World Tour... D;

Didn't Ayu perform at a ton of these halls before during her Arena tours in previous years? :|

oh wow o_o if shes gonna go to hk from may - august...i might be able to see it! OMG! OMG! this is greattttttttttt news, thanks for posting!

I want her to perform at the indoor stadium!!! unless her stage is too big...
JUST COME OMGGGG
Singapore!!!

OMG! Another Asia tour XD
Is she insane?

^No, she's just Ayu.

I'm glad theres 19 dates (and more to come obviously) for this tour. i thought only 15 for ASIA TOUR 07 was a big lacking...

Yay! It's looking like I will be there for the April 5th, 6th, and 8th shows in Tokyo. Plus Morning Musume is having their greatest hits tour at the same time - such a lucky girl I am. :)

I dont want ayu to release another ASIA tour now... she need spore promotion for her singles TT__TT

Oh cool. For a second (Once again >.> ) I thought it was the release of AT07, boy was I wrong xD Ugh... This year's CDL is gonna come out before it I bet LMAO!

Yeah . . world tour is much better . . every single ayu's fan can watch her

Great, now we just need the last one.

someone or some people from Singapore should all write in to some company for them to bring Ayu here....
i remember them saying it was too expensive

I am insanely jealous. Too bad none of these dates fall on Spring Break...:(

Well......I will try to make it to one of them!

great news! thanks.

Yeay, finally the dates!
I was waiting to finalize my vacation dates to Japan, but I can probably just go see the first one on Saturday 5th of april, and go back home on the next day. (AND it's in Yoyogi, a dream come true, last year I was at the Yokohama concerts)
But there's bound to be more dates to come and wait until it appears on the official site (although TeamAyu is the official fan site ;p)
It's strange she doesn't do her final at Yoyogi though... Might still change.

^ Not really.

Her final last year wasn't in Tokyo either.

I guess. But she didn't go to that many cities for Tour of Secret compared to this one. (I think she only went to the big ones like Nagoya, Fukuoka etc.)

I think she's going to use those weekend dates again though. Another possibility could be that this is like a "Part I" and the Asia part or "Part II" will be in the fall? (after a-nation?)

OMG! Another asia tour! I hasn't expecting that. :P

I'm glad Ayu is branching out of Japan more often now and going into Asia more. Jay Chou's been doing that for ages; he even comes to the US regularly! I wonder why Ayu hadn't gone international earlier.

congrats to all you Asians who will get to see Ayu!

*pouts cuz Ayu's not doing a worldwide tour even tho she knows thatz ridiculous to expect* lol

I wasn't expecting that O_O
but it's so great!!
now there is only one thing missing: world tour ^^ come visit us Ayu!!

Um, America?

Thanks for the info. I wasn't expecting another Asia Tour.

That's great! I hope she sings many of her classic songs + GUILTY tracks :D Btw, we're still waiting for the Asia Tour 07 DVD...

you guys are all jumping in conclusion way to early...
she could still add more dates to different parts of Asia -__-

but...where is NoA...
ayu come to Toronto...there's quite a lot of Ayu fans in Toronto too T_T

Thanks for sharing the details! But I have some things to say:

1. These dates are for JAPAN PERFORMANCES ONLY - there's no outside-of-Japan performances. But I think they're still being finalized... Definitely, I think, Beijing would not be one of them - there's the 2008 Olympics coming later in August, so she should not want to ruin Beijing. Most likely there would be Taipei (as on her previous ASIA TOUR [~Tour of Secret~], she said that she wants more performances there), but the outside-of-Japan performances might happen in the middle somewhere, or might be somewhere before the Japan portion of the tour.

2. The ASIA TOUR 2007 ~Tour of Secret~ has not been released on DVD yet - I'm not sure why it's delayed - maybe it's because of cost overruns, or takes time to edit, or maybe they are considering to have this ready also on high-definition formats...

3. These schedules are tentative, and that would include but not limited to the venues and the times of when the doors open and when the performance start. There's no guarantee on when Ayu would start her performances each day on the tour. These schedules are SUBJECT TO CHANGE with or without any further notice.

That's going to be interesting. The tour ends on June 18 - that's actually the day before my last day of the 2007-2008 school year (June 19; however it's also tentative, subject to change due to weather conditions...) - I can't wait for that! And I hope she performs the songs from the album "GUILTY" - including the title song! But we'll have to wait for another three more months for the tour to begin...

IMO, she is going to release the DVD in these 2 ways

(1) Release in Another Best album next year. Makes the best album very good-deal.

(2) Put Asia Tour 2007 & 2008 together? Like Asia Tour 2007 is chapter 1, and Asia Tour 2008 is chapter 2.

The Tour is going to end at June 19. I can see that at that moment, she will have a new summer song and going to sing it at the end of the date of Asia tour 2008.

i believe will be different, maybe they will release it during asia tour 2008, so people will buy it...and maybe she will release another best album with extra dvd, but i hope it will be separated stuff with many documentary film

Best = NO.

It makes more sense that they're doing some sort of documentary for AT07 that will release with it..

I got a feeling ayu will come to singapore this time. hope my feeling is right

Guess that debunks the world tour.. so next years tour won't be ~Tour of GUILTY~

Well since last years was a success, why not try again.

why can't she just release 2007 by itself? i dont see whay we need to make up reasons as to why it's being released later than usual...

or GUILTY TOUR 2008. Hmm sounds so not right.

i don't think the final one will be in 名古屋
let's wait the 2nd announcement

yay for another Asia Tour...too bad no World Tour any time soon though but ya can't have everything :P *still waitin for Asia Tour 07*

Or maybe put it in a 4A single + 2DVD set?

BEST album??? err no...really dun wan that...i dun see a point actually....
and i really hope for a 3A single unless she is busy..

Thanks for the news! 2008 should be excting for ayu&co. =]

i hope she will appear in asia..(i think is impossible T__T)

Wait...does this mean she'll have the same stage for CDL and have not so elaborate (or either remake) dress for CDL???

If it will be like that...I don't really fond of this news then....

ar..! y not in singapore??
