Spoiler:
in the beginning, as usual, ayu thanked the audience and said that its the last concert so the audience better give her the full support and loudness! So they began the first section of the ENCORE and thats the Q&A session of cos.

A guy called Hiroshi asked this qns "Thinking back of this ARENA TOUR, how do you feel?" Ayu answered that she feels that time passed very slowly probably cos this ARENA TOUR ended in June whereas previous Arena Tours ended in around April. Other than that, everything is normal, spending time together with the same people doing the same things. BUT FOR TODAY (the last day of the tour), she felt that time passed very quickly as if she only sang 2 songs. yo-chan replied "why not sing another 20 songs?". ayu replied "when i sang ya ga da wo, i was like "so fast?".

Another guy name JinJin asked "Are there many different variations of the animated A symbol?". They started showing all the different animated A symbols used in the entier ARENA TOUR and ayu said that she like the ice-skating A symbol a lot and suggested that it should become a screensaver for computers.. (and it did!)

another guy asked a qns "Is the mystery regarding Osaka-Jo Hall solved?". There were only 2 showerheads in the Hall and were very low. And the bath tub can fit 18 people. Also, you can only lock the door from outside. Yo-chan Secret Agent was set up to investigate this matter and they concluded that the showerheads were low cos the bath tub was deep. and the bath tub is big its due to the fact that in the past, the hall was used for Sumo wrestling. so in order to fit many sumo wrestlers in the tub, it is so big. One can only lock the door from outside is to allow people to go in to bathe and also to prevent obstruction in rescue when people faint in the shower room.

A 12 year old girl asked "Although I have heard BLUE BIRD on TV nowadays, how does the whole song sound like?" ayu commented that today (11/6/2006), her performance in Domoto Kyodai will be aired. BLUE BIRD is a relaxing, upbeat summer song. Yo-chan said that the band members were ready to perform this song. ayu was afraid that she will mess the lyrics up and unknowingly, she already put on her earphones... and continued to sing BLUE BIRD.

after that, ayu went on to sing for the rest of the ENCORE and introduced her band members and dancers.

ayu ended the entire concert saying this:

A great thank you to all of you. Last but not least, let us give the band members, crew members and dancers a final round of applause!! Thank you very much!! See you again!! Thank you very much!! See you again!!

It's been a long journey this year, and it will end today. To all the people all around Japan who sincerely welcomed us, helped us and to all the audience and fans, i thank you from the bottom of my heart. And to all the fans who gathered here today, we thank you sincerely too. Before we meet again next year, let's have a wonderful year ahead together!! Thank you!

Day 1: ayu said that it was the 1st concert of the tour. everyone including the band members + dancers were very nervous. and its the 1st concert of the tour, they didnt prepare any topics to talk. so they jus crapped about the entire concert, saying that many unforeseen circumstances may occur.

Day 2: Yo-chan said that in every concert of the tour, he can come up with different topics to entertain the audience during the ENCORE session. Yo-chan suggested that instead of having an "Ask Ayu Questions" session, why not have a "Things You Don't Know About Ayu" session. and it did happen.

Nagano Big Hat
Day 3: Yo-chan read out the qns from a 21 yo man. "If you can travel using the time machine to when you jus started your singing career, what would you say to yourself NOW?". ayu answered "The future isnt that bad after all". Another 27 yo man asked the qns "Is it tough coming a long way as a singer?" ayu answered "i often think about the past, but always get confused. so i turn back and look forward eventually". after that ayu asked Yo-chan the same qn and Yo-chan answered that time passed with jus a blink of an eye. 23-24 years have jus passed so quickly.

Day 4: Yo-chan asked ayu if she has been to any tourist attractions in Nagano, ayu said that she visited Zenkoji Temple. Ayu added that there is this man who was following ayu, being her tour guide all the time, after that, she realised that the man was actually a taxi driver. Yo-chan asked "have you ever wondered why there isnt any pics of the driver?" ayu answered no. Yo-chan said "Cos all these pictures are taken by him.".

Yo-chan asked ayu if ayu tried Nagano's specialties, braised maggots and grasshoppers. ayu said that she didnt dare to try. He then asked "did you eat the wheat noodles ytd?" (shows a picture of ayu ordering that dish.) Yo-chan said that the person taking the photo is also part of the Yo-Chan Secret Agent, cautioning ayu to be careful.
i'm not thanking you for these part yet, alternarist!
so, thank you so much!!
