I'm excited for the reason that hopefully she will do lives in September/beginning of October and I will be able to go see her! =) so happy!!
And it's not unheard of to celebrate the 20th anniversary before and until the anniversary itself. kuu did it twice for the 10th/15th anniversaries for example. The tour will probably start after ayu's 19th anniversary in less than two months so it's just rational. Just the beginning probably implies that the celebration will be until the 20th anniversary itself. Not afterwards. Maybe she would release something like A BEST 3 on the 20th anniversary or special stuff this year too until then.
I would hope for a new original album until then.
Wouldn't mind if she goes A BEST 3+new original album too but if it's on the 20th anniversary next year so better release another original album until then
This is the first time ayu does a long hall tour, that's amazing! Maybe it is better for her to be closer to the crowd, it's a good strategy, the impact would usually be better.
If she will be vocally awesome like in the TA Tour date I went to I would be grateful.
