Well, happy 20th anniversary to Ayu!
Honestly, though, this isn't as exciting as her 10th anniversary celebration. We're way beyond her past.
And I do have to agree what 280301 just said above:

She seems so uninspired. Perhaps that is why she decided to do PoM in the first place, perhaps she is wanting to hold a tour that champions music as opposed to grand spectacle...it's just odd that so much has returned, and there's not a lot of new? (at least according to concert goers in the tour thread?)
When I was watching her CDTV performance last night, I was reminded about how great SEASONS and Surreal are, and the slew of hits she has had over the years. This lady definitely could make another hit...she just comes across as lost right now. I can't help but wonder if some of that does come from financial issues, not regarding her own finances, but those of Avex and what they are willing to expend now that she is no longer a massive star.
