ayumi hamasaki ASIAN TOUR 2007 A~Secret (???)

[se7entheaven]

Well...maybe I'm too soon to discuss this
But if she really DOES her ASIAN TOUR next year...will it be a 'Secret' themed tour OR just a 'collection' tour...like singing all her oldies hits and just put in some new songs from Secret?
I DON'T WANT THAT.......hahaha.......not that i'm being too much...but i would glad if she does a special tour again like last year and this year with MY STORY and (miss)understood.
So....yeah...maybe she'll sing like 'M', 'Fy high'...or etc.... 'A Song for XX' would be nice......

and maybe her DVD will be shot in the last day...like in Japan
the footages will be her lives from every asian countries

i'm weird today

[freedreamer]

i wan all the hits even from Secret..she is bound to sing songs from Secret coz its the most recent and all HER favs and OUR favs...i noe its gonna be specacular..

cant wait! (come SG plz)

[elepop]

If she does an asia tour, I think it would be best to make it a collection tour. Singing her bestest hits would be better in my opinion. Sort of like her "A MUSEUM" tour.

[criminal]

Since it's her first Asian tour, she could do a "collection" one, she could also call it ~40th single celebration~ or something.

[alternarist]

of course its a collection tour!!!!!! because i think that ayu will probably sing songs from Secret in her CDL. so her asian tour shld probably sing something more popular like M, evolution.... those songs that everyone noes.. but i do not want it to be like A Museum.. no poker face.

[AyUmIXx]

i think that she will sing her oldies..since it's her first time to do asian tour..
people outside japan want to hear her to sing her top singles that she ever released..

like dearest, M, A song for Xx..

but i hope she will sing songs from Secret~

[ayu_fan929]

Maybe it's going to be the extension of BEST of CDL in the Asian tour....

[DerrickRocks]

From what she has done in the past and the vibe i am getting from the interview is that. Ayu knows she is going to be extremely tired after this tour but cannot take a break at all if she wants to stay on top. she knows about kumi koda so she made the statement.. "People chose what kind of music they listen to, it cannot be forced on them and will continue to sing as long as people listen. Ayu listened to her fans and knows she has fans all over the world so she is not dumb as people think and not ignoring her fans. So most likly she is going to sing songs from all her albums in Hong Kong and singapore and maybe Korea. Expect her greatest hits and a Secret only tour months after maybe

[Ayumiko]

i think it will be a bit tiring for her if she does a seperate arena tour for secret...coz this asia tour will be from march to end of june and after that there will be possibly the a-nation concerts...I guess unless she wont do a cdl 2007-2008...but if koda kumi will hold her concerts next year around this time of the year...I dont think avex would let ayu have concerts around the same time as koda. I think the asia tour will include the arena tours in Japan (maybe not as much as normal) but she will have the most in japan. Other asian countries will have I dont know 2-3 concerts each? like she will stay in a country max 2 weeks to perform in the concerts. Since the cdl for this year has the BEST of, it could be possible she might do awesome stuff like her arena tours and it might be secret based. (I dont know, to make up for the lessor tour dates next year coz of the asia tour?)

Correct me if Im wrong...but ayus earlier arena tours didnt have as much concert dates as her recent ones like my story and m(u) right? For the asia tour, I would rather see her perform her classics like a collections theme than a secret theme. She already sang born to be, startin, blue bird in m(u) tour. It would be nice if she includes some song from secret like 1 love momentum, secret, until that day....(ok so basically all the album tracks...lol) plus some songs I havent seen her perform for a long freakin time...dearest, M, a song for xx, etc

What I would love to see ayu do:
-a big ass dress to perform a awesome ballad!!
-have the water fountain thing from my story again! but instead go all the way down to the audience! (I saw on youtube that jolin tsai have the water fountain thing (but not nearly as good) in her recent taipei concert too...hmm...)
-a awesome opening....ex. evolution from dome tour, born to be from m(u)
-keep those moving screens and continue to have those clips in between songs!
-omg...better costumes! I would love to see her with cowboy hat again

ok I think Im thinking too much...I wish I could go but even if I cant, I want the dvd!

I dont think ayu tries too hard to stay on top...like she said ppl choose what they want to listen...and she will continue to sing as long as ppl listen. Like it doesnt matter if alot of ppl or only a few...as long as there is someone. She knows she have reached her peak and I think she will do what she wants and not mind other ppl. Like she said, she doesnt and doesnt want to compare with other artists. I really like the cnn interview

I really doubt that an Asian tour can last 3 months. It's not like she is going to go to every city in Asia... I think the whole tour including Japan will last for 3 months and within that 3 month period, she will be going outside Japan. And I doubt she'll stay in 1 country for 2 weeks. Maybe 5 days max? That's the most logical thing I can think of.

And why can't both Ayu and Kuu have concerts in the same time period? It wouldn't be much of a problem since it's been done before. In 2005: Ayu's, BoA's and Ai's tours were held in the same period (April-ish). This year: Ai's and Ayu's overlapped each other in April/May and BoA's and Kuu's tours overlapped each other in October.

Her 1st tour was split into 2 but had like 15 shows in each part so that's as big as MY STORY or (m)u.

Dome Tour had the larger capacity, so she had less shows.

In 2002, she had a smaller Arena Tour, but that was made up by having a Stadium Tour.

The 2003-2004 Arena Tour was probably a bit less than MY STORY? I'm not sure about that one.
****
edit:
(Not including CDLs/a-nation)
2000: 32 Arena Shows (split into 2 parts)
2001: 8 Dome Shows
2002: 21 Arena Shows, 10 Stadium Shows
2003: 27 Zepp/Hall shows, 8 Arena Shows
2004: 29 Arena Shows
2005: 26 Arena Shows
2006: 30 Arena Shows

Yes that was what I was trying to say...and its not like ayu and kumi cant have concert tours around the same time. I know its been done before with other avex artists. I was just thinking what if kumi decides to do arena tours next year? oh well that doesnt really matter coz I dont think ayu will do a seperate arena tour aside from her asia tour all within next year anyways.

oh thanks for the numbers of previous tours. I dont think ayu will do too much concerts outside of japan...maybe just some major cities..shanghai, taiwan, hong kong, maybe korea, singapore, etc. and the rest will be within japan. I wonder which location's concert will they put in the future concert dvd.

[[taskin.ayu]]

I THINK she will do more older songs, but I hope she sings a lot of her new songs as well. I hope it will be more amazing than anything we have seen before!

I think for sure Hong Kong, Singapore and Taipei. Most likely Seoul and Shanghai and/or Beijing.

They might not make a DVD specifically for the Asian Tour. They might just have 1 DVD and it will be filmed in Japan...

[ExodusUK]

I think it'll be a collection kinda thing. This tour is going to be a big thing for other asian residents that haven't had the pleasure of having Ayu singing hits & album tracks from her lastest album like in Japan. Maybe it'll be like Ayu's version of Madonna's Reinvention tour? Throw in some album tracks (JEWEL & 1LOVE of course) but have lots of previous hits. Maybe even change the setlist around depending on country...
BTW I want it to be a huge stadium tour like in 2002 but Ayu's ear might not be up to it but you never know with Ayu. Maybe we underestimate her...

[nizpo]

i think it will be a collection too, and the DVD SHOULD be from another country, we already have like 9999 DVD concerts in some stadium,dome,arena of japan, i need a diferrent location =D!

[alternarist]

Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Australia, SINGAPORE (last stop)!!!!!!!!

well.. i think these are the more likely cities.. if singapore is the last stop, then i will get a heart attack.. cos the last show always gets something special although i duno what is it lol..

[Eigakan]

this sounds quite exciting.

It'll probably just be the Japanese performances [she'll save Yoyogi for last, and some Japanese venues sprinkled throughout..]~

But if avex goes crazy, we could have tons of material.. :O

[ayu1m]

To me, this is crap she should've just stick in Japan.
