[kawai]

TOKYO -elaborate stage and costume had marked the last day of Hamasaki Ayumi's Arena Tour 2003-2004. The dazzling performance has captured the hearts of the 12,000 audiences in Yoyogi Arena yesterday.
Ayu landed on the stage on harness from 20 meters height and belted out 18 songs for the night, including hits like Moments and No Way to Say. When she sang No Way to Say, the costume that intergrades with the background had even expanded to the height of four meters and ten meters in width, comparable to those worn by the like of Enka singers like Kobayashi Sachiko during NHK Kouhaku performance. A lot of laser effects were also used.

In deep appreciation to her support fans and audiences, she had yelled "Thank You Very Much!" without the mic at the end of performence.

The Arena tour had 31 performances in 12 venues with a total attendance of 230,000. Ayu will be focusing in the production of next album which is going to be launched this year. (Various sources, translation by AHSforum.com)
