Remember Don't Look Back's lyrics: "People always start talking about the times when they shined the brightest; that is just too sad." It doesn't bother her that she isn't super popular anymore.

If she isn't bothered, then neither should we. As long as she continues to release music, it's ok, right? Her latest interviews show that she wants to continue making music for a loooooong time.

yea.. that's all that matter for me
i don't expect her to be like in her peak anymore, even though i still have hope that she will be able to reach 2nd peak, someday, but then again, it's all up to ayu.

for now, i'm just happy that she is still active in releasing music. ayu is happy, so am i

Yes. It seems like they're changing things up this year where they'll have one major act as the 'main headliner' each day, along with other artists that are performing...Ayu is the big act for August 31st, Tohoshinki for the 30th, and BIGBANG for the 29th.

I miss the way they used to do it. It made for a long day, but holy shit it was so much fun!!!

They don't put kuu as a big act in any of the dates? Unless if she won't be there at all or just that they don't act like she is a big act (and avex made her the title of queen of live) which would be really surprising.

I don't think Kuu has actually been announced for a-nation yet...I'm sure she'll be in one of the upcoming announcements. Her tour ends on the 16th so hopefully she'll be there. It wouldn't be a-nation without her!

[Corvina]

Kuu isn`t announced for a-nation.
She can`t go for the first few dates cause of her tour.
And for the latter we`ll see.

[ayumisrael]

At least there's still a chance, I was surprised I didn't see her in the list of any of the dates.

I thought it was strange, but thanks for confirming. I would think the combined ticket costs for the 3 days would be more than the one single concert?

But they've been doing it like that since 2012, that's when these changes took place for the first time.

Really? Guess I wasn't paying attention. That's lame as hell.

Yeah. In 2012 I planned my trip so that I fly back home from Osaka after attending 2 A-nation concerts there, so I bought plane ticket, concert tickets, because I was sure that Ayu would perform in Osaka as always. And then they announced artists lineup and no Ayu for Osaka at all. I was shocked LOL Well, at least I saw TRF and Exile live.

Dude, I feel your pain. The first time I went to a-nation was in 2008 and it was when Ayu hadn't been announced for ANY of the a-nation dates and everyone was collectively losing their shit...I went to the Osaka show, no Ayu, then got on a plane to China and she performed at the Tokyo shows a few days later. xD Typical.

[hayasaki]

That's why if you really plan to see Ayu live on a-nation these days, you should really plan on going to the final date!

I hope i can see a-nation this year.. coz i'm planning go to japan the end of august... Hope i can get the ticket. If not i can still buy the goods outside the venue...

Me too actually. But I don't want to risk getting to Japan and not getting a ticket so I think a buying service if the way to go now. Any advice from those already with tickets?

[orangeakira]

Now that the concert is over, I wonder when we'll get the dvd.

[Luja.]

So.. CDL. I know it's still a few months to go but it seems that we will have CDL this year as usual right? Or was there any indication that it might not happen? Seeing as she is changing up her routine lately in order to fit her new life, so there might be more changes ahead? (Even though this would be a really big one).

I'm asking because I always wanted to attend CDL and this year I'll get my chance - provided it happens.

You'll have to wait until late October for official announcement. Unless Ayu writes something about CDL in Team Ayu diaries earlier. Since no one is discussing future CDL in Mixi, I guess there are no indications at the moment.

Me too, I can't wait to pre-order PSC and I hope it features a limited edition with a photobook <3

[maikaru]

They showed a little bit from Ayu's concert on Music Station last night, like 10 seconds. They were commenting on the flying portion during Angel, but anyways she sounded good!
