Just the beginning -20- TOUR 2017 ~V: Second chapter~

[Jenji]

does anyone know if there is still a possibility to get a hand on tickets for her shows in February? I missed my chance applying for the lottery through the fanclub and I would love to go to one of the shows.

you can try getting tickets from resellers. Im sure theres still some left.

I think the hall tour wasn't epic enough for tv, plus no CDL, or she knows she will have this setlist till finale and wants to show it later on.

Can I have a question? I have the TA tickets for Kobe and Nagoya, will I be able to find the place where I need to exchange them easily? Also, what do I need to have to exchange them for ticket? Will a print from LivePocket be enough? TA numer? My ID/Passport, anything else I need to know?

International FC?
Then you need your ID/passport and digital TA license to show at TA booth directly at the venue.
At least it was so few years ago^^

So it's at TA booth? I guess I saw one at CDL14-15, with long line though, thanks

I feel strange without her CDL this year, not that I can attend, but, I feel like something is missing (or incomplete). 😕

[Sim']

The digital TA license and the LivePocket digital ticket aren't required anymore, they only check the ID/passport. That's because your name is written on a post-it behind the printed ticket (which is itself anonymous), so they ask you to confirm if it's your name before handing the ticket.

As for the TA booth, just look for this TA sign near the goods, you won't miss it.
(it's a table where 2 girls are sitting behind for the lottery and the exchange of tickets)


The lines were kinda inexistant for the Chiba (chap.II) and Nara (chap.III) shows, exchanging tickets at the TA booth was very fast.

^I would like to see another album like this

[truehappiness]

I think she just has to have the desire to push herself beyond things like this tour. If she wants to, she can do it.

[EndOfTheWorld]

She won't change just on her own. I think she will need some kind of inspiration to return to that kind of mindset. I would like to see a new album like Secret or GUILTY. FLOWER has clearly become the standout track on Made In Japan and I think that Ayu should pursue a more rock orientated sound.

I also think she should pursue rock. Her voice has always sounded great with rock, but as her voice changed it didn’t continue to sound as great with other genres of music she’s chosen to make. Rock really is the only genre that truly compliments her current voice.

Me too. Rock Ayu is my favorite Ayu. Her rock songs and her Ballads are the most memorable parts of her lives for me.

I also missed the lottery. I'm waiting for the general sale to start to buy from lawson's (l-ticke.com) but I'm also keeping an eye on tickets from ticket.co.jp . Hoping to get tickets for February 20.

Maybe we can write her a letter and have a bunch of people sign it? Or an online petition? I think we're all just sitting around hoping she notices, but she won't until we do something noticeable.

About her next album, I would love to see her go back to the four interludes, ten tracks format. Or even better, if she can pull off something with the feel of (miss)understood, that would be awesome. I am glad she did not end up releasing anything in 2017, but I also hope that it's because she is giving herself more time for her next album.

Yes! I would love a 12 track album with 4 interludes.

So there's three AHS members attending Jan 31, in Nagoya, right? SKYia, myself and someone else? I think the third person was Hayasaki but I have a bad memory lol

Anyone know a good place near the venue that would be open for a post-Ayu concert meal? If the show starts at 7 it should finish about 9pm-ish. I know Nakau has decent food (and an English menu) and is open 24/7 Or we could meet up earlier in the afternoon and see if the army of Ayu cars shows up

Are they doing that lottery thing where you buy a CD and draw a straw for prizes?

I don't know the area around congress center so well, but Kanayama station is not far (subway 1 stop) and there are many options around there. It depends on the kind of food you want. Personally I go to Yamachan a lot with friends. It's an izakaya that serves chicken wings that are specific to Nagoya, but also has Japanese style food. Food is good and inexpensive. I think they have English on the menu as well.

Hi! I'm attending the 29th show. The venue is near Hibino station which just a station away from Kanayama Station, our city's second busiest station. There are lots of shops and places to eat around the area.

[Ayumi_lover]

Anyone else also attending today’s show in Saitama?
