Maybe you thought about this other festival? At least in 2016 there also was this a-nation event taking place at yoyogi (no broadcast except excerpts for TV news though). I think it was something like a-nation island.

Was that an invitation to see her at Kobe airport? I'm honestly super tempted to go if I knew she would arrive at a reasonable hour!

I wonder if there has been some kind of rumor about Tyson circulating since it mentions "running away to America"? I mean, she posted a pic from Hawaii on Twitter but it's an old picture =/

Sad there's absolutely no buzz about new music anytime soon. I mean many people were disappointed by the 15th anniversary but at least they did a nice set of consecutive releases to celebrate. The 20th anniversary should be an even bigger deal but there's nothing at all besides the new arena tour. Come on Ayu...

Her staff sometimes post photos from airports and stations, so seems fans meet ayu all the times she arrive and leave.

Seems japanese fans worry that she will move to America again but I don't know from what it started. From that picture? This is weird, because all of her vacations was somewhere outside of Japan.
This is kinda sad that even if ayu post something innocent, like this white party picture it may lead to meltdown

I know right... and Im so sad too


Bout the post of Hawaii, why japanese fans feel like that? For it is obvious Ayu is just missing summer much, she keeps saying of how it js very cold now in Tokyo and she misses the warm places, and so posted pics like in Bali and Hawai.

Why people...

[pedronekoi]

That reaction over her picture in Hawaii is so weird. And the fact that she had to apologize (again) about moving to the US is kinda insane. People can be so harsh...

And I really thought the tour ended in Nagoya! But there's still so many dates.

[KittyKathy]

She is moving to the US? Why?

[Katsuyuki012]

^um, if you would read carefully you'd know that she won't move there (at least that's not what she said). She posted photo of her and her dancers in Hawaii because she misses summer etc..

[KittyKathy]

Then I didn't understand well.

[Katsuyuki012]

Well, japanese people seem to be confused with it as well^

[EndOfTheWorld]

I wouldn't be sad if Ayu moved here.

[attractive nausea]

How about japanese fans mind their own business and stop being selfish little brats? Some might say we are also like that but at least we're discussing/complaining here on a forum Ayu propably has never heard of so she can't get hurt no matter what we say. I feel sorry for her to have so judgmental and intrusive (japanese) fans.

[Katsuyuki012]

It's just so exaggerated. Like, god she's not leaving her fans just because she lives somewhere else. She still toured, made new music etc. when she was living there. Making her apologize for something that in no way was wrong is something I will never be able to respect.
What do they have from it anyway? Except for her work, she isn't really seen privately except a few candids. So what do they get from it? She's still close to her fans and imo where she lives totally doesn't matter. And I don't think it's her "leaving" her fans either. That would be if she wouldn't do anything for them anymore etc..
And she didn't even say she will mover there again, she just misses summer and posted a photo from her summer vacation. Unbelievable.

And making her apologize AGAIN? Really? Enough is enough...


On another note, I recently listened to Hana again and only now I realized that she has two songs called flower, just in different languages.

She lived in the US around 2010/2011 (irc) and a lot of japanese fans were upset because she left Japan to live in the U. And then the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake happened and she wasn't in Japan during that time and lots of japanese fans said that se was supposed to be there for Japan. 2 months later, she apologized and announced that she and Mannie were divorcing and that she was coming back to Japan. Then, last week she posted a throwback picture in Hawaii and people started to wonder if she was going to live in the US again and then she wrote a post on TeamAyu apologizing for living in America in 2011 and saying that she won't leave Japan again.

[Aderianu]

I think ayu ran away to America after unsuccessful relationship with Maro

[hud]

didn't she live in the US during 2013-14 while married to Tyson though...

[attractive nausea]

^ Yup the right time was 2013 when she met Tyson then after getting married to him she was living mostly in Los Angeles in 2014 which i think is the main reason why Premium Showcase tour was so short.

She was indeed planning on leaving Japan to live in LA with Mannie in 2011 but she cited the earthquake as the reason why she felt like she couldn't leave her country and stayed in Japan (but i'm pretty sure that's a fake excuse for the media and the real reason why she didn't leave Japan is because she already felt at the time that she and Mannie would break up lol)

[Katsuyuki012]

^wasn't she also partiallyy preparing for PSC in LA? I remember she'd rehearse the aerial acrobatics there.

[EndOfTheWorld]

Isn't over analyzing everything Ayu does normal for Ayu fans?
It's pretty crazy that it became such an issue that Ayu felt pressured to make an apology. I don't think Ayu should be sorry for living overseas. If she wants to live in another country I don't see what is wrong with that. Plus, Ayu's career is 100% in Japan and she spends almost all of her life working. If she did live outside of Japan, most of her time would still be spent in Japan anyway.

[Aderianu]

If I remember it right, premium showcase was short because show was technically complicated and only 3 cities had venues for it
