She will most likely do something for the victims, though. She'll probably dedicate a song to the disaster.

She has 2 shows in Sekisui Heim Super Arena, which is in Miyagi, one of the worst-hit areas. But those are in July, so maybe they'll get things up and running by then...

[!Lawi!]

^Let's hope so, not so that Ayu can tour in this city,but for their health and wealth themselves... I'm still unable to realize what is happening in Japan, it sounds so surreal... I can't get over it.

[Kazeyomi]

Actually I wouldn't understimate japanese people. I mean, it's impossible to fix everything in a couple of days but it won't take ages like here in Italy with L'Aquila (and it was a 6 earthquake. Don't let me start about it seriously ). I guess. Although damages were made by the tsunami, mostly.

[TeamAyu2004]

Im pretty sure once everything starts to settle down they will be very quick and getting their lives back to normal as possible.. It is never good to dwell on the past...
The Japanese people are super fast. Everything will be all good!

Maybe in those areas Ayu could do a charity concert in which all the sales from the tickets go to the city. So fans can come and enjoy themselves without feeling like they wasted their money on entertainment instead of necessities. It's a way for them to forget about their troubles for a few hours while at the same time contribute to the cause.

[TeamAyu2004]

If the venue which she was suppose to perform is still there. I dont know if she would even hold concerts in the effected areas. Who would be there and the people trying to rebuild might not want to go to a concert if she did have one.
She could through have certain concerts donated or do the charity singles which i would like her to do.. lol
REdepute of CREA!

highly unlikely though :'( but it would be a fitting moment to have crea make a comback. It would seem odd for ayu to be like " her can you compose me a track to bring relief to the victims of the earthquake" to someone, i think it would be more fitting for ayu to herself want to make the music herself to get her message across... but perhaps im totally wrong. Dont get your hopes up.

[TeamAyu2004]

I agree with you, thats why this would be the best time to bring CREA back so she can convey how she truly feels!

[jbrat2219]

I honestly don't miss CREA, but I wouldn't mind her making a comeback. But like AyumiAi says, the time isn't right. If CREA came back it would take away from the focus of the song, which would be about the quake.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ You think? I thought it would be a perfect expression of what she feels and is trying to get others to feel.

She writes her own lyrics to do that. She only really writes a song when she doesn't like the compositions given to her. Or so I've heard.

[TeamAyu2004]

True she writes the lyrics, but when she writes the music as well its like a double.. cant even think of the word.. But its just, to me, means more and i feel like its almost like "doubling the experience" i guess.

Sorry if I dont come off as understanding.. lol I dont think i know how to put it into words.

I know what you mean, I just don't really agree. To me, it's her words that capture me the most. I honestly can't name 5 CREA songs, although I know the majority are on I am... Plus I think one of them (SURREAL?) are part of my favorite ayu songs. So,,,, CREA doesn't really mean much to me hahaha. But like I said, I'd welcome a return. New music is new music.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ you know what, I think i know what i was trying to say. With the words they can mean anything to anyone, you know. but with her music, when she makes it, thats how she truly feels. I think I get a better connection with her when I can hear her lyrics with her music..

BWAHAH.. i explained it lol

EDIT:
Oh, and i agree with you too. The lyrics can be just fine as well (:

Hm don't get it. X)
Can somebody translate please?
Thank you.

[Luja.]

I think they changed the (earliest possible) dates to pick up / buy tickets for the different shows? Even though I don't really get the point of that. But in the line for the first two concerts in Saitama it says "未定" and google translator tells me that means "postponed". Does that refer to the concert or the ticket sale?

[truehappiness]

Yeah, the ticket sales have been temporarily postponed, and the show is still going on.

They'll probably have the tickets out for the Saitama shows a little later next week or something.

I wonder if Ayu's been okay when it comes to rehearsing what with all the craziness of the last week...

[OyTony]

So the show will still start on the 9th April?
Only the tickets will go later on sale?
