[Official Message] ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2016-2017 A

[Andrenekoi]

Ayumi used the circus theme for the first time during A Museum 2003, way before Britney did that. And pretty much every performatic popstar used this theme once or twice.

ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2016-2017 A『Just the beginning -20-』

Theme out

[truehappiness]

Hopefully this isn't a thing that will spill over to the tour but it seems unlikely.

No real hint of what's to come with this other than some sort of anniversary celebration.

Fantastic photo. I like how in the earlier news entry she said "Beginning of the end" and I thought it was ominous but then this one says 20 is just the beginning Keep up the good work, girl

[Yoake]

I like the title of this countdown live. It opens a lot of interpretations and directions she could use during the concert. It might be focused on a retrospective of her 20 years of career as it might sound the beginning of a new era.

[Zeke.]

I remember being tired of the 10th anniversary-theme related things at one point too.

[Louass]

First, that picture of her is hot as fuck.
Second, I love the title so much!! I wonder if it means she's gonna start her anniversary celebrations/whatever she has planned for her 20th next year?? And then make 2018 a HUGE thing. 'Cause that'd be awesome

Like "it's only the beginning bitches I have so much planned I'm 'bout to snatch ALL the weaves!"

[freedreamer]

wow what a promo image!

[aliceshields]

At least they got the spelling right... XP

"Just the Beginning -20-", I smell there'll be some special releasing: collection of Lives/Singles/MV, A Best 3 or may be a tribute album.

Time to save money.

[Refix]

I just hope that whatever the theme is, it's gonna be different with arena 2018. I hate the whole AT is an upgrade version of CDL. It's like an ugly spoiler. No surprise factor with that.

[truehappiness]

Yeah I don't really like CDL spoiling AT, but it probably saves planning and budget to do it like that. Hopefully that won't happen this time since it's too early to do "A 20th LIVE" a year ahead for AT17.

[Aderianu]

It will be allowed to take photos during live, like at Arena Tour

[~angel*ayumi~]

theme whould more fit CDL 17-18 o.o

[Aderianu]

Looks like she has plans to use 20th anniversary theme for the whole 2017 year

Good, that gives her the occasion to either sing a lot of underperformed gems in her discography, or to sing the same old hits

[hayasaki]

Only applied for the 30th show. Anyone else attending the same
date???

I applied for the 31st but might apply for another since I was only able to apply for 2 not the 3 needed tickets but I might apply for the 29th. I also wonder if anyone from here also applied for any of the concerts

[Chris85]

I think this title refers to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games... Not her Anniversary. The fact that Yoyogi closes for renovations for Olympics.

It's the "end" for now with Yoyogi, but she is also using it as a pre-anniversary concert according to the promotional descriptions.
