[News] LOVEppears / appears -20th Anniversary Edition-

[Sandy]

Just preordered mine, yay! It'll be here in 7-30 business days, hehe! Hopefully, I'll still get it before Christmas (:

I've never preordered anything in my life but this is the Ayu-album for me and I've been saving for this so yaaaay ^-^/*

[truehappiness]

They are doing a special set list live kinda thing for the album.

A live stream of SET LIST LIVE today for the recorded order of the first disc of "LOVEppears"!
To commemorate the release of ayu's album "LOVEppears / appears -20th Anniversary Edition-", there will be a live stream on YouTube and LINE LIVE at 11:00 p.m. today of "SET LIST LIVE", which will present carefully selected live videos of songs sung over the past 20 years based on the compiled order of the songs recorded on disc 1!!

"LOVEppears" is ayu's second album, and it topped the Oricon Daily Album Ranking for November 7th, showing that it has not lost its vividness after its release 20 years ago.
The numerous representative songs on this famous album such as "Boys & Girls", "TO BE", and "appears" will be selected one by one from live videos of them being sung from 2000 to 2019, and then presented on a live stream in the order they are compiled on the album!

In addition, for the songs "P.S. II" and "LOVE ～refrain～" on the album that were not previously sung live, videos of "POWDER SNOW" and "LOVE ～Destiny～" are planned to be streamed!

You might get to see nostalgic live performances you once went to, and for anyone who has never experienced it before, this is a good chance for you to see live entertainment performed over 20 years all at once, so be sure to check it out.♪


◆Stream date: November 9th, 2019 (Saturday) from 11:00 p.m. (JST)

I wonder if Ayu is involved at all with these happenings though or if the staff is just doing them since they 'work'.

It's happening right now if y'all are interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o5bm6weu8NA

[Deep snow]

watching right now. I don't know the point of this, but I'm enjoying the ride, per usual

[Earth_maiden]

^ I think that's the only point, really. Nostalgia and advertisement.

[kendelle]

There's been about 5.5k people watching most of the stream which is really cool

[voltron]

And probably make sure she sells those CDL tickets when they go on sale lol

The stream just ended. No "secret" kanariya performance was added, not that it's that important, would have been nice, though. Apparently the video is private now.

I'm sick of kanariya erasure...ayu must be embarrassed she hid what is one of her best songs as a bonus song

[gustavismo]

Oh, I missed that Is there a list of the lives they picked for this playlist somewhere?

Namie's studio albums used to sell 300k and her re-releases albums didn't sell more than 3k OVERALL

I know it's different because Namie didn't remaster her tracks but still unbelievable

I don't recall Namie doing a re-release album.

^ I believe the albums was re-released at a lower price during her 20th anniversary along with her DVDs.

Thank you so much, Katsuyuki!! Pretty good selection even though some songs weren't performed that often... And glad they picked the AT15 for immature, it was definitely a stand out performance!

[EndOfTheWorld]

I was able to catch the entire livestream.
I really enjoyed it a lot. I think it was actually a really cool idea and I can't think of any other artist that has done something like this. It's too bad they removed the video though. I wanted to be able to watch it again sometime.
