In her most recent IG post Ayu mentioned that the "very important meeting" was about the 24th anniversary show!
Ayu said that they'll chage the whole set* and that she will sing some old songs that she has never performed live before.

*I used a translator, so I'm not sure if "set" is referring to the staging or the setlist – either way it's good news

it means setlist

which this 24th anniversary show will be total different setlist, I believe 90% of the song will change. and never performed song and rarely performed song.... hmm... looking forward!

[Katsuyuki012]

^Thanks for clearing that up! I'm very excited about all the things that are about to come.

24th Anniversary live is over, next stop is at Kobe 23 and 24 April. And those are last announced dates

I'm watching national news here in Brazil about the lockdown in chinese cities and now I wonder why Ayu didn't announce any tour dates in China yet.

I highly doubt she can make Asia Tour into other city in Asia. The COVID-19 situation is getting ridiculous. If the country lock down the city at the beginning of pandemic, it's understandable because we didnt have vaccine or drug. Now COVID-19 has changed to be weaker, and we have vaccine and drug, and the lockdown policy needs to be updated. It is not 2020.

It's not 2020, but if we have another variant escaping from vaccine immunization (it's a possibility and it's not a low one, specially when the number of cases are high, even if the death ones don't follow up), yes, we come back to 2020. I hope we don't reach that point again.

Yeah, better safe than sorry.

Now the world has other things on their mind and are sick and tired of even thinking about COVID-19, it is still dangerous and totally risky. It surprised me she announced this tour in the heat of the pandemic. I hope she can continue on soon, because I really would like to see this show and I would love to plan my visit, regardless the safety risks. But, I don't think that COVID is over soon, and I heard that Japan closed the borders... the timing is the worst.

[Aderianu]

I think at the time she announced this tour the hope for the future was still existed. Omicron wasn't a thing, vaccines were spreading little by little. People thought it all will end soon

[LOONAppears]

she should use this as an opportunity to include intl fans a bit more and do concert streams without an audience but every time she streams one of her concerts she region locks it... what would be cute for her to do would be doing like a "k-pop style" showcase concert for when her album drops this fall and livestream it BUT actually let people outside japan be able to pay for it and watch it without any issues and vpn... like what utada did for bad mode kinda

i have sooooo many good ideas she should hire me tbh

[ayu_fantasy]

When will she be announcing the countries she’s having the Asia tour? I just can’t wait. Singapore is actually allowing concerts already.

[kelvinkhew]

I wonder if the same setlist today, or probably add on Nonfiction?

Last links gone (), some other songs changed as well (Party Queen, Nonfiction and others were added it seems).

[YakuSoku]

Is there an audio for Sexy Little Things?

[SKYia]

I always wanted to see Curtain Call in the main part of the show, preferably similar setting as in the pv but I'm not happy about Sexy Little Things falling out.

[Katsuyuki012]

Sad about Last Links & Sexy little things. Does this mean she replaced the black & white outfit (w/bunny ears) with a pink cutesy look? I like those sections but it would be a shame to replace that costume. Also, as much as I like seeing it return, she's giving us DoY for the third time in a row now. I'd rather she kept SLT to maintain variety between the shows (which she has been good at).

[pheonixflame15]

I’m still happy she kept like a doll and NO FUTURE

[alternarist]

ayu also didnt tease her audience with new tour dates right? the future of ASIA TOUR is now a mystery.

Based on comments I found on social media, she replaced the cabaret section with the Barbie section.
