Hope they will record the DVD at Saitama Super Arena, like the UTADA UNITED 2006 :333
This Arena is really HUGE *-*
I think more than the Yoyogi Arena... ?

[Bigtop]

A new tour, huh?

I don't get it, besides Singapore, what other places where you expecting her to do concerts? I mean, I believe the only big markets for Jpop (besides the ones she's touring) in Asia are Singapore and Korea (and she isn't popular in Korea).

Oh well, hopefully she'll add concert in Singapore 'cos seems like there's lots of fans there...

Yeah. I think about 5000 more people?

[nodoka]

i have a feeling that the one in Hong Kong is going to be a big hit.

Revisiting the schedule, I really hope the performances at Osaka-Jo Hall are the ones that make it on the DVD. Saitama would be great, but those are the first performances (assuming she doesn't add more Saitama shows onto the end of the tour)...and if she releases a new single around that time, she's more likely to perform it during the last shows of the tour (depending on when it's released, of course...but with A BEST 2 now official, it would probably be late spring). What would be ideal is if she added another Yokohama or Saitama performance to the tail end of the tour for her final shows, hence the performance that will be recorded for the DVD.

I know I'm thinking way way way far ahead, but it would be great if there were some sort of documentary about the Asian part of the "Asian Tour" released at some point in the future...

And since the info about the "Asia Tour" is included with the Japan dates, do you guys think it actually WILL be the same show that she's doing in Japan? I remember a lot of theories floating around about it being a totally different show with more of her classics since her fans in those areas have never seen them performed live before...

[s1012h]

Chances are she won't release a new album in 2007.
A BEST 2 is probably her only album for 2007.
I just don't think she'll pop out another single around June, and then release another single another 3 months, then shock us all by revealing that she has a new album coming out.
Too much work, I think she should just release singles until late 2008, and release a SUPER huge amazing album to celebrate her 10th anniversary... if I'm not mistaken

[truehappiness]

She might still do an original album..

I mean look at Secret. She did more than half of that album in about a month..

[chocopockymaster]

^ And it was all totally awesome.

I think the Japanese and the OS shows will be different.

Also, she might release a single on the day of A BEST 2 just like SURREAL and Duty. I think she'll release another single by the end of her tour, this time a 3A or a 4A. And then she might release a mini-album by the new year.

[s1012h]

i guess that could happen truehappiness
i would like another original album by the end of 2007, if it's gonna be the same quality as Secret.

[evolution7931]

UGH.. SOME 'ASIA' TOUR THIS IS.

And if the finale isn't even in Asia.. then we won't get good footage... and it'll just be like some stupid JAPAN tour again. IM SO BORED OF JAPAN JAPAN JAPAN...

and this is like her smallest tour ever..
The last time I was this dissapointed was when I saw the cover of (miss)understood...
I should have known this idea was too good to be true..

The news page on the website it so pathetic.
"ASIA TOUR 2007!! HERE ARE THE DATES!!" then they have a big list of like 10 dates in Japan.. all neat and organised. Then you scroll down to the BOTTOM of the page to get the Asia dates. Nice.

[Delirium-Zer0]

I don't know if anyone's seen this, but i found this advertisement at a japanese blog (http://ayulove777.blog19.fc2.com/)... it seems to be advertising some kind of vacation package for japanese fans to go see her overseas shows.

[Sim']

^ LOL xDDD

Thanks for the advertisement =)

Seems like Avex had FINALLY found that they can make big money in this tour, that could just be good ^o^
Hope they'll begin an important promotion in Japan/Asia soon :33

[Vash!!!]

Oh well, of course, I feel kind of dissapointed that Ayu isnt coming to Singapore. But we cant ask for too much. Afterall, it is perfectly understandable that Avex did not schedule her to come to Singapore. If anybody here understands what marketing is about, then Singapore is really way out of Avex's expansion plans for Ayu-sama.

Well, in my honest opinion, we cant expect Ayu to go wherever we want her to go...I mean, thats a bit rude...I am not trying to be rude to all the eager fans or what, but personally I feel that if she cant come to Singapore (for example), then I will try to make an effort to visit her concert in Japan (although I dont know how long it will take me to save that amount)...

i am hoping the shows will be different too. that will make it more special.

yes, Singapore is too small. if she comes here, the ticket prices will be very high and that makes a higher risk.
but, don't forget Rain! he's tickets cost SD488(the most expensive ones) and the cheapest are SD188. so, i was kinda hoping that if he's concert is sucessful, it might tempt Avex to put a concert here. afterall, Singapore still have a strong market for j-pop.

[alternarist]

singapore is small, but there are a lot of die hard ayu fans here!! u mean we cant fill up an entire indoor stadium? hmm..

[jasjasss]

why do i feel li ke
she is going to have another TOUR that says A BEST 2 TOUR or something

[Geminik]

Is this a joke? 3 countries and call it ASIA TOUR? May as well change the title or stay in Japan. Either she or Avex is misleading the global fans. Or she's only testing the market?

[syntherella]

Thanks for the heads up! The tour sounds more Far Eastern than Asian… I was hoping she would at least visit Seoul to diversify the venues. I would of course be over the moon if she stopped by Singapore, I would sell my GCE O Level certificate if I had to, but I don't know if we have facilities large enough to accommodate her grand set-ups. If I'm lucky, I might be able to skip a few lessons and jet to Hong Kong… Probably nah.
