oh how I tired from pink goods...

truehappiness · #2 2nd December 2016, 10:59 AM

It would be nice if they went for some other colors like the one year she went for purple.

Aderianu · #3 2nd December 2016, 11:14 AM

Ayu use purple quite offen for CDL. I don't mind that color =)

attractive nausea · #4 2nd December 2016, 11:20 AM

^^ What a drastic change lmao

Wish she went for blue

I don't understand why, if her tours don't sell that well anymore why don't she just have less shows ?

!Lawi! · #6 2nd December 2016, 03:03 PM

^This. I'm no marketing expert, but if her shows as they are now (in terms of number of dates, of costume changes, props, ...) were not profitable, Avex wouldn't let her have that many just because she's Ayumi. So she must make quite a lot still, right ?

I don't mind CDL themes to be "introductions" for the following year's Arena Tour, but it's often frustrating because her voice seems to be better during CDLs than ATs, and the overall rhythm and "grandness" of the show is better during ATs. Of course it's not always true, please let me forget MIT.

Made in Japan did have fewer shows that previous tours.

I think the two years of TA tours in a row have been an experiment of potential future directions. Look at Namie and Koda -- they both do a ton of shows per year, but they're playing halls and smaller venues. The production is minimal or non-existant, smaller staff, etc. It's easier to move around from venue to venue, with fewer overhead costs to running the show. Ayu definitely isn't at the point yet that she needs to do that, but it might be a direction she takes in a few more years.

I just hope we'll get a big Show for the 20th anniversary... As big as "Cirque de minuit" and "Hotel love Songs"

That advertising is unexpected! Not sure if I like the picture choice... What does the text behind her name means?

voltron · #10 2nd December 2016, 07:36 PM

The text under her name says "Countdown Live"

I would love a dome tour for her 20th, like Namie did...but I don't think it'll happen. But back to CDL...once Yoyogi closes its doors for renovations, I think it'll signal in a new chapter for what an Ayu concert is. I'm not sure why I think that, but I do.

Any song guesses for CDL? No More Words is just waiting for a comeback, and I'm going to keep putting it out there in the universe until it happens.

I'm really thinking about that! Probably her shows will be smaller and smaller with the time. I can see her giving up of one of her concerts (AT, TA or CDL). It's the natural flow her career is following.

About the songs I would love to have "no more words" <3 That's such an amazing song! Also "End of the World" and "Because of You".

may be 2017 ayu will planning first HALL TOUR (same as Koda Kumi 2014 tour/2016 tour), the area is smaller than ARENA tour but it's bigger than Limited TA tour. Namie Amuro 2016-2017 tour is HALL TOUR too

Actually most japanese singer like HALL tour because the sound equipment of HALL is very good and better than ARENA or DOME or STADIUM

Tokyo International Forum HALL (above 5,500) Most of japanese singers concert like to recording DVD/BD at this area

Spoiler:

She should take a year or two off from touring. Absence might make the heart grow stronger.

Louass · #14 2nd December 2016, 10:46 PM

^As much as I would hate going a year or two without seeing new Ayu performances, this woman definitely deserves a break! And I agree it might make people miss her and want to support her even more when she decides to come back. If she took a year or two off, and then came back with an AMAZING album and tour, with proper promotion, she might be able to regain a few fans, imo.

I am in love with that billboard tho

I'd flip if I saw that walking down the street

ayuuk · #15 3rd December 2016, 08:02 AM

^I am so excited about Namie's 16-17 hall tour!!

By the way, I am curious whether or not Ayu has held a hall tour?? If so, which year is that??

skyblio · #16 3rd December 2016, 08:44 AM

What's wrong with the ticket lottery system?My ticket of the CDL in 31 shows still waiting result...I don't know whether i have been selected or not..

merveillesxx · #17 3rd December 2016, 08:45 AM

Already got my ticket for 31st Dec

melissalove · #18 3rd December 2016, 10:26 AM

^ hopefully, gosh I'm loving "just the beginning". It's an awesome concept.

gwadamomo · #19 3rd December 2016, 08:28 PM

What about someone else's credit card? Like your family, friends. I think it's easier than finding someone in Japan who's willing to pay on your behalf.
