YOU ARE SO LUCKY
At first I was scared if I haven't been selected so I thought should I choose more than one venue?

But I don't have money enough so I just bet my life with one chance.


See you at Tottori hope we will have time to talk

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Just leaving Hiroshima now I can’t decide which set list I prefer (act 1 or 2) but honestly No way to say alone makes me lean towards act 2 lol. I loved the winter instrumental medley too, though I personally would’ve done Nwts then MOON.

Her voice was pretty good! I had bad seats this time, but enjoyed it a lot. Much better venue location than the Chiba one.

[brener]

^ nice

how were the outfits?

-----------
a friend who attented last night show said she changed all her outfits, even encore ^^

^

it's nice that all 47 locations will happen

when there's not a band involved it seems much easier to tour and reschedule, although i will always prefer a concert with a band

[ayu_fantasy]

Will she have a band at CDL 23-24?

I wouldn't count on it. She will probably have the A STRINGS at CDL, so only live violins(like last year).
At least since Trouble tour 5 years ago she almost never has live band, apart from a few rare shows that were exceptions - including this year's Anniversary show in April.
I might be wrong but I think she first dropped the band for TA tour in 2016? There are many speculations as to why this happened but I personally believe more in budget restrictions. Fewer shows per year in Arenas, long tours are mostly in smaller venues - it means that revenue is also not what it was until 2015. (Btw, number of back vocalists increased a lot compared what it was 10-15 years ago as well. ) I think there was a choice of either paying to have a band, or paying dancers or having dancers and amateur musicians on band (which are cheaper), and TA management made the choice.
Not sure how apex manages live band contracts, but for other major artists in Japan they get paid per show and it is quite expensive to have a live band supporting a major act.

[brener]

^ makes sense, a live band needs a lot more rehearsals as well, logistics are more expensive too..

it's quite comprehensible, though i'd love so much to watch her perform an acoustic set with guitars and piano

Pick the dates you’d want to attend. You’ll be charged for the dates you pick. You’ll know if you win or not when you check the website. When you win, you won’t know what seat(s) you’ll have. When I went to the venue, I picked up my tickets and found out my seat #. You’ll have to show your passport based on the name you registered for the tickets. Hope this helps and good luck!! Yes and I agree, look out for standing opportunities. Keep checking the TA updates on the app and emails from TA.

Lucky to the person who got the opportunity to go onstage. I should have made a poster with the U.S. flag, maybe I could’ve gone up too

Hiiiii
did you use Anypass or how did you “Receive your ticket” before you collect the actual ticket at the venue?
i tried using Anypass and SMS dont work and for phonecall (to validate the mobile number) i heard a string of japanese words, got hung up, and still couldnt validate Anypass omg=(
i really hope to go to this tour………….
what will happen if i use another phone/phone number to register? can i still get into the show? T_T

I'm from Thailand. I haven't used Anypass.
Just livepocket is ok.

I was struggled like you in the process of number verification.
My solution is go to my mobile network shop, ask them to open the data roaming so I can send an SMS to Japan.

Hi dear, I am from Singapore as well. I signed up as a teamayu member, then there will be an email that will be sent. Using the link, you can sign up via livepockect to bid for tickets. As I signed up before Oct, I didn’t have to do the mobile authentication thing. What I think is u have to enable overseas sms via ur mobile service so you can send over the otp to authenticate. I hope this helps.
