Is this a joke? I seriously can't tell. They only thing they were inspired by is the ORIGINAL A BEST COVERS.

I'm gonna need for Ayu to step it up. Those t-shirts look like something I made for fun on CafePress.com. It would've been awesome to just have the entire front cover of the album cover the entire front portion of the shirt with the 15th anniversary written in gold.

Pretty much... T-shirts with an iconic album cover are pretty common among rock band fandom, and this seen to be what they were aiming for this time.

I kinda like the shirts. It does remind me of vintage old band shirts. Does anybody know what size they'll be? ^^

Freesize is normally small-medium right? :O

[Uknow!]

25 on Music Station

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

^ Nice! Wonder if there'll be a noticeable change in arrangement for this live

[rainbow_smile]

Wow not SEASONS and M

[Ryusei]

Omg yay I love A song for xx and the performance at the cirque de minuit tour was amazing.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^It was. I'm also glad it's not SEASONS or M. A small medley would be nice also. Anything from A BEST, really. Trauma, the trilogy (only way I wouldn't be annoyed about SEASONS), Fly high. Just wishful thinking.

[truehappiness]

Freesize tends to be men's medium-large (but in Japanese sizes) IIRC.

[SKYia]

still no info about the book though... I would get it if it had a nice photobook, something must be worth the price, it's 70euro for a cd that usually 17euro and tshirt that could be sold for 5euro (but usually costs 35), so I would expect some badass photobook.

Oh yeah, the bluray/dvd, I keep forgetting about them.

[rainbow_smile]

^ we do have info about the book though:

Anniversary book has hand written lyric notes, "A BEST" liner notes from people related and behind the scene photos when the famous "Tears" jacket picture was taken.

And there was also a sample of the handwritten lyric notes

[truehappiness]

The notes are pretty interesting. So much scribbled out.

[Honey_Jae]

Hope it will be a performance like "A Museum". Really love it - don't like these rockish versions of A Song for xx...

T-shirts...hmm don't know. Looks like you can make this by your own. Nothin Special :/

I think her performance is going to be a fabulous masterpiece with a crew of 100 dancers and an elaborate rock orchestra! I am sure she will wow everyone and the re-release of A Best will shoot to the top of the charts to mark her return as the original queen of Jpop! CAN'T WAIT!

Also can't wait to buy one of those t-shirts for fifty bucks off Yahoo Auctions and wear them. What an exquisite stroke of creative genius. I really love how she takes inspiration from some of the most original parts of fashion history - the ICONIQUE rock band t-shirt with album art carefully and artisanally placed on a 100% cotton (I'm sure it's organic/free trade cotton too!) - and makes it her own by placing her own album cover on it.

What a true return to form!
