[~angel*ayumi~]

Did we have it before that tour dates were not announced before the first lottery registration deadline?

[TeamAyu2004]

Im super excited that I might be in Japan during this tour and I should be going!
yassssss

[YUKARI]

can't login to my ta account

[TeamAyu2004]

Have they been posted yet?
I need this in my life. lol

[AyuGAME]

Very late tour schedule..hmmm

[pedronekoi]

Wonder if they will release TA Tour 2016 as well... (I even forgot about this)

[KuuXAyu-fan]

Hope she announces a new album and the tour dates together.

[Evan Odinson]

I have no problems waiting as long if it means they are planning something good and not in a rush, I'm still excited about it

[TeamAyu2004]

Doesnt she usually have a concert on her anniversary?
Thats coming up soon!

It's too late this year for any April dates I think. Probably the tour will start in May sometime.

[Aderianu]

for me it looks like they announced that tour will have 60 dates, but didn't find enough venues yet
so this delay is because something went wrong %)

this is ridiculous

give us dates next week pls, ayu

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I don't expect Ayu to start sooner than the summer. I even guess she will start after a'nation and that this tour will also continue in 2018.

Venues could be the issue. I just prefer to hope they are working on some insane sets, props and costumes.

I hardly doubt they will begin after a-nation, if she is starting rehearsals now.

Though it is pretty common that rehearsals could take long. Maybe this tour will smash all our expectations.

[JEWELian]

most likely, the majority of the dates will be hall dates (hence the extended run of 2-3x shows than her usual tours), with arena stops probably limited to the major metro areas (fukuoka, osaka, nagoya and tokyo).

a lot of other artists run extensive hall tours year-round and theirs are usually locked in well in advance (kuu's 2017 tour which starts april 8 for example and all dates were announced beginning december 2016)

so it's probable they're having a hard time scheduling the halls if it was a late decision into this year's tour's planning.

otherwise, there might be a delay as the tickets will go on sale quite soon (1 month ish) before the actual shows if she starts with halls because they're likely to sell out faster due to the more limited than usual capacity. (and i think most likely she'll start with halls and move into arenas as a ~finale~ but could go either way i guess). so it's possible if dates are announced later this week the tour could still start in may.

[dreamalley]

I'm pretty pleased that she seems to be taking things slower this time.

[!Lawi!]

Im utterly convinced the tour is going to start in July. It's a simple reasoning: I've always had bad luck with Ayu.
Waited for her for hours outside her hotel in Paris... missed her.
Booked tickets to see her in London... missed her.
Went twice to japan... never during tour dates.

Now I'm going to live in Tokyo until June, and I was so sure I'd finally see her live, but I'm honestly starting to believe it's going to be her first late tour in years now.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

Omg that sounds horrible. I hope you get the chance to see her live!

[truehappiness]

The timing is reminding me of PREMIUM SHOWCASE somewhat since we were wondering what she was doing up until the April announcement of PSC + Colours.
