So Avex axed JUNO from a-nation and that angered Ayu.
From reading her tweets I think she wasn't gonna perform at all during the Tokyo shows but knew her fans had bought tickets so she instead refused to close the show.
Yup this. Im pretty sure SM was doing a lot of pressuring on Avex and it ultimately affected Ayu's performance. It's really ridiculous in this sense...but we know Ayu, she doesnt stand up against this pressure in the corporate sense.

Ayu never let's people push around the people she cares about.
I'm happy she stood up to them but unfortunately the situation with JUNO hasn't changed.
Avex knows Toho is bringing in the bank so they'll take their side over a new artist any day.

A-Nation is tomorrow, right? I always get lost with the time difference so I'll just ask in how many hours will it start?

omg 50 dollars for cinema ticket, lol I would never pay that

w/o Kuu or Ayu, I wouldn't go since everyone else in a-nation I like will be touring at the same time anyway

Well, keep in mind that a-nation is INCREDIBLY LONG. It's like going to see a regular concert times 2-3? That is likely why the ticket costs so much. You'll be in the theater for like 6 hours.

Yeah, that's correct. She wasn't really being a diva at all, but was really upset so she went second-to-last instead of last. A lot of fans were really surprised when Ayu came out before them that day. I remember reading all of her tweets and blog entries at the time and she said that she was really close to not even performing at all due to the treatment of her seniors/juniors. That TRF thing sounds like it's legit since 'seniors' could imply them being affected by a-nation.

From Misa-chan's blog:
Quote:
ayu_19980408: I initially wanted to just write on my blog and talk only with TA, but since even the Tohoshinki fans have gotten mixed up in this, I shall tweet instead. And because everyone just cannot calm down, I’ll explain what really happened. But please let this be the only time I need to talk about this issue.

ayu_19980408: Regarding the rumours about a-nation, it’s roughly what everyone has been speculating about. However, there’s one thing I need to clarify. I was the one who was protesting to the company about various things, and wanted to pull out of the 2 shows at Tokyo. That’s because I feel distrust towards a-nation itself.

ayu_19980408: As for the performance, I puzzled over it till the very last minute. Then, I remembered everyone in the audience who are waiting for me, as well as the comrades and staff and everyone in TA who are fighting with me, and decided to go on stage afterall.

ayu_19980408: Lastly. No matter what happens, Masa has always stayed by me and protected me, regardless of his own position as CEO.

ayu_19980408: Yes, I have left some parts out of this retelling. The reason for my distrust is because of the sudden strong resistance towards my setlist, as well as a lack of respect towards the existence of my respected seniors and my sweet juniors.
Keep in mind that for almost every a-nation performance that year, she performed last except the last two (or was it the last one?) in Tokyo. The part about the setlist likely refers to avex wanting her to change it from what it was with Why... feat. JUNO to something else.

So... I wonder if TRF will go last, and/or if Ayu and TRF will sing happening here together?

That would be awesome! I mean them singing together :-) TRF had too few songs in Osaka to close the show anyway :-)

I know Japanese prefer to hear the same songs over and over but I'd love her to keep July 1st but make the rest unique and add songs like + or at least I want to hear some songs from Party Queen .___.

^She most likelly will sing You & Me, something from Party queen (How beautiful you are, maybe, or re-use one of the tour performances) and the other 6 songs will be summer songs/fan favorites.

02: Hanabi, Voyage
03: ourselves, Greatful Days, Hanabi ~ episode II
04: Inspire, Game, Moments
05: STEP you, fairyland
06: Startin', BLUE BIRD
07: talkin' 2 myself, 1Love, until that day..., glitter, fated
08: Mirrorcle World
09: Rule, Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~
10: Microphone, blossom, MOON
11: Last Angel, Dream ON, ANother Song,

But now, thinking about it, I don't really get your comment, she sing something from her most recent album EVERY year on A-nation... If she don't do that this time, it will be a first.
