Apparently she use 4 days this year to build
the stage instead 2 days as usual. Something might be different this
Year

Can we take a second to appreciate how amazing it is that we're having a thread about Countdown Live going into 2017? That seemed like a lifetime ago when I first became a fan and I'm sure many counted out Ayu way before 2017. Though for me the sheer amount of CDL and tours are starting to blur into one and I struggle to remember and tell them apart after following for Ayu nearly 15 years now.

I'm not sure what to think of all this.
So much isn't known still. It does appear to be anniversary related but I would second that it is a bit premature. I mean I have been hoping that she will do something grand for the 20th but not drag it out through 2017 and 2018. Maybe she wants to start it at the new year and go until her day of debut 20 years ago exactly?
As for the theme, I would still like a more simple Countdown with a focus on performance and not spectacle and sexy outfits. But I am pretty open to ideas, it's whatever she wants really. As long as there is no more CIRCUS. Or clowns.

I have been thinking this too. The amount of tours are really adding up.
Sometimes I have to look up certain performances to remember them. There are so many now.
It is impressive for an artist that is considered by many to have little talent.

Hi guys, do you think it's possible to buy the AT 2015 team ayu version at Yoyogi? I pre-ordered the concert on mumo but I'll be in Japan at the end of the year so... Maybe I'll save more money.

Huh... it was sold out...

Anyone who got the ticket on 31st Dec? I have entered the lottery for that date and still not get any email. Does this mean I don't get the ticket? Do they inform us in case we are not selected? Thanks

Same boat as you, I think its a NO for the 31st if you haven't received a email by now,

I won for the 30th but upon looking at things, $$$wise, airfare, hotels (lack of availibility..) just cant afford to go. damn shame.... on me for being so poor!

^ I'm not sure if they have a CD/DVD selling booth... Just goodies.

Normally they have.

But I don't expect much from CDL this year with this preparation.

CDL rarely has elaborate performances or grand outfits. We will probably get some lingerie costumes and maybe a retooled acrobat performance from Ayu. Maybe she's been doing some stuff in secret?

OK, I just contact iFLYER and here is their answer:

"That is correct. iFLYER will only send an email when you win the lottery, however you can check your status at anytime from your tickets section in iFLYER or by simply clicking on the orginal registration link (just make sure you are logged in when you check!).

There were a record number of fans signing up for the 12/31 show and only a hanful of people were selected to win this time."

Then I checked myFLYER page > Tickets section. My lottery application for 31st Dec marked as "SORRY, NOT SELECTED". T_T

I also contact TeamAyu about lottery result. Here is the answer:

"Thank you for your email.
Unfortunately we don't have any detailed information regarding result announcement notification emails of ayumi hamasaki COUNTDOWN LIVE 2016-2017 A(logo)『Just the beginning -20-』.
Please contact iFLYER regarding this matter.
If you have further questions regarding TeamAyu 2nd ticket reservation, also please contact iFLYER.

Once again, thank you very much for your continued support for both Ayumi Hamasaki and OFFICIAL GLOBAL FANCLUB"TeamAyu"."

That means any questions about lottery application should be sent to iFLYER. You can contact them via this link: http://admin.iflyer.tv/apex/support/?cid=5 ). They replied quite fast.

So now I have already entered the 2nd lottery for 31st Dec. Wish me luck ^^;;

Somehow I doubt that. If that was the case, second round wouldn't feature this date like it was all recent years. Other theory is that many fans haven't paid for won tickets.
Anyway I think not getting to go on 31st is not a big deal since it's going to be broadcast. Getting tickets for 29 and 30 is always easy.

Does someone knows what is this about?? (sorry I wasn't sure where to post this lol)

Thanks! I was thinking it was something like that but I wasn't really sure, thanks a lot

[AussieNicki]

I won 29th and 30th didnt get 31st :,( so heartbroken looking at my airfair from australia i dont know if i will attend now but she is doing a second lottery ?? Whyyy why a second lottery if people missed out in the 31st on the first lottery why are they doing a second?

[mosaicbuster]

I applied for the 31st also but haven't received an email. It's a little confusing because there is a second lottery.. I'm not sure if I should enter again?! I noticed the announcement period for the first lottery is until November 30th, but why open a second lottery before the first one is fully announced? Confused @.@
