There wouldn't be a point to having a different tour/theme if the setlists weren't going to be different.

She described it as "a very different chapter from the previous one" in her most recent TA entry...so, whatever that means.

I actually think the whole set list will be changed. Even though the arena performances were stripped down there are some things she won't be able to do in halls. If you think about it this isn't much different than the last couple of years when we had arena tours followed by TA limited lives...They just incorporated everything into a single tour and promoted everything together.

Sarcasm?

Since this chapter is gonna be a hall tour, I feel like she won't have too many air choreographies and do something smaller, like she did with TA Limited Live.

I think the whole setlist will be changed, she wouldn't divide them if not imo

But then it's ayu lol

I hope the encore changes too, besides the main setlist.

Let me see if I can dig up the article about the setlists.

第一章のその先へ――。

史上最長ツアーであり、初の3部作で構成されるJust the beginning20ツアー。
第二章は9月6日のパシフィコ横浜から新たなセットリストと演出でスタートします！
そして新たな公演会場も解禁になっているので自分の街を探してみて下さいませ～！！！

The 'second part" begins with a new setlist.

[holy_arrow]

There is the news that Yochan will leave the Ayu's band.
Does anyone have the clear information?

[truehappiness]

いよいよ夏の終わりの、味の素スタジアムでの大きなフェス「a-nation '17」の本番でございます。今回もヘッドライナーを務めた、あゆちゃんとの今年最後のステージであります 。
来月からは「just the beginning 20」の第２幕のツアーが始まるので、タイミングが合えば、どこか見に行っちゃおうかなぁ～(^^ ) あゆちゃんのデビューから、全部のツアーに参加してきた記録が、今日でストップであります。ここから５１本 のライブ、見に行く人は楽しんで下さいねぇ～♪
幸い過ごしやすい気候のライブ日和の今日は、本当に楽しんじゃったよ=(^.^)=みんなあり がとうね ♪

I think it's from this he posted about a-nation afterward.

It does seem like Yocchan is leaving though. Basically his record of performing with Ayu stops here.

[Aderianu]

what??? I knew this day will come, but I don't want Yochan to leave T__T

From this day on. Oh, that's sad.
But sounds he's leaving on good terms.

This is sad news. Though I guess it had to happen sooner or later.

[Uknow!]

I can't believe it

[truehappiness]

It's gonna be a bit strange when people don't see Yocchan but who will be the guitarist then? Will they not have one since it's a hall? Or did she prepare for this last year around a-nation when she posted about this quote?

My friend told me that If I can't be happy, there's no point in the money and the success and the fame.
幸せを選べないんなら、どんな成功も名誉も財産も、なんの意味もないって。

[melissalove]

Not supprised at all, these days it seems like everyone's leaving the team. Sad.

[kendelle]

That's sudden, I can't imagine Ayu without Yocchan. PECO and Enrique were shocks as well as some of the dancers (although more expected due to the physical nature of the job) but Yocchan is such a public-facing aspect of her show. I wonder if he'll be replaced or if they'll just not use heavy lead guitar songs for the tour...what a short timeframe though...

[truehappiness]

For some of the dancers, their leaves were temporary. Shuya left and came back then left again, haha. Basically they always can come back if they wish, but like... for GO-MI, he completely went to a different career path.

I think Yocchan's departure was probably discussed a while back but there was no reason to really announce it. Fans who go to sacrifice will wonder where he is if they have a band present without him there for sure.

[KittyKathy]

I thought that he will stay with her until the end. So sad...
