[TeamAyu2004]

^ heartplace would be amazing... and the A ballad version of A Song of XX would be epic.

[Delicious n Bold]

When was the last time Ayu perfomed ASfXX?
I don't even know XD

[ayuuk]

Heartplace
decision
A song for xx

Wanna go...

[AyuWorld]

great to see Ayu is involved in this event for the first time! guess this is the special one since it is their 15th anniversary.

and YES. Ayu got a rock influence and look at her badass look when she performs ASfXX, Decision, Talkin' 2 Myself, About You, Because of You and many more!

please anyone else wants her to perform Guilty and Criminal?? >.<

[ayuuk]

^Kinda wonder what GUILTY would be like...

[AyuWorld]

^you mean? i can imagine GUILTY would be a fierce ,emotional and deep performance along with Criminal

Last year, Power of Music.

[TeamAyu2004]

^ yep, I almost forgot about that...

[Delicious n Bold]

Did she? Dang
I really paid NO attention to Power of Music then.

[AyuWorld]

^ it is in the additional performance in the DVD not in the main setlist

[roanmy]

Is this the kind of thing where I can arrive late and still see Ayu well? :-P

[inspire_rmx]

hoping for a new rock song!!

[XFER]

So cool! She needs to perform songs like reminds me or Is this LOVE?

I hope she really does rock songs, not ballads. This is a chance for her to gain a new audience, which means more possible buyers. Can't wait to see what songs will she sing

TK is not a part of T.M.Revolution. He was a part of a TM Network.

Ayu is set to be the closing performer (well, before Kishidan, haha) at the Kishidan Banpaku 2012 (a rock and roll festival held by the group Kishidan, you may know of them from their very interesting hair)! This is her first performance at this event.

Ticket prices + other info
[spoiler]■Tickets
1 day 10,000円
2 days 19,000円
^--tickets are crazy expensive for this concert! Though considering how many artists are here and performing for like at least an hour+... it may not be that bad.

I don't think they really are considering how many artists are there. They are only 1500 yen more expensive than the regular AT tickets.

I am glad Ayu's performing; hoping for some A-rock! Opening with alterna or GAME would be awesome!

[Aderianu]

she will perform at leastfor hour? he can sing many good songs =) and I hope Rock!

can we see it on tv?

[truehappiness]

Yeah, seems like an hour and 10 minutes is average?

[Aderianu]

I see leopard print on goods xD

[Yoake]

So cool! I hope she'll perform her new ToXII song + her rock songs as t2m, GAME or Because of you!

[ExodusUK]

Stage time is probably a hour with 10 minutes in between for setting up the band between slots.

I mean, what is an example of a purely "ROCK" group/singer? Do you have to be in a group to be considered "rock" ? Food for thought. Many of Ayu's rock/rockish songs you would never hear your average pop artist sing, so just because she is by definition a "pop star" means that anything she puts out is considered pop?

Ugh, I think they meant songs like (d)lma versus something like talkin' 2 myself, where one has rock influences but can still be played commercially and is alot "easier" on the ears than the other type. Other songs that can be classed as pop rock would be About You, Until that day... does that make sense, when you'd compare it to heavier songs like Microphone and such?
I think alot of Ayu's music does lie in the middle, though. She definitely has rok music in her though. I sometimes wish she were part of a band because she CLEARLY is into it and loves it.

That person wasn't discrediting Ayu or anything, so you can take a chill pill.

AHS is seriously overdramatic.
