Summer TA Party 2021

[Aderianu]

◆TeamAyu members only ”Summer TA Party 2021” will be held on 23rd August 2021!◆

"Summer", "ayu"-.
What do these keywords remind you of?
​
"Greatful days" and "You & Me", with smiles glittering in the scorching sun...
"HANABI" and "monochrome", with painful sadness...
"fairyland" echoing in the clear blue sky...
Fireworks in the night sky and "July 1st"...

Yes, no matter which summer you look back on, you will find ayu's songs there.

August, 2021. Even in this age where everything has changed, the short, hot summer still comes.

In order to create unforgettable summer memories with TA, ayu will produce a one-night-only party.

A special time shared only at that moment, at that place.

'Someday, we hope you will remember this summer with the voice of ayu...'

When I saw the logo, I read A Summer TA Panty 2021 at first.....

[gustavismo]

That's a very nice logo, shame we won't be able to watch it through a stream this time

And I was thinking these days that it would be nice if she explored the concept of seasons on her tours since her catalogue is HUGE! I'd love to see a tour divided into four chapters, one for each season and focusing on specific genres. At least we got a "Winter" concert with her Xmas Live and now we get a "Summer" one with this TA Party!

It would be cool to see that on a larger scale—I think the segments dedicated to specific seasons worked really well in AT16 but would love to see her take it a step further

Yes, AT16 had a really nice concept and it worked so well, I really need to get back to that concert more often! After all the legs of TROUBLE TOUR, I'd love to see her do something with a stronger concept next, she used to be so good with that

You mean like AT16?

I meant going further turning the concept of each season segment into a full setlist, that's why I mentioned Xmas Live and this Summer Party

[junshen]

There will be no camera for this show.
So no boardcast for this show also.

Upcoming Tour outside Tokyo will be announce soon.

[Aderianu]

I'm kinda glad ayu saves our money and doesn't sell online tickets

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Goods are cute. I’ll probably get the pink tshirt and the towel.

[Xianghua]

I have wanted Ayu to sell masks for 5000 years

I read it as "for 5000 yen" and was like whaaat!?

[Xianghua]

LOL oh god

[summerain]

Covid-19 situation is really going out of control in Japan (it's kinda ironic saying that being a brazilian LOL), I hope she is considering to cancel it.

[Minttulatte]

If she ends up cancelling this party, maybe she could do it without an audience/through livestream like she did lives last year? She did those well like a true queen. I honestly forgot there was no audience present when I was watching clips from them.

Well, if I understood well, they didn't intend to record this show in any form, so they would arrange it in last minute, like Xmas Showcase.

Let's wait and see.

I agree. Would be sweet to have it livestreamed free of charge on YouTube like the Xmas Showcase was because that was a super fun thing to do for the fans.

But yeah, it's hard to predict what Ayu's gonna do and that’s one of the many things I love about her.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Speaking as someone who lives in Tokyo, this should be cancelled. I want her to cancel it.

[~angel*ayumi~]

If no official order will be there or other artists cancel their concerts too I think she won´t because this will sure make her the bad person in the eyes of the japanese public. (as I guess many believe the japanese gov that everything is ok)

[summerain]

Is it today, right?
