which may mean an announcement in early april

which coincides just after the release of ABEST-15-

which means people will pay attention to it since there is some ABEST-15- promo going on and she will be in the news

which may be a good marketing strategy hahah

sidenote:
i had this imagination that she may shape the tour using the four elements in Moments (the flower, wind, bird and moon) as the elements of Japan. I feel that those really capture some essence of traditional Japanese culture and it would be really beautiful.

Wind = fast songs (Fly High, evolution)
Flower = vogue, GREEN, Ivy,
Bird = (no idea LOL)
Moon = MOON and other sad ballads

^ Holy shit this is brilliant

Actually I've been doing a bunch of studying on Ayu's Secret Live, and the issues started during THAT show. She was getting over a cold & ear infection the day of the show.

Then in Concert Tour 2000, she got a cold during rehearsals for act 2 and some shows had to be delayed while she recovered, and guess what? She was having trouble with her ear. I actually remember that from news reports that fan sites were sharing at the time. I thought for ages that THAT was when it started, but nope. Secret Live. Pretty crazy how far back the issue goes.

It's sad that she had to go through this. She's really gone through some difficult stuff during her career.

[truehappiness]

I always thought it was scary how she went from concert tour 2000 as her first baby tour to DOME TOUR 2001 immediately after.

Well, she earned millions through her career. It's not like she is a poor little girl now. For that money, I would do the same anytime.

Oh, I didn't know it started on the Secret Live! I thought it was around 2000 concerts... But then again, there's so little information about the Secret Live it's no wonder it's not well known

[Delirium-Zer0]

Yup x_X Even having been a fan as long as i have, I had no idea until recently.

Stupid Secret Live has to go and still be so secret after 17 years!!! XD

[ayu-michan]

^ I read your page about this live, oh gosh how did you even manage to find all these info!! Thank you!!!! I've never seen those photos before of her, it was great to discover something of young ayu

[Aderianu]

I didn't know that! Thought it started at Concert tour 2000
That's the very beginning of her career, no wonder she wanted to leave it

[truehappiness]

Secret Live in Akasaka -> concert tour 2000 -> DOME TOUR 2001 was the beginning of it all.

So sad, really. Her career was just blossoming (super quickly) and by then she was already having to deal with these issues.

I suppose that would make it worth it, but the anxieties it must have caused her I would imagine were quite powerful.

The image Ayu recently posted on FB with her 18th anni cake...there is a 'MADE IN JAPAN' poster on it? I wonder if this may be the official font/image?

The official logo is allready out since ages, you can see it on the 1st post.

[Meat Pao]

What's on the cake actually looks so much better than what we actually got lmao

[Aderianu]

Maybe that photo will be printed on goods? I would like that
