What’s your dream Ayu’s 25th anniversary celebration?

[LOONAppears]

Since we’re celebrating Ayu’s 24th anniversary since debut this year and her 25th will be next year it got me thinking. 25 years since the beginning of your mainstream career is such a huge milestone that surely it warrants something grand to go along with it. (Not like how The Sims 4 team celebrated the 20th anniversary of the franchise by adding one (1) hot tub to the game, something that was previously available via DLC.) So I’m asking you guys: what would be your dream celebration for Ayu’s 25th year anniversary? Obviously we know she’s probs gonna hold a concert or a tour so there’s no need to mention that, but I’m gonna list a couple of things that could be cute if she did. Feel free to pick out of any of these or add more because I do not know how to add polls to posts

- A Song for XX re-release: Something like a re-mastered version like she did for A Best and Loveppears or maybe even a re-recording of the album. She could include “Two of us” as a bonus track or release a box set that includes a Blu-ray with the remastered MVs and special editions of the singles released from the album that include alternate versions of the songs she has released throughout her career (kinda like what she did on the 4th disc of the Loveppears/Appears 20th anniversary album)

- Updated all-time best album: We all know that ayu loves herself a best album to release when she doesn’t feel like making new material, so I feel like it would be cute for her to do an updated A Complete type album that includes all her singles since 2008. I know this isn’t a super exciting idea considering the sheer amount of best albums Ayu has, but I think it could be a good way to bring attention to her newer material and if she re-records/remasters/rearranges some or all of the songs it could make it all the more worthwhile to purchase or stream to the album.

- New studio/mini-album: If ayu’s already releasing a new album in the Fall, I guess releasing a new original album less than a year later would be pretty hard… but not impossible. She’s done it before and I’m sure she’s capable of doing it again! Even if it is just a mini album, she could make one where she dedicates songs to the fans or revisits old genres and concepts in a new, modern way. This is the one that’s least possible in my opinion but I can only dream…

- First world tour/Promoting outside the East Asia sphere: I know that Ayu sticks to East Asia when touring and promoting her music because it’s a safe choice, people already know her and are guaranteed to go to her shows and buy her music. However, it’s not the only place Ayu fans exist and this forum is the biggest evidence of that. She already knows that because we’ve seen her do English interviews (most famously with CNN), she’s attended events in Europe and taken pictures with fans there, and her music has been used in popular media that is consumed around the globe. Obviously English isn’t the *only* language, but I feel like it’s so largely spoken that if Ayu started to follow Hikki’s footsteps and promote more or tour even if just in Anglophone countries, it would be a step in the right direction into knowing more and seeing other sides of her directly from her mouth. (also I wanna see her live super bad but if she’s not touring not even North America, can’t really expect her to touch Latin America or the Caribbean x_x)

I’m gonna end this right here cuz there’s sooo much more she could do and obviously I don’t mean her doing all of this at once cuz she’s just one person and even if she has a whole team behind her I can only imagine how taxing and exhausting it is to even do just one of these. But I do hope that she does something big for such a huge milestone in her career. Let’s just hope she doesn’t pull a Namie and retires on us because me and surely all of you would be really sad T-T

tl;dr: what should ayu do for her 25th anniversary?
