Ayu completed her special 25th Anniversary Live this evening. The concert was notoriously difficult to get tickets for even for the fanclub, and was streamed live on ABEMA TV with the promise of a "first and last big announcement." Some fans--myself included--suspected retirement, but this was thankfully not the case.

The 25th Anniversary Live was only her third large-scale arena show since COVID and the first to feature the return of a backing band along with her expanded choir and "a strings" strings section. While not all of the same members were back, guitarist Yoshio "Yo-chan" Nomura, who toured with Ayu for nearly 20 years, made a surprise appearance during the encore. It was also her first performance since 2017 where she participated in some of the more acrobatic stunts. This seemed to signal a full return to her pre-COVID spectacle arena shows, though it wasn't without its intimacy, as some TeamAyu members were invited on stage for one song (including one of its youngest members, who Ayu bounced for the remainder of the song)

At the close of the show, Ayu made two announcements via video screen:

both CDL 2022-2023 and the 25th Anniversary Live would release on DVD and Blu-ray July 1st. Pre-orders have begun.

She would be embarking on one of her most ambitious tours yet for 2023-2024, hitting all 47 prefectures in Japan

🎶✨️when you get this, put 5 songs you actually listen to, then publish. Send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (negotiable, but positivity is cool)🎶✨️

I love sharing what I listen to, so thanks for this ask, Anon! (Sorry it took me this long to answer though.)

So. Five songs, uh?

All that glitter - Kim Jeajoong

Prends mon bouquet - Bourvil

Milk - F(x)

Spellbound - TVXQ!

Heartplace - Ayumi Hamasaki

Once again, I tried to vary the genre. I even put a French song by a comedian and actor; I actually sing this song quite often and my boyfriend is always rolling his eyes when he hears me hum it. I'm never sorry about that though- this song is a masterpiece of flowery puns, how could I not love it?

[shakentwice]

trails of carnage wasting space in my heart

my head

my hands

woe to the lines etched into my form

mistaking my scars for a map,

impeneratrable from the north or the south

walls forced up in anticipation for things that would disapoint me

disrespect me,

disreguard the light quietly raging in me

that requires too much of you

and not enough of you

woe to the space wasted on thoughts of things that dont belong

my space is my own and my heart is my home

never again will I fill myself with anything less

than the love that God has for his daughter

nothing less

浜崎あゆみ / Heartplace (COUNTDOWN LIVE 2002-2003 A)

"Seeking freedom, we got hurt And committed some sins too Oh, my lovable comrades We were so awkward and immature

Should we call children ‘adults’ Just because they’ve gotten older When they still can’t seem to get their lives together?...”

.Ho bisogno di cose antiche. Scrivimi una lettera su un foglio di carta, chiamami da una cabina telefonica, citofonami sotto casa e sali da me ad ascoltare un disco di vinile, dimmi “io per te ci sono”, e quando avrò bisogno di te ci sarai veramente. . .I need ancient things. Write me a letter on a sheet of paper, call me from a phone booth, call me downstairs and go up to my house to listen to a vinyl record, tell me "I'm here for you", and when I need you you will really be there.
