2020/10/23

The information that ayu herself talked about on AYU BLOG on the TeamAyu website has been revealed!

It's been decided that on December 24th, a special time and location limited in-person live performance will be held for TeamAyu members only at the Maihama Amphitheater, which will not be streamed!
*The audience will be limited to 50% of capacity.

This is a performance that has come to fruition due to ayu's strong desire to share with everyone in TeamAyu, after many discussions with many conflicting values, a sense of audience unity, the vibration in the air, the feeling of breathing that can only be felt by being "live" and "real" in the same space .

This will be a special night sent to you by ayu, the company, and the ayu tour crew including a special production and songs for Christmas Eve including a complete setlist.
By all means, attend this special performance and the memories of this moment in 2020 that can only be created there.
