[Info] Max Matsuura's Documentary On Asahi TV featuring Ayumi Hamasaki And Other Avex Artists

On 9th January 2010, Asahi TV will be airing a Documentary Video of Max Matsuura's as one of the avex trax famous producers who has invented great artists like Ayumi Hamasaki, TRF, Every Little Thing, GIRL NEXT DOOR, Maki Goto and etc.

I think that it will show a short footage/video about the interaction between the artists and Max Matsuura during some occasions, I'm not sure though, since this documentary should be mainly about Max Matsuura.

[Video] Miray - Jump Pump PV has the same site as Ayu's Sunrise/Sunset ~ LOVE is ALL ~ PVs

Thanks, Ayufan for showing me the link of this!
I'm not sure this Jump Pump PV is made before Ayu's Sunrise/Sunset PVs, but i guess it is, well, they used the same site, the beach side structure at Futtsu, Chiba and this singer, Miray is actually under avex trax as well.

I'm not going to say that this girl copied Ayu though since that beach side strutcture is not belong to anyone, so yeah~

The PV looks so much fun though, i kinda think it's much better than Ayu's Sunrise? haha because maybe the singer dances on this song, if Ayu did dance too, i would really love Sunrise PV~

[Fanaccount] a-nation 2009 23.08.09 by MissElin_ at AHS

I'm going to share the fanaccount of the member in AHS, MissElin_ at the a-nation 2009 23.08.09

Hi Guys!

Just got back home from a-nation this day!
I must say! This was a really great day! I had so much fun!
BoA was stunning as always, makin' all those dance steps amazingly.
Koda Kumi actually supriced me and was much better then I ever thought. (Never seen her live before). And I got soooo happy when she played Ningyo Hime. It was awesome!
TRF was great for the audience making us dance and sing along all the time with their catchy songs. Tohoshinki isnt my cup of tea really but I laughted the whole time cuz their fans are MAD! Crazy I tell you! I thought all of them would faint like 50 times. Lol. I actually think that Tohoshinki had most fans in the arena, there where these green dots (green is Toho's theme on their goods this yeah) like EVERYWHERE!
The scene was really colourful and had 5 screens in total. 2 big for the cameras and 3 long but thin screens that was in the upper frame. Those 3 othen hade diffrent themes for diffrent songs.
Also a funny thing that I remember. Sometimes in the pauses they filmed the audience and one time there was this guy who first got so supriced that he was showed on the big screen that he jumped in his seat once. Then he started to twich in his whole body and suddenly he's head fell back and he played dead. It was really funny for a change since the others just did the cheering and peace with their fingers. Also in the pauces the Weider ailien appeared on the stage doing this little silly dance. The there was this secret artist. It was SOOO great! But I'm so sorry, I ALWAYS forget the name of these guys but its three men, dressed as american (kind of) women singing these really catchy songs. They are all over japan right now and TV-shows and such. Anyway, when they was announced everyone SCREAMED of happiness! You all should have seen it. It was great! ^^ Anyway... I shall not bore you anymore...

Let's go to Ayu. She was stunning! She (as what I think) sang all the songs and it sounded really really well! Rule and A Song for XX was simply perfection. And yes Sunset for that matter to!
Befor the real start her intro video was the "Ayu a a a Ayu, Ayu ready" song and with her A movin around with the a-nation bear and the weider ailien. Also two A's was forming Enrique and Yo-chan playing on a stage and their guitarr/base fliped over several times with writings on them and such. Then the notes sad that it was time. It got dark.

First there was a japanese ninja themed start with the male dancers doing these ninja moves that they does in the PV. Then suddenly She appeared! She started of with Rule, doing that acapella thingy that we have seen from the tour clips. The 3 upper screens was showing all diffrent thing depending where in the song you where but there was powerful movement in the cours and falling sakura leaves in the brigde for example. She was on a upper stage and during the song the upper stage went down and she entered the catwalk. She did the "Rule lift" backwards, like flying from the catwalk back to the big stage with her back facing the direction she went to. After Rule they did a pretty good job to make it fit with A Song for XX so the song started really rockish. She sang this song just like last year, but withour the heavy rain.

After this you saw the dansers in blue-white light costumes (kind of the ones they had on the sunset TV performance for the girls) that was doing this light and airy dance. It was soooo beautiful! Then BLUE BIRD started. Ayu had her blur dress and sang the song really well and she just stod there but the energy inte the audience was really amazing!

After BLUE BIRD Ayu spoke some few words, introducing the new song "Sunset" and then it started to play. Like said before, she sang it perfectly! It was so great. Made me really teary-eyed! After the song the light went dark and then they came back on the seccond later she had her white dress. They took the blue one of very quickly! Then she sang TO BE, here she was a bit strained in the voice in the end of the chourses and kind of yelled but it didnt sound to bad actually. Just a bit out of breath. ^^ Otherice it was a pretty beautiful performance. Here did also Shu-ya dance around Ayu and both of them where reaching to each other but they didnt get to like always... In the end of the song Shu-ya found Ayu and stod by her back with his arms lighty around her but then she sank down in the floor, out from his arms. Then he did this sad grin danced some few sad steps and then danced away.

After this it was encore time and Ayu came out from the side in a very cute boat! ^^ She, Shy-ya and one more (I didnt catch but I thought it was Zin) stood in the front of the boat the the other dancers where below the top and a bit back from Ayu's spot. They sang Boys & Girls and she didnt shot but she actually sang thank god heavens. In this section all of the fans (including me) where runing from our spots to the sides so we could se her from close. It was amazing I tell you! ^^ She was so happy!

After B&G you could here the intro for Sunrise and Ayu got this secretly mona-lisa smile on her face and started to tell the audience to take up their towels and then she took up a green Tohoshinki towel by herself and she started to laught. The Ayu part of the audience laughted with her and screamed about how cute she was. The Tohoshinki part of the audience made these girly screams and took up their towels right away! Then she sang Sunrise (really good) and the energy on the audience was amazing! Everyone did the towel dance! It was really the best time of all!!!

After Sunrise it was time for July 1:st. It was just as epic as I had imagined! In the middle she introduced the band as always and then herself and in the last chours confetti was shot all over the arena! So pretty! Then she thankes the audience just like she use to do and just when she said "arigatou gozaimashita" fireworks was shot on the other side of the arena then where the scene is placed. There where ALOT of fireworks. Probably for 5-10 minutes. I thought it just would be lite 5 shots in total or something. Lol.

Yeah also, I ate the ice-creams. They where DELICIOUS really! Jum jum jum! ^^



Goods to the people!



Ice-cream!



Delicious I tell you!



Happy me with goods(t-shirt, towel, fan + key-ring) and ice-cream!
