[Info] 09.09.2010 a-nation 2010 To Be Broadcasted On WOWOW TV!

Starting off with the performance at Ehime, then Aichi, Osaka and finally Tokyo, the outdoor festival was held at four cities over six performances. We’ll exclusively air performances held on the 28th and 28th of August at the Ajinomoto Stadium.

Since its first round in 2002, “a-nation” has brought in over 200,000 fans each year, totaling over 2,500,000 people over these eight years. At this live event, with just one ticket, can bring you live performances from a grandeur variety of artists. Over the years, it has evolved to become one of Summer’s places to be.

Talking about the charms of “a-nation”, it inarguably is the dream performance of a grandeur variety of artists. With different artists at each performance, the extravagant list of artists for 2010 has been announced. Also, “a-nation” has another charm point, it is the nation’s only outdoor festival with a circuit layout. With the passionate thoughts of “I want to express my thanks to listeners within Japan”, “Even if it’s only another one more person, I want them to feel the life and excitement of a live performance”, “a-nation” was born, and being held on a larger scale, now it runs as a circuit layout.

More under the cut!

Right now, as the best live with numerous artists, the best performances, and a chance to experience the best entertainment, it deepens the chances to meet with new artists and communicate with fellow fans. Really, you can say that there’s a sense of unity, only to belonging to “a-nation”.

In 2010, “a-nation” was held in four cities, over six performances, starting on the 7th of August as Ehime, the 14th at Nagoya, two days, the 21st and 22nd at Osaka, and finally the final performances on the 28th and 29th of August at Tokyo.

At the Ajinomoto Stadium performance, TRF, Every Little Thing, Hamasaki Ayumi, Do As Infinity, Koda Kumi, Otsuka Ai, Suzuki Ami, AAA, GIRL NEXT DOOR, ICONIQ and such artists were set to perform. Really, it’s no exaggeration to say that enjoying a performance with this grandeur of artists is not possible elsewhere. Watch the history’s best outdoor festival “a-nation”, 2010s Summer will never end!

[Fanaccount] 29.08.2010 Non-Ayu Fans' Fanaccounts About Ayu At a-nation 2010!

It's always nice to hear positive responses from non-Ayu fans who attended a-nation 2010 and enjoyed her live performances :)

[Fanaccount] 100830 a-nation Tokyo, Aug 29

(Parts not related to Ayu omitted)

ayu, the queen of avex, was the last to perform. I again heard “Blossom”, and thought that the lyrics perfectly fits the current situation. “Datte bokuraha aruki hajimeta. Sokoni riyuu nante hitsuyou janai. Tadatada daijoubu. Mou daijoubu. Soredakeha tashikani wakatta kara” (T/N: We just started to walk the road, we do not need a reason for it. We are all right, all right now. We just know that we are all right.”

More under the cut!


ayu always parades around the whole stadium on a float for her last song. Wearing a cute Yukata (T/N: Japanese traditional clothes for summer), she held in her hand the orange Uchiwa (T/N: fan) of JJY. She waved the orange Uchiwa throughout her ride, which took about 10 minutes to go around the vast stadium.
I recalled ayu’s performance last year, waving the green Tohoshinki a-nation towel in her hands during her ride on the float.
ayu, the queen of avex supports our boys… oh, I was in tears here.

[Fanaccount] 100829 A-nation'10 In Tokyo - Account From English-speaking Fan

ayu - as suspected, she got the longest set of all being one hour long and even though it was my first time seeing her live, it was like being at TD when i watched some of her dome performances back in the day ♥ she's adorable and we all know she's j-pop's diva but her charm overrides that factor when it comes to the fans. she sang a couple of oldies like boys & girls, greatful days, a song about xx AND evolution (WHERE SHE WAVES JYJ'S UCHIWA AGAIN ♥♥). other songs were great too (don't remember the title) but she did preview her new song, crossroads, which will be released next month and i'm thinking of purchasing it :')

※ First limited edition will also comes with an original calendar

*even though I'm so happy that all of Ayu's performances last year are included in the a-nation 2009 BEST HIT LIVE DVD but still, I think it's very unfair to other artists who only have 1-2 performances included. So I hope that for this year, avex will think about what other artists' fans might feel and I don't want Ayu's the one to be blamed in here, because it's absolutely not HER FAULT. Everyone coming to see their artists they like to perform and They also want their artists to have their best performances to be included in the DVD as a documentary*
