Legendary songstress Ayumi Hamasaki makes a dazzling return after 16 years, once again performing in China, embarking on a musical journey through the ages. The Ningbo station was announced on December 7th. For many, the first Japanese song they remember is Ayumi Hamasaki’s ‘Dearest,’ the ending theme of ‘Inuyasha.’ Her song ‘My All’ has rescued countless people from worry and chaos. Ayu infuses herself into her songs, with a narrative style that embodies her ‘Ayumi Hamasaki-esque’ storytelling, allowing her dazzling and resolute personal charm to influence generation after generation. She uses her own experiences to tell her fans that by continuously trying, one can always live the life they want. Those dreams, though not necessarily perfect, shine brightly.
From the album ‘I am…’ to the Asia Tour theme ‘I am ayu,’ Ayu revolutionizes self-expression and firmly returns with ‘I am ayu.’ Throughout her career, ‘breaking through’ has always been present in every stage of ayu’s performances. This time, at her concert in China, she presents a different side of herself for those who haven’t seen her in a long time. At the first stop in Shanghai, technology and aesthetics collide, creating an extreme integration of sound, light, and electricity on a four-sided stage design. Her dynamic and ever-changing stage costumes, along with Ayu’s performance of several newly arranged hits, breathe new life into every familiar song. The Chinese elements Ayu prepared for this Asia Tour stage also made a surprise appearance, with dragon and lion dances, acrobatic dancers, newly arranged Chinese-style songs, a stunning hundred-meter wedding dress, and a Chinese version of ‘MY ALL.’ The value of reunion is imprinted in every detail of the stage and also in the cheers and choruses of ‘THEM.’ Memories are reconstructed, and we reunite. ‘Before the day of reunion comes, please keep smiling and wait.’ The event is open from 12/7, Saturday, 19:00-21:00.
