| Sorry to post kind of last minute, but Avex is streaming the final POWER of MUSIC show from Saitama Arena on USTREAM for overseas fans! The stream goes online at 18:30 (in less than an hour). Tickets are 2,000 JPY and can be purchased anytime between now and the end of the show. ayumi hamasaki POWER of MUSIC 2011 A on USTREAMThe official twitter hashtag for the event is "#ayulive." For CDL 2010-2011's USTREAM event, the first three songs were free. I'm not sure if they'll be doing the same thing for this show. x-posted | |

| Sorry for the double post; Ayu announced earlier this morning that her official Facebook page would be open tomorrow. It's just about 1:30 AM in Tokyo, and her Facebook page is now accessible: https://www.facebook.com/ayu.official Not all of the features are up, but you will be able access preliminary content by "Like"-ing the page. For reference, here's a list of all of the networks Ayu is currently a part of. I believe Twitter and Weibo are the only ones she personally updates. x-posted | |

| The newest story trailer for Tales of Xillia is now online, and it features our first preview of Ayu's song for the game, "progress." (it was previously rumored to be titled "Making Fate;" that was a load of crap). ( video after the cut )I'm super excited for this single. The game is scheduled for release September 8th, so we can probably expect a single around the same time. x-posted | |

| Due to the earthquake and subsequent tsunami, many March releases for Avex artists--including Ayu--have been delayed. This includes ayu-mi-x 7 and both the Rock'n'Roll Circus tour and 50 Singles ~LIVE SELECTION~ DVD releases. All three were scheduled for March 30th; a new date has yet to be announced. One thing Ayu will be selling this month is a special collaborative t-shirt with ViVi. The shirt will sell for 1500 yen (around $20) and all proceeds will be donated to earthquake victims in Japan. Mu-Mo has already added a pre-order link for international fans. The shirts will go on sale tomorrow, so be ready with your third-party tenso.com account if you plan on ordering! Alternately (or additionally!), you can donate directly to your charity of choice. See Google's Crisis Response page or Yesasia's comprehensive list of charities for more information. x-posted in part to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1) lalaloveppears, _ayumihamasaki, and Ayu-Vogue Network.
