a-nation 08 and the Ayu Museum

Monday, September 1st, 2008

As Avex’s sum­mer con­cert series draws to a close, its biggest stars came out to steal the show. Ayu’s set included an enthu­si­as­tic per­for­mance of “AUDIENCE” in the crowd.

• Sanspo: あゆ、雨中の熱唱！ａ−ｎａｔｉｏｎ’０８

The Ayu Museum has actu­ally been online for awhile but I’ve been reluc­tant to talk about it because it both had crip­pling usabil­ity issues and didn’t appear to be updated. How­ever, the Ayu Dig­i­tal Museum — while still stalling at times — has been updated to fea­ture all of her music videos, com­mer­cials, and behind the scenes footage. Now vir­tu­ally every video or music record­ing Ayu has graced can be streamed from ayu10th.com (…when it loads).
