Ayu’s official site made back-to-back updates announcing three new releases. Ayu’s first international tour, 2007 A ~Tour of Secret~ is finally coming to DVD March 12th! It’ll be packaged with a new documentary about this milestone concert tour.
The next two are part of a collection: the sixth ayu-mi-x. Nearly five years after the release of the last ayu-mix, ayu-mi-x 6 is finally set to be released March 26. ayu-mi-x 6 will be available in two formats: gold and silver, each with a different tracklisting. Unlike many of the past ayu-mi-x collections, both versions have dance mixes.

Ayu recently wrapped up her Asia tour in her home town of Fukuoka, but she’s already back in Hong Kong to film a the PV for “glitter”, the new a-side off of her upcoming glitter/fated CD-single.
Much like 2002’s “Voyage”, this PV will actually be a 15 minute film. However, it is unknown whether it will be distributed as an independent short (as was done with the full version of the “Voyage” PV Tsuki ni Shizumu) or if it will simply be included on the DVD as “glitter”.
The film co-stars Hong Kong heartthrob Shawn Yue and will feature the first ever on-screen kiss in an Ayu PV, over which fans are already in a tizzy. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.

Avex has added Ayu’s upcoming single glitter/fated to the mu-mo shop, signifying that it’s now available for pre-order pretty much everywhere.
In addition to the use of “glitter” to promote Kiwi, “fated” will be featured in the film 「怪談」 (kaidan; ghost story). The film’s official site has updated with a new trailer featuring the song (last I checked, Windows Media Player links weren’t working, but Quicktime was functional).
Ayu’s official website has been updated frequently over the last week, mostly with new links. The official a-nation ‘07 site is now live with a complete list of artist appearances. Ayu’s schedule is as follows:
8/12(日) 静岡公演 (Shizuoka performance)
8/18(土) 神戸公演 (Kobe performance)
8/19(日) 神戸公演 (Kobe performance)
8/25(土) 東京公演 (Tokyo performance)
8/26(日) 東京公演 (Tokyo performance)
In addition, the English site has finally been updated with a mirror of ABEST2.com.
Perhaps the most exciting new link is that of the official 「浜崎あゆみにこれ聞きたーい!」 (Hamasaki Ayumi ni kore kikitai!; I want to ask Ayumi Hamasaki!) form. Since the MY STORY tour, Ayu and her guitarist have made answering fan questions an encore staple–usually with hilarious results. The Secret tour is now taking questions at this form.
