Yeah I'd really like two tours too. And maybe some of the profit can go to charity?

Oh man! She should totally extend the tour into the fall and winter. and then have like the GRAND final be the countdown..
Epic.

I'm not sure if I agree with that, especially when anything could come at any time, and really here in the world it can be completely unpredictable...

craap. i hope those cancelled dates will be replaced soon

so sorry they cancelled all the first dates..

I think it's sad that they had to cancel the first dates, but I am very surprised and touched by their / her decision to change everything about the tour.. Music always gives me a lot of hope and strenght, I hope for all the people in Japan it will work the same way. Do you think she will have a smaller stage than normal? I mean, normally she has this big stage, effects and much costume changes. But if this tour will be mainly about hope and comforting people, I think maybe it will look different? Plus, they might still have this electricity problem.
2 tours would be a lot of work to do, but if she could really manage to do it, it'd be so great if she could give some part of the money she earns with it to the victims.

She's doing the right thing.

I'm liking that she's changing the theme of the tour. Even more honoured that I'll hopefully get to watch it in July!

I still think that Ayu should have an outside tour. For me it's like... Japan it's known for it's nature, you know? For me, outside would make more sense.

And knowing Ayu, she'd give out money (the tour makes) to charity.

I think Sandy means an outdoors tour, not and oversea one

Is it confirmed she's changing it?

^ She was tweeting something about changing, but I havent seen the tweets where she is talking about the tour...

I hope she does the original theme this year as well though... Like have one massive show at the dome, maybe?

Is not because avex, is because some useless media who want to detract the reality.

I think the new title will probably have "HOPE" in it since her charity t-shirts say "HOPE for JAPAN"

^ I agree that this is a bad situation, but put yourself in the shoes of avex management. Of course they would rather have ayu do the tour as planned, this is the way the company earns money. But in the last two weeks there were new news about earthquakes and Fukushima nuclear plant coming nearly every 4 hours. Everything was uncertain, and that was not avex' fault, nobody knew what would happen next.

But make the annotation that Ayu's concerts were not the single event to take place in Saitama arena.
Do you think that someone will dare to push those people away in their situation? I wonder who came with this ~brilliant~ idea at first, the victims will stay in there the time the goverment says to be required, and not, is not three days.

And for the people from overseas who is already in Japan is a shame, but they might see the situation, Saitama is close to the affected area.

A whole new concert? Wow this is very interesting!!

I am very curious to see what happens. This is the first Ayu concert I am getting to go to (it's my graduation present) I will be at the June 4 show.

It would be so very cool if she wrote a new song for the efforts! Like A Song is Born. I hope that no more dates get cancelled ... I would be heartbroken if I wasn't able to see her this year. I worry she could stop touring at any time now.

Also, I agree that having HOPE in the the tour name would be really good.
