So, was checking out the related to Ayu Twitter accounts and it seems that Mannie is no longer using that account? All the tweets are no longer in English and the picture is of Tyra Banks lmao. So, unless someone wants to track down Mannie's new Twitter (and possibly get accused of being a stalker :P) maybe it should be deleted?

Yeah, what happened with the top three accounts? I think Max Matsuura was suspended over some Tohoshinki (pre-JYJ) business, right? And what about the other two why it's no more?

Yeah, I haven't been able to update the info in a while, so we can go back and check to change to correct addresses. We could also keep the 'old' URLs just for posterity... but they are in previous threads so maybe not.

He's not verified, unlike his last one (is that right?), and right now the only tweets that he have are Instagram reposts...

ayu team came to Singapore for tour rehearsal

and next week we'll get covers

she stayed at singapore for a long time on this visit.

I have big hope that she will held asia tour leg on this year tour, at least make one in Singapore.

That seems logical. On other hand, she stayed in LA for really long time, but didn't make concerts in US

She did say last year she plans on expanding through Asia and mentioned Singapore as a main spot for then, so I find it very likely :)

True, but her market in Singapore far out weighs her American market. I would bet that there are more Singaporeans who simply know who she is, let alone are fans.

That's the thing though. Her market is mostly in Asia. Plus she has mentioned that she wanted to get closer to her Asian fans this year. I'm honestly hoping for an Asian tour for Cirque de Minuit but another a-nation appearance would be nice too. :)

Hahaha the hat to Ayu's left says, "Your shit bums me out."

I wonder what the blurred thing is?

Brand name on something, I guess?

Ayu's silently dragging us. The true Queen of the white moon kingdom!

^^ Nah it looks like a whiteboard, and it seems they were rehearsing for the tour so my guess is that they wrote songs names or information about the setlist on the board.
