True, but this was a surprise event. I wonder how many people they thought were going to show though.. 900? 1000? At any rate, 8,000 people is like, INSANE and I don't think they could've even had the event if they wanted to if they submitted paperwork and stuff for it and expected that many people.. haha.
Hmmm...not make light of this, but I'm wondering if the cause of this is probably an error in judgment on the PR staff part -- aka underestimate the number of people showing up. AKA the highest number of people they estimated probably would cause a little raised eyebrow in the crowded-ness, but nothing like blocking traffic.

I don't want to be disrespectful to Ayu or anything, but I'm surprised that with the way her sales are going, she still manage to attract 8,000 (That's' more than I hear for Harry Potter's book events and such). 2000 - 2002? probably. But post 2006 - 2007? not really. I'm wondering if her and the PR team thought the same thing.

(and am I the only one who laughed at the article about the part of the rabid fans scaring children?)
