Besides, think about it, there are only 20,000 members at this forum...thousands of whom are leechers, lurkers, or not active.
I personally don't see Ayu doing a small venue tour....and she wont sell out the bigger venues...I mean, as much as I want it...I really don't see it happening.
and about Moriko said, I mean, anyone who knows me will know how proud I am of the book and how much I love it, but the reality is, the book had barely over a hundred entries from here, and I think Maxker said it ended up having "several hundred" pages?
Several hundred is not enough to warrant an international tour in several countries...maybe like uh what L'arc en ciel did when they went to Baltimore? I think her best bet would be Paris, like people said, or maybe New York, or LA... |
I really have to agree with this. I don't know why there is a ll this talk about an international tour. I think the Internet and especially AHS is a good representation of the international, especially western fanbase. It's simply put, not that big. I would honestly say, save for a concert in Japan, if you want to see Ayu live, it won't happen and it makes sense that it doesn't. The numbers of Fans cannot compare to Japan. And I hate it when people go like "Why is she ignoring international fans?" She isn't. She is a japanese artist based in Japan who has a few hardcore fans over the world. But not enough to go completely crazy over it and start having activities over here. And Europe for example is even harder. She has Fans in Uk, France, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia, Germany, Eastern Europe. And when she is in London it's not like every european fan has the opportunity to go there. USA is also big. And if she holds a concert in NY, people in L.A. will complain. I just don't see it happening.
And I'm quite happy about it. For me Ayu is Japan. She should focus on Japan and try to keep her career stable over there instead of coming here and start loosing japanese fans in the process. People should be glad that a very few selected people know her here. If that wasn't the case I doubt we/the fans could have gone close and personal with her, like in London.
