One of my favorite bands, Nephew, a danish group, often play in Denmark to completely sold out concerts. They're like; the danish Radiohead or something. But I am fortunate enough to live in Sweden, where they recently gave a small concert in Stockholm, not far from where I live. Because they are fairly unknown in Sweden, there were like 90 people there. 90. Can you imagine how amazing it was for me, a huge fan, to be standing MUCH closer to them than many danish ever will?

I was just lucky, and so are all of the american fans who happens to be fan of an artist not that well-known in that country which they live in. Remember what happened when Ayu suddenly appeared unannounced, what was it, Shibuya? Everything went WILD and she even got fined because of it. She's the same and of course adores all of her fans the same, but she simply cannot have that same kind of "liberty" with her japanese fans, or in Japan. As a japanese fan, you'll simply have to hope that you one day meet her somewhere else.
