I have been a huge fan of Ayu for 12 years now, and now that I am graduating college going to see her in concert is my Grad Gift. I have been SO EXCITED to see her in concert!! When the goods came out, I wondered if it would be tacky if I bought everything. Maybe two of everything.

What was I most excited about?? That one moment at the end of the concert when I would hear Ayu shout out into the crowd without microphone. Sigh.

So I see all the info about the concert -- and I get it. Powerful political/personal/uplifting message. I am sure it is the right thing for her to be doing right now. But, selfishly, I am bummed that I won't get to see the "classic" Ayu concert I have been (literally) dreaming of for years now.

I am coming around, I see the value in this one-time kind of show. I wish I could have both!!!

I am sure it will be amazing either way to see her perform live. I guess I will have to go back for CDL or next year.

---Also, does anyone else think it would be weird to buy the HLS goods for this show??? They don't match the experience!
I bought 1 of everything when I went to see her in 2008. I had printed pictures of each item from online with the quantity written next to each item that I just handed over to the people selling the goods. Lol.

I understand how you feel, I was thinking today "Thank God I didn't choose to go this year instead - I would be so disappointed."
