Well, keep in mind that a-nation is INCREDIBLY LONG. It's like going to see a regular concert times 2-3? That is likely why the ticket costs so much. You'll be in the theater for like 6 hours.

That TRF thing sounds like it's legit since 'seniors' could imply them being affected by a-nation.

ayu_19980408: I initially wanted to just write on my blog and talk only with TA, but since even the Tohoshinki fans have gotten mixed up in this, I shall tweet instead. And because everyone just cannot calm down, I’ll explain what really happened. But please let this be the only time I need to talk about this issue.
ayu_19980408: Regarding the rumours about a-nation, it’s roughly what everyone has been speculating about. However, there’s one thing I need to clarify. I was the one who was protesting to the company about various things, and wanted to pull out of the 2 shows at Tokyo. That’s because I feel distrust towards a-nation itself.
ayu_19980408: As for the performance, I puzzled over it till the very last minute. Then, I remembered everyone in the audience who are waiting for me, as well as the comrades and staff and everyone in TA who are fighting with me, and decided to go on stage afterall.
ayu_19980408: Lastly. No matter what happens, Masa has always stayed by me and protected me, regardless of his own position as CEO.
ayu_19980408: Yes, I have left some parts out of this retelling. The reason for my distrust is because of the sudden strong resistance towards my setlist, as well as a lack of respect towards the existence of my respected seniors and my sweet juniors.

Keep in mind that for almost every a-nation performance that year, she performed last except the last two (or was it the last one?) in Tokyo. The part about the setlist likely refers to avex wanting her to change it from what it was with Why... feat. JUNO to something else.
