Just read the TA entry and while it doesn't really say so, it is probably the ticket sales that she didn't add more dates. But are the October dates not a "newer" thing anyway? Didn't she start doing those later dates only a few years ago?
If we're looking for reasons of Ayu's declining draw in, most of them have been described quite correctly, I guess. I have never personally attended an Ayu concert, but I wish I could turn back time and visit her Dome Concert, A Museum, TA club tour or My Story Tour. Those are the concerts I keep going back to and they are 10 years old! I'm not interested in her newer stuff for numerous reasons.... I feel sorry for her, but she made some bad decisions in the past that now come back to haunt her. My interest in Ayu is waning for some years now. I always thought it was just a slump, but I have to admit, I'm just not as excited about her activities as I was before and I doubt it will get better. I feel sad that I'm obviously not the only one who lost interest....but I know Ayu has very devoted fans who'll stay with her no matter what, and that's nice to know.
