I don't know if this fan is on this forum, but let's not forget that we should respect other listeners of the concert. I have experience of standing next to Japanese fans who were singing along all the time, talking to each other in a loud voice and even laughing like crazy all the time. This was really frustrating.

oh wow...that's interesting because this WAS me at A BEST LIVE, my first ayu concert. I had absolutely no idea that I was being impolite at the time though. So during both cirque de minuit shows, I didn't sing at all! Except during Boys & Girls and TSMGO, of course. For half of a second, I thought maybe it was me they were referring to, because I did take a pic after the concert ended, but it was really quickly and then we got out of there. I definitely wasn't singing though.
Although...I always try to understand that different countries have different customs. Just like I had no idea two years ago not to sing, if someone who lived in Japan their whole life went to a Beyonce concert in the US, they would probably be shocked. I mean, I get why this fan would be frustrated, but you also have to understand that there's a good chance whoever was doing this just didn't know that they were being rude.
It's kind of a relief to know that it's not just foreigners who do this though.
