[Pictures] A WORLD IS ONE - A fanbook for Ayu

[truehappiness]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if she added London and Paris to her tour this year.

I doubt it'll ever happen. This is probably a lot like the Paris meetings, just they seem to have happened at a higher frequency, and she seemed to be just as surprised/happy then...

I think Ayu might remain in Japan/Asia for quite some time, even though it is rather obvious that she has quite a few international fans in other places. There's probably a very very very very very slim likelihood of a tour ever reaching outside the boundaries of Asia, but I wouldn't count on it until maybe a 15th/20th anniversary...

Yeah I think so too =/ But you never know! Maybe she will need more money in the future and then "Hey guys, let's make a world tour so we can earn more money!" And there you go haha. P.S. - Don't make this post look bad I'm just joking

They would lose money not earn money most likely. Many artists that have performed overseas have done so in conjunction with anime conventions so for them its not a financial risk since the con foots the bill. The few Japanese artists that have done concerts overseas without the help of conventions do not have big stage shows to begin with and have a larger euro and american fanbase than Ayu does. To stage a concert overseas is very expensive. It would only maybe work if she did a show with just her and the band but I don't see that happening..

Even without the US album Hikki would still be able to have a couple of smaller concerts, so I pretty much don't think that Ayu needs an English album, even less popular Japanese bands have performed in Europe (including GOTHIKA, heck they even sang in front of 80 people in Serbia...). Doing a smaller concert tour without dancers should be possible, even Olivia had a concert in France and to be honest (even though I love her) compared to Ayu her fan base is WAY smaller and she is simply less relevant. I doubt people expect her to carry a ship or a merry-go-round all over the planet so that a few thousands of people could see it...

Haha, yeah... maybe not this year, but I don't think it's totally out of the question. Maybe avex will notice how successful Utada Hikaru's US tour was and decide to give it a shot too. Hopefully they don't write her tour's success off as being because she makes US releases-- cause I guarantee 90% of the people attending this tour don't know her exclusively from her American stuff. I'd actually be shocked if 10% of the attendance was just fans of her US releases.

But one day, I'm hopeful... at least two major cities in Europe and North America will be visited by Ayu for concerts. Even if it's for her big blow out at the end. haha
