When Utada played LA, she sold out, and by sold out, I mean only around 700 people went. That's tiny, TINY. Even for something like a very stripped down T.A. tour or something, it wouldn't be worthwhile for avex. When she did her T.A. tour, she played large halls like Zepp Tokyo with a capacity of like 2000. Also, Utada wasn't doing her tour for profit. She was probably spending more than she earned from the tour. It was just for fun. I doubt that's something avex prioritizes.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing a T.A. like show featuring Ayu. I didn't get to meet her when she came to L.A. However, I just don't think she will be doing an independent concert, or a world tour at that. I think the best shot fans have for a worldwide tour would be to request Ayu for Anime conventions. I know there's a huge one in France that's a big deal.

Also remember that while Ayu or other Jpop artists may be arguably more accomplished (in terms of sales, success, records, ect) than Korean artists, worldwide, Korean artists are more exposed. You just can't reasonably expect a huge Jpop world tour like the ones Kpop has.

Huge isn't the word I would use. When you have 10 of your a-list artists and only two concert to cover the whole Europe it's not so hard to attract so many fans. If avex actually wanted to bring a-nation to Europe it would be a different story.

Ayu won't be able to gather over 300 000 people to see her concerts in Japan forever. It's really just the matter of time when less and less people will be willing to pay to see her live and sooner or later she'll consider giving her international fans a chance to see her live.

As I said with her band (without dancers) and no props it's not going to cost that much really and if many visual kei bands have the resources to do it so can Ayu, even though the profits won't be high.
