Also, my Taiwanese friend told me that it's usually their strategy to not add more dates in the first year but to add more in the 2nd year. The record company just want to test the popularity of the singer who will sing overseas for the first time. If the sales turns out well they'll agree on adding more dates in the next year. Japanese are careful about money^^". I think to be fair,we should think more before commenting on subject like this. ~Most importantly, no mean to offend^^.

But the tickets sold out within a few hours, still have to test the popularity?

On the other hand, Ayu is not a new singer. She is very popular in Asia. We have her singles and albums in HK version since Boys and Girls. I don't think Avex have to test her popularity in these 3 areas. In fact, the demand for the tickets is FAR GREATER than the supply. Many fans would like Ayu to have additional shows.

And I don't think Ayu will have the Asia Tour again in a short period of time.
Being a fan outside Japan, it's hard to have such a great opportunity for Ayu to held her concert here.

From the concert dates, there is no concert dates on the week of may 16th except for the newly added date may 19th on the saturday. Hopefully there will be something going on that week...hopefully a new single release or additional performances.

Yes, but avex wants to play it safe. They don't want reports saying the concert was only 80% full or something.. they want 100% capacity. Plus, HK Coliseum is jam packed with concerts this year. I doubt that they would've been able to add an additional date anyway.

Well, we all knew ever since they listed the few Asian venues that this wouldn't be a REAL Asia Tour with the majority of concerts overseas...so I'm not surprised Japan gets the added dates.

Choyan · #26 9th March 2007, 10:41 PM

D:!!! now if only they could add dates to end of June or the beginning of July!!! XD T^T

It is 5 out of necassity. Yoyogi in Tokyo (usually where her concerts are filmed) is closed this year for remodeling. So it's not a surprise at all that more Tokyo vicinity dates were added. I still find it odd that the tour is ending in Fukuoka though, so I wouldn't be surprised if 1 or 2 more Tokyo area dates show up for the very end of the tour.

truehappiness · #28 10th March 2007, 02:31 AM

Yeah..

Either that, or they're gonna try getting Ayu's mom to pop out at the Fukuoka concert~ "OMG SEKURETTO?"

yes, that's why i'm very sad that ayu miss a show here to singapore, afterall we do have a string base of j-pop, her cds sell very well here......

and i doubt she will come here soon. it might be years for me to have a chance to see her

AyuGAME · #30 10th March 2007, 02:53 AM

ayu_fan929 · #31 10th March 2007, 03:21 AM

Maybe they'll change the "film at last show" idea for this tour?

truehappiness · #32 10th March 2007, 04:30 AM

Well, then she'll totally have to change her "_____ TOUR FINAL, YOUKOSO." Speech. D:

4ever*ayu · #33 10th March 2007, 06:05 AM

Like I said, I wouldn't be suprised if they announce more dates at either Yokohama or Saitama for the very end of the tour. (That's what has happened the last couple of years for the final show) I wouldn't mind Fukuoka though. But personally I'm hoping for another Tokyo concert date in June so that I can go.

Ayu usually has her last concert in Tokyo, at least for the past few years.
So I was surprised to see the schedule that last concert in Fukuoka.
I think they will add 2 more shows after Fokuoka, and they will be in Tokyo.

Ya. The number of shows is less in this year.
I hope there will be another tour in the Summer or Autumn (STADIUM TOUR or ARENA TOUR).
