Objective: Ayu World Tour

[Dolly_FACE]

It's worth a shot, I mean if we don't try we'll never know.

However the cost will most likely outweigh the profits they'll make esp if they go to loads of different countries. One of the reasons I think the idea is a couple of shows here and there in different continents maybe?

I wouldn't mind if it was a PoM-type thing. I honestly expected something small like the TA Limited Live tour if she ever went outside of Asia, though a PoM-esque orchestral show would be awesome.

Really, would a lot of international fans be that picky?

No need a big show! I'm sure that seeing Ayu singing in front of us will be enough to be more than happy!

I always thought & think again, that if Ayu comes in Europe or US, her concert would be like limited TA live tour or PoM but no matter...Just seeing her make me feel happy because it sounds as a miracle for me. But with our friend twitter now...^___^

yes I agree. Just I think if the miracle became true and Ayu would come that's it. Just she's the one! I can't care less which kind of concert she would do because it's Ayu. Only see her is a big gift. And every concert is special and awesome.

Hey guys, I attended 2 dates of PoM and it was GREAT! And I think it is simply enough to take it overseas...

And yes, we already talked about making a TT on twitter. We will settle a date where everyone will use the #AyuWorldTour hashtag, but we have to plan that very carefully

And... I don't think we should say anything to Leslie yet. We're not prepared for it

[°~Kitty~°]

count me in guys it's a great idea and I didn't realize the under the same sky project maaaa T_T

[CZECHayu]

miki_beland: yes, that's true. We're still thinking. We need to make plan and after work hard for make it true.

If anyone is interested on the artistic design, I think the theme would be the following:

An opened flower with the world coming out from the inside. Five petals, five continents. Blue rainbows, stars, sky, clouds. The world

I NEED Washington DC otherwise I cannot go (poor college student can't even afford to fly @_@)

Agreed!!! I would go see her in Los Angeles or Anaheim! Maybe she can perform at The House Of Blues like Utada did?

[aura~]

I don't think anyone is expecting a big show like the ones before PoM! She would need a big venue for minimum 6000 audience, which would probably mean only 1-2 dates in just 1 city and the transportation to many continents of all the concert 'things' would be to expensive for avex... or the tickets would cost a fortune...

I think everyone already accepted that this is not going to happen (a big show), but there's no reason not to expect a small venue TA limited tour kind of concerts.

Oh... I thought that once we have more information about countries, fans, venues and all that we should write everything down for ayu/avex, don't you think? x)

And on a side note, as we all are thinking of small venues concerts, we should remember to say that they should accept underage! I've read lots of reports from Hikaru Utada fans that had difficulties or where unable to enter the venue for that reason!

So I just talked to a musician friend who also organices music festivals and managed to bring important spanish bands, asked him and he gave me a few advices:
- We gotta know for sure how many people would attend every concert, and how many countries could held a concert.
- Ayu has a very high cache, and because of that she probably wouldn't do concerts for less than 1500 people. We have to chose the correct places for the shows consequently.
Also because of her cache, she won't give a show for less than certain amount of money, meaning less people = higher price tickets.
- More concerts also means more work. If we can gather 2-3 places in one (ie: Spain + Portugal + France ) will have more chances.
- We have to make official polls. Avex should be able to see the results of those polls, so maybe we should create a special site for this. If Avex realizes we're thousands asking for a tour, they may considerate it.
- Once we have everything clear, and this gets serious, instead of chosing a leader to tell Ayu/Avex about the project, we should bomb them with the matter. Many of us are TA members and we can directly contact Ayu and Avex to explain it. Those who aren't still have twitter and other ways to contact them. For that, the idea of setting a day to massively tweet about #ayuworldtour seems right.
-We have to make noise!!! Spread the world about this, your friends, family, anyone who could be interested on attending an Ayu concert.

So far I have 3 friends who would pay 100€ for a ticket in Spain. Makes 4 with me. I would pay 150€.

Also we need to be patient, this won't do from a day to another. But we can do it!!

Agree with virtually everything you said. I still think it may have to be one show for quite a few countries otherwise the turnout won't be high enough.
I'm not convinced 2-3 will be enough=/ I may just be being pessimistic though.

Obv that sucks for people who can't travel abroad on their own or whatever...

[brener]

killer idea. ima tryna help

[Chibi-Chan]

Now I'm following at twitter!

@dulceku: I think that you brought up very good/important points!

[toniayu]

I don't want to be pessimistic but i don't want to force ayu to do this.I really want to do this project and i really want to see ayu in live (it's my dream) but a BIG world tour is very stressing and requires too much time and effort/work.I'll be happy and satisfied if ayu does this in a happy way and something style like power of music tour(showing her beautiful voice with simplicity and not too much show).I only want that ayu take it easy if she does this.
Anyway i'm supporting this project and i'll be supporting until the end...because A WORLD IS ONE~!!!!!!

[miki_beland]

lol Ayu loves her work, specially touring... i dont think that would never suppose an stress for her health

[OyTony]

Following the Youtube channel and twitter. Really like the idea, maybe ayu can make a concert in Zurich. We have a nice big stadium here. XD

[Yoake]

♥dulceku great job! we can make it with that!

[ohsixthirty]

I'm subscribing on YouTube and following on twitter! I really wanna do more though!!! I think it's enough just to see Ayu live...i dont care how big or small the show is. I will go anywhere in North America to see her and maybe even Europe if I had time to plan!

And seriously, I believe this CAN work, we just have to believe and be excited about it!!!

As for the US I can see Ayu doing LA and NYC definitely. Secondary cities are San Francisco and Washington DC...Maaaaybe Chicago or Miami, but I would be surprised at either. I saw Utada in Chicago and the House of Blues was sold out.

I think the biggest thing now is to build a buzz around this. If it's just a few of us involved it's a lot less likely. It has to go outside of just AHS.

Maybe someone could create a centralized website for this? Or maybe an online petition? I'm not sure if those really work, but Ayu and Avex have to see the interest in this.

[zellyx]

^ yep LA or San Fran and NYC definitely. I'm really hoping for DC.

Oh & budget wise, (& size wise) something like limited TA tour would be both amazing and feasible. I only want to see ayu. Im not picky about anything else.
