Well they were talking about why Ayu had long tours for such a long time lol

The first tour she did it with was right after Namie's. That's why people were making comparisons~ But yeah, doesn't mean, it's correct, just another thing floating around, but it can contribute to fans being a little disgruntled.

Lots of things can. I think sometimes being in the fandom for long periods of time, we can forget about the things that happen at specific times, but for some fans, those small things might be really important. They might have been like, the final straw.

Who knows what people think lol^^

Well, live performance is pretty much in lately... Everyone is having more tour dates and some popstars (Beyoncé for example) even toured without having a new album to promote... IMO her recent long tours are just part of the moment pop music is going through. Also having a long tour just for the sake of doing it is a bad idea, as the ticket sales may backfire.

I don't like everything Ayu does and I don't think anyone should... But there's nothing on her that hints she is not into it anymore... NEXT LEVEL, Rock'n'Roll Circus, Love songs, Party Queen and even Love again had she trying new sounds... AT09, AT10, AT11, AT12 and AT13 all demanded a lot more of her as a performer (singing, dancing and acting-wise) than any of her classic concerts... Her singing technique never was better than it is now (as she actually does have singing technique now)... If she still is trying new stuff, still is challenging herself and still is improving, there's no way she doesn't care.

Promotion wise, she is doing exactly what she should be doing after more than a decade of massive super-exposition, and it's not like having tie-ins depends only on her... As the general public loses interest on her, it's natural there's less CMs and theme songs being ordered.
