She should do things like FLOWER in MADE IN JAPAN TOUR. Allow people to take pictures and videos in one song and post on social media.

That is kind of like... free marketing?

Completely agree! And for me personally it gives a nice image saying "feel free to take photos, yaay" but I mean because of all the hate Ayu had to block comments or something on Instagram, right? And give her twitter to her staff? So in that way I get it...

Yes but someone could also post a clip where perhaps she isn't hitting a note quite well enough and then next thing you know it's all over social media that Ayu can't sing and her show is terrible.

Honestly, no phones at the shows is far more enjoyable. People should just enjoy the moment and let themselves get carried away without worrying about taking a hundred photos that they'll barely ever look at anyway.

Now that I remember, during first chapter of JTB people could take pictures and there were a lot of pictures with really bad angles that made her look bigger and the media started to post many articles about her "obesity" and people mocked her (remember some really bad shots with the golden outfit and she received a lot of shit because of it) so maybe it is smarter to have only profesional shots, they can decide which one to post

Double edged sword, it seems.

In my home country I'd always take pics or record, but it wasn't until Japan when I appreciated not having that distraction. I'd be so focused on the pictures that I didn't have my full attention on what was happening. In fact, I remember the concerts that I didn't take pictures at way better than the ones where I had taken them.
