the first pic, those billboards with ayu's love n hope pics are really in US? really?

it appears so. if they were actually shown in New York, that's really awesome! But unfortunately because of her stature here in the US, not many people know who she is and people who'd see the billboards in Times Square (not everyone, but most people) would think she's just a model. which is all the more reason as to why she should try to further her career and image more globally. she obviously has potential to be a massive international pop star (in North America, Europe, South America, Australia, etc.), but of course Avex wants to be stubborn. perhaps if she switched labels, she'd have much more freedom to do that.

the last two scans... OMG.

so gorgeous, especially the black and white one. stunning <3

[Andrenekoi]

^The USA still aren't ready for a massive Asian pop star, that's for sure...

[Aderianu]

^m.. I think L'Arc~en~Ciel had a great success at Madison Square Garden month ago

A male rock band = / = A female solo...and especially not one who's into her 30s already, has vocal damage, a heavy accent, and who doesn't dance...

I don't mean those things in a bad way...but some of them are a big deal. I don't really see Ayu having a place anywhere in the market either.


anyways...I hope someone scans that book? lol

Ivete Sangalo, a top brazilian popstar, had a sold out concert at Madison Square Garden on 2010, it was even reviewed by some major publications and recorded for a DVD/Blue Ray Release... Have you ever heard of her or any of her songs? I guess not... And she still is virtually unkown outside portuguese speaking countries and South America.

MSG capacity is around 15,000... With the right promo and enough time, is not that hard for an artist or band that apeals only to some groups to sold out one or two dates there, as it's not a very big arena... Ayu herself could have a sold out date there if she announced it with enough time for both her western and japanese fans to plan their flights to NY...

A lot of USA people also still hold some of the WW2 impressions about japanese people, what makes it even harder...

[AyUmIXx]

haha lol i thought leslie really put some billboards in NYC to promote the love and hope photobook

[freedreamer]

I wish she could keep Call and include Last Angel and Letter instead of Ice, Smoke, Magic and the next LOVE.

[Earth_maiden]

Last Angel again? DO NOT WANT!

[Andrenekoi]

Last Angel? Really? xD

[freedreamer]

O.O Last angel?! that doesnt feel like an Encore song at all...has the tour begun to evolve?

[voguehoney]

A taiwan ayu fans say the first encore song in fukui is Last angel

[LacusClyne]

....I would rather call or letter then Last Angel....

[Evolution7/4]

EHHHH I LOVE last angel but encore song?? Interesting...Maybe it will evolve into some kind of encore staple like Humming 7/4 or something haha

[Delicious n Bold]

You know, she looks so happy and full of life in that cat-girl thing.
Heck, she looks so lively in every costume.

I wish more of her single covers were like this... (poor MOON)

[Jennie Mae]

Very interesting to suddenly include a song about Mannie that she wrote when she was falling in love with him...
