Have you seen the prices of some of those reseller tickets? Anywhere from about $80 to over $1000. If you've got $1000 to spend on a concert ticket, I envy you.

Yeah, I've seen the prices. I agree they're crazy, but there are actually people who would pay this much for the tickets. Especially if the act is popular and tickets are sold out fast. Otherwise, resellers wouldn't charge that amount.

I normally just skim her LINE messages, but this one about Fukuoka/Sendai was so nice.

Quote:
A big thank you to everyone who came to the shows in Fukuoka! There’s no place like home~!

“It was super fun~~!!” [tn: she’s using Hakata dialect]

It felt so good talking to you guys in Hakata-ben during the MC that I can’t let it go just yet, lol. But—

I can feel all the ‘hometown power’ you guys gave me, and I’m gonna carry it with me to the next concert, and the next, and give it everything I’ve got!!

Starting, of course, this weekend in Sendai!!

It’s been two years since the day I promised you guys I would come back to see you again. And finally, the day has come when I can fulfill that promise.

Actually, ever since the album release event in March, I’ve been so excited for those brightly shining moments that I get to spend with all of you.

Aah, I can’t wait to sing for you~~!!!

And, since this is the only stop in Tohoku on the tour, I hope everybody from outside Sendai will come and lend us your power!!

I’ll be waiting ayu

I agree that there can be various reasons for empty seats, but it seems that removing whole seating areas (floors) of the venues has happened for the first time. I don't jump to any sad conclusions or predictions, for me it's just a sign of continuing decline in popularity and decreasing fandom, which isn't something new at all, but still it's slowly showing more and more each year.

Her message is so sweet!

I don't really care about her decline in popularity among the general public, but when actual fans start to disappear, that's when i get sad

i think she should get back to her tour routine before Rock'n'Roll Circus meaning promoting new album. we've got 3,5 recycle tours in last 5 years so even when you are hc ayu fan it gets boring! i'm not even interested of this tour since she performs only couple of new songs and many over-performed songs so i don't blame people not going there it was okay for A BEST LIVE since it was the 15th Anniversary celebration but this is just no

i don't wanna complain but i just feel this is waisted opportunity yet again

She's relying more on her brand now more-so. She knows people go to see her for the songs they love, not necessarily the new crap she's trying to shove down their throats.

Do you (or does anyone) know whether there is a reseller shop in other cities in Japan?

So today I had time to compare the sound of 2 Saitama shows, each and every song Ayu sang, to find out what was live and what wasn't.
So here are the results:
GAME - lip synced entirely
my name's WOMEN - verses are sung live, choruses are lip synced
1 LOVE - lip synced entirely
WARNING - lip synced entirely
Lady Dynamite - lip synced entirely

All other songs are sung live.
As you can see Ayu used the same approach as with recent CDL - lip syncing only choreography heavy songs. All the vocal tracks that were used for these performances are not pitch corrected, they have a lot of flaws, that's why they sound completely live to audience's ears. And that was the intention, right? ;-) I was surprised by Lady Dynamite being lip synced, didn't see it coming at all.
And one more interesting fact:
The show must go on was sung in original key on 11/04, but they lowered the key on 12/04.
