haha i find it funny that almost everyone is super and extremely excited about when the official dates of the asian stops will be released. and when it's really released, everybody is like "oh... ok"

ayu have like around 3 weeks in between each stop. i wonder if she will sorta forget some dance steps or what

According to the website on the first post, this is what it says,

Quote:
The theme of this year's ASIA TOUR 2008 is "harbour". Ayu would like to use the theme of "harbour" to represent the different places ayu have been to the past 10 years and present the concert in the most extravagant way. Ayu also like to use all the "strength" she had gained from all the places she had been to continue pushing on her career.

^i think its the same theme like what she use in her japan tour...
her concert stage for this year show is more extravagant than last year tour...and so many property on this year tour...i think that's why she spend 3 weeks between each stops

yeah.. it's more or less gonna be the exact same show. Since ayu already insisted on the consistency of the concerts in both japan and asian stops last year, i guess she will do it so this year..

It all fits. ayu is back for a-nation so chances of new setlist is relative low.
the time period in between each asian stop is quite big. which means the ship gonna take some time to be set up..

of cos.. this is jus my speculation... not necessarily true.

Though it's only 2 weeks between the Shangai and Taipei stops, so it can be done in less time.

Does avex make any profit with a high production cost like that or are they kinda spending some of their "savings" on Ayumi since she's... well, Hamasaki Ayumi?

lol I just saw this on her official site.

She's really gonna be busy this year. She's gonna take a small break before rehearsing for a-nation, then she'll be doing a-nation, then three weeks later, she'll be starting the Asia leg of her tour. =O

Can't wait to hear more about the tour~! =D

I'm pretty sure that they do. However, I think it's mostly tour goods that they make money from.. that and the sponsors [Panasonic and etc] help pay some of the costs.

Multiplying the price of the tickets [7800 yen] and the amount of fans that will watch [260,000] gives us around 2,028,000,000, two billion twenty-eight million.

And then you add the goods that people probably purchase [a shirt, random object, ayupan, and a fan, which is around 5700 yen] times the amount of people.. comes out to be: 1,462,000,000, one billion, four hundred sixty-two million.

2,020,000,000 + 1,462,000,000 = 3,482,000,000 yen = 32.5 million USD

Of course, you have to take into account that people will pay different prices for tickets and that people will buy TONS more or TONS less tour goods. I think that they tend to make quite a bit more.. I mean, that's how they can keep doing all of these tours. It seems as though the tour costs are always pretty high for Ayu's shows. Probably because they know that Ayu can bring in enough money so that they don't perform at a loss.

I think because Ayumi's biggest profits nowadays are from her tours Avex does sponsor.

And like Truehappiness's calculation, they pretty much get the money back.

Her 2002 tours were somewhat separate from each other, while this year it seems as though everything's really really close to one another.. @_@
