I'm not really surprised that Japanese people are concern about the flu... I see they use the masks when they get a little sick...
Here in Mexico, the Hn1 something virus gave big trouble... Even though almost no one from where I lived was sick of that, (more than 2 weeks of vacations! yet they have already said the school will end 1 or 2 weeks later :(... ), people were freaking out and wearing those masks.
Last week, when we entered school, they also made us watch our hands and that sort of things, yet I guess it's good to take precautions.

According to this article: http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/music/66263/
Avex has cancelled the concerts of Ayu, Ai and Kumi in Osaka.

Press release: http://www.avex.co.jp/j_site/press/2009/090519.pdf

Ouch, the spread of the virus must have gotten more serious.

but she said in her TA message she was going to Osaka... -___-

well.. we'll see...

=O Oh wow...

I'm not surprised, actually. If they're shutting down school systems, I'm not surprised they're canceling concerts.

Thankfully, Ayu has more Osaka concerts in July, but I wouldn't be surprised if she adds more additional Osaka dates because of the cancellation of these.

^Yeah probably. If the spred of the virus will slow down that will say...

It's good they cancelled those shows.

Less 2 shows but it's still ayu's longest tour. =D

Oh no!

TRICK TOUR too! T_____T

noooo!
But... i think is the better option u.u

It's normal they have cancelled the shows... it is said that to prevent the flu people have to avoid big masses of people... and thousands of people closed in the venue sure is not a prevention...

Here, some more details: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=90215

Aren't they going to rearrange the dates or make Osaka the DVD show? I'm sure Avex doesn't want to loose out on all that money lol.

Well, people already paid, so they could reschedule some dates around.

from ayu and her tour xD

someone knows if ayu did some new screen videos or mini-movies for this tour?

I think the interludes used in this tour [all of them] had some movie attached to them.

wow really? GREAT NEWS!
i love to make grow my "album dvds" including the interlude pvs :D

i got my ticket email from team ayu, i got tickets to the oct 22nd show for sure :D I just have to go to a convenience store and pay for them ^_^ Keeping my fingers crossed for seats near the front or the center stage :D But my friend and I both ordered 2 tickets each, so whoever has the better tickets, we'll sell the other ones ^_^

edit: my friend didn't end up getting tickets from the raffle, so my tickets will have to do! hahaha
