this :yes.
As I remember, only few jpop singers goes to those european anime-con. Like HALCALI, KOKIA or Shoko Nakagawa. All of them are awesome, but they're not so famous as Ayu or DBSK (unfortunately). European jmusic fandom is really jrock oriented.

Actually I can see Ayu in a anime-con in these days. Because she's gonna do the theme song for a Tales of.. game. But I highly doubt she will be there :/ even if would be awesome and I would have a chance to see her lol.

I doubt this is gonna happen as much as I want it to be true. Ayu probably charges an enormous appearance fee like $800,000+.

The website looks so..scanty...although it would be nice for Ayu to come to the UK...I can't see her doing it either with her schedule and all...But I will wait for a confirmation

That would be.. stupid.. simply stupid xD

Because they are completely different things, you can't compare them to Ayu.

I won't dare say it's impossible for any reason. Just when Ayu makes us believe something is impossible or won't be done, or have certain expectations, she crushes us by doing something completely not what we were expecting.

Honestly, if she ended up going to this convention I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest.

We never know. It might be impossible to see Ayu in this convention but still there's chance.

Even though, Ayu's genre is quite different with GACKT, YOSHIKI, MIYAVI, and, SUGIZO, I believe Ayu's name would some times be linked to anime especially her music is anime-like in some matter.

I'm surprised "DBSK" is going lol

I don't see at all why Ayu would be at a convention.

Her anime stuff was YEARS ago, and it was a few things :/

Hi everyone, I heard a rumour that Ayumi will be playing in Birmingham, England this August. Apparently it's going to be for a convention which the proceeds go to charity. The owner told me that he cannot confirm nor deny anything, if the group does not meet a quota of 10,000 people within the next two months it shall not be able to run regardless of whether or not they have rumoured celebrities. So if you could please add this group on facebook – it’s a big cosplay / anime / Japanese convention.

And I hope to see both you and Ayu there ~ <3

So there's this concert / gig in Birmingham in August (Sunday 7th) and I've heard rumours from some good sources that Ayumi hamasaki will be playing there. But I also heard that the facebook group needs to meet a quota of possible pre-press released artists before it can go ahead - apparently they're struggling with PR and are worried that if they don't get enough they will have to cancell everyone (potentially including Ayumi if she is confirmed)
so here's the facebook page, if you could join it would be a very nice way to show support for ayu in the uk ~ :

Much love

Yunapaooza <3 x

I doubt it'll happen, but if she's going to be performing then I'd do whatever it takes to go (even put up with the cosplayers and the Otakus).

What is it with the facebook page yunapaooza posted? Almost everything on there is about sex, sexual assault, almost or nude anime girls...is that really necessary?

Wow, good luck to them paying for her =|

They'll need to pony up her expenses, flights, accommodation, her entourage as well as rights to Avex for her performance. Wonder how they'll afford all that!!!! *_*

doubting, but never say never right?
