I went to an Osaka concert of hers last year, it was her 5th concert there within the space of 4 or so months, and every seat was taken. Why do you think her Japan tours grow each year? She fills them. Don't believe those nonsense articles.

I never went to Japan or any of her concerts (this is so sad!), but watching on dvd, you can see that Japanese people are different. They don't react like many of us, I think it's part of their culture, they are a little more restrained, so maybe watching the dvds we have the wrong impression that they're not having as much fun as we would/as we wished. (not everyone, please, I know people are different), but I think it's only their way to express their emotions and if they didn't love or support Ayu they wouldn't bother to go to her concerts and by her goodies and be a part of that special moment with her. People that actually went to her concerts can say it better that I can, but I think this article is not true (and I hope it's not!). I think she has a great amount of Japanese and worldwide fans, come on. People cross the world to see her, how many artists can say that?

Last year in Yokohama, the crowd was way louder than they let you hear on DVDs. I was surrounded by a whole bunch of fans who sang along to every song and people were constantly screaming Ayu and cheered her on every few songs. I was really surprised as I thought that they'd be pretty silent.

ah a little over a month till my trip to Tokyo/Hiroshima. I can't wait. My ticket was shipped on 26th, I think I got a better seat than last year ^_^

I'll definitely be singing every song! And most likely crying the majority of the time LOL

I personally sing along only when Ayu asks to because I think fans go to her concerts to hear HER, at least I do. It may get really irritating when fans are constantly singing and you have to make efforts to actually hear AYU. Two Japanese girls almost ruined for me the beginning of Memorial Address because they sang louder than Ayu.
And I scream the hell out "Ayu!!!" mostly between the songs :-)

I want songs other than Boys & Girls that Ayu asks us to sing along with!!!

I wouldn't be belting it out all loudly though lol

Will there be more shows in October?? I am so curious.

Per her annual concert pattern since 2009, I think October shows are almost definitive. I'm still hoping that this one would 'evolve' into something 'BEST'-er.

I hope the BEST would just end and LOVE again asia tour would happen ♥

This is soo true
My vision would be severely diminished from all that crying at her concert
I would not be able to see a thing :D
And hell no I would NOT just idly stand there like a log
I would be jumping & dancing until i faint :thud

Today Ayu sang Key !? Wow

^^REALLY?! Wow...are those encore songs like, TV versions (half the song) or is it the whole song?

She sang Key?! I love that song!

wowowo key? :thud
I love it~! :heart

I wonder if she'll end up doing all 50 of those chosen songs by the time the tour ends...PLEASE let us get them all on blu ray!

Yeah for Key!! Finally something different! :D

Can anyone confirm if all these encore songs are the full songs, or abridged versions?

Key?!! omg!!!
