Is Ayu EVER coming to America?
 

Is Ayu EVER coming to America? I am very anxious to see her live!

I'm guessing this is more of a wish than an actual question? :D But she's been to America before, just not to perform live. I don't know if we'll ever get to see her perform stateside, but nothing's wrong with crossing your fingers :)

I'm gonna go ahead and say I highly doubt it. And if she ever did, I'm sure that there aren't enough fans to keep the tickets at a fairly reasonable price. I'd like it but sadly... i don't think so :(

Aw, I thought this thread was about the band America, and I got all excited :(

im hoping she might come and perform a song for the 2010 olympics in vancouver haha

It would be nice to see Ayu perform in the US. But I doubt it would happen, at least not anytime soon. I am pretty sure she could do a NYC & LA performance and sell a lot of tickets.

Haha that would be so cool! But yes I somehow doubt it too :p

She could break out of the Inukshuk and suprise people with a song!!!

ayu constantly goes to AMERICA! mainly for pv shoots, recording studios, calender shoots, vacationing, and all the likes!

she should come sing at an anime convention like kuu did in Austin and Houston, Texas!

^ Those fans were pretty lucky to have such a (future) big star like Kumi come there. I wonder if she would do the same today and how the reception would be.

Probably...but not for a while.

And if she did...it would probably LA or New York...though I hope for SF.

Many Japanese artists have come over to perform in the US and had HUGE turnouts. If Ayu came it would be the same I think.

I would cry because she's not coming to Europe :cry

but I'd be very happy for all the American fans!

Maybe she'll perform in London once... I'll definitely fly there for her!!

I believe she could sell-out a Los Angeles/Vegas/NY mini arena tour at least
There are many japanese in the US and some j-pop fans too

It wont happen. You have to ask yourself...."Does she really need it?" It would be smarter for her to focus on her current success in Asia.

i'll be pessimistic and say never
she can do an asia tour because the cities are so close to each other and it's more of a guaranteed sold-out performance than go to uncharted territories aka the US
and! to transport the stage would be ridiculous @_@

She wouldn't have to carry it with her xD She could do something like Limited TA... just a small concert in a regular venue. Nothing too extravagant.

But Avex would only do it if they knew it was worth it, like you said. And she doesn't NEED it.

I need to call Ms. Hamasaki and show her what she said in that CNN interview, lol.

Ayu: "If people will listen, I'll go anywhere!"
Lady: "Even the U.S.?"
Ayu: "Yeah, of course."

:mischief

well jolin usually have smaller stages, but ayu is at the point of her career that she's at the top, she doesn't need to do small shows like that
mostly if she comes to the US, there's not a lot of concerts, if there are, it's probably smaller arenas
but in asia, she can get access to huge arenas :D

Can't we all just go to Tokyo and protest outside Avex... seriously.
