It most likely WILL rise to that number though. At this pace, by the end of the tour it should easily surpass that. |
I think you shouldn't compare HP and Morning Masume to Ayu, most of those girls are idols and have a bunch of hard core otaku's backing them up, even though their sales generally suck now. Plus keep in mind that many of those artists on tour prolly perform in smaller halls/arenas than Ayu is with less concert dates. There is still time and some of the tickets might simply sell when the tour actually takes off. Sure what you said might be true as we all know that less people seem to like Ayu's music, but as I said before, every single discussion seems to be just for the sake of stating that she's losing her popularity which is rather obvious and it's needless to discuss it over and over again. So I am sorry I am having troubles seeing a point here. Sure this might be the first time this is happening, but this is the first time she is having 35 days for one of her tours and rather than being negative you could simply say that those 2 pretty obvious facts might be related + you said it yourself that this is the first time this has happened even though her sales have been declining the past number of years, so I guess what Andre said makes way more sense.
