Also, concerning the whole ticketing situation, I wonder if the economy really does have something to do with it. That plus the fact that she's probably going around to arenas closer to people's hometowns, it's possible that they knew some arenas weren't gonna sell out (like the largest two she usually performs in, Yokohama and Saitama). It just doesn't add up that Ayu / avex would add so many more dates to the tour and have it last for so long only to have it "fail". And another thing, considering that NEXT LEVEL came out less than two weeks before the tour, I feel as though people might have needed time to digest the album, since they usually get 3-5 months to do so since her albums tend to be released in the fourth quarter of the year. Eh, we can speculate endlessly about why things happen and why Ayu wanted things the way they are, but.. in the end all we can do is enjoy (or.. not enjoy?) what's being shown to us. -sigh-
