Especially because Connected was the most succesful japanese single in Germany EVER, coming at place 82(i think) in the german single charts and one of the remix singles even got a very high(somewhere in the top 5 i think) dance chart position, i think it was a m remix.
I think for concerts and rereleases of her japanese albums(in the way many J-Rock bands do, without promoting them of course, only releasing and a little internet and concertpromo) she could fill halls in some european countrys, I think the countrys with most japanese artists coming there are Germany, France and Britain. In these 3 countrys I think she could sell her albums and fill concerts ina way in which she would NOT make a minus, but also without earning much money.

If youre talking about the stress of touring, than I think thats definitly not the reason, but the volume on stage and while rehearsals is really, really harmful. Especially because a) she has dancers, so they need monitors on stage and b) when rehearsing, she sometimes walks around in front of the stage watching her double, where its even louder
