Um World Tour...yeah...no. That ship sailed over ten years ago. Of course, she can still afford to go overseas to record/film once in a while...but there's no way in hell avex will finance a world tour that will definitely result in a deficit. The only way I can see anything remotely resembling a "world tour" happening is if Ayu herself financed a tiny concert series (3-4 shows at various cheap venues) with her own money à la Utada...or if she got invited to some anime conventions or something. If she's going to drag along the elaborate sets...the dancers, ect...there's really not so many places where this could realistically happen...and definitely not in places like NYC or LA....not to mention Europe where bottled water costs a fortune. Vegas is a possibility but she'll likely have to ditch the "tour" part and just do a couple of Vegas shows.

Her 15th Anniversary is still a big deal though (even though they've seriously botched it up with that whacky 5-release scheme). Another Asia Tour would be nice...I mean Namie is huge right now but Ayu can't be THAT far behind in terms of current relevance...she still has a significant fan-base in Asia.
