If it's true, it's about damn time! Considering she's mainly residing here in America, she'd probably consider a show here (and maybe some in Europe) to be close to home and her personal life....it would just make sense.

(ie. youtube videos limited to Japan, facebook posts [mostly] all in Japanese ONLY, Oricon not counting purchases from overseas on charts etc).

That's because no Japanese artist has ever tried before. Lots of K-pop artists have in the past few years and have been VERY successful. Ayu did get a tiny bit of press in 2002 here in the US for a review of her spitting skills for Evolution and the TIME magazine feature. But shes mainly known here for 'Dearest' as one of the ending themes in Inuyasha, but most of those people don't know her exactly and just more so if the song. Since her sound is more western now and getting more noticed globally, it's the perfect time for her finally show her skills to the western world.
