I would LOVE to see Ayu perform in my country, but it's so unlikely to happen.

A new album is kind of a given though haha
That's plain old rude! Why would the Japanese government do this!? Hello, but that's not fair to us - you're too much of a domestic protectionist government! (>_<)

Yeah, we're feeling the pain with, e.g., those blockades of Sony Music Japan on YouTube for foreigners.

Come on, this has got to change - we need more Japanese musicians (probably indies who aren't going to deal with "draconian" music labels) to showcase work online to the whole entire world!
