That was the reason she initially gave back in 2017 when she did the first tour without them. Since then, she's performed at Yoyogi and Saitama with no band - and a couple of times at smaller venues WITH the band - so that reasoning doesn't hold up. My guess would be that she needed them to commit to a stupid amount of dates and they either didn't want to OR wanted a lot money, because it would mean they aren't able to do any of their own projects.

For me, it was fine for a tour or two... but now I'm just not interested in her lives if she doesn't have a band. Don't get me wrong, I still had fun at the shows, but without the band it's a completely different energy.
