I'd say some of the Japanese fans are far worse, as they attack his Japanese level and the fact that he's foreign. Because yea, that still exists here.

But many of the japanese fans have definitely accepted him as much as they accept the other members so it's not all bad.

Asian can be very racist in Asia.
They can be racist to Asian too. I am not impressed how hard working he is in Japan.

If you want to read his posts, I just did a quick search in the archives:

Haha, it was right before Party Queen was released, my bad.

And imo JPC isn't so much different to AHS.

Haha if ayu was a member she surely quitted already. all of this would upset me (and you can illigaly download all her stuff).

[//ABEST]

she'd be downloading her albums like "oh didn't have this yet"

I can see this happening LOL

[oaristos]

^ LOL

I actually hope she never read what people write about her here.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I would love if she sang About You

I also hope there's a crazy oiran memoirs of a geisha moment lol

[truehappiness]

Cherry blossoms and snow...

Then Ayu dramatically falling over. A rainy day/BALLAD-ish moment.

[krtman2002]

I want to listen to SAKURA live... It's the first time I'm going to an ayu concert and I want this song so bad....

Anyway, I think I'll be really happy just to see her live, so the tracklist won't be any problem, XD.

BUT! If she sings About you, Mirrorcle World, SURREAL and SAKURA, I'll be more than pleased with the tracklist.

[thinkingoutloud89]

It kinda sucks that she seems to forget about her songs so fast. I mean, I kinda understand it form my personal artist site: If I draw a picture I kinda dislike it after I've finished it. But music takes more to complete, yet she seems to treta it the same.

ediT: with a back catalouge like hers it can get messy very easy if you want to please the crowed, but she should give her own work more credit and theme her tours around her latest album with classics as addition and not the other way around.

[oaristos]

^ I agree. She has so many gems in her discography that I wish she could perform some of them live. I understand that she might not like them very much, but maybe that's because she has always been so fast to release new music so many songs are easily forgotten because probably she had no strong ties to them in the first place.

and I'd also love to see SAKURA live. It's one of the only tracks from LOVE again that I still listen to sometimes (alongside Wake me up and Bye-bye darling).

[thinkingoutloud89]

It is really simple. Namie shows that it works to ditch most of your classics. And her tours a fucking titled after the album, so it just should be the theme...it is there to promote it.

[SayukiChoco]

^I agree. Of course she should also perform some of her classics but there should be mainly new songs. I'm excited what the upcoming tour will be like, if she doesn't release an album before.

[Andrenekoi]

It wasn't until 2011 that she stopped having concerts named after her albums (and still, HLS was Party Queen tour and PSC was Colours tour, get over it), and even so we have official recordings of most of A One and Colours tracks between the arena tours, a-nations and cdls. Her only records that were neglected on live performances are GUILTY and LOVE again, both also notoriously failed and were released on anniversary years.

I'm glad she didn't release the new album yet... This may mean she won't axe new songs to sing classics on the tour of the year she is focusing on her classics.

[thinkingoutloud89]

^she never did perform a full album on a tour which I think is quite sad. Liar and Guilty are just examples. The CDL should be used for what she does in the Tours, not the other way around. PSC was pretty close and as such pretty cool (and so was HLS)

[RealLight]

^ She did. ARENA TOUR 2009

[thinkingoutloud89]

^oh you are right!

[njanjayrp]

How did GUILTY notoriously fail? XD

It broke her streak of number 1 albums, basically. Not talking about quality, but about sales.

You are complaining she doesn't sing enough new tracks on tour and say she should have tours closer to her cdls, but her cdls usually rely even more on older songs.

no, her CDLs tend to introduce newer songs which get cutted in the final tour. Or maybe I'm wrong. But I feel she should use her CDLs for her staple songs and performe all new tracks of an album at the tour.
