Sorry if I don't share your point of view, but I still don't understand (and probably will never?) how it's considered "OK" to take crowded trains and buses every day for work, while the latest Koda Kumi's tour (with 2 shows in that same venue, Yoyogi Stadium) proved to be way safer.
I'll need the reasoning behind a concert being harmful, just like going to a beach or a mountain was forbidden in some countries and not going to the supermarket or train stations.

I don't need to take just any action just for the sake of taking an action : I need this action to be effective.
IMO, a concert with no audience is not a solution, because a concert with audience isn't a problem by itself, if things are done well, and they sure seem to be by Avex.
If I had the chance to go to this concert, I'd definitely go (just my opinion, no facts provided here).

Sending people into packed trains for school and work is an issue with the Japanese government, but should we let that be the excuse for more reckless, unnecessary events? Having concerts with no audience is the most responsible, humane way of going about a non-essential event in a PANDEMIC. Be glad we even have this option...

I definitely agree. This concert is non essential and just unnecessary. People can argue that seeing ayu live would cheer them up at a difficult time and I get that, I really do, but it's not right to put yourself and other people in danger just because you want to see one of your favorite performers live and get some mental relief for a short bit from everything going on in the world.

If you think that holding a concert right now isn't dangerous and "not that bad" even with safety precautions then I'd recommend educating yourself more on Covid-19. Like others have said, this is not a joke. This isn't people making a big deal out of nothing like they like to do sometimes. This is 100% real and people are losing their lives. All unnecessary events like this should not be happening.
