[article] Too costly to stage Ayumi?

[voltron]

Honestly, I think a lot of you are being really naive in your complaints. Ayu is, above all else, a business. She can't just do a smaller concert, because she'd still lose money. In the past she said the reason she didn't want any Asian tours is because she would want all of her own staff, but it's incredibly expensive to transport and house them all in a completely different country. So the fact that she's going anywhere other than Japan right now is pretty amazing.

A smaller concert just wouldn't bring in enough revenue to justify the costs that would be spent on it.
