Empress of J-Pop to withdraw from Japan, and focus on the US and Europe [Theory] - Page 11

Why are you scared of the flop? I would be pride if she had the bravery enough to go out of Asia. It's too easy just sit down in your throne with your crown and let people love you, while outside of this dreamland (Asia) it's so diferent.

Altough I don't think she will be releasing any English album, a world tour will be... amazing, I'd realize my dream...

Panda87, SunshineSlayer, Noidea, and Mimi.chan...

I agree with you 100%

Spoiler:

I hope this is a ridiculous rumor

Ps.- I also agree with Coelacanth, Socrazy, beauty4321 and Furushubakku

and this is just a theory only ayu knows if its true

Since we basically deduced that this was fabricated by a Chinese-thing and.. yeah... not very true at all.

I'm sure if Ayu read it she'd look like this:

I'd like her to perform here at least once or twice though.

I would rather her stay in Asia, but a few performances in the US will be the best thing ever, I agree

No sane person would say no to a EU/US tour, after all many jrock bands do it.

Kazeyomi · #**208** 16th July 2009, 11:30 PM

^

Jrock / Visual Kei bands has more impact in Europe.
I dunno why, maybe 'cause they looks cool or 'cause teenagers loves omgilistendifferentmusici'mbetterthanyou.. but a jrock band would be more succesful than a jpop artist.
Even if is famous as Ayu, Hikki, Namie or Kuu. The jrock fanbase seems more huge than the jpop one.

I would be happy if Ayu went to comic convention, like the Anime Expo! It's guests was famous, like Kana or Nana Kitade.

every otaku knows her, for remixes, for songs, for her image

so.. a little concert during a comic convention should be great IMO.

SunshineSlayer · #**209** 16th July 2009, 11:34 PM

^ That would be a big step down for her imo.

Raleigh · #**210** 16th July 2009, 11:44 PM

Hmmm... why do I feel the media is blowing this out of proportion? Sure Ayu spoke about some big decision but well... she does have a tendency to make things appear more exciting sometimes (or we expect too much) Somehow I doubt avex is planning to make her go big in Western countries especially since her English isn't that great to start with and the latest attempts proved to be not so great.

I have a feeling it'll be something more simple like her going back to acting or opening some shop.

^ ayu would never act again, she hates acting

A step down yes. But if she wanted to start a career in the US( not saying she is, not saying I want her to, and not saying she would do this) She would have to step down just like BoA and Utada and every Asian artist coming to America have.

Would you act again?
When I was doing it, I hated it. It wasn't fun. Just exhausting. If it was under the right circumstances, though, the right project with the right people who'd make an effort to understand me..

Its not so much she hates it per se, she just hated the acting she did before A Song for XX. This interview was before Voyage was released I believe.

^ ah, sorry, seems my memory wasnt complete, late at night already xD

micster · #**217** 17th July 2009, 12:26 AM

I reckon if she did an anime tie-in song then EU/US audiences would know her a lot more and be more accepted. Maybe.

Evolution7/4 · #**218** 17th July 2009, 12:35 AM

^yeah that or video games. Thats how Utada got recognized and she does have the Inu Yasha tie ins which got her recognized by many.

most of anime shows have artists from sony sing for openings or endings. or so i've noticed with the artists that i listen to from sony. it's mostly bands or pop/rock artists, too. so i don't think ayu will have an anime tie-in anytime soon.

but inuyasha had all avex artists sing for it, though. so that's why ayumi sang dearest for it. it had something to do with avex's anime sub-label "avex mode".

noidea · #**220** 17th July 2009, 12:39 AM

hmm...now that you say it...Sony artists really get tons of tie-ins for animes, even HIGH and MIGHTY COLOR had them though they sold really poorly with everything post-Ichirin no Hana
