Just the fact that people decided that they would rather not see the concert shows a fundamental lack of interest/demand. And then the fact that the resale shops are having a hard time selling the tickets back to the public demonstrates that even more so.

If I were you, I would give up

You must have explained this a million times, let it go hon lol.

I know, I'm getting tired of it.

But then other people started bringing it up again and I'm easily baited haha.

But yeah, I don't think it means the tour is bad - I don't know, I haven't seen it yet. Just simply that people indeed seem to be less interested in it than in her past tours.

There could be a large number of reasons as to why people aren't going, lack of interest, other priorities... Maybe some sad lonely soul asked the girl of his dreams to an Ayu concert and she turned him down. Whatever the case may be, it is what it is and I think it's best to just let it go. Don't let them get to you

Maybe it would have the same demand as before if she hasn't added so many dates... (or even if the added dates after some time, so it would give people time to want to see it more than once xD)

Don't know about you, but if ayu perfomed here in my city once, I would like to see it... if she performed here twice on the same tour, I would love to see it twice... but if she would perform her 5 times on the same month, I would not go to all the concerts xD

... Maybe 4 out of the 5

I'll resell my last ticket

^ Would you resell it if you loved the 4 concert prior to it, too? xD

I would resell it to you so you could at least see it for the 3rd time lol. I'm generous like that

lmao.

AyUmIXx · #**109** 16th April 2009, 02:29 AM

but Ayu is not doing 4 times of concerts in one cities...
she will do twice for each cities right? or not i forgot~

hmm we can't really exactly know if AT09 is least demand tour because we're not living there...
there must be some reasons for avex or Ayu to have a long tour this year.. just we don't know exactly what is it..
some people will lack of interest of Ayu and some new people will watch Ayu.. it's come and go.. for that i know~

so yeahh.. let's just... talk about the setlist, the performances and everything....

Andrenekoi · #**110** 16th April 2009, 02:31 AM

Is more than that in some cities, I think...

AyUmIXx · #**111** 16th April 2009, 02:43 AM

^

yeah, i've checked.. she will come back for twice again in July and Oct for some cities..probably, there're some reason of why she does it again... I don't think that she will risk of having a lot of shows where ppl won't be coming at all.. hmmm~ we never really know.. hmm~~

i think only that this AT09 is kinda rushed.. Ayu should have started the tour at May...
since it's NEXT LEVEL, she needs to draw people using more interesting theme of stage and costume.. too bad there isn't enough time for her to create more interesting materials for NEXT LEVEL~
but i still do hope that she will have some changes for the upcoming tours~

waterballoon · #**112** 16th April 2009, 04:00 AM

Well, one reason why the tour may be extended could also be because she knows her costumes suck big time and having a long tour can let herself and her staff give feedback on her horrid costumes, allowing her to make changes if she has the time/wants to.

emi♡ · #**113** 16th April 2009, 04:03 AM

Seems EVERYTHING with Ayu is rushed this year.

Maybe we should give her two full years to come out with a new album and tour...therefore she'll have twice the time...and no one will ever say she's rushed.

Not only that...she'll be able to do TV stuff that's not awful and she'll look better because she'll be getting more beauty sleep

waterballoon · #**114** 16th April 2009, 04:25 AM

^ Precisely why my hopes of her releasing an album only on Jan 2010 were dashed and destroyed when NEXT LEVEL was announced.

jbrat2219 · #**115** 16th April 2009, 04:31 AM

^ Could you imagine the amount of singles that would be on it? It could be like a 20 track album with 10 single tracks 4 instrumentals and we'd still only have 6 new album tracks lmao.

waterballoon · #**116** 16th April 2009, 04:33 AM

LOL. I mean without the single-spamming ala I am... I suppose. It could be a lovely 16 track album with her beloved 4 interludes~ <3 Hahaha

jbrat2219 · #**117** 16th April 2009, 04:40 AM

^ 16 tracks, 4 single tracks, 2 interludes.

You know I was looking through the Deji Deji book and Ayu does recycle a LOT of things. I wonder if it's deliberate... Like she loves a particular costume and reuses it a lot just because she thinks she looks awesome... I don't think you could recycle so much stuff just because you have no time.

waterballoon · #**118** 16th April 2009, 04:43 AM

Well, I think Ayu isn't a person who keeps seeking for new things and then utilizing them (sometimes she does though). Most of them she *****s out things she loves.

Which explains why Kazuyoshi Shimomura is still around. Ugh.

jbrat2219 · #**119** 16th April 2009, 04:52 AM

Yeah she does. I don't really mind actually. Because it's not really about the costumes or props for me. It's her spirit! It's amazing! She exudes such a great spirit when she sings live, a great wave of emotion.

waterballoon · #**120** 16th April 2009, 04:53 AM

Yeah... mainly why many people like the Limited TA live concert.

And I can't wait to watch Load of the SHUGYO... more AyuxShu-ya please...
