Yes, I think same, that is more important that one tour u.u, they can add the dates in other month, the most important now it's that everybody is ok

[TeeMo]

That's really bad.. Hope Ayu won't get sick..

[Ayumiko]

that kinda sucks...but its a good idea to cancel.

[yoshino]

aww. wat a pity..

thanks for the news.

[Chef+Vanny]

glad that ayu can rest during that period of time

[kendelle]

Geeze, that's not good news. I hope everyone has the chance to come to the make-up concerts! o__o;

I would be so bummed if I'd gone to Japan and only had one chance to see a concert that I then missed! ;__;

[duque]

o well..i guess this sucks...but the up side is that ayu is going to rest XD

avex is cursing now.

But Ayu and everyone else's health is extremely important as well, so yeah.

[LacusClyne]

the last thing i heard yesterday was that it had become a outbreak in japan, Osaka was hit and Tokyo is no better. My supervisor said that there are at least 100 cases there now.

and i'm workng in the airport where i will come into contact with people from japan, there are at least 8 flights from and to japan from my terminal....I saw so many people in masks yesterday.

It looks like they made the best decision given the circumstances, I'm proud of Avex. They might miss the money but Ayu/Kuu/Ai are money making machines, Avex wouldn't want to risk their health, especially with this flu.

[ll moments ll]

it's sad to hear the Swine Flu outbreak has effected some avex concerts. but yeah, i think it's better to cancel them if the outbreak's getting worse.

Johnny's has cancelled the Kansai Juniors concerts. i'm assume they're going to re-schedule KAT-TUN's Osaka Dome concerts since those are next weekend. KANJANI8's not in Osaka until July. they're in Sendai next week.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I hope they do the tour in Osaka some other time during this year then

[AyumiBest]

At least Ayu will get some rest.

[chloeM]

Osaka? damn... hope ayu won't get all sicky...

[Handjan]

I hope everything will be ok and Ayu gets some rest

[rusuke]

I think avex just did the right thing to cancel any concerts.

Thanks for sharing!

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

what would happen if it spreads all over Japan?? every single concert would be canceled, not more ayumi tours in a while

[tinka69]

lol i just recovered from the flu a little while ago...ugh...it sucks.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

it's especially scary for me, being in Japan and all...I mean granted I'm in Tokyo...still...I mean, it seems like Japan is having the fastest spread of this :-\ Especially since the country is so small and the population being so big. People travel between Tokyo and Osaka all the time, especially for business. And add in the fact that the people of Japan depend IMMENSELY on public transportation such as trains, taxis, subways and buses.

Ugh, i'm scared :-\

[Meat Pao]

^Oh dear, I hope you take care of yourself!

It's better for them to cancel, I guess, since even if they continue the concerts nobody would probably wanna go anyway
