Ayu ended coronavirus!

[LONJJONG]

WHAAAAAATTTTTT???????

[Aisha_Angel]

Is this for real, for real?!!!

[Chris85]

Wait, what?! Out of all times to do this she chooses in the middle of pandemic one?

[Xianghua]

I can’t wrap my head around this from even a logistics standpoint.

First, you need to take a PCR 48? hours before the flight and that needs to be negative.

Then, you need to quarantine for 2 weeks when you get to the country.
Then you quarantine for 2 weeks when you return to Japan.

And this needs to be done for EVERYONE. Ayu, dancers, musicians/back up vocals, support staff.....

I know it’s in the fall but we don’t even have a full laid out vaccination plan. They JUST started rolling out vaccination for the elderly.

[dumbellz]

I don’t understand either but I suspect she is touring in China only, there are so many restrictions for other Asian counties like Singapore for example.... and some countries are too dangerous

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I have hope that she includes Australia and New Zealand in this.... OMFG IT WOULD BE THE DREAM

It will remain a dream.

[alternarist]

Ok so which is the safest country in Asia?

I would say Taiwan and China so far. Maybe Hong Kong but I'm not sure about their restrictions too. Manifesting for a Singapore leg since we still have about 5 more months till Fall!!

And you're also not part of Asia :-)

[pop909]

All these comments kill me!!! This is amazing - the later in the year the better.

[Aderianu]

Vaccinated people also need to stay in quarantine?

[Evan Odinson]

Yes, being vaccinated doesn't mean you can't get or transport the virus, so if the place where you live goes under quarantine you also need to stay at home, I'm already vaccinated but we had to go back to quarantine last week and I can only go out to get the second dose next weekend lol (people with all the doses can't go out either) but if there's no quarentine a live show with only vaccinated public is possible, The Weekend and Miley Cyrus' Super Bowl shows had only vaccinated audience earlier this year!

Taiwan, we already got concerts from Jolin a few months ago, and she's having 5 more concerts in two weeks. I couldn't get tickets tho

[~angel*ayumi~]

South Korea is also Covid free?

[kendelle]

South Korea reported 700 cases today which is low for the population but not eradicated.

Would laugh if she ends up in New Zealand but somewhat hopeful she might touch down in Australia even for just a single show? I would even consider setting foot in NSW for that lol

[ayu_fantasy]

Is this for real??? But how is this even feasible, with this pandemic??
