I think they mostly would want to avoid confrontation at a concert so if they were gonna say anything it'd be afterward even if they had a problem.

No need to be rude. You are talking like I was screaming like crazy, which is far from reality.

I’d say common sense and being aware of your surrounding is the key

I was at the Cirque de Minuit concert at Yoyogi back in 2015. I had my seat on the second row from the stage, and EVERYONE was screaming AND singing almost all the time (of course not in the ballad section, except wording out or quietly singing, but that just fits the mood). Even Japanese people. In my opinion it depends completely on your seating location and how the people around you are acting. You kinda get the general vibe of things when you’re there, and go with the flow

That's also my experience, singing along loud isn't a problem if you don't overdo it.
Maybe most Ayu fans are stricter in general though.

I'm glad I can watch her shows from home then. lol

hayasaki · #**426** 13th February 2018, 04:15 AM

it actually depends in the surrounding seats. I noticed that people in arena seats are more reserved and behaved based on my experience. Whereas we were really partying hard in the stand the last two concerts I attended at. i remember there were two Japanese teenage girls who were like having their own production number on their seats and singing back in made in Japan tour looool. As for me, i usually sing just in lower volume whenever i attend unless Ayu asked everyone to sing and I’ll be like girl gimme my mic!!

I usually just like to sing the “whoah whoas” “la las” and “yeah yeahs” like in evolution, STEP you, Mirrorcle World and Boys & Girls. But then again I’m not much of a vocal singer, I prefer to just mouth the words. I love dancing though so I suppose it might be tough for someone who loves to sing along to stifle themselves cause if someone told me I couldn’t dance I’d be like fuck off.

Well when I saw her back in 2010 for RnRC people cried and yelled when she first arrived (me too), it was crazy! But then, during the main show people were really quiet. Me too but I think it's because I wanted to see everything and listen to Ayu with attention.
The encore part was crazy again, you know with B&G, Sunrise... people sang, it was so much fun!!
I was at the second floor at Yoyogi.

I attended the two first dates of CdM Tour and it was my frist time seeing Ayu live. To be honest, I was surprised with the japanese audience because I've been hearing that they are very quiet during the concert and not much engaging but it was the opposite. When the buzz in the beginning started ringing people just went crazy (me as well) and when ayu appeared it kept the same for a long minute (even when she was singing). Of course during the ballad songs people were just paying attention but during 1 LOVE everyone was crazy, screaming and waving. During The Show Must Go On I was singing my heart out and jumping lol The japanese girl on my side even get into my vibe and started jumping as well. lol

The screaming at the beginning and when Ayu appears seems normal xD

Sooooo now the wait begins for the results, one week to go *excited*

Yeah, same thing here when I saw Ayu for the first dates of JTB last year. I'm not sure why everyone's saying Japanese people are super quiet during concerts? Because people went IN. Even like 10 minutes before the show, people were chanting with their friends spread across the arena for Ayu to come out. And during songs like WARNING, evolution, You & Me, etc. people were singing, jumping, dancing, and bopping with the light sticks. I actually had a really hard time keeping up with their energy, lol. Same thing when I saw Kuu at her W FACE Tour last year - that crowd was WILD af, everyone was standing and jumping. I go to a lot of pop concerts and I've rarely seen ones that lively over here in America.

It doesn't matter. If you're standing right next to person, even if you're singing calmly, it's very evident and very irritating.

Same here^^ I am going to both dates with German friends that live in Japan, we can make a German fan meeting there xD

Earth_maiden · #**438** 16th February 2018, 07:16 AM

I personally noticed a big difference between regular concert days and "filmed" concert days. People cheer louder, they're more expressive and they stand the entire time. On a non-filmed day most people would sit down during the interludes and not be as loud. I sat down during an interlude on a filmed day and got quite a few dirty looks. XD

So you're going only for the concert to Japan or are you planning a holiday as well?
