As much as I hate them, AKB's numbers are because of their theaters, which only comports like 250 people and they perform like 3 days every week or something

I'm really glad ayu and kuu are still making bank. Even though their older fans don't really bother to buy their recent releases, they still seem to love to go to their concerts.

Yuzu – 426,000 attendees – 31 concerts

I didn't know they were this big (?). I only got to know them thanks to Hunter x Hunter 2011.

[Gossamer™]

DREAMS COME TRUE – 432,000 attendees – 9 concerts

[Kworb]

Surprised Ayu is still pulling pretty big crowds. Japan has so many stadium acts.

[Cheers]

Sandaime J Soul Brothers – 1,002,000 attendees – 21 concerts
EXILE – 988,000 attendees – 20 concerts

KINGS. A mess at JSB surpassing EXILE's popularity.

Most of it is actually Dome, which are about 35k to 55k. They even call it "Dome Tours". There are a couple of big stadiums that support ~70k and ~60k, but they don't use it for concerts that much I guess (I mean, it's just better to do 2 days at a dome, which is more comfortable for the crowd anyways).

Oh so that's how it is. No wonder their numbers are so low.

It's impressive to look at Ayu/Kuu concerts they always seem to be packed, both really seem to put a lot of effort on them so that's probably the reason why they're still going strong on that area.

I need LDH to announce wtf is gonna happen with Flower. I hope they get at least one vocalist 'cause I ain't here for Reina & the pussycat dolls.

[FantasyRide]

from what i've seen Ayu's shows are pretty amazing so i'm glad she's still a big touring force

[SummerTime]

The only time I appreciated the other Flower vocalists was when the
album version of Nettaigyo no Namida was released, that was truly atrocious.

They should just put Shuuka one or two of the performer girls to sing.
I mean they can't be that bad and it's not like they would get any more that 2 or 3 lines.

[Britneyfan09]

Amuro Namie – 425,000 attendees – 34 concerts
Hamasaki Ayumi – 358,000 attendees – 43 concerts
Koda Kumi – 244,000 attendees – 16 concerts

Still the Top 3 touring females despite each of them being in the business for 15 years or more. Slay girls.

Isn't that how it's always been. (and will be)

Even if they aren't as vocally great as Reina, they break the monotone and do the vocalization which is what makes their songs so great and not boring. If they go with Reina solo they're gonna have to abandon of poorly adapt their entire discography and it'll eventually end up sounding like Kana.

Chiharu's tone worked so well in the group, when she left it already made a difference. And I don't think Shuuka can sing at all, if she could they've put her to do it since she's the 2nd in popularity among the group.

Actually surprised people still go to see Godmie in concert when she's been serving nothing but arthritis and sweat
Guess the Queen's presence and heavenly vocals are enough to reel the crowds in

Did y'all see that Ayu had a meltdown on Twitter and gave her account over to her mgmt? The poor sis.

What was it over?

Apparently Namie teased in a radio interview she is planning to collaborate with an artist who delivers dance-pop bops. Checkmate 2.0 is coming

I think the new husband thing? Like he was living apart from her and they said he didn't like her, then he dropped out of med school to live with her and they said he was after her money

j-pop netizens are ruthless, although I do worry about her, she's so naive when it comes to men

I agree but I do want something different from this vocalist not another Reina accessory.
I feel like they can take it to another level with another real vocalist in the group. It seems unlikely
tho as all the attention is always focused on Reina.

That's true both of Chiharu's last 2 singles with Flower really took a hit when she left.
