Well, there's your problem!

ETA: Seriously, though, I really doubt the lack of ticket availability has much to do with the new song. I've had the impression for a while now that Ringo has a built-in fanbase of ~50,000 people who would probably go see her every year even if she never released another new song. I probably would...

OK, you got me.

Though I never will truly understand that impulse. This is a woman who played a kazoo through a megaphone, and it was pure gold. Yet people just want to see her trip?

I don't understand the fascination with the fall it wasn't a big thing, I think her shoe got caught in some chords, she stumbled a little, uki helped her back up and they kept doing their thing. It wasn't her first goof, it probably won't be her last, but she didn't seem to get hurt so that's most important

And I actually wouldn't be surprised if "the coke song" got her some newer fans it's a very nice, chill song that I've not seen anyone bad mouth, but maybe it's all happening on hidden accounts

More importantly though, she puts on a hell of a show so I'm hoping everyone in/coming over to japan can swing a ticket it'll be nice seeing her in a smallish venue!!

Depends what you want I suppose. I just hope this new tour is not expo style but I dunno, she's pretty far gone into that whole shtick nowadays, and the festival shows were pretty lame...

If you do like that/haven't gotten bored of it yet then go for it!

Honestly I found the time she accidentally threw her mic across the stage during JL005 to be funnier than falling over. That's just me tho.

^ ia with that. I've seen her have to sprint back to the mic, but never outright throw it down. Bummer though, cos it was my favorite part of the song, and I thought she sounded best at the Fukuoka show I half think that they made the professional academic disc just to give us a taste of that one...

Also, yea I guess what you dig from her shows determines your experience/excitement levels, but toutaikai was way different from the recohatsu live was really different from expo 14/15 (as far as I think anyway), so I expect this upcoming show will be quite different as well

I was scrawling ticket message boards and saw someone looking for two tickets to a show after their 5th grade daughter saw a CM(not sure if kamisama CM or matsuri CM) and became a fan so she wants to see Ringo live now ( ;_; ) I'm inordinately moved by this story... I hope they get tickets! (I also hope I get tickets...)
