Someone from the USA could adopt us, dillpops. And then we could go there XD God, I wish she could come to Europe, or better, she could come close to Portugal :( That's the disadvantage of living in the end of the world.
Maybe someone can record the concert. And then we will be happy :D

I would be so embarassed if she came to the UK, the UK anime scene is soooo horrible! I have this gorgeous town hall near me, its victorian and HUGe. It has a massive original 19th century pipe organ and galleries and chandeliers and the council rents it out for private venues. I always think it would be awesome to see Yoko & friends perform there. Maybe one day :?

Don't cry! :(

Did not Maaya go to London, Paris... or somewhere to record some of her songs?

In one video she is just casually going here and there; but the point is that she probably will return to do more work, so maybe its just a question of keeping an eye out for her around the corner! XD

The end of the world?... Portugal? haha, never saw it that way. I feel everywhere is far away, bee it Europe or Japan :p

I'm afraid a concert or an european tour won't be profitable. Maaya is not a well known artist in Occident. So I think the only chance for us (european people) is to keep an eye on the next time she came for record an album and wait for her at the studio door. :D

Chibi, you're lucky. BD is not very far from Dallas. Give her a kiss on behalf on me. :lol:

Hmm thats not true...the fact is that its very cheap to do small venues in the UK, as long as you fill them you can make profit, of course she'd probably have to be over here at the same time recording, I mean she has been to scotland and london before to record, quite a few times so......and there are a lot more UK fans than you would think...

That reminds me of Mai Yamane who went to France for a concert a few years ago... Maybe Maaya will do the same someday! :D Well, that's the same for me, because I don't have money to go there, but there are fans in Europe who could. Gotta have hope.
I'm going to threat someone who's going to record the concert at least... :lol:

Wah, that's so not fair... *currently shivering in Canada*

I hope people who do go write detailed reports about the concert, etc. If I can't actually go, I can live with reading about the experience (I think!). Too many people seem to attend music performances at anim
