the problem isn't just west coast-east coast US only. but add in the rest of North America, Central America and South America too. it may turn out to be as easy to go to one of two shows in Europe as only one for all of the Americas together. we're talking a lot of fans here in the western *hinterlands*.

but as hyde should/probably know/s, it would be easier for S.A. fans to have at least one show there and one N.A. due to travel/visa troubles. so many weren't able to come to VAMPS in 2009 and that made the Chilean show so much more important to achieve, or so it seemed to me.

and least we forget, the Aussie contingent is feeling pretty left out as usual from what i've seen. and Indonesians big time considering all of the major rumors that have been surfacing there for the last month or so. and back in 2008 too.

i guess it boils down to what we saw in 2008 L'7 and again with VAMPS World, not everyone can be satisfied and it isn't always about what the band would like but what they can arrange satisfactorily. and with L'Arc, that means a bigger venue to accommodate the type of show they want to bring to the world while Hyde on his own could go for smaller. so, even if they were sorta testing the waters a bit with Hyde, they still need assurances that they can at least come out even financially. especially as they have donated all profits from 20th to Tsunami relief.

sorry guys, maybe i over-think these things too much. i should just say NEW YORK!!! WOOT!!! and get on with it.
