Hey, I'm not saying you are. I'm saying that's what they were thinking.

If all the 16 year olds flew in from all around the world, and the venue had age restrictions, what would they be thinking? Yea, they would say "these teens really love Utada", OR "these teens are trying to make us break our rules and challenge our venue. That would mean for future shows we'd have to lower the limits, and that would mean we have to take out the bar, because parents are going to complain. We might lose that bar business that draws ppl to Chicago, and it might make us suffer during this recession..." That's what THEY ARE thinking. It's all about the money.

Also, with all the terrorism going on in the US, the US is cracking down on security and rules. It's not your fault.

But this goes for future concerts, not just you, but never go anywhere that you don't know everything about. That's when dangerous stuff happens. I'm saying that out of concern. I have had a cousin that flew in from the states and went to a concert, and didn't know about the background of the place. She didn't know it was a bar, and got shot. It was rap concert, which rowdyness is key to rock and rap...but just be careful, okay?

I had my father there, so they certainly wouldn't have any issues with my parents, but I understand it's the law and whatnot, even though I had someone over the limit accompanying me and the laws in Chicago are very different from those of other places, even within the U.S.

I see your point of view now, thank you for the concern :) I appreciate it! ^^ I'm so sorry about what happened to your cousin :( I didn't know . . .

But you know what? I heard she's coming back to the US and going to bigger venues with a wide variety of ages. She said that she got many requests to add more ages, and go to bigger venues, and have bigger concerts. This was more like a cofee-house show with lights. But a REAL venue, is going to be better. you might enjoy that MUCH MORE than a restaurant tour, no?

Wow where did you hear this from?
I actually like the live house shows. They're much more intimate and personal. But I guess that limits age and number of people... a big tour would be awesome also. I think IDJ should promote her more before that happens though.

I met Utada and I'm Japanese. Those are 2 reasons you're boring me with your blather and you study so hard to be a Japanese weeabo. Good for you

The only non-Japanese people who know Utada are the weeabos like you that worship anime and have this misconception on "Japanese culture".

What kind of empty soul do you weeabos have to try so hard to be something you're not? LOL

Anyways, this website has obviously no Japanese people on it besides me and 3-4 other people. I won't be going on this wannabe site anymore and go back to the Japanese sites where you weeabos can't read Japanese and annoy us with your wannabe Japanese bullcrap

So what?
Yes its a big deal & all but that doesn't make you better than everyone else.

Japanese was my first language, does that make me a American wannabe for studying and learning English? I think there are more Japanese studying English than Americans studying Japanese.
Everyone can like Utada and enjoy her music. Not only anime lovers. Plus, she was born in New York which makes her American as well. Having interest in other culture gives people more character and a broad mind. Its a whole lot better than being racist.

If you're not comfortable or satisfied with this fansite then you should stick to the Japanese ones...
I use both to communicate & interact with other fans, not to talk trash and/or offend people.
