PASSPO has been doing release events for Bachelorette since May and just finished a Osaka/Nagoya/Tokyo tour to promote it with 2 shows each time as well as more release events for the entire week it came out. Plus, kind of hard to get excited for another live when you anticipate more than half the audience to be rabid danso fangirls.
Also, any time a live/event starts at 6-7pm or earlier on a work day makes it more difficult for fans to get there.
I think they work/perform too much, especially after seeing Mio had both knees taped up pretty heavily recently.
A lot of it has to do with scheduling and how hardcore/free their fanbase is. Upga got pretty much blown out by BELLRING when they had a 2-man too. It was on a Tuesday and BLAZE was maybe 40% full? I think BELLRING has more fans who are students as opposed to Upga, who sway more towards working adults and then students?
With a ton of events always going on, DD fans can always be swayed to be somewhere else.
Even though idols are having longer careers and not all of them are immediately graduating once they hit 20, even the ones that aren't major probably get a lot of benefits they wouldn't have if they stayed "normal".
Watching the Idol Summit show from New Year's Day, I think Anya said one of the ways they get paid is on how many handshakes/cheki they sell? She's got a pretty decent amount saved up for a down payment on a house it seems.
Looks like they're having another talk show (with all members) at 2.5D studio Monday night too. So that means they've gone more than a week without a day off? Realizing how busy idols are and how many people they must meet daily, I don't even expect any of them to remember me, especially when I'm not one of those fans who go to most of their events.
