Why does Japan get so many shows?

I'm glad the Japanese fans get shows, but why so many? almost half the amount the whole of Europe get, for a country about the same size as Britain?

Is it all for the money and not the fans?

If I'm wrong, could all the Japanese residents who are NPGMC member please post a note to prove me wrong?

Reminds me of the Lovesexy shows, where it was all for money.

December is left for the whole Middle East, all of Asia, Australia, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Russia, Hungary, Czech, Greece, Turkey, Eygpt and all of Africa, Brazil, Agrentina, Mexico? Plus many more?

Ahum,
Japan (377801 sq. km) is bigger than Great Brittain, Holland, Belgium and Denmark together (36000 sq km). And there are more Japanese than these European countries together (126.5 milj and not even 100 milj in the European countries).

So if you look at the European concerts:
United Kingdom 5x
Belgium 1x
Holland 2x
Denmark 2x
Hamburg and Oberhausen because these cities are very close to Holland, Denmark and Belgium.

12 times in an area like Japan.
And don't forget Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Dublin, Stockholm, and Zurich. All also very close.



Japanese should aks: Why so many concerts in Europe?

Prince always liked Japan and the people over there love hin. He gave some great concerts over there and hasnĀ“t been there for quite some time. So why not?
See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star...

Going to Japan is expensive. He'll need to play a decent number of shows to make the venture worthwhile. Also, it has been ages since he last played Japan.

Hang on, you figure are completely wrong! There are 60 million people in Britain alone, 55 million in France and 58 million in Germany!?!?!

There are over 300 million in Europe, including the new countries...Slovakia etc.

No, it has nothing to do with population or money. He just feels more at home with our shorter oriental cousins lol
