>>72174139because they need EN in japan to prerecord a concert
unless fauna is skinwalking this time, they definitely didn't have enough time to do it this trip
so that's 15 talents x $4k flight tickets and accommodations cover needs to eat the cost of just get started talking about recording. not to mention the production costs and salary of the support staff. And also the opportunity costs of having all the talents not streaming for a month.
they usually only sell like 10k tickets. Say including merch they profit $100 pp, then that's just $1 million profit per concert. after the cost to rent out a stadium for a night, i would say they are probably only barely breaking even.
