Is assistance seats? I have no clue what "assistants" means, and judging by the phrasing it is seats. The only other thing I can think of is Orchestral assistants but I've never heard of those being used for concerts, just musicals.

(If assistants is number of seats) I'd fact check that one. My boyfriend, when he was working in Washington D.C., invited me to go see Lady Gaga on tour last year in the Kennedy Center. I just looked it up - it's max capacity is about 2,000 seats. I looked up two other places on that tour and Lady Gaga's venues were about 6-7k. One look at Miku's 2016 venue in LA showed me she's also getting 7k seats. Lady Gaga most definitely isn't "unknown" at all, so if she's getting the same sized venues at Lady Gaga that's something.

And no, a comparison to last year's Miku concert, the venues are roughly the same sized, and in some cases, like the NYC concert, are the exact same venue. I'm not bothering to look at her Japan tour because we're discussing American popularity, but a few Google Searches debunked that one.

And yeah, Miku isn't a giant thing in the US, but I wouldn't call her microscopic either. I'd give her a happy medium, and I'm proud that she can get these sized venues even if I don't really like Miku too much. Rooting for VOCALOID to get bigger personally.
