You're so right!  Budokan 0731 was mostly filled with non-regulars.
Actually the people who I went with that night are just that.
I went with a family whose father is a fan of Seiko, 
whose mother is a fan of Shinji, and whose sons are a fan of Sayaka.
Nobody in the family owns any CD of Seiko.
So their reactions were pretty picky and selfish but Seiko succeeded in
making them so into her show by the end.
I witnessed all of them waving their hands to "Natsu no Tobira"
and "20th Party".  They enjoyed themselves pretty well and wanted to
come back next year.  That night Seiko made at least 3 new regulars.
