I was surprised too! I think it helped a lot the choosing of the LED screen and the local band members, it probably reduced the overall costs a lot for all the logistics and accomodations/travels.
Also, with all data they got from the ticket bookings of the various expos, maybe they realized there were enough fans from Australia and New Zealand to hold a tour there. I will be busy too during that period, but i'm happy that Miku Expo is going to a completely new area!! ^u^
and about December.. mm.. usually is about Miku with You, but this year Miku with You is happening during these weeks, so it might be a resting moment for all the staff, or if I were to guess, they could choose some locations around Singapore, Indonesia or Thailand. And then, around february/march, complete the tour with a Japan Tour like in the past(●'◡'●)
(there is a talking session about Miku Expo during Magical Mirai in Tokyo, so if they're planning to announce something, they might announce it there
)
