I'm going to their concert next week!!!

Theyre performing at Nippon Budokan!

My God! It was difficult to get tickets. But , my friend ended up buying a ticket for me online and I had to play twice as much. But, it'll be worth it. I can't wait!!

omg you are so freaking lucky!!!! i'm so jealous!!!!! hey if you can take a lot pics or videos!!!

Oh man, so lucky! ^__^
Yes, if you take pictures and/or record videos, please post them around here.
Have lots of fun and make it a memorable day!

Freaking awesome! How much did it cost you, oonter? Good luck! If you'll have stuff to share, don't hesitate.

Someday!

You are so lucky.

The original cost of the ticket is 5,500 Yen. I waited at the Lawson ticket machine until 10am when the tickets went on sale. They sold out in under 1 minute.

I tried looking on Japanese Auction sites but none of them would accept my foreign credit card. On top of that, I heard it's really difficult for a foreigner to obtain a Japanese credit card. So, my friend was kind enough to buy the tickets for me with her card. I paid 12,000 yen. Damn scalpers!!!

But, I'm really happy I'll get to go!! It's not a good seat according to her, but I'll be sure to take lots of pictures

you are so lucky!!! i wish i was you rite now!

please take a lot pictures and stuff. I'd really want to see!

@ oonter
so it makes around $140 overall, right? Well, it's not cheap but I was afraid there would be more... I wish so hard I could go there too, but... oh well.

Good luck to you once again and enjoy the concert!

140$ not bad at all...i would even pay more than that just to see them close-up live...you're a very lucky man.


Someday!

I just got back from teh concert and now Im at an internet cafe.

Unfortunately, photography is prohibited at the Budokan but I took pictures outside that i:ll post later. The concert was AWESOME and energetic. Kiyoe`s on-stage personailty is as cute as she is. And I have a new found appreciation for Yoshiki. He is hilarious and just seems like an all-around cool guy!!!

The songs they sang...
Opening: "Sakura" and Hajimari no Uta

Not in any specific order:
Joyful (most energetic song, the whole crowd was dancing along)
Yell
Nakumonka
Mahiru no Tsuki
Akizakura
Tenohira no Oto (My favorite performance)
Mirai Wakuse
Kimagure Romantic
Blue Bird
Kaeritaku Natta yo (my favorite song)
Kira Kira Train
Koisuru Otome (Acoustic)
Hot Milk

Closing: Akaneiro no Yakusoku

Encore: Kimi ga Iru, Arigatou, Uruwashiki Hito, Ashita e Mukau Kaerimichi (Acoustic)

Cool! I like the list of songs...I knew camera's are not allowed but i still hoped that somehow you'll be able to sneak the cam inside...but that's fine. Waiting for the outside pics...just wish i can also see Kiyoe's kawaii face.

i still can't get over it. but damn you had an aweosme time over there. i'll be waiting for the uploads

Cool do you know whether the show was recorded or not? I guess not... but I hope for a "yes"...

wah... i really envy you. see those lists seems there're many songs that seldom used full band..... i really really envy you....

i still wish i was u rite now.
i hope you can post those pictures you took soon...
please!

I was sitting on the right side of the stage on the 2nd floor. It was a nice view for a far seat but I couldn't see her face unfortunately.

Good question....There were cameras set up all around teh arena but I think it was for the purpose of having a live feed on the big screen for ALL to see. Like I said, It was hard to make out her face....(hee hee hee)

I hope it was recorded for a DVD, it would be awesome to watch it again. The DVD from their last album is from a show in Tokyo that I was trying to go to last year.

The concert was REALLY long now that I think about it. I looked through their discography to try a remember the songs sang. It seems like a lot after all. The whole concert took 3 hours. They also did two 15 minute segments of talking to the audience. Funny stories from the tour, places they went to, Yoshiki gaining 7kg then losing 4kg all from eating on the road, Yoshiki and Hotaka meeting the Yoshioka family and Kiyoe being woken up by a monkey or something. Then some serious talk. It was all great.

I'm working on getting those pictures uploaded but my internet is HORRIBLY HORRIBLY slow..... It makes Dial-up look like Broadband. I'm not joking.

waaauuwww..........,, cool...........,, You're so lucky,,,!!

after concert was finish.., are you try to meet them???
go to back stage..........,,
or whether it was impossible??????
