Update on the CD Lottery!

It goes from November 15th to December 17th. So plenty of time for anyone who hasn't received their CDs yet! You can only apply for one performance per CD Code. And you can ballot for up to 4 tickets per application.

I'll wait until the results of the fanspace lottery before I use my CD codes haha. praying I won't have to use my codes at all though

Also did anyone notice the backup dancers during the 1992-era are wearing her wedding announcement look? Same hair too haha.

I love the DoCoMo CM!

And those sales are amazing! It's great to see a female solo artist with sales like this again!

That DoCoMo CM is absolutely everything! :heart

They actually played the CM across the screens in Shibuya too! :D

Man, I wish I was in Japan during this promotion period.

Omg that is so freakin long LOL
the competition is going to be so intense.

Thinking if its even worth to just pay a 2000yen admission fee to Fanspace just for this LOLOL

^

It really is lmaoo. :tired

And if they take a week to announce the results, that means people have to wait even longer until around Christmas. For overseas people trying to go in February, that's not a lot of time to buy flights and prepare a trip lol.

I'm hoping that since the application period is so long... maaaaaybe that means she has a lot of tickets. :tired wishful thinkingggggg

So amazing! I caught this too haha.

Man , Namie's Docomo CM is way better than How do you feel now? PV itself +_+

This morning's Sukkiri!! coverage on the CM

Also I'm very surprised each person can ballot for up to 4 tickets . I thought it would be 2 given the huge demand

I don't know if this is on all the CD versions or just the fan space ones, but here is the message from the back of the CD in case anyone wanted to see what it was:

Thank you for your support over the past 25 years.

今日 は今までのことをぜんぶ話そう。
いっも言葉にできないこの思いを、 聞いて欲しぃの。
タイムマシーンなんていらない。
遠ぃ記憶だけどよみがえるから。
みんなの想ぃが今まで私の背中を押してくれたよね。
あの日あの時、

まるで奇跡のよぅな永遠に一度しかない日々、
あなたと童ねた日々を、

いま、 すぐそぱに感じて胸が熱くなる。

たゎいな く繰り返される gossip。

寝ても覚めてもふと した瞬間ですら` ハプニングも当たり前。
そんなの気にせず、 目を閉じてぃたんだ。

だけど、 行き場所のない気持ち押さえ切れずに、 眠れなぃ夜もぁった。
考えても分かんない時もあるって強がったけど、
１人じゃたえられそうもない日もあった。
不安に飲み込まれそうになって、 っまずぃて転んで、
でも、 泣くゎけにぃかなかったよ。

だって、 傷っくために生まれてきたんじゃない。


楽しまなきゃ生きてる意喋がない。

だから、 どんな時も諦めないで、
悲しみを強さに変えるように歌ぃ続けて、
今日まで越えてこれたんだ。

さあ、 この先がどうなるかゎからなぃけれど止まれなぃ。
止まってるヒマはない。

もう、 どんな試練が待ち受けてぃよう と

ときめきはなく さない。 誰の心も照らせる様に。
いっまでも I'll be there...

一緒ならきっと強くなれる。 be a Fighter.
だけど私もほんとはすごくないから。

素直になりたい。
飾らない言葉だけど、 届けたぃ。

心をこめて、 ありがとう。

出会えてよかった。

今夜からもどうぞよろしくね。
Can you Celebrate?


Hopefully it makes sense since I tried to pull the text off a photo I took with an automated program with minimal editing on my part.

^ Seems to be snippets of Namie's past song lyrics stitched together into one message:

http://guchiyama.com/champey/namie-amuro-finally/5461/

ah...I thought it might be something like that since I recognized a few of the lines, but I definitely don't know enough of her lyrics off hand that I would have recognized it as entirely lyric snippets lol

It's pretty cool that they were able to put them together to make a coherent and relevant message though

Website is in absolute chaos LOL

^

Ah, for tickebo? LOL

I can only imagine how much worse it is, now that the general public can apply and not just fanspace lool

Good to luck to everyone applying!

Is the fanspace ballot still a seperate website altogether or is it now combined? Any idea? I have half a mind to just spend 2000yen to get an earlier result LOL

They're completely separate! So winners of the fanspace lottery will only be fanspace members. And winners of the CD Code lottery will be... basically anyone who bought the album lool.

That means fanspace members do have an extra chance if they lose the fanspace lottery, since they can just apply again through the CD Code lottery.

If you don't mind spending the money to join fanspace, then why not! :laugh

^ I was actually just about to ask if you can apply to the same dates in both the fanspace and the general... thank you for pre-emptively answering my question! :)

ALARM holds steady at #18 (damn at SideM's 1st day sales behind Kanjani∞ o_O O_o)

Also , Finally holds steady at #1 , selling 48,273 copies

If you are balloting for more than 1 ticket, what other information do you need from the other accompanying ticketbo members?

I just joined fanspace goodness...LOLOL and they dont allow same day balloting so im going to try tomorrow

The people you're going with need to have registered for tickebo and you need to provide the email address associated with their tickebo account before you can even complete your lottery application.

To those who have bought tickets to see Namie through tickebo before--have the rules always been this stringent (i.e. did you always need to tell them who else would be coming with you before they'd let you apply)?

Namie is gonna block Kana lol
