Result of the lottery is out. I couldn't get the ticket again T.T gosh, am I not going to see her? Hahaha
|
^ same here -_- deeply saddened as I was hoping one of my entries would at least go through.
|
I'm a bit afraid that the tickets are all sold out because of the fanclub and they're making a fool of us hauehauhe
|
gaaah I didn't win either of my entries either
|
Why didn't all of you join the fanclub? It seems like everybody got a ticket there and it wasn't that expensive...
|
I didn’t have money at the time. Was in between jobs so the little I did have was to cover expenses.

According to Apple Daily Taiwan , they wrote that Namie will be singing 20 minutes on Kouhaku which will be the longest performance done by a single artiste on the show o_O
Apple Daily Taiwan quoted their own sources from Sponichi Annex and they said it as so with this being Namie's last time performing on Kouhaku , she's treated like a VIP in this exception case https://tw.entertainment.appledaily....71220/1262639/ Sponichi Annex news article https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DRdRv6PVoAAjxAY.jpg:small https://twitter.com/sponichi_hanbai/...12578993733634 |
Yep, I saw that on another Japanese source as well, so it could be legit. 20 minutes would be amazing. Don't know how they'd have time for everyone else though. Or they can just cut a lot of the crap between the artists; that would be nice. lol
What's unclear is whether she will be in the hall with everyone. It sounds like the performance might be elsewhere. |

EDIT: was this warning there when we applied for the fanclub and FINALLY vouchers? *Please note that seat may be difficult to see the whole stage or part of the performance. I don't remember seeing this and am afraid they are saying this because the seats that were reserved for general sales are sh*t uhahuauh EDIT2: ARGH I CAN'T APPLY FOR THE TOKYO FINAL T^T since I applied before and didn't win they've blocked me :'( I officially hate my dad for the rest of my life. guess I'll have to wait for resales and pay like a thousand dollars for final's tickets? :'( |
I've been out of the J-pop/Namie loop for a bit. I did see an announcement on facebook a while back she was retiring but didn't take it seriously and thought it was a joke so I just scrolled past and went about my day. I had no idea it was true. I respect her decision and hope she feels it's the right one, but will miss her! Then I saw she had a new best album but had NO idea it would be as amazing as it is. Honestly, this is THE best best album ever, in my opinion of course, before y'all jump on me. I always had an issue with best albums as the majority don't seem to have that much new content, it's just reselling old songs - but the fact that each song on here was updated in some way, is absolutely amazing! I loved some of namie's older songs when she sung them live but had some issues with her vocals in the original songs - any issues I had are gone with these new versions, she did a fantastic job in each of them.
I mean, some of the resung songs on disc 2 seem pointless but I still appreciate the effort anyway. Also, the updated version of Dr. I enjoy much more than the original, like damn. I also enjoy all the new songs, "How Do You Feel Now?" being my favorite of the bunch. "Christmas Wish" is perfect for the holidays and already a classic in my eyes. :love I just think it's so interesting to listen to all these songs and listen to how they changed them, and how her voice is different. This is how you do a best album. Unfortunately I don't think many artists will do them this way, I feel like it must have taken so much time, effort, and money for all of this. I really respect Namie for putting this out as her last work. Congratulations to her for the amazing sales as well, very much deserved! |
@ Baco - doesn't mean you're in the fanclub & won the ticket balloting it means that your seats will be great
It all depends on luck . You could apply for the general ticket balloting & yet your seat might end up better than a ticket obtained from a fanclub Knowing that this's a Dome tour , it's hard to say as the venue's so big . It's different unlike an Arena , Hall & let alone a Live House venue |
My friend tried applying with my CD code, but didn't get a ticket either. Seems like a lot of people weren't successful with the CD codes.
Edit: Also, for those holding out hope, the most recent Hulu episode confirms that "Finally" is indeed her final album. So, unfortunately, there won't be any more new music from her ever again. |
I think the reason is that the CD lottery had more people entering than the fanclub lottery. So there was more competition which results in a lower success rate.
