Have you checked your ticketboard account? If I remember from the past, your tickets are housed in one of the subsections of your account there, but one would think that they would have informed you via email that they were ready.
btw, since you are going to Nagoya it would be helpful to get a report from you afterward! Especially concerning how inflexible or not they were regarding checking people's ID's against the tickets. I've got a few Tokyo tickets that I would like to be able to give to some friends, but am at a loss for how to do that.
And totally different, but I just completely missed the whole Namie interview drama. I think orbitalaspect and voltron pretty much nailed it, but here is my condensed two cents.
All of what she said in the interview made total sense in context with her career and was pretty much what I suspected; nothing new. Also, many people seem to forget that her career did not begin when she signed to Avex; she was performing semi-professionally before she was even a teenager. That screams more parental pressure than actually choosing it for yourself.
There has also been a strong rumor that she got locked into a 20 year contract with Avex when she was a young teen; a lot of things sound great at that age that you then regret later on, hence her possible lack of passion regarding her career at times. It also would have been completely fitting for her to "retire" at 20 when she got married and pregnant, many many female japanese stars have been lost to that, but she stayed; that points to either A) that 20 year contract OR that maybe she does have more passion for what she was doing than you think.
All in all, I just completely disagree with the interpretation of that interview that started this drama.
