^ It was a shame there were no goods, I would've liked to buy something, an album at least or something. I still had to fly to New York, but it was a very short flight and my friend lives very close to the Sony hall, so I was able to both see friends and save on accommodations, which is good since I did two trips to Japan earlier this year to see Namie and Ayu and that cost more than I'd like to admit haha. I think I missed seeing ken in Japan by about a week, so when you posted about the New York Live I was very excited.

It was interesting though that most of the attendees actually flew over from Japan to see him in New York. I spoke to a whole bunch of people and they said like 90% or more of the VIP ticket holders were fan club members from Japan and they sold out (by lottery) in minutes. A Japan tour company actually organized a trip from 3 major airports: Narita, Haneda and Osaka. But the venue was great. I was near the back but still close enough that he walked right in front of me and I was able to tap him on the shoulder
