When CDJapan 1st started this proxy service , their charges were very high & EMS was the only shipping option available

Glad to see they have made adjustments

Wonder if her 100th thread will be the last

I don’t think so as I’m sure we will continue to listen to her music, watch her lives, and discuss her. The threads won’t fill up as fast.

By the way, for those considering ordering the photobook through a proxy service, you might want to be quick about it!

7net has a 3 copies "per person" limit, and I think that extends to proxy services as well. I initially tried using FromJapan's proxy, but they ended up cancelling my request because they had reached the limit already.

[lfe.]

Been busy the past weeks so pretty behind, but yeah the QR codes for the tickets are typically sent out a couple of days before the event. You must present the code on your cellphone or they won't accept it. Even if you present codes for you and your friend, they won't allow that either. Each person has to show their QR code on separate phones.

For those that have attended her February shows, were they pretty thorough with the ID checking? Did anyone notice people in line having issues with the ID checking? I know they offered the resale system for those with guests that can't attend, but it doesn't really give people a chance to give their spare ticket to another friend or family member. My 2nd ticket was registered under a family member who isn't going, so now all I can do is forfeit that ticket back into the lottery. A lot of fans on social media are in the same boat as me, begging to be allowed one transfer of their tickets. Maybe I'll call tickebo and beg to be allowed to transfer my 2nd ticket to my friend. Worst thing that can happen is they say no.

Also, not sure if people meant that the crowd energy was pretty dead for a Namie retirement tour, but in general Japanese people are very well behaved for concerts. They stay quiet and don't make noise while the performances are going. Theres some cheers and yelling in the little breaks in between and when they realize what song is starting from the background music, but mostly its just applauses. The only real noise they make is at the beginning of the show and the interlude between the concert & encore screaming chants of NAMIE.

Also

Has anyone bought tour goods from fanspace yet? They didn't let me complete the order because I left Chinese Name blank, but I did fill out my name in Katakana. Can I just put my Katakana name again for Chinese Name?

Also



I've seen these before, I remember male fans wearing them at the Live Style 2016 concert I attended. HAS ANYONE SEEN THESE BEING SOLD ONLINE??? I really really want one

When I went, they checked ID twice. One set of staff were at the entrance of the gate, checking your ID and (I'm guessing) to see whether or not it's expired. After that, you move onto the second set of staff stationed at the door who will scan your QR Code and verify that the name attached to the QR Code matches with your ID before they let you in. There was also a large sign at the entrance of every gate listing out all the acceptable forms of ID and that everything must have your picture and must not be expired. So I think they were pretty thorough.

Do they give you a printed ticket or something to know where you seat?

[Shukumi]

No printed tickets! When you download your QR Code image, it actually tells you your seat number right under it! Although without a map of the dome, it's hard to know beforehand where exactly you'll be.

SOLD OUT T.T

[KarenPang]

^ it's not sold out technically cos GIFT is still available for preorder on 7/11

https://7net.omni7.jp/detail/1106867065

I guess CDJapan didn't have a 'stopped preorders' option

@ lfe. - my friend is not a fanspace member but she was able to help me buy namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ goods online as she has a ticket board account . Maybe you want to try doing that instead ?

Also regarding the behaviour of Japanese fans in concerts , I think it depends on the artiste & also the venue itself . I was physically pushed/shoved & the 1st time when that happened , I was caught off guard and I was so worried that I will get trampled on

Luckily I was more prepared subsequently

[thirduniverse]

I'm admittedly not all that familiar with proxy services, but is there any way to still go about purchasing the photo book?

YES! They checked very meticulously. They scanned my QR code and it took a few tries until the scanner read it properly, then they checked my name on my passport letter by letter very carefully.

Yep, beside the NAMIE chants and the clapping along to the beat and after each song, the only enthused engagement was during Chase the Chance and You're My Sunshine when we got to sing along with the 「Just Chase the Chance!」 and 「Yo!」which was mixed enthusiasm (could be wrong, I wasn't really paying attention to everyone else as I was fully into it)

Exactly right. I actually freaked out a bit because they didn't send the QR code until about 45 hours before the show started so I thought maybe there was a problem with my ticket.

[freedreamer]

Seriously though...

are they ever gonna ship out the badges after deciding to Put 'Em Up for order???

it's been 3 freakin' weeks since I paid and my order is still "Under shipping preparation"
