HOWEVER, some people still took pictures afterward.

Also we're gonna get those scalper-y looking photos anyway. I wonder how those are taken tbh... the ones were usually get for early outfit reveals.

Since she said it was going to have some rare perfomed songs, I thought some from A BEST were going too (I know vogue is there, but I expected more).

Thanks! It's a great idea and a more modern approach.

That said, I think she should just lift the ban all together!

There is written that screen is invalid, but you can print it out, so it should be possible^^

When I had the worst seat ever - second floor, most distant row, I saw such sneaky photograher right next to me. He had some big camera and was taking a couple of shots real quick standing between aisles, then running away to other place, while no observing staff members were around.

[truehappiness]

Hm, that makes sense.

How did he get it in there though?!

On the whole, Japanese concerts try to avoid videos and photos compared to Western ones. I guess it's because they want to watch the concert as its happening and not through a device. In fact, we only really got a lot of pictures after the concert ended even though people took TONS of photos in those first 15 minutes or so.

I think he had a ticket, no? :-) And since they usually don't check bags, he could easily hide his camera. It's still a mystery how they don't get caught, I mean some running guy with big camera is hard to miss, right? Maybe they pretend to be staff members, or maybe it has to do something with yakuza, because police is doing nothing to stop illegal unofficial goods and photo sales outside the venues.

I also had my bridge-camera (which is not that small) in my big CdM bag with me inside the concert hall, noone checked my bag.

Wait, so evolution and SURREAL were performed in full, on their own?! OH GOD I HOPE SO

[truehappiness]

No, it seems it was just SURREAL~evo~SURREAL but without the initial SURREAL part so it started with evolution and then changed "back" to SURREAL where it would normally in the medley.

quality of photo is so good! why this person didn't try to make photo of ayu instead %)

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm IN AWE. SOOOO EXCITED for vogue, Endless sorrow, INSPIRE, and even glitter because it'll be summer and I know I'll love it! I hope she keeps all the summer upbeat songs, my boyfriend loves XOXO and Lelio cause they're EDM. haha

[maxikot]

Seems to be a really nice show. Can't wait for reports. Hayasaki went for today if i am right so he will be writing his impressions I'm sure pretty soon

[4Seasons]

When do you reckon we'll get pics of all the outfits? Tomorrow? TODAY? lol bad pun

[truehappiness]

Hm.. usually it takes a few days or so but we can get them as early as the show after if the guy who takes them is quick.
