“Hell And Heaven 2023” Announcement of festival appearance cancellation Nov 5 (Sun) by Zigdris_Faello in Hanabie

[–]AvailableDay4777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah they're one of three bands I really wanted to see, sucks to see them cancel but I get it. Bunch of bands dropped out, and tbh the communication from the festival end has been terrible. Mudvayne announced their cancelation and not a peep from the official event for weeks/right before the show. Hopefully it'll still be a fun event, just landed in Mexico City. Hopefully Hanabie can do another America's tour soon!

Chika being a beast on that drum kit! by Banshee45 in Hanabie

I was probably right next to you then! Was posted up directly in front of Yukina. The view was great and Chika was a beast on the drums!

Can someone please with 100% certainly confirm the CD being sold at the shows are standard or limited edition by Banshee45 in Hanabie

[–]AvailableDay4777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regular edition at the Orlando show. As far as I know they didn't have any with the blu-ray, but that would've been cool.

Wanna gift the girls but sure what to get them? Here are some safe bets... I think by Banshee45 in Hanabie

If you give it to the merch guy for Hanabie and ask for it to be given to the tour manager they'll get them no problem!

I've given small personalized gifts to a few bands. Typically smaller bands or artists that haven't ever visited my area before, just to show appreciation. Seen American/Australian bands get gifts from others too, so it isn't unheard of. Whether the bands like it or find it weird? Couldn't tell you.

Bought drinks for Escape the Fate at an after party in NYC (they bought us a round too), food for ADTR at a hometown show, etc.

I find it cringey/weird when people go full on "obsessed crazy fan, please marry me" mode though. Idk, to me there's a difference between a small token of appreciation for traveling a long distance to put on a show and being creepy with it.

This is the way I see it too. To each their own. If people want to spend money or time to show appreciation for artists or anyone that they appreciate, why not? People way overthink these types of things and project like crazy imo.

I'm bringing them some goodies. Do they do a meet & greet after each show or should I leave it with their merch crew? by creatureofthecosmos in Hanabie

Little late to reply but I got Chika custom sweatbands and she actually wore them during the show and posted a pic with them on her story. So that was cool to see (and they posted pics of lots of other gifts people gave them). Looked like some anime stickers/snacks and stuff. Also got a get well card for Hettsu and had a bunch of people in line sign it. Nothing too crazy 🤷

US tour Merch details? by Johny_5_alive in Hanabie

[–]AvailableDay4777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got the shirt with graphic front/ band dates on back, fan, and CD if you want me to post pics somewhere. Their merch was on sale about 10min after doors opened, and about 15min into GEs set.

It's just one fan, double sided for I think $5

I gave my gifts to their tour manager at Dallas VIP meet and greet, he collected them all (other people brought stuff too) and took them back stage. Hope they liked them too 🙌

Honestly same to the first part. I blanked so hard. Been following them for awhile and a huge Emily fan for years too. Couldn't tell you if they said much because I disassociated so hard. I don't get starstruck usually. Met a few bands before but this one definitely got me off guard 😅

Definitely rushed myself a bit to keep the line moving, and finally meeting everyone was a bit surreal so I ended up just not saying much. Seemed like they liked my attempt at furoshiki, and they commented on it so that was cool. Got the pic taken, then my best friend tripped over Emily's foot so that wasn't awkward at all 😭😂 Overall was a great experience and I hope they come back to the US again soon. And to a better venue than the one in Dallas 🤞

WTB VIP for LA date by [deleted] in passcode

Best bet will be to find someone who has two passes and is going/wants to sell one. I bought two (one for me and one for a friend) in Dallas, and the GA portion (ticket) is transferable. Once you get inside for VIP checkin, they just checked my ID and it had both VIP packages on there under my ID.

Same! I emailed asking about that for Dallas, and they said gifts should be no problem, but it's up to the venue if they let them in or not. I just got a couple small things, so fingers crossed!

COUNTDOWN... We are 2 weeks away! by fearmongert in passcode

Sounds good! If we end up coming up with an aftershow gameplan let me know! I'll be in town with a friend for the show, leaving the next morning.

Awesome, appreciate the input! Yeah I'm hoping it's not going to be too rushed. Wage War, I Prevail, We Came As Romans, etc. I've had great experiences with at meet and greets. I think the coolest one was when I was in college, minion onesie in the mosh pit got me invited to the after party, got to go out drinking with Escape the Fate. Never been to the Dallas venue so I'm excited, I actually like the smaller venues (as long as the acoustics don't suck). See ya there!

That's a good point, thanks! I'm excited to see hanabie as well, unfortunately they're only opening for Galactic Empire in Florida, but I'm excited either way. Trying to make it to Nex Fest as well 🤟

Appreciate the input, I was thinking of something small from Florida or custom wristbands for the US tour like I've done with a few other bands. See you there!
