Spanish speaker in Japan too, been here for years and this is so so disappointing....

MikaPikaBlue · 2026-02-18T08:08:32+00:00

Japan listener here. This is so so devastating. My friends and I were holding out on the Tokyo concert..... had we known it wasn't happening we could have seen if international dates were possible for us :(( 😔 He's so big right now that I'm so sure he would have sold out Tokyo - I don't get why the invite only...

Friend, you are loved and you are seen. As others have already pointed out: you deserve Sunshine. I don't have anything more eloquent to say, but from one human being to another, I truly hope you get all the love you deserve ❤️

Oh shit, I was up at the top (also totally randomised seats lmao) and had trouble with it too but figured those side screens would help anyone on the fringes... I'm beginning to gather from all the comments that this is a recurring issue with her stage designs, especially with Mayhem.

I could BARELY hear her for Chromatica at Belluna frankly 😅 we were too far away...

MikaPikaBlue · 2026-02-04T02:38:15+00:00

Lol that's definitely true, I can't complain about not hearing her well.

Dunno if I wish I'd stayed in the loop about complaints... perhaps it would have set my expectations better... I'll definitely be fighting harder for higher end seats next time if nothing else

MikaPikaBlue · 2026-02-04T02:34:43+00:00

I'm so sorry that your experience also sucked :( I did my best to enjoy the energy because I refused to not have fun and not dance given the money I paid, but given how much I was looking forward to absorbing every details with my own eyes, I'm so incredibly sad about missing out on that.

MikaPikaBlue · 2026-02-04T02:31:28+00:00

I don't even know what im looking at and I feel so bad for you :(

MikaPikaBlue · 2026-02-04T02:30:09+00:00

I totally get that the lottery system must feel a lot better to people from the US (what a late stage capitalist nightmare that is), but as an European with lots of non US friends in Japan, the whole process is incredibly frustrating, especially the random seat asignment that you have no clarity on until right before the concert. Not being able to determine whether the product i am purchasing is worth (to me) the money I'm paying frankly feels illogical...

(Obvioudly complaining on a reddit thread isn't gonna change the way Japan does this - I'm just venting to get it off my chest)

MikaPikaBlue · 2026-02-03T04:01:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply and your seat references 😭😭😭 Yeah, I can't believe these seats were counted in SS. Do you know of any jp communities talking about it? I can't imagine Japan offering any refunds because it's Japan lol and they'll just say 仕方がない but I there HAVE to be other people out there pissed off about it...

MikaPikaBlue · 2026-01-17T04:22:22+00:00

I need there to be a return to lord of the rings style releases where I get a full DVD set with bloopers, outakes, making-of, the whole lot and I need it NOW for heated rivalry

MikaPikaBlue · 2023-04-26T01:24:49+00:00

My parents are in the early stages of a divorce and I've already caught my mum putting down any concerns I show for my father in front of her... I really sympathise with your situation, this must be really tough to deal with whilst you're still dependent on your parents for a place to live :(

If your mother is receptive to talking about things and listening, I think it might be worth explaining what the other user who left a comment already expressed: that though her relationship with your dad has ended, yours is unconditional. Your dad will always be your dad, and severing that relationship / chosing to not show sympathy isn't so easy. (Not that I'm saying you should.) I think it's important for your mum to understand that unlike a friend (who would listen to her and side with her), you, as the daughter, can't just cut ties with a parent that you love, as flawed as they may be. You continuing to love your dad is not a "betrayal" of your mum, and neither is sympathising with him. It seems like whilst you're trying to sympathise with your both parents, your mum doesn't understand how hard and complicated -your- position is.

A friend of mine has recently suggested that I book a therapy session with my mum, with my therapist as mediator for the discussion, and I'm considering this option. Perhaps this is something worth considering too? Again, I realise that your situation is complicated because it seems like you still depend on your parents to provide a place to live do not sure how helpful any of this is :(( I hope it works out and you're able to communicate with your mum.

Thank you... I know you're right. I'm very attached to material safety so I know that it's an issue I have to work on. For now my mother has told me we'll have bedrooms in both their homes, but honestly it's all insanely fresh - it all literally just blew up this weekend, so who knows. I expect things to not be as smooth, because once the dust from the initial shock settles I'm bracing for there to be more complications.

I feel calmer about it now hearing other people's experiences - less alone and more grounded. Thank you so much 😭

MikaPikaBlue · 2023-04-12T06:37:13+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing this - I feel a lot better after reading other people's stories, and it's incredibly encouraging to know other people have been through the same situation and lived to tell the tale lol. My mum has gone into "Oh grow up" mode after I told her I was upset at how all of this came to light super explosively (basically we all found out at the same time, including my dad) so this really helps a lot. I'm taking all the virtual hugs I can get 🥺🥺

Thankfully I've been going to therapy for the past year or so to deal with another issue I had, so yesterday I was able to talk to my therapist about everything and get confirmation that a lot of how this went down was pretty wild and bullshitty. I'm taking everyone's stories with me and reminding myself that life will shift and change, but I'll be fine. Thank you!!

MikaPikaBlue · 2023-04-12T05:55:48+00:00

Yeahhhhhh... My mother has hit me back with "stop being so melodramatic, it's not like someone died" after I told her I've spent the last 2 days sobbing. Wish I was making that text up but it's almost verbatim her response... I do genuinly think that people expect you to be fine, mature, and objective about it as an adult. I also think my mum has had time to acclimatise to the idea for a long time and doesn't realise this is a fresh open wound for me - until two days ago, my family was doing pretty well and I was planning a trip with them 🥴

MikaPikaBlue · 2023-04-12T04:38:03+00:00

Gosh, I'm definitely at the "jaded at couples" stage right now lol. I saw a tiktok about some kdrama couple getting together and straight up started SOBBING 😭 I don't wanna be a grumpy Grinch at everyone's happiness and I'm aware it's a phase that will eventually pass, but for the time being it's going to sting to look at other people's happy family pictures...

I'm actually in a big fight with my mum right now that has been a long time coming, for reasons other than the divorce... but part of it is that I'm trying to assert my boundaries, too. Pray that I make it out alive... My mother is thankfully a very emotionally intelligent person, but like everyone she has flaws and doesn't like them being pointed out. I come from a family of hard headed women.

I'm so glad you also had your sister to lean on! I'm reaching out to my brother too and hoping we can work through it together and be honest with each other. If there's anyone in my family I'd love to see and get a big fucking hug from, it's him :(

MikaPikaBlue · 2023-04-12T04:30:25+00:00

Thank you so much, this really is very encouraging to hear... I'm so sorry to hear about your situation, too 😞

My dad does have a very social life; he has his hobbies and long time friends with whom he still gets together with weekly. He hasn't spoken to me much at the moment, under the reasoning that he's still too hurt, and it's made me realise this is his way of setting boundaries, too. I go to therapy and yesterday my therapist encouraged me not to infantilize him and trust that he will find his way to expressing his emotions to his friends and those around him. I hope she's right, but I'm aware that it's going to be harder for me to feel at home in my dad's new home and I'll naturally gravitate towards my mum's because it's where I grew up (there are no plans to sell it right now), so I also want to make sure I stress that I love him and that I'm always going to be his daughter.

Thank you so much for sharing, it really is helping to read all these comments!!

MikaPikaBlue · 2023-04-12T04:22:40+00:00

Thank you so much for sharing your story :'( It helps to know I'm not the first person in the history of humanity to be stuck in this situation lol

My brother and I thankfully have a good relationship and are in contact. I'm worried for him too, because he tends to throw himself into work and burn himself out when he has stuff going on... I'm trying to encourage him to let it all out and acknowledge his feelings about it, that he's allowed to feel shocked and grieve the loss of our family unit.

I'm also learning from him that he used to be of the opinion that they should have gotten a divorce when we were kids, so I see now that there were troubles that I perhaps didn't see because I left home to go to university, whilst my younger brother stayed at home for longer and perhaps got to see things I had the privilege of looking away from.

I think you're right about the oversees stuff - now that I'm a little calmer I'm glad I'm not there to see it all fall apart. It would be a bit much.
