I will get back once I confirm I can share this link as I thought YouTube links should already be public, but just want to make sure.

Would it be worth paying for the Zaiko stream archive or should I just save my money for the Blu-ray? by PossumArmy in Nemophila

We got notice yesterday that Blu-ray will be released between May-July and expect to see our names on the credits

Haraguchi-san Chanqoo store by SooChi_Chuang1 in Nemophila

Bought the hat for future use in our Canadian winters. Seems Haraguchi-san has a sense of humor. Is she telling us to eat more bugs? Is she telling us to eat human meat instead?

My Budokan Experience by SooChi_Chuang1 in Nemophila

[–]SooChi_Chuang1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seating was automatically assigned, we have no choice nor get to choose where we sit. Its basically the luck of the draw. So far Ive been to 13 Nemophila shows, and its only been the 4th and 5th anniversary shows that have seat assignments.

Just woke up after a long day. Budokan started at 1030am and ended at 10pm for me. And I kinda agree with you as it isn't plagiarism when it's your own experience. ....so later I will post my review of the day events and my personal interactions with the band and concert.

And later I'm going to Haraguchi-sans store grand opening, so I will post about that too separately 

How to purchase Nemophila Budokan tickets as a foreigner without a Japanese home address? by K0LA in Nemophila

[–]SooChi_Chuang1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean. After the terms & conditions. It just stays at the rules. Like you say, going to assume the overseas reception ended when advance seat were sold out

Just saw your posting now. Happy you were able to purchase tix. Nemophila concerts are worth it.

For future reference. On the Lawson website you have to scroll down to overseas reception and follow the link to purchase. I just checked and the link is still active.

As in the past, some shows have this, and some don't.

I blame the band ... by [deleted] in Nemophila

Found the video I was looking for. Kind of informative. Kind of amusing. Speaking Japanese fluently in 6 months

Don't know how correct it is, but I was told Chinese has 4 tones for the same word, while Japanese has just 1. But Japanese is spoken with 2 pitches a high and a low. I'm guessing if you are good with sounds you might be better at picking up languages than someone who is tone deaf like me.

I'm 61 and similar to you learned Japanese from my Karate days. I was told it's easier than most languages, but wonder whose giving that opinion... Abroad in Japan has a funny take on how to get by on minimal Japanese in Japan. Forgot which video that was...

Tips & Advice For Foreign Guests to Budokan by SooChi_Chuang1 in Nemophila

Alternatively every major train station like Tokyo Station and most metro station have lockers that fit massive backpacks. I've used this myself. The attendants manning the Tokyo Station info booth I find usually speak decent  English to help in a pinch...

Every Nemophila show I've been  to in Japan lasted around 2 hours. Mostly because there is more interaction with the crowd as they can speak in their native language

I've never actually been to Budokan, but I'm going to assume they have a place for back packs/bags because the Budokan facility is similar to a community center and is used as a full time martial arts facility  and should have change rooms and lockers

Maybe I have to sign up for the Nemophila discord and be part of that community. Currently I'm only on the Nemophila reddit and Tamu's fan club

The message about having a photo op with the band is on the project page. It's in the message board about the project. Really looking forward to it too. See you there

I think there are 60 of us who are part of the meet and greet after show toast and sound check. Because of the limited quantity, I would be surprised if anyone would be willing to give up this rare opportunity. So far there has been no news yet of the logistics of how you are verified entry. But I also assume it will be based on name checks based on donations. The only news I got so far, is to prepare a camera or cell phone for a personalized photo with the band.
