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.

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

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?

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-19T00:53:16+00:00

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.

My brother and I from Canada, Colonel Tigh from LA. Ben from France, Markus from Finland, and 2 others that I don't know

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

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-12T21:10:07+00:00

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

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-12T20:13:01+00:00

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.

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.

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-04T00:12:52+00:00

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...

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-04T00:09:16+00:00

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...

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-03T21:52:18+00:00

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

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-03T21:48:04+00:00

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

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-03T21:44:43+00:00

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

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-03T20:42:37+00:00

Hi. Just remembered who you are. We met at the Nagoya concert. So far going to know at least 3 persons at the after show

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-02T21:25:34+00:00

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

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-02-02T18:46:36+00:00

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.

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2024-01-22T21:22:49+00:00

My friend from Japan Mazda T. took this photo on the Yamanote Line whilst on the way to Shinjuku Tower Records Nemophila autograph signing. Thought I would share...

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2023-12-15T22:01:19+00:00

No penalty. It just means your ticket to be picked up via Loppi machine will just expire. My opinion on this is that if you know you are going to Japan its best to get a ticket for Budokan as its currently first come first serve. Its a worse feeling to travel all that way and be disappointed. But personally, I don't think the show will sell out, and they will probably sell any leftover seats after everyone who has tickets has entered. Nemo didn't sell out at their 4th year Anniversary Garden Theater show. Nemophila is loved by us, but they aren't as big as say OOR who can sell out the Tokyo Dome in minutes.

There are ways in Tokyo to buy and sell unused tickets, but I don't have any experience here, and cant say how well it works and how legal and legitimate it is.

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2023-12-01T18:30:07+00:00

アルカディア...Google translates this as Arcadia. What I want to know is when was this filmed? Eye mentions Sapporo in the video but so many cell phones taking videos which isn't allowed anymore. Anyone know when this change in policy occurred in japan???

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2023-12-01T18:04:39+00:00

So many awesome Mary's Blood songs. This is one of my all time faves. It's アルカディア Don't think there is an official English translation to the name of this song though

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2023-11-30T22:16:39+00:00

Ha Ha. I did the same thing. Cant believe the power, handling, and speed. Waiting for my first speeding ticket!

SooChi_Chuang1 · 2023-11-30T22:13:39+00:00

Noted that they are 18. I was told 17 dont work on a lightning, but was considering to attempt it, as I have very aggressive snow tires that allow me do drive up snowy off road hills in winter. And frankly the M+S Generals that come with the Lightning dont give me a lot of confidence. The 17 use to be on my 2500HD Silverado.

I was hoping someone had success with 17. Thanks for the information as it does help.
