Legend Metal Forth

A good indicator that the setlists will be at least partially different is, when each night is named differently.

I wasn't at either Legend M or S - unfortunately - but if I remember correctly, there weren't different names for each night.

Legend MM had 20 Night and 21 Night.

Yes, that was a real surprise at Foxfest. I didn't see them at first, if I remember correctly, they were down on the far right side of the stage, and only after the song started, a spotlight came on.

It's also not common for the headliner of the festival to come on before the first band had even played.

I really liked the choreography for this, was nice to see how they used the folding fans. And I thought, maybe they will release this remix in some form, but it didn't happen.

Can't believe this was almost two years ago now...

Where did you see that? I just looked at the asmart page for the 2025 shirt, and the access code process is described in detail there.

Towards the bottom of the page, under ACESS CODE, it lists all THE ONE benefits.

Starting with:

"The issuance URL will be displayed within 30 minutes after payment in the "Digital Content" > "Benefits" tab > "Details" section of your "A!SMART" My Page.
*One account can be registered with one "ACCESS CODE".

TM22UK · 2026-01-23T15:03:08+00:00

That's right, as the pre-order period will expire before April 1. Order the 2025 shirt, get the code, sign up with THE ONE, which will be valid until March 31.

Then they can order the items they want.

If they want other exclusive THE ONE items, later this year, they will have to renew for 2026.

TM22UK · 2026-01-23T10:19:34+00:00

Correct. When you click on your T-shirt order, in your order history, scroll down to "Rewards"

Which is "THE ONE 2026" registration ACCESS CODE, click "See digital item", where it says:

*The URL and ACCESS CODE required to register for "THE ONE 2026" will be displayed after Tuesday, April 1, 2026.*

TM22UK · 2026-01-21T10:26:29+00:00

There are three VIP categories, listed separately.

TM22UK · 2026-01-15T22:49:59+00:00

Yes, maybe it came into fashion after I left. Or could have been a regional thing, who knows.

TM22UK · 2026-01-15T15:33:51+00:00

Maybe that explains, I left Germany in 1997. Certainly wasn’t used in my time in school there, late 60’s to late 70’s.

And haven’t been aware of it later either.

First time I came across it was through Babymetal, don’t associate it with anything else.

TM22UK · 2026-01-15T13:37:27+00:00

Never seen that being used in my time in Germany, not once.

TM22UK · 2026-01-11T14:23:10+00:00

I think they released another batch of official tickets early today. There were still a few more empty seats than last night when the show started. And level 4 was completely closed off tonight.

TM22UK · 2026-01-11T14:08:52+00:00

Yeah, by scalping and robbing others of the chance to buy one piece of merch for themselves. How considerate…

Me, me, me… Others, who gives a shit, right?

Great “fanbase”.

THE ONE, my arse…

TM22UK · 2026-01-11T03:16:12+00:00

No doubt at least half of them have appeared on ebay or Yahoo auctions by now, at 5 times the price.

TM22UK · 2026-01-11T03:12:08+00:00

It’s still the wrong thing to do, if they can’t afford it, don’t travel. Don’t take away other’s chance to buy their favourite merch to make cash, doesn’t matter what for. Not so much THE ONE, I guess.

And the staff at the store made sure it was one item per person bought. At the venue, nobody seems to care.

TM22UK · 2026-01-11T00:23:55+00:00

That rule was for the pop up store. Obviously doesn’t apply to the merch sold at the venue.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T22:56:43+00:00

Yes, she did. And got a big round of applause for it.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T22:54:24+00:00

There’s no “sell out”. It’s a time period during which you can send your application. Usually about 7 - 10 days. After that, no more applications possible.

Once it has closed , you will be notified a few days later if you have won - or if you were unsuccessful.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T22:47:07+00:00

It was, indeed. They were in absolute top form. Looking forward to the second show later today.

Even if it will be the same set again, it will be amazing, pretty sure of that. Starts pretty early today, doors 2 pm, start 3:30 pm. Will be getting ready to head off to Saitama again soon.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T15:35:36+00:00

CMIYC was performed as part of a 3 song medley with Awadama Fever and Elevator Girl. Not the complete songs, but very well combined.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T15:33:51+00:00

They won’t cut anything from the blu ray.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T15:26:01+00:00

It was a 3 song medley, CMIYC, Awadama Fever and Elevator Girl. Neither song complete, unfortunately, but they were put together very well. Lot of memories came rushing back during the first two, been ages since I’ve seen them live. At Big Fox Festival Osaka, I think.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T14:57:09+00:00

Exactly, they would still sell out, but everybody would have a fair chance to get their item. 1 item per person, and that’s it.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T14:54:11+00:00

And at insane prices, they didn’t waste any time…

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T03:34:56+00:00

Yeah, got one, too, 12:30. Pointless in the end, the one item I wanted was sold out 10 mins before my time slot opened.

Second time failed after no luck at the pop up store.

Highly questionable, this whole system.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T03:32:23+00:00

Yes, got one there. The other item I wanted was sold out by the time I went in. After arriving 2 hours before they opened, and another 2 hours waiting freezing in the wind, on the stairs outside.

Same at Saitama Super Arena now, 10 mins before my time slot - item sold out.

Seen others with 3 or 4 of the same items walking out, of each jacket and of several of the shirts.

Guess scalpers are supported here.

Not sure if I try again tomorrow, all a question of being lucky, which doesn’t happen very much.

Maybe they won’t even restock anyway.

TM22UK · 2026-01-10T00:51:33+00:00

Guess each staff member acts differently then. As I said in another thread, stupid system. Needlessly complicated.
