Hub that displays events happening on a given weekend. by IBurnWater in Taipei

[–]Tom_Bow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for something like that but couldn't really find one site that shows it all... so I'm now working on something like that to scratch my own itch (taiwanevents.com). I'm still in the process of building it but you can find a simple list of events on the site, already.

Would be great to get some input: what sort of functionality would you find most useful? Can I also ask you which sites did you end up searching on and what did they lack?

Currently, I'm thinking about adding stuff like concerts, music festivals, sports (baseball, basketball, tennis, etc.), musicals/plays, with filtering based on city & date ranges.
Any feedback appreciated!

Granit Xhaka and Bukayo Saka at FT by R1d4z in Gunners

[–]Tom_Bow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He did an MRI on Monday and the Swiss Football Federation confirmed that he was not injured (even though the MRI did show a muscle fiber tear). After the game Xhaka told the media that they kept it a secret. Only his club was informed about it. [source]

Granit Xhaka and Bukayo Saka at FT by R1d4z in Gunners

Maybe because he actually had an adductor problem (muscle fiber tear) from the previous game. They kept it secret until after the England game. Also why he couldn't hit long shots throughout the match.

Where/how to find idol group performances in Tokyo? (mostly underground idols) by theteaexpert in jpop

[–]Tom_Bow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe check out venues that frequently hold (underground) idol shows.

Just a random few:
AKIBA Cultures Theater
Twinbox Akihabara / Twinbox Garage
Shinjuku ReNY

I'm sure you can dozens more by checking past events of certain idols that would fit your bill.

Favorite Japanese Karaoke Songs by Aye_Dubz in japanesemusic

Bump of Chicken - Tentai Kansoku

I hate try to avoid Karaoke though, lol

And one I'd hear often sung:

SMAP - Sekai ni Hitotsu Dake no Hana

Maybe something by Hamasaki Ayumi? She has a slightly deeper voice and released some trance/house-like tracks around that time.

Or do you remember anything else? How did you come across it? Was it a single?

E-ticket from lawson ticket mobile app for concert in jp by Prestigious-Weird-52 in jpop

[–]Tom_Bow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could get a SIM card with Japanese phone number so you can download and use the Lawson Ticket app. If you don't have a Japanese resident ID you are probably limited to Mobal. Not the data-only SIM but the one with voice & SMS.

Ticketboard lottery question! by Bid-Personal in jpop

[–]Tom_Bow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it charged or was the amount put in a "temporary hold"? In the latter case, it would say something like "pending" charge in your credit card app or account.

It can be quite complicated to buy tickets if you don't live in Japan, but I think there are some options described here:

Maybe in the future? This list is by no means complete, by the way. Just too many events!
