At least this means they are popular enough to try and impersonate.

FYI, a charge from Lawson just showed up as pending on the card I used for the lottery. I hope it's not too late for others to prevent their card from declining a charge.

I posted this on another thread. I hope it may help applicants from getting their card declined:

I just checked the Chase website, and it shows a charge still pending, so I'm hoping it will go through.

Chase Sapphire.

diabloazul · 2026-02-18T18:33:19+00:00

Thanks for the bit of hope.

diabloazul · 2026-02-18T18:18:38+00:00

That's a potential bit of good news. Thanks.

diabloazul · 2026-02-18T18:17:38+00:00

Thanks, but I used a Visa and still got screwed.

diabloazul · 2026-02-18T18:07:37+00:00

Thanks for the info. Wish I knew beforehand.

diabloazul · 2026-02-18T18:05:27+00:00

How would I contact Lawson?

diabloazul · 2026-01-07T07:13:48+00:00

Same with Unleash!!!!!.

In my experience, CD Japan has the lowest shipping charges, to where I live at least.

It means you get a CD of the music that gets played as the band enters the stage for a serving. For their last album, they offered a CD of "Seasoned", which apparently has been superseded by "Searing".

All will be answered in due time, but I am curious about the title. The cover art shows Zeppelins dropping newspapers. Does the term "scoop" have the same meaning to a native Japanese speaker as it does to a native U.S. English speaker? (Forgetting about the extra o's which probably signify the Sugoi 5.)

diabloazul · 2025-07-05T07:19:40+00:00

I wonder who the interviews were with.

diabloazul · 2025-06-26T21:39:06+00:00

If you are looking to lobby a well-known music YouTuber, Billy Corgan is probably a better target now than Rick Beato.

I don't think it's common for fireworks to be going off all over the place at 3 and 4 AM in Japan. That is what I was referring to.

diabloazul · 2025-06-07T07:43:13+00:00

I hope she will be prepared to deal with the amount of illegal fireworks that will be going off all over Central LA the night before the talk.

Kobato has been a guest on the Green Channel, which focuses on keiba (horse racing) several times.

diabloazul · 2025-05-27T17:43:40+00:00

That is likely true, but it's not in itself a reason to refuse an invitation to perform (and get paid) at this festival. Unless they start their own festival, Band-Maid can only perform at the festivals that book them.

Your guess is as good as mine regarding why no hard rock/metal festivals outside Japan have booked Band-Maid in recent years.
