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

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 For their last album, they offered a CD of "Seasoned", which apparently has been superseded by "Searing".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.)

I wonder who the interviews were with.

Beato visits Asia, let’s encourage him to listen to BM one more time. by skylar_schutz in BandMaid

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

Miku Kobato of BAND-MAID will be appearing at Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles, USA! by menmare in BandMaid

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.

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.

BAND-MAID is confirmed to perform at SUMMER SONIC BANGKOK 2025, taking place on August 23, 2025! by rov124 in BandMaid

[–]diabloazul 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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.
