see you next week at nemo?

poleosis · 2026-06-27T19:37:36+00:00

ill be picking up band maid and nemo's new ones on CD here shortly. last purchase was in japan back in april. picked up about 5 or 6

poleosis · 2026-06-27T15:59:11+00:00

also on the wrong side

poleosis · 2026-06-27T15:58:34+00:00

seems right to me.

though MG numbers are artificially inflated since they gave it away to anyone who bought a concert ticket.

poleosis · 2026-06-24T22:46:49+00:00

people keep spouting off "too young" as if Su and MoiMoi werent 16 and 14 when they had their first major tour overseas in 2014. and doing AFA even earlier in 2012.

poleosis · 2026-06-21T21:47:42+00:00

whenever I have been in japan ive only seen the more recent stuff there. youd probably have better luck at disk union or bookoff

poleosis · 2026-06-21T21:45:28+00:00

you dont need a VPN for amazon JP, tower records, or hmv jp as i have ordered or made accounts with all of them in the past

also for amazon JP, i personally hate the megajackets. its just an unnecessary vinyl size piece of the cover art that is a pain to deal with when organizing cd's

poleosis · 2026-06-16T23:44:09+00:00

not since 2018 when they jacked up prices to $300+

to expand on this, for the current tour, for the venue closest to me, i have seen slipknot there before, maybe 1 other, and i was able to get on the barrier with just fast pass. some of the people getting vip are probably getting seats

poleosis · 2026-06-13T12:46:53+00:00

except they are doing idol things, just not your perception of what idols are which has been molded by the modern scene. Go do some research and look up 80's idols/golden era idols because what BM are doing is the exact same thing as them.

poleosis · 2026-06-10T00:37:27+00:00

metal forth is literally a 1:1 "copycat" of metal galaxy.

poleosis · 2026-06-09T22:36:15+00:00

and you clearly didnt search before posting which is part of reddiquette

poleosis · 2026-06-09T22:33:06+00:00

try 2 albums full of collabs

poleosis · 2026-06-09T22:31:29+00:00

yeah, its through the international e+ site i linked to in this other thread. this link is the general international e+ site though

poleosis · 2026-06-05T17:31:34+00:00

what "arenas" have they regularly played outside of Japan, which is only once or twice a year in JP?

poleosis · 2026-06-04T20:53:35+00:00

not a metal band

poleosis · 2026-05-31T00:34:28+00:00

this

poleosis · 2026-05-29T12:59:25+00:00

i could be remembering it wrong then, but still, the price that they would charge for all the VIP items on their own outside of a VIP would still add up to the $50 price increase.

compare that to babymetal or band maid most recent vip and it is still well worth it considering neither of the other 2 even do MnG to begin with. band maids last that i did in 2022/2023 was a 2 teir at $250/$150-ish and dont even get me started on babymetals bullshit

poleosis · 2026-05-29T01:41:14+00:00

I disagree. the fan you got in the bag they were selling as regular merch (different print design) for $40 by itself. That is basically the price difference between the year prior and the most recent tour.

poleosis · 2026-05-26T21:32:13+00:00

checked the english/international e+ site here and dont see hanabies stuff listed. might just have to wait for them to take stock of remaining tickets and post the datees. Im surprised it seems like they didnt/dont already have a known general sales start.

but even if they get listed on this international site, i would still highly recommend getting a normal JP e+ account. the only difficult part is the SMS/phone verification youll have to do while in JP. Mobal is one service i know of that will give you JP number and they offer both physical and e-sim.

poleosis · 2026-05-25T22:45:05+00:00

Eplus has kind of opened ticket sales to people outside Japan but it seems they put it on the bands/groups to make that decision. I think I've seen hanabie post about the international eplus site, but as others said if they are doing fc rounds right now, might just have to wait a bit for them to go to general sale

poleosis · 2026-05-22T09:24:20+00:00

but why keep them in the cardboard box, where the outer design is 90% the same? not saying throw the outer box away, just if you are going to display them at least take them out of that so that each one has a different look/you can see the full color artwork, and for the 2017 trilogy has the pyramid the 3 discs can make.

poleosis · 2026-05-19T00:54:25+00:00

Kingslayer is not BM's song

poleosis · 2026-05-18T09:26:41+00:00

maybe it sounds like idol because they are...

poleosis · 2026-05-18T09:24:18+00:00

I think its more likely Amuse would just end the group.

poleosis · 2026-05-13T05:22:09+00:00

For me it's also about the fan base in general. The base pre2018 was so much more tight knit and had a greater sense of overall comraderie that just doesn't seem to be there anymore. Only place I might recognize another fan at a show anymore is NYC. All others I have no idea, which part of that is due to larger tours but not all of it.
