Only the super intense fans that waited more than 5 hours got tickets >< So lame... There's a ton of japanese wota here supporting the girls too :D I'm hoping the concert tomorrow will be a blast!

I'm jealous though that you get to go to any of the concerts let alone Arashi's 10th anniversary concert. I want to see that so badly and I am living here in Canada...make sure you enjoy it as much as you can. Ditto with Momusu concerts. You're supporting them as best you can, wherever you are, ne?

You don't get autographs period without paying the 2man for a fanclub giant poster (which is really nice, just waiting on Junjun) So there is a lot of people being pissed (me included) because it is unfair treatment and UFA is probably being pushed into it by Japan Files and AX committees. I've never liked Japan files and seeing recently that they're selling Platinum 9 for half the price it is in Japan (which seems really suspicious to me as there's no way distributers would let it go for that much below normal cost) they are not going to help Musume's image here. And whether the foreign fans going to LA feel that the wota matter or not, we do. I consider myself part of the Japanese wota now and without us musume would've died a long time ago. And most of my friends are fine with them not selling a million copies, idols aren't expected to be million sellers. If you're going to be here another year why not join the fanclub so you can get tickets and stuff?
