Pika Pika, I Choose You!
Today’s mission to Tokyo has been a complete success! I got a ticket to the opening show of Morning Musume’s concert tour, family section exactly front and center! I went with the family (sitting down) section because the concert is on a Friday, so I will have already been on my feet all day at work. Also, my family is coming to visit me in Japan and I’ll need to pick them up at the airport the next day, so I don’t want to tire myself out too much.
I’m super excited to see the first show of the tour! This is the first time that the whole setlist, the costumes, everything will be a total surprise for me going in to it! Well, maybe not a total surprise. There’s bound to be lots of songs from their new album in there. I’m happy with that though, because I quite like the new album. I was bracing myself for the worst after the dull bland disappointment that was C-ute’s latest album, but I like all of the new Momusu songs except for one. (that 8th gen song is just weird, and not in a good way).
I have yet to hear Shabondama, Ai Araba It’s all Right, or I Wish in concert, so if any of those are in there, I’ll be happy. If all of them are in there I’ll be ecstatic! Kanashimi Twilight would also be nice.
I wonder if S/Mileage will show up?
Of course, I’ll get a review out to you as soon as I get back.
BFN,

Have fun at the opening. I’m going to Sunday evening’s show. You really should either join fanclub (I know you’re leaving Japan soon) or just order tickets off Yahoo!Auctions. It’s so much cheaper than going to dodgy ticket sellers that they tell us not to sell to on our fanclub papers or risk losing our membership. Or join mixi and get tickets off of the communities there.
Would love to meet up sometime before you leave Japan but I know you live a bit out of the city.
I used to use Yahoo auctions, but I actually found it to be much more expensive, and I didn’t have as much choice about where I got tickets for… Plus worrying about my ticket getting lost in the mail and not getting here on time, and having to transfer money online.
It’s not like I’m buying from people on the street. It’s a store.
