I don’t think so as I’m sure we will continue to listen to her music, watch her lives, and discuss her. The threads won’t fill up as fast.

haraiso 19th March 2018 11:16 PM

By the way, for those considering ordering the photobook through a proxy service, you might want to be quick about it!

7net has a 3 copies "per person" limit, and I think that extends to proxy services as well. I initially tried using FromJapan's proxy, but they ended up cancelling my request because they had reached the limit already.

lfe. 20th March 2018 05:09 AM

Been busy the past weeks so pretty behind, but yeah the QR codes for the tickets are typically sent out a couple of days before the event. You must present the code on your cellphone or they won't accept it. Even if you present codes for you and your friend, they won't allow that either. Each person has to show their QR code on separate phones.

For those that have attended her February shows, were they pretty thorough with the ID checking? Did anyone notice people in line having issues with the ID checking? I know they offered the resale system for those with guests that can't attend, but it doesn't really give people a chance to give their spare ticket to another friend or family member. My 2nd ticket was registered under a family member who isn't going, so now all I can do is forfeit that ticket back into the lottery. A lot of fans on social media are in the same boat as me, begging to be allowed one transfer of their tickets. Maybe I'll call tickebo and beg to be allowed to transfer my 2nd ticket to my friend. Worst thing that can happen is they say no.

Also, not sure if people meant that the crowd energy was pretty dead for a Namie retirement tour, but in general Japanese people are very well behaved for concerts. They stay quiet and don't make noise while the performances are going. Theres some cheers and yelling in the little breaks in between and when they realize what song is starting from the background music, but mostly its just applauses. The only real noise they make is at the beginning of the show and the interlude between the concert & encore screaming chants of NAMIE.

Also

Has anyone bought tour goods from fanspace yet? They didn't let me complete the order because I left Chinese Name blank, but I did fill out my name in Katakana. Can I just put my Katakana name again for Chinese Name?

Also

I've seen these before, I remember male fans wearing them at the Live Style 2016 concert I attended. HAS ANYONE SEEN THESE BEING SOLD ONLINE??? I really really want one :(

When I went, they checked ID twice. One set of staff were at the entrance of the gate, checking your ID and (I'm guessing) to see whether or not it's expired. After that, you move onto the second set of staff stationed at the door who will scan your QR Code and verify that the name attached to the QR Code matches with your ID before they let you in. There was also a large sign at the entrance of every gate listing out all the acceptable forms of ID and that everything must have your picture and must not be expired. So I think they were pretty thorough.

Do they give you a printed ticket or something to know where you seat?

Shukumi 20th March 2018 07:07 AM

No printed tickets! When you download your QR Code image, it actually tells you your seat number right under it! Although without a map of the dome, it's hard to know beforehand where exactly you'll be.

SOLD OUT T.T

KarenPang 20th March 2018 08:14 AM

^ it's not sold out technically cos GIFT is still available for preorder on 7/11

https://7net.omni7.jp/detail/1106867065

I guess CDJapan didn't have a 'stopped preorders' option

@ lfe. - my friend is not a fanspace member but she was able to help me buy namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ goods online as she has a ticket board account . Maybe you want to try doing that instead ?

Also regarding the behaviour of Japanese fans in concerts , I think it depends on the artiste & also the venue itself . I was physically pushed/shoved & the 1st time when that happened , I was caught off guard and I was so worried that I will get trampled on

Luckily I was more prepared subsequently

YES! They checked very meticulously. They scanned my QR code and it took a few tries until the scanner read it properly, then they checked my name on my passport letter by letter very carefully.

Yep, beside the NAMIE chants and the clapping along to the beat and after each song, the only enthused engagement was during Chase the Chance and You're My Sunshine when we got to sing along with the 「Just Chase the Chance!」 and 「Yo!」which was mixed enthusiasm (could be wrong, I wasn't really paying attention to everyone else as I was fully into it)

Exactly right. I actually freaked out a bit because they didn't send the QR code until about 45 hours before the show started so I thought maybe there was a problem with my ticket.

freedreamer 27th March 2018 05:58 AM

Seriously though...

are they ever gonna ship out the badges after deciding to Put 'Em Up for order???

it's been 3 freakin' weeks since I paid and my order is still "Under shipping preparation"

KarenPang 27th March 2018 06:24 AM

Seeing that 7/11 is also taking preorders for some of namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ concert goods excluding the patches and other items , you probably might not get the goods until maybe the domestic tour finishes ?

7/11 has different delivery dates for some of namie amuro Final Tour 2018 ~Finally~ concert goods , some will be delivered on 13th , 18th April , ribbon headband on 11th May , the pamphlet , smartphone accessory & wallet shoulder bag on 31st May

Did they send the QR code through text message or did they send it to your tickebo account? Just trying to figure out if I need SMS enabled for my trip and since my friend bought my LS 2016 tickets through resale he doesn't know the original delivery method.

Marcelo 27th March 2018 10:17 AM

Was the shipping free to order the tour goods to a Japanese address? I was thinking of ordering the things to my friends place so I don't have to line for them on the day of FC pre-sale, since I'd like to take Mt. Fuji tour on that day. But did I understand correctly that the mug and such are not available to order online, only at the venue? Damn haha.

KarenPang 27th March 2018 10:35 AM

^ domestic shipping fee is free if you spend ¥8,000 & above

If not you have to pay ¥756

The zip lock bags , mug and cup sets have different shipping dates and they're only available online for sale

Cos of this my friend had to pay x2 of the domestic shipping fees because they don't allow her to order the goods I wanted with the zip lock bags

You only can buy this plastic bag at the venue - http://namieamuro.jp/goods/shop/NA002-Plabag

Estimated shipping of goods is mid May

Through my tickebo account. They sent an email saying the ticket is ready to be downloaded with a direct link to my tickebo order history. I didn't have SMS at all during my time in Japan, just a data plan, so they may have tried to SMS something from tickebo but I wouldn't have received it. (Don't think they did. I didn't see anything from them when I got my SMS back on. )

Just to illustrate how strict they check ID. From that email:
* We prohibit entering with the ticket downloaded with other member's user ID.
* We refuse your entrance if we discover that you transfer tickets. (No transfer accepted at any circumstances)

I assume if someone bought through that legit resale network they set up it'll be fine, otherwise you'll be refused entry with a transferred ticket

I believe the countdown was for single sales. So it was the 7th best selling single of all time.

Anyways, it was a nice episode. Although we've seen sales rankings so often that I pretty much knew the entire top 10 list. :)

Amuro Namie's "Body Feels EXIT" Chosen As Theme Song For Drama "Miss Devil"

Quote:

Amuro Namie's 1995 hit "Body Feels EXIT" has been picked up as the theme song to the upcoming NTV drama "Miss Devil".

"Body Feels EXIT" is Amuro's debut solo single, released on October 25, 1995. The re-recorded version of the song found on her all time best-of album "Finally" will be used for the drama.

"I am honoured that 'Body Feels EXIT', a song that I cherish, was chosen to be the theme song. I am happy to support a drama with an unconventional and bold heroine," Amuro said.

"Miss Devil" follows Tsubaki Mako, played by Nanao, who works as a HR consultant at a company. She solves issues such as sexual harassment using devilish methods. The series debuts on April 14.

Quote:

Amuro Namie and H&M have teamed up for line of clothing called "Namie Amuro x H&M".

The collaboration will contain early summer outfits with feminine, sophisticated silhouettes, cool tailoring, and refreshing designs that evoke the blue sky.

Amuro will serve as the Campaign Ambassador for the project. Initial photos featuring clothing from the collaboration have been released, with a photo catalogue said to be on its way.

The new line of clothing will be available in store and online in Japan on April 25. The line will be made available in continental Asia as well.

She was so good last night at her Sapporo show! I especially love the latter half of the concert when she sang her older songs (Don't wanna cry, a walk in the park, etc.) and newest songs. The Fighter - In Two - Do It For Love combo gave me the most energy and really got the crowd jumping.

I'm not sure if she broke and cried during her previous shows (Fukuoka, Nagoya, Shenzhen, HK), but she did so when she sang the last verse of Finally finally I can stop dreaming and when she gave a send-off speech at the end. Everyone was in tears during those moments.

Can't wait til my next show in Osaka! Hopefully I get a better seat than last night's far-right seat.

Xianghua 16th April 2018 04:36 AM

^ it should be sent to your account a few days before the show!

I was avoiding this thread because I didn't want spoilers and finally I can read it again as I went to the Sapporo shows as well! I think I enjoyed a walk in the park the most because of how they showed dome tour 1997 and 2012 performances on the screen and how she mimicked what she did back then, like pushing her hair back at the exact same parts of the song. Was cute haha.

I had a bit of trouble with my ID check like I knew I would, name on ticket was in hiragana and ID was English so I had to go to the special line for confirmation. But I had third and seventh row seats!! so I was happy regardless :)

I'm not sure if she broke and cried during her previous shows (Fukuoka, Nagoya, Shenzhen, HK), but she did so when she sang the last verse of Finally finally I can stop dreaming and when she gave a send-off speech at the end. Everyone was in tears during those moments.

Can't wait til my next show in Osaka! Hopefully I get a better seat than last night's far-right seat.

Does that mean she switched the setlist order of How do you feel now? -> Finally instead of Finally -> How do you feel now?

Its been mentioned before, but seriously, what a troll setlist order of Finally then How do you feel now.

No, it's still the same lol. Finally -> How do you feel now?

She trolled herself because she had to quickly recompose herself after Finally lol.

Idk why but I actually always thought ending with How do you feel now was somewhat fitting for a closer. Ends on a positive note. Could you imagine having to leave the arena on such a downer? Tears in everyone's eyes, going home feeling a little empty cause it's all over (i.e. Namie's career). I think it makes sense to end with smiles.

She could end with ANY positive song from her disco but with that, it just feels so troll..LOL

tokyoxjapanxfan 17th April 2018 11:14 AM

I think ending with a song made with the man who started her career is a great way to go full circle. I know internationally her TK songs aren't as highly regarded but that's really what she's known for and will be be forever linked with lol.

It's my fave of her new songs on Finally though so I'm biased haha.

koumori 17th April 2018 11:21 AM

I think there could have been a softer transition between those two songs. I get why she would want to end on a high note though.

Thats true, whenever my playlist shuffles to Finally, I just skip the track because I just can't.

So final lotteries seem to take place approximately two weeks before the events? Wasn't it one week? Has anyone actually tried to re-enter lotteries to reassign registered tickets? I'm curious as to how likely it is that you can re-assign one of your guest tickets, if its an open lottery where you are up against the rest of Japan trying to get the tickets, seems very likely that you are not going to reclaim your guest ticket.

Also, anyone else coming to the June 3 concert?

From what I understand, no, you cannot reassign the ticket. It goes back into a general lottery. :(

Yeah, I think it's a nice idea to end with How Do You Feel Now although I love Finally too!

Yeah it goes back into lottery, but you can also reapply for 1 ticket to the lottery, hence it kinda felt like a lottery for ticket reassignment since lots of people on social media are begging to be able to reassign their tickets, but if its a general lottery where literally everyone is grabbing for the last tickets, it really feels like a slim chance you'll get your ticket back :eviltongu Maybe my fanspace membership will give me an edge? It seems fanspace members all benefited from their membership for the lottery, so maybe I'll still get lucky?

I really don't understand how these reassignments (?) work haha can anyone help me? I hope there are lotteries for the final too :~~

Corvina 18th April 2018 08:32 AM

Ok, I'm disappointed with the H&M collab.
It's typical, basic H&M stuff and Namie is just the model.
Too bad. H&M had some really nice collabs in the past.

They told me to go to the troubleshooting line and I gave my ID/ QR code and explained it was written differently. They just had me scan it again and on the computer they checked my birthdate against my ID. I was let in fine after that! (Although the second day they asked me about my middle name lol) If I were you instead of going to the general entry line I'd just go straight to the troubleshooting line and save time.

Finally will probably keep on selling forever. It’s now under two weeks until Tokyo Dome dates, I’m so excited! It’ll be so cool!

Any idea will there be pre-sale of the goods 1st of May, day before the concert? I hope there is, I don’t want to spend the concert day lining for t-shirt and such haha.

And there should definately be a AHS meetup! I’m traveling alone so it would be fun to meet&hang before/after the concert!

For now there's no news on the concert goods sale schedule for the Tokyo dates

But for this weekend & next week's dates in Osaka , there are no pre sale of concert goods day before each of the concert date starts :x

This weekend , it's 10am while next week , it's 11am

Hey I just wanted to let you know that today at Osaka they are a bit more strict, so it might be different depending on the venue. They asked about my Japanese address so I gave them my (expired) zairyu card that had the address on it. Then they asked me to verify my Japanese phone number so just be prepared for that as well! :)

I'll be going on the 3rd. Maybe the 2nd as well, but I put those tickets up for trade, so we will see. I'm there from 1st - 6th though, so I could technically go to meet up any of the days; 3rd would just be most convenient. There's lots of bars and restaurants right around there, so finding a meeting place should be easy.

Baco__ 22nd April 2018 08:34 PM

I'm going on the 2nd, but I haven't decided when im coming back to Nagoya, so I am super in for an ahs meetup! <3

I really want to buy goods before as well. We can order them online and get them at the venue, right?

Don't think so , the goods that you order online they will be mailed to you but as to when , I don't know cos different goods have different scheduled shipping dates

My friend hasn't received the goods on my behalf yet so I don't think it's anytime soon

At most maybe after the entire Finally domestic tour finish ?

I don't think we can do that, would love to if it would be possible! Since there're not pre-sale in Osaka, it makes me feel almost sure there won't be one in Tokyo either... hmm.. I hate the idea, but I guess I have to go and line then on Wednesday morning, god what an horrid idea haha.

Does anyone have an idea what time should I go and line for the goods? I want the patches, the tour book, and fc t-shirt. Patches are probably the only thing that will get sold out first if I'm not mistaken?

Based on the recent concert goods sale timings for Osaka , last weekend the goods went on sale at 10am while for tomorrow & Wed , it will be at 11am

I don't know how early you're willing to wake up & queue up to buy the goods but wouldn't surprise me if Japanese fans will be there at the venue very early , 7am if not even much earlier ? o_O

The tour patch , keychains & zoadic dog keychain tend to sell out the fastest cos all 3 are priced at 500 Yen each

I live very near Tokyo Dome but oh hell to the no :tired:dead2:D I would need a nap after otherwise I'd be sleeping at the concert later that day haha. Thanks for the info though, it helps me to plan things :yes

I don't know if you're allowed to queue overnight to buy concert goods in Japan , probably not ?

For events that happens in my country (be it queue up to buy the latest Samsung or iPhone handphones) , you're allowed to do that but not sure for Japan's case

I thought Singaporeans have an 'afraid to lose out' mentality but nope Japanese are way more up there :laugh

My friend is attending Namie's concert in 6th May but she's not able to help me buy the concert goods on that day as she has something on prior to the concert

So in the end I told her to help me buy the concert goods online as I will feel bad if she has to queue very long for me to buy them as she has no plans to buy anything for herself :x

People have already seen just how long the queues are & I'm sure the last stop of the tour ie. in Tokyo might be the most chaotic

I'm too old at 25 to line up for hours, let alone over night for a cloth patch on a piece of paper :D:D:D I'll see if I line on Thursday to get the shirt and the book, but the patch is a bit too time consuming haha.
