SMILE! :D WORLD TOUR Japan, Feb 10-14 + Summer Sonic 2025

[digital depot]

We'll figure it out together 😭

[dense mist]

down! Feel free to add me we can always dm closer to the date

[pulsar mantle]

Down to help you all too with trains

We’re all in here for the long haul

[digital depot]

Sure thing

[dense mist]

Down! I arrive on the 8th in Tokyo and will need to figure out the Shinkansen bookings

[digital depot]

Thank you!! I'm gonna be so lost the first few days so I'm sure I'll be asking for help

[dense mist]

Would be cool to get everyone on the same trains or something LOL

[pulsar mantle]

I gotchuuu dw

[digital depot]

Niceee i get there the 9th, and will need to figure that out as well

[pulsar mantle]

Where are you all staying in Tokyo?

[dense mist]

Shibuya from 2/8 - 2/11

I plan to hit all early morning trains for travel

Give some time to settle in and explore before the shows in each city etc

[digital depot]

Fuck it porter train

[digital depot]

I'm staying at the same hotel as the venue LOL

[pulsar mantle]

Okay early trains here too. I’m staying in Ikebukuro! We can all meet up at the venue and just explore

Since there’s a food court and such there

[digital depot]

Sameee

[dense mist]

Sounds like a great idea!

[pulsar mantle]

I have an Osaka ticket for you if you still need one too

[dense mist]

Would be super cool to all meet up the day of the show and figure everything out

[pulsar mantle]

Should have 2

[dense mist]

oh wow!! Ok so

[pulsar mantle]

I’m just waiting on the numbers

[digital depot]

I'm with it

[dense mist]

I ended up buying stubhub for tokyo and osaka as backup, and then bought another tokyo from someone selling in this discordf

trying to double and triple secure tickets LOL

[digital depot]

LOL

[dense mist]

I do not want to miss anything HAHA

[pulsar mantle]

I’m coming with the flag so I’ll be easy to spot

[gusty flare]

lmao

[digital depot]

I did the same for my Osaka ticket

[pulsar mantle]

Look for the president of the United States, Porter Weston Robinson

[digital depot]

BANGER

[gusty flare]

honestly, multi-buying tickets isn't the worst idea in the world due to the entry system

[pulsar mantle]

Not at all

[gusty flare]

you can pick the best number and sell the other

[digital depot]

Should I bring the other president of the united states barrack obama

[pulsar mantle]

Absolutely

[digital depot]

(I have a cardboard cutout of him)

[pulsar mantle]

Imagine going through security with that, I’m DYING

[digital depot]

(It's also my discord name)

[dense mist]

Honestly for me it was more the uncertainty of stubhub delivery etc

I was like I NEED tickets

I will buy multiple just to makie sure I can go to all 4

HAHA

[pulsar mantle]

I feel this LMAO

[dense mist]

As long as I can go that's all I care about XD

Worst case I can offer the extra ticket to someone day of or in the discord

not tryna make money

Just wanna see senpai

[pulsar mantle]

Exactly

[digital depot]

Bruh they would make me throw him out no way they'd let it thru 😭

I was hard considering going to the obama shrine and obama onsen this trip but I think it'll be too out of the way

[dense mist]

Didn't even know that was a thing, I love it

[digital depot]

It's wayyyyy down south

[dense mist]

Is anyone gonna hit Wavedash in Tokyo on the 9th?

Either way I say we plan a meet up for Tokyo on the 10th :)

[digital depot]

Unfortunately no, I'm not gonna be landing till about 6pm that day

[digital depot]

Yes!!! Then we can organize hangouts for the rest of the days too!!

Also what part of cali are you from if you don't mind me asking :o

[dense mist]

Los Angeles :)

I fly out from LAX

[pulsar mantle]

I’ll be in town the night of the 7th

[digital depot]

!!!! BRO

I live in torrance 😭

I'm also flying out of lax

[dense mist]

Also down to meet up with your group on the 8th if y'all have some time!

Might need help with the Shinkansen stuff but no worries if y''all aren't available!

I will do my absolute best and book early trips and post in here

[dense mist]

yooo we def gotta meet up!!

[digital depot]

We should!!

Ok next question

Who do you main in maple

[pulsar mantle]

I shall add you so you can DM!

[dense mist]

I mained a bucc XD I stopped playing a bit ago but would be down to hop on sometime with ya

Still have a disc with friends who play, I can add ya

[digital depot]

Niceeee love bucc

I honestly also stopped playing like 3 or 4 months ago too LOL

That would be awesome!

My main is NW but I looove my DA as well

[dense mist]

NW is sweaaattyyyyy XD

[digital depot]

:^)

[dense mist]

not as sweaty as NL

Better survivability tho

[digital depot]

Love me some standing still farming

[dense mist]

Ur bossing is crazy tho

[digital depot]

Ur not wrong

I hit a ror4 and became OP

[dense mist]

I'll try and find a pic but the easiest way to find me for the porter shows might be a shelter hat, I'll wear it for all 4 shows

[digital depot]

Hell ya sounds good

I gotta wear my obama shirts to help identify me

[dense mist]

Gonna figure out my outfits first and then I’ll send a pic :)

[floral wing]

I always thought NW is more like the bossing type and NL the mobbing type

[pliant smelt]

If I ship my ticket to my hotel does it need a Japanese address

Or can I use romanized letters

[dense mist]

I’m not 100% sure, but when I bought the stub hub tickets I entered a Japan address where my friend lives, and I was able to use romanized letters

But I also saw the Japanese ticket sites that needed katakana etc. it might depend on the site?

[dense mist]

Send a pic or dm me a pic of the shirt whenever you find it so I know what it looks like

I’ll def be on the lookout for y’all! Wanna meet up for sure

[digital depot]

They made NW bats really strong and gave it an FMA that you can make have a 7s cd (same as spawn timer)

[digital depot]

I still gotta decide wether or not i will actually wear it I'll lyk tho

[dense mist]

You just have to be strong enough for your bats to 1 shot iirc, which was harder with the arcane mobs

[digital depot]

Ya it takes a lot of funding to start doing it efficiently on NW, and sacred areas make it wayyy harder

[dense mist]

Same for me! Only thing I’m sure about is my shelter hat, I bring it to big Porter shows like this. I’ll prob bring some smile merch and other tour merch :)

[digital depot]

I'll definitely bring my smile merch too to for some of the shows :D

[pulsar mantle]

I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who was napping at SS

It’s me. I will 99% be masked up the entire time

The mask stays. 😂 I have long haul COVID so I don’t wanna get ill again

My seats will be reserved when I get to Japan because I’m paranoid about literally everything while traveling

Going right to that JR station 😂

[floral wing]

I play on interactive server so the spawn time is quicker here

[pulsar mantle]

I need this trip so much, need to get tf out of America for a while

OMG YES!!!!

Omg it’s gonna be awesome to see you again

[digital depot]

I feel this so much 😭

It is so crazy rn

[digital depot]

Ohhhh yeah for interactive, NL is a lot better

[dense mist]

I think this experience is going to be so healing for everyone, especially right now!! Honestly part of me is also really excited to be on the Shinkansen too. The trip is gorgeous through the countryside

[pulsar mantle]

I agree

[digital depot]

Yes it's a great time for all of us to step back from everything going on and take in all the beauty of this trip!

[pulsar mantle]

Traveling for Nurture Japan was incredible I know it’s going to be incredible now

[floral wing]

That's what the concerts are for

[pulsar mantle]

Ready to cry the second he steps on stage

Because my emotional self is going to cry for sure

[dense mist]

Nurture Japan must have been incredible!! I can only imagine how SMILE :D will be

I’m also so excited for the food 🤤

[digital depot]

Have you been to any of the smile shows yet?

Duuuuude I'm so looking forward to all the food

[pulsar mantle]

Yeah I went to uhh

I think 8 US shows

[digital depot]

Niceeeee i went to 2 myself

Hollywood bowl and vegas show here

[pulsar mantle]

I went to Seattle because Chicago was canceled and I was determined to do another show and the travel points came through

[digital depot]

Oh hell yeah

[pulsar mantle]

Boston, NYC, Colombia, Chicago (RIP), Dallas, Houston, Seattle. 7! Chicago still counts

[dense mist]

I went to the Hollywood Bowl, I’m actually really bummed I couldn’t make the SD show :/ I missed that Air 2 Earth set 🥹

[digital depot]

DAMNNNN that's a stacked roster

And then all 4 JP on top of it? Hell yeah

[pulsar mantle]

Wait how the heck could I forget Red Rocks

I was at RR

[digital depot]

!!! Bruh we were destined to be friends this is crazy

[pulsar mantle]

HELL yeah I don’t play about Porter. All or nothing when it comes to him

[digital depot]

YOOO i watched Eric's stream of this one

[pulsar mantle]

And I’m fully one to say if you wanna go to multiple shows, do it

Go see your favorite artist a bunch of times

[digital depot]

Also dude i was supposed to go to the SD show with some friends too but last minute some stuff came up and i couldn't go, didn't even have time to sell my ticket 😭

[pulsar mantle]

SD looked really insane, I would love to go back to a CA date next time

[digital depot]

I can see that. I mean, he is our lord and savior Mr President of the United States

[pulsar mantle]

Salute to the flag!

[digital depot]

SD seemed like one of the most hype shows i was bummed i couldn't make it

[dense mist]

Ahhhhh I feel this!! My gf at the time was visiting so I made the unwilling sacrifice to not go and spend time, and lowkey regret it now HAHA

[digital depot]

🫡

God i want a pic with that flag so bad

[pulsar mantle]

We will make it happen!

[dense mist]

As soon as I saw Air 2 Earth I was sooo bummed. Also heard the daytime/sunset vibe was perfect for the show

[digital depot]

!!! Thank you!

[pulsar mantle]

I’ll add everyone so we can DM and meet up once I get to Japan

[dense mist]

And the sound was apparently amazing

[pulsar mantle]

We’ll take silly pics and all

[dense mist]

Super down!!

[digital depot]

NOOOOOOO T-T

[digital depot]

Super down!

[pulsar mantle]

everyone is welcomed, we should have a big silly meet up

Porter fans unite from everywhere

[dense mist]

That flag will unite us all together

[pulsar mantle]

Our true leader

[digital depot]

Yeahhh my friends who went said the open venue was amazing, and because of it being right next to the water it was very cool out

[dense mist]

That’s a flag I’d be happy to salute. 🫡

[pulsar mantle]

me too!!

it will be the first thing I pack later this week

[digital depot]

Yessss

[dense mist]

I’m honestly so excited to meet Porter fans from around the world

[pulsar mantle]

Me too!!

[dense mist]

I think that’s one of the things I’m most excited for

Going solo and being able to meet everyone

[digital depot]

Also I got a kit to make kandi, I've never made any before but I'm excited to for this

[pulsar mantle]

I loooove meeting new Porter fans, we’re all the same at heart

[digital depot]

I'm so with you on this, and it seems like it's already happening and we're not even there yet!

[dense mist]

I agree!! Idk if we can make an event on this thread or anything but would be soo cool to do a lil meet up before each show and welcome in all the fans from around the world

I know lots of people are in the same boat as us, maybe even ppl who aren’t in the discord!!

But if anyone sees that flag I’d bet money they’d come up and say hi XD

[digital depot]

Very true, I'm sure there will be many!

[pliant smelt]

Big, but especially silly

[dense mist]

One thing I remember from my trip to Japan was to wear super walkable comfy shoes. I had worn out shoes and my feet were ruined and blister ridden

I bought a good pair of walking shoes and it changed my life

I can't recommend it enough!

[digital depot]

Will do!

I walk 8-10 miles a day for work, i am ready for this 😎

[pulsar mantle]

I’m a New Yorker, walking is in my blood >:)

[dense mist]

I must have baby feet cause I was NOT prepared last time hahaha

But this time I'm coming ready >:)

[unreal scarab]

I may not be able to walk much cas of my state/city, but I'll have infinite energy in japan because of the low altitude

[strange lichen]

Highly recommend hiking boots. Especially if you are not used to walking a lot.

[digital depot]

You get it 😎

[digital depot]

LESSGOOO

[digital depot]

Wow so many LA frens!!

[ebon cape]

👁️👄👁️

[digital depot]

I didn't grow up here but I moved here after highschool

[dense mist]

I grew up in the bay but moved here after HS too :) Been here ever since! Lots of LA frens in here <3

[fiery trail]

Going to the Tokyo show! Flying in from SF on 2/9 🙂

Hoping for a MOGRA afterparty on 2/10

[obtuse lantern]

51 for Osaka and 74 for Tokyooo 😭 it's just starting to hit that we're actually seeing this man live in less than 2 weeks

first porter show(s) i'm so excited

[pulsar mantle]

NIIIIICE

[celest acorn]

wait since entry numbers have already been assigned, if i buy a nagoya ticket now will it be at the very end😭

[wispy crag]

I have seated tickets :'( and I won't know my seat until right before the show date 😭

I imagine I won't have an entry number, but a seat number?

[pulsar mantle]

Nope it’s all random! 🙂

[pulsar mantle]

Yes you’ll have a balcony floor, what side of the balcony, row and seat number

[hollow comet]

good morning tour gang

happy new year

[digital depot]

Is there any way to get osaka vip still? Every time I've checked the ticket site it's been sold out :(

[pulsar mantle]

I believe VIP for Osaka is sold out

[pliant smelt]

I’m flying in 2/6

[digital depot]

RIP

[pliant smelt]

Tokyo and Fukuoka shows

[wispy crag]

AHHH I hope it's still somewhat a central view ;w;

[pulsar mantle]

I think my extra one is, if it is we can always trade seats inside!

[dense mist]

I think all my tickets are mostly pickup from Lawson or mini stop, that means I can just go once when I land and pick up all of them right?

[pulsar mantle]

Yep!

[wispy crag]

I highly value and appreciate that kind offer, I bought two one for me one for my boyfriend though so we can't be separated

[pulsar mantle]

Awww I see!

[pliant smelt]

Alright

I have put the Japanese hotel address into stubhub for my ticket lol

Hopefully I got it right

[hollow comet]

yeah ive done that before

should be fine

ive also got it wrong before and it was fine lol

[dense mist]

The suspense is killing me. I just wanna be in Japan already 🙃

[hollow comet]

where did u buy from

oh

zaiko is electronic isnt it?

[gusty flare]

go to your tickets

[hollow comet]

dam

[gusty flare]

yeah

[hollow comet]

all yall got way better numbers than me😭

i dont think that would work

or is necessary lol

[gusty flare]

nice

I got 20 for nagoya

[hollow comet]

bruh

[gusty flare]

kinda crazy

[hollow comet]

when did u buy

[gusty flare]

it's random

not based on time

[hollow comet]

i know im coping

[gusty flare]

lol

[hollow comet]

well he did buy way before me so

[pliant smelt]

my ticket boutta be number 2 billion

tokyolover save my spot LOL

[hollow comet]

surely someone will have a number around mine so i can go in not solo lol

[gusty flare]

nice

[pliant smelt]

btw should we start discussing meetup spots/times

considering theres barely 20 of us here it shouldnt be too hard I hope

[hollow comet]

@pliant smelt will you be here next weekend?

before the show

[pliant smelt]

well, 20 active

[sly tusk]

I got 28-29 for Tokyo

[pliant smelt]

yes ill be in tokyo by feb 7

[hollow comet]

im coming from work day of the show so good chance i wont get there till right before it starts lmao

[sly tusk]

Idk if that’s because I got the vip upgrade or what

[hollow comet]

cool thats why i wanna hang on the weekend

tokyo garden is like an hour away

[pliant smelt]

i got shibuya sky tickets the 8th

and ill prolly do like senso-jii and tsukiji market since I didnt do those last time I was in tokyo

im not super pressed about getting front this time

i already lucked out in boston and nyc

plus seeing porter is more an excuse to go to japan than anything else lol

when porter is playing osaka i will be in an onsen in the mountains

[obtuse lantern]

bro wait u got 50 for Osaka? we're gonna be going into the venue pretty much together then lfgoo

i'm going to that one by myself so happy to have someone i know close !!

but also like,,, 50 without VIP is crazy i paid the extra 10,000 and got a higher number than u lmao 😭

porter on his scammer arc................

[hollow comet]

thats crazy

[obtuse lantern]

bro go get a lottery ticket or sth today hahaha

[hollow comet]

its cus today is new years

[obtuse lantern]

i was literally typing that LMAO

[hollow comet]

i got one too tho😢

[obtuse lantern]

trueeee in porter's words

it's not faiiiir

i wonder what number Ducky got

oooh im not sure i think 51 is already my "high priority number" since the original number on my "normal" ticket is like 778 or sth. i didnt mean to complain 😭 i'm rly happy with 51, second row is perfect

goodies will be nice tho !! but i think i wanna give away the ones from the osaka show

yeah i'm so excited just to be there with other porter fans enjoying the music

[finite niche]

Wish I didn’t have to wait till I arrive to get my tix

US 7/11 would be so confused if I asked for my Porter Robinson ticket

[sly tusk]

Yeah I’m a little confused my Tokyo entry is 28, and I did get VIP upgrade, but I don’t think they’re linked at all

So is that my normal entry and I just got lucky or is that my entry based on buying VIP

[obtuse lantern]

is it an electronic ticket? does it say VIP entry anywhere?

[hollow comet]

not on the show date bruh that is a workday

weekend is the play

[sly tusk]

No my VIP ticket says I need to pick it up physically at a 7/11

This is just my zaiko electronic ticket

[dense mist]

That was the coolest thing my first time there, we rode the Shinkansen and played flicker and I’m 99% sure we passed by spots from the flicker video :)

San Francisco :)

[dense mist]

Super down for this btw

[hollow comet]

real

as i said i wanna go out on the weekend

i know some people get in on sunday though so whoever is here should come out

[dense mist]

Wait a sec

This is my Tokyo ticket

Is that pretty high up? I’m assuming 3rd floor?

[hollow comet]

3rd floor balcony

idk how many areas this place has

[dense mist]

I guess we’ll see how the stub hub tickets look once I pick those up in Japan too LOL ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fluid flare]

How are you supposed to know the seat thingy if you have the Lawson physical tickets?

[hollow comet]

youre ticket 0002 but also row 6

nvm thats just seat 2 obv, idk how big those balconies are

[peak terrace]

i still see tickets on the japan sales sites, im trying to get one too

ill be flying over in a bit, so hopefully I can get it figured out then

[dense mist]

Just down the road from where I grew up :)

[pulsar mantle]

3F balcony looks to be the first balcony in the place

Since the floor is counted as 2F

Balcony goes all the way up to 5F looking at the chart

[dense mist]

Ooooooo wow!

I’m scared I’m gonna be standing there waiting and they’ll have already called my number LOL

I gotta grab my physical tickets when I land but I’ll see what those ones say

[pulsar mantle]

VIP will be interesting for those who have lower numbers with no VIP for the floor

Cause technically if you have VIP and you have number 100 you’re still getting in before the person with number 20 and no VIP

Seating chart!

[dense mist]

Oh WOW lol so I’m at the top top 🤣

[obtuse lantern]

Oh i see! wow then maybe u did get super lucky and got 28 from ur normal ticket, or maybe ur VIP number is already reflected on that ticket

[pulsar mantle]

Nope you’re in the yellow if you’re 3F, low balcony

[wispy crag]

@dense mist when did you buy your tix sorry?

im using that as a rough idea how far away ill be from your seating based on ticket purchase date 😭

i bought mine late compared to everyone else cause it was only in the last few months i organised visiting japan - i was originally going to attend australia tour

then it was announced AFTER I BOUGHT tix to japan 😭 and i just cant do it in the same week

i got mine oct 19 so ill probably be near the back

if i get somewhere here.. id be happy with that

but honestly i doubt it cause i bought my tix so much later than most people on release

i appreciate the reassurance

Oh thats right, i might not meet up with afterwards for a social hangout I will be my partner and we value quality time and sticking to our plans but i wanna be able to just give out some photo cards i have to anyone who wants them

so if theres a spot you guys will be at let me know ill try see you there

[real sierra]

Hi posting this here again T^T maybe if any non-Tokyo folks wants to come out to Tokyo show…. I’m selling a ticket for half price

im here to make a new porter friend!!

[unreal scarab]

Since someone else is plugging I might as well
If anyone wants to see wavedash in Tokyo on the 9th and doesn't have a ticket yet, hit me up!

[dense mist]

So funny thing, I just planned everything like less than a week ago HAHA. I bought this ticket from the ticket swap thread in this discord, and am still waiting on stub hub tickets to pick up when I’m in Japan! Got them just in case

[dense mist]

Ngl i is very confused because the section “3F” is the blue one in the back HAHAHA. I have no clue, I hope I can get everything figured out day of

[tight condor]

hitting you up :3

[inland jacinth]

hi guys c: i'm gonna be going to the tokyo show solo so I was wondering if there was talk of a meetup before the show?? i haven't been following the convo here so sorry if it was mentioned already!

[finite niche]

You have plenty of choices! There's one happening at the Club Mogra Ujico Set on the 9th, as well as a Wavedash show on the 9th

Also expect a meetup afterwards

[inland jacinth]

after porter? o: I’m getting in a little late on the 9th so hoping there will be a meetup either before or after the show on the 10th!

[finite niche]

I'm sure there will be

Check back closer to the big day

[hollow comet]

we will

and depending on if anyone is staying in tokyo the tuesday after is a holiday‼️
so i can go out

[digital depot]

Yes we have had talks of many of us getting together before the show, I'm sure it will be discussed more the days before the show :)

Ah I meant to reply to your first message, but definitely gonna be meeting up and hanging out beforehand!

[inland jacinth]

ah ok!! I’ll keep an eye out here :)) can’t wait

[dense mist]

I will be at the Wavedash show on the 9th, hope I get to meet yall before the Porter meetups!! I’m soooo excited (^^)

[pulsar mantle]

Yay! My number for Nagoya is 51 and Fukuoka is 24! 😭😭😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I have VIP for both dates, rail please for at least one

[dense mist]

Let’s goooo!! Excited for you! Can’t wait to find out my numbers when I pick up mine :) if I’d have known I would have chosen Zaiko

[pulsar mantle]

Physical tickets are so great though! I wish I had physical ones for the US tour 😭

Manifesting early numbers for you 🙏🏻

My friend is picking up Osaka and Tokyo so I’ll see what those are

[dense mist]

Definitely let me know, and I’ll probably put them in here once I know! Maybe I can go in with someone close to my number or something LOL

[obtuse lantern]

see u there !!

[celest acorn]

ahh im 23 for fukuoka!! (dont have vip though so you’ll probably enter before me anyway!)

[vital crest]

Ffs I'm 940 for Tokyo

What's the max number again?

[pulsar mantle]

That’s so exciting though, you should be able to still get in quick!

Number buddies

[pulsar mantle]

About 2000 for the floor so you’re still good!

[vital crest]

oh okay nice

will be fun trying to merge with friends if we don't enter at the same time

[pulsar mantle]

My bf decided to come after me so his ticket number will be different. I’m just planning on holding down a spot for him until he’s in

I’m sure some peeps will do that especially with different numbers

[hollow glacier]

You can always just push forward in the crowd to where you need to go

Without budging people as much as possible ofc

[pulsar mantle]

People will shift regardless, I’m happy Porter crowds are 99% chill

[unreal scarab]

Looking at you show right after second sky

[dense mist]

Woohoo! I’ll message in here the day of if there’s not a meetup being planned. Hope to meet you and other friends before the show!

[hollow comet]

im so sure he will play flicker

he did for nurture tour in 2023

[obtuse lantern]

to ppl whove been to previous Porter shows in Japan: do u remember if taking pics/videos was allowed? in my experience it seems to be always strictly forbidden for jp artists but idk how it is with oversea artists

[white cloak]

I recorded most of the session, and some people did too

[hollow comet]

i took a lot of photos at nurture and lots of people were too yeah

[pulsar mantle]

Yes he’s a foreign artist so they don’t enforce the no video / photo rule too much

when I was in Fukuoka for a DJ set of his EVERY single person was recording

[obtuse lantern]

Oh thank goddd 😭 i dont even like taking pics/videos at shows that much but i wanna take at least a couple to remember what everything looked like

ty all sm for the replies

[dense mist]

Every day that passes is another day closer to what feels like a peak life experience in Japan. I cannot wait!!

[wispy crag]

i definitely want to take videos of what i can i hope thats not an issue, i hadnt actually checked the rules around that for tokyo show

is there a good way to check prohibited items or entry rules /

[pulsar mantle]

They’ll be posted outside the venue on show day

[wispy crag]

oh well that's a bit late notice

[fossil oar]

I'm 36 for Osaka! I’ll probably be on the edge, but I might be able to get to the front row.

[pulsar mantle]

Congrats!! I bet you will!!

[vital crest]

Going there next week haha

[sly tusk]

Pics

[pliant smelt]

[hollow comet]

speaking of, since we r now basically at the end of monday id like to plan with whoever will be here over the weekend

[finite niche]

No please ask like please I will sit there frothing and stuttering otherwise haha

[hollow comet]

i wanna go out since i wont be able to meet ppl really before the show next week

[finite niche]

it's tough, especially since lots of people probably have itineraries or can't stay for more then a week

[obtuse lantern]

iu wonder how many ppl will be here saturday night? sunday might be complicated cause of the wavedash+mogra events

[finite niche]

I'll be eastside for about a month

[finite niche]

Might be, unless both groups wanted to meet up after the respective events

[hollow comet]

yeah ik most people traveling will have plenty of shit they wanna do in a limited time so

[obtuse lantern]

ah yeah i think both events finish at 21:00 so meeting after that is an option ig 👁️

[pulsar mantle]

3 days to go

[wispy crag]

whip out a polite sumimasen to people in line that look approachable and i think this is written correctly in case i dont have confidence to speak, is written correctly ?

yokattarra ichimai douzo romanised , @obtuse lantern !!

its pretty simple i think ill get it, i just find it a bit daunting on my first day in a foreign country ive never been overseas before

[obtuse lantern]

[wispy crag]

[peak terrace]

[wispy crag]

[wispy crag]

Omg

It's perfect

[pulsar mantle]

Me trying to work at the same time wanting to leave and pack

[finite niche]

Is that like a deluxe edition or something? That seems kind of pricey

[pulsar mantle]

That’s about $19USD so it’s probably regular edition

[finite niche]

Hmm, I guess I forgot what CDs costed haha

New-new ones at least. I know bandcamp CDs usually go for that

[peak terrace]

about on par with the others

it comes with a pretty thick booklet though!

[dense crest]

Hi!!!!! Is anyone also traveling to Fukuoka for Feb 14??

[unreal scarab]

Yep! I'll be heading there on the 13th though

[dense mist]

Yes I will be hitting all 4 tour stops :)

I’m also traveling there on the 13th!

[pliant smelt]

Same

I’m doing Fukuoka and day trips to Nagasaki and hiroshima in the days after

[pulsar mantle]

Yep! I will also be there on the 13th

[dense crest]

me too!

it's my first time in japan and i'm a bit nervous lol

[finite niche]

You’ll be fine!

It’s very exciting and surreal making the trek.

[finite niche]

Made it to LAX

9 hour layover here we come!

[fluid flare]

Have a safe flight everyone! Let's have some fun in Japan

[white cloak]

Have a safe trip everyone 🤲🏻

[hollow comet]

9 hrs is wild😭

[finite niche]

Saved so much money on the tickets but damn

Also I’m not sleeping since I’m trying to get on JST

[hollow comet]

are u flying zip or something

[finite niche]

Delta. The ticket was $70 round trip with miles

Including transfer, hence why I’m currently stuck in LA at 2am

[hollow comet]

worth tbh

[finite niche]

Sure was.

Are you gonna be at the Japan show?

[hollow comet]

icl LAX intl terminal is a great one

[hollow comet]

ye

tokyo only

[finite niche]

I mean it's ok haha

Least they don't complain about people staying the night

[hollow comet]

fair i suppose its different in the middle of the night as opposed to a regular daytime transit💀

[pulsar mantle]

Single digit entry numbers 😭😭😭😭😭 guaranteed front row

Holy shit it’s 6am and I’m dying

[hollow comet]

censorship is crazy

[pulsar mantle]

VIP here’s your merch times:

TOKYO : 16:00-17:30
OSAKA: 14:30-15:30
NAGOYA: 16:30-17:30
FUKUOKA: 16:30-17:30

[obtuse lantern]

DANII so happy for u lfgo !!

[pulsar mantle]

IM READY

[raw fractal]

I'm going to the Osaka show! Tonight's Brissy show slapped, I can't wait to see him again!

[sly tusk]

Did anyone else get VIP for Tokyo?

[finite niche]

Don’t suppose anyone is flying out of LAX this morning?

[pliant smelt]

AAAAAAAAAH IM GOING TO JAPAN AGAIN

IM READY TO LEAVE BEHIND ALL MY RESPONSIBILITY

[pulsar mantle]

Same hahaha

[obtuse lantern]

🙋

[sly tusk]

Okay thank goodness, I don’t speak any Japanese and I’m worried about finding out where to go and when

[obtuse lantern]

oh if u have any questions feel free to ask !! i'm not a native speaker but ive been here for a little over 4 years so lmk if there's anything i can help u with

[pliant smelt]

KOKO KARA

[pulsar mantle]

About to clock out of work for the next two weeks

PARTY TIME

[coral venture]

Im worried about process of getting in as well cause I wont be able to understand if they call out numbers. Do they have signs with number ranges where you line up?

[mortal heart]

Yep that's how it was last year with nurture. You line up in your designated number range and the staff will let your group know when u can start entering

[coral venture]

Ah ok, and the process is the same for seated and standing?

[pulsar mantle]

Yeah there will be signs everywhere and if you need any help reach out here, one of us will be able to help!

Nagoya's venue is VERY small, we will be lined up in a claustrophobic stairwell for numbers, so everyone going to Diamond Hall, be prepared

[fluid flare]

Nagoya gonna be the most lit because I will be there, just saying

[pulsar mantle]

HELL YEAHHHH

I'm ready

[dense mist]

I hope some fwens in here are down to get some food after or something LOL. Would love to hit some late night ramen after the show or something

[hollow comet]

hell yeah

[pliant smelt]

Sounds lit

[finite niche]

We have arrived

[gusty flare]

Currently at the airport 😁

Waiting for my flight

[pulsar mantle]

Safe flight to all!! See ya soon

TOMORROW almost time to check in for my flight

[unreal scarab]

This is tragic, I can't find my 3ds charger

How am I gonna record the show now

[gusty flare]

@pulsar mantle do you still have an osaka ticket i can buy?

[pulsar mantle]

Oh yes I absolutely should but I’ll know once I get to JP on the 6th

[gusty flare]

Alright cool

[crimson rose]

Hello! I have a question regarding how to get into Tokyo Garden Theater: from what I know:

• Pick up your ticket at a 7/11 (the email says to show a QR code to the cashier)
• At a gate in Tokyo Garden (no idea which gate), show the person your ticket (from above) as well as your passport. Seating for the ground operates on a first come first serve basis.
• Enter the venue, I assume it's okay to bring your coat inside.

[pulsar mantle]

Yes! Also, chances are the venue will have coin lockers around outside or inside the venue so you can lock up your belongings. Usually for 500yen.

Gates will be labeled depending on what floor your seat is, and there will be signs, so not to worry

I somehow ended up with an extra seated ticket for Tokyo so if anyone is going solo and wants to sit with us, feel free to reach out!

[gusty flare]

Missed my connection cause my flight got delayed

So awesome

Now I'm stuck in fuckass seattle

[pliant smelt]

That sucks

[queen nebula]

Are there some tickets that are a QR code? And you don’t need to get a physical copy from 711?

[celest acorn]

i think the zaiko tickets from presale are?

[queen nebula]

Okay thank you. Because on my email it says I’ll be able to “check in” on my phone. Doesn’t say anything about picking up a ticket

[pulsar mantle]

Yes Zaiko are electronic, they’ll produce a QR code on the day of the event so you can check in

[broken isle]

That’s ass ☹️ were you able to figure out a new one? I’m leaving on Saturday and this is my greatest fear l.

[gusty flare]

Yeah they rescheduled me for a flight 24 hours later

[pliant smelt]

My guess is the anohana cover with Porter

Idk what else

Circle back

[warm dust]

hey guys! me and my friend are going to the osaka show, does anyone want to meetup the weekend before?

[final oasis]

yooo just recently found out about the show meetups on discord, i'm attending the Osaka show with my gf, are there any aftershow meet ups yet for the 11th?

packed and ready

[dense mist]

If no one ends up taking the ticket I may at least come sit! :) I’ll be solo for the show otherwise!

[dense mist]

I don’t think anything has been concretely planned but it sounds like a lot of people are down to meet up! I know I am

[final oasis]

yeah I noticed while aggressively scrolling up all messages to see if there was anything solid/agreed yet. are you attending both shows?

tokyo and osaka

[dense mist]

Yes! I’ll be doing both plus the Nagoya and Fukuoka shows! So I’ll be looking to meet up with fellow Porter fans!

Also hitting Wavedash in Tokyo on the 9th :)

[mortal heart]

Im also attending solo and would love to meetup with people before the Tokyo show!
im also wondering if arena tickets have assigned seats?

[real sierra]

I’m also going solo!! I think it’s assigned seating. I have an extra seat next to me if anyone wants to be concert buds :3

[pulsar mantle]

Omg yes!!!

Sony Music Japan's official account has announced that they will be holding three campaigns to celebrate Porter's visit to Japan!

[pulsar mantle]

An autograph session!!!!

15th at Tower Records … off we go

[fossil oar]

I'm really disappointed that I can't go to the signing event on Saturday (I'll be in Osaka for Kenshi Yonezu's concert that day)

[finite niche]

Rip, I’ll be in Seoul by then

[pulsar mantle]

Oh no!! 😟

NOOO

[fossil oar]

Everyone who participates, have fun! 😄

[pulsar mantle]

Thank you! I will do my best. I’ll get my butt to Tower because I’d love for my bf to meet him and get a CD autographed

[pliant smelt]

Debating if I should bring my smile hoodie lol

[hollow glacier]

Ohh I think I can make it!

[pliant smelt]

I want to but it’s bulky af and also I don’t wanna lose it if I lose my luggage 😭

[hollow glacier]

You gotta buy something on the 13th though to qualify?

[pulsar mantle]

Yes

We gotta go to Tower

There’s also raffles at each date to meet him after each show

[hollow glacier]

My bf flies back to America on the afternoon on the 15th so I’ll go from the airport I guess

[hollow comet]

they got pokemon robinson cards lfg

[gusty flare]

Kinda lame meeting him after the shows is locked behind a raffle but I get it

Do we know how much thr raffle tickets cost?

[digital depot]

I'm flying to Okinawa that day maaaaaaan 😭

[obtuse lantern]

omg enjoy !! i just saw him in Yokohama for the third time 2 weeks ago, the setlist for this tour is so so good hope you have a great time !!

[finite niche]

Certified struggle meal tonight

Pork cutlet sandwich with cream cheese and blueberry jam

God bless Japanese grocery stores

[pliant smelt]

Idk if I’d call that a struggle meal lol

Japan struggle meal is more like rice and one egg

I always find it wild hearing those stories from people who went to Japan to work for some sketchy teaching org and they’re like yeah I ate plain rice and soy sauce for two months

[verbal gust]

hey y’all, has anybody ever been to the namba hatch venue? im wondering if its enclosed and how cold its gonna be

[finite niche]

Oh god I couldn’t imagine

You gotta have something else at least

I just did it cuz my Airbnb isn’t exactly designed for cooking minus using the microwave

[pulsar mantle]

Hatch is HUGE. Coin lockers are all in doors and there’s a lot of them. There’s a whole hall inside you can just kind of bum around in, use the bathroom, and have access to vending machines.

Numbers are called outside, so you’ll need to be outside and lined up in the queue which contains your number to await it being called. But you can hang around inside until it’s time for that

Been there 4 times and Hatch has always been a wonderful experience!

[dense mist]

I’m also going solo and would love to be concert buds since it’s assigned seating! :3

Either way I would love to sit next to some fwens in here! Otherwise I’m gonna be standing by myself

So I’ll see what happens the day of

[pulsar mantle]

We get the Pokémon plane!!!

[dense mist]

Omgggggggg so happy for you!!! Have a super safe flight and hope to meet your group in Japan!

I fly out tmr morning!!

[verbal gust]

oh thats great, so im assuming that it’ll be quite temperate inside?

[gusty flare]

Lucky

[pulsar mantle]

Thank you!! See you soon!!

[pulsar mantle]

Yes you’ll be fine inside to warm up if you’re cold outside! 🙂

[dense mist]

Dang I would’ve said we should hit it together!!! But have hella fun in Okinawa

[dense mist]

Also your name is 10/10, shoutout Key!! Did you ever see any of the 4 hour VS shows where he played it? Or Second Sky?

[gusty flare]

Unfortunately no. Didn't get into VS until last year

[digital depot]

I woulda been so down 😭 but it's gonna be so fun in Okinawa, meeting a 10+ year online friend for the first time!!

[pliant smelt]

@sudden carbon @pulsar mantle I think yall are the only peeps I’ve met before who are going to these shows. Are yall doing all 4?

[pulsar mantle]

Yes I will be at all 4!

[pliant smelt]

LITTY

Hopefully I can meet up with yall for Tokyo and Fukuoka shows

[pulsar mantle]

Yeah absolutely!

I’m currently in the sky, this plane is adorable

[pliant smelt]

I about to take off

Fighting for my life with united wifi

[dense mist]

Does anyone know if there’s a list of items allowed inside per venue or for the shows overall? I’m wondering if I can bring a small backpack or plush backpack (my Potaro backpack) and if they allow in vapes 😅

[pulsar mantle]

Backpack should be OK, vape is a absolute no i believe

[pulsar mantle]

Bless you for flying United soldier

[broken isle]

I’ll be at Tokyo and Fukuoka. I’d love to meet up with some Porter peeps 😁

[wispy crag]

Cards omg!!

[pliant smelt]

It was an accident lol

I thought I was booking ANA but it was a codeshare flight

[hollow glacier]

The collectible cards look so cool

[peak terrace]

yall you can get the VIP upgrades at lawsons !!

find the event you want and look for this lawson Loppi code (should be different code per venue, but if you're going to osaka you can use this!)
when you find a lawsons, find the Loppi machine
use google translate (camera) until you get to the point where you can pay, there doesnt seem to have an english mode on the machine
give the receipt to the counter, pay and theyll print the ticket for you there

you can get the main tickets themselves too of course

for me i could only figure out how to get the main tickets online, couldnt find the upgrades so this was a great find

[dense mist]

Down to meet up!

[dense mist]

Thank you for this info!! I’m gonna bring my Potaro backpack then

[broken isle]

Hyyyype! What show/shows are you going to?

[dense mist]

I’ll be at all 4 and looking to meet friends since I’m solo :)

I have a vision of the Porter frens getting some food or drinks post show together too. Would be so cool!!

[broken isle]

Amazing!!! That's also my dream ahaha . I'll be solo for most of my trip as well. I'm just meeting some friends to snowboard in between the shows I'm seeing but I'm 1000% down to go out and have fun!

[dense mist]

So cool!! Have an amazing time snowboarding, I have friends that went in the winter and said it was AMAZING!!

Worst case I’ll definitely be messaging on the show dates to see who in here is down to meet up before/after the show :)

[fluid flare]

Most of central Japan got like 300cm of snow in the past 5 days

I'd love to go snowboarding, but I have work ;-;

[inland jacinth]

how early are yall getting to the venue for tokyo?? I saw doors are at 6 but im not sure, is that when they start calling numbers o:

[broken isle]

OH DANGGG! That sounds amazing!

[hollow glacier]

Did you need an account or a Japanese phone number?

[peak terrace]

no account

i did leave a phone number but they said its only used for contacting you if theres a problem

no verification

[hollow glacier]

It looks like it says you need to buy it online first for me

Ahh looks like Tokyo show requires online first but Osaka you can buy at the machine

[pulsar mantle]

Probably early only cause I want merch and to meet up with people

[pulsar mantle]

Omfg I did that before, one of my last flights to Japan I tried to book ANA and didnt realize it was United until I got to the airport 😭😭😭😭

[hollow glacier]

Got it online, now changed from over 1000 to close to 100 as the entry number

[sly tusk]

is this for your VIP ticket?

[hollow glacier]

Yeah

[sly tusk]

how did you get it?

[hollow glacier]

So I purchased online then picked up with the code at Loppi

[sly tusk]

I need to get mine still

oh hmm

[peak terrace]

woah

[finite niche]

How does one person get so lucky

[pliant smelt]

I have many Japan food recs

Best places to go solo will always be hole in the wall mom and pop shops tho

It could be hard to do food or drinks after if there is a lot of us, many places you need to reserve in advance if your party is bigger than 3-5

But I’m down to try

[final oasis]

wait, but Namba is not gonna be with assignes seats, is it?

[finite niche]

I always worry about this. I’ll end up in the most random Izakayas that way

Or just consider cooking for yourself if on a budget

[gusty flare]

Successfully landed at Haneda :D

[pulsar mantle]

Hatch has assigned seating and floor

[pulsar mantle]

Yay congrats!!!

I have about 2 hours to go

[dense mist]

Omg I welcome any and all food recs!! And you do make a good point with the reservations, but maybe we could hit something catered to larger groups! I went with 8 ppl my first time so it was a struggle but we found some gyoza and beer places or drink spots that seated larger parties :)

I do agree that larger groups there are a lot more inconvenient, and we did end up splitting off into groups and such often :)

But it also depends on who will wanna meet up and go! We can always figure something out!

[dense mist]

Oooo good point actually, I was speaking more in general but I do think some are standing :)

[near wagon]

For the zaiko tickets do we pick up at Lawson or digital?

Is anyone else going to see wave dash on the 9th I’d love too meet up!

[near wagon]

Also going solo too the show if you wanna meet up! 😄

[final oasis]

ohh thanks for the clarification, bc mine says floor tickets haha

landing Saturday morning and going to see Tricot at night, so excited to be back

[digital depot]

Tysm for this, the osaka show was the only one I couldn't get vip for this will help so much, bless you

[dense mist]

I will be there :) Down to meet up!

[pliant smelt]

I have landed in nippon

[near wagon]

I have sent ya a message 😄

[broken isle]

LETS GOOO!

[peak terrace]

np! knew there were other people struggling with it

[pulsar mantle]

Landed, exchanged rail pass, about to head off to Ikebukuro ITS REAL!

[signal crescent]

Anyone go to Tokyo or Fukuoka？

[pliant smelt]

I’m about to eat some ramen and go to bed lol

[signal crescent]

I'm taking my sister, who doesn't know much about porters, on the tour in Fukuoka, hope she enjoys it.

[pliant smelt]

PSA for anyone coming to Japan for the first time: by law you need to have your passport on your person AT ALL TIMES. Yes it’s annoying, yes it sucks, yes it’s unlikely you’ll be stopped by police, but you don’t want to be the person in here who ruins your trip if police stop you for any reason and you don’t have proof you are allowed to be in the country.

[broken isle]

Ayyy these are the 2 shows I’ll be at 😁

[signal crescent]

Let's have fun if we meet up on the day!٩( 'ω' )و

[gusty grove]

Imma go Fukuoka but I'm Japanese... Hope you and ur sister like Fukuoka

[signal crescent]

I’m Japanese Too‼️ I'm not very good at English, so I use DeepL😅

[gusty grove]

Damn! In that case, we can talk in Japanese tho... I'm not quite sure that we are allowed to use

[fluid flare]

全然大丈夫

Don't see why it would be a problem

[fossil oar]

I’m glad there’s another Japanese person here! Same for me. I was just going to introduce Ariake Garden and leave, but I’m having so much fun chatting here that I ended up sticking around.

[hollow glacier]

I was recently in Fukuoka and it was fantastic, the Hakata ramen was delicious

[white cloak]

Idk if I have the right to say this but please, feel free to do so

[hollow glacier]

Kyushu was very cold compared to my expectation though, lots of snow this time

[signal crescent]

Fukuoka is so cold 🥶

[hollow glacier]

Now I am in Sapporo visiting Yuki Matsuri before the Porter Robinson concert in Tokyo so it is even colder here

[dense mist]

Patiently waiting for my flight in 3.5 hours 🥹 I cannot wait to be in Japan!!!

[gusty grove]

おっけい！スペイン語チャンネルはあるけど他の言語はないからダメなのかなと思った

[gusty grove]

ai man thx

[gusty grove]

cool! I'm glad you like it
Even Japanese say it is too stinky to eat so I usually don't recommend Hakata ramen tho
If anyone wants to know my fav Hakata ramen I'll let you know couple them

[fossil oar]

I'm 75 for Tokyo. I've never been to Tokyo Garden Theater before, but with this number, do you think I have a chance to get front row?

[fluid flare]

I know someone named Jimmy who is in Sapporo at the Yuki matsuri right now, that's not you tho, I think... Is your name Jimmy?

[hollow glacier]

Yes my name is Jimmy

Where is your Jimmy from?

[fluid flare]

The Netherlands....

[hollow glacier]

Ok it’s not me lol

[fluid flare]

Okok

Dude you scared me lol

[hollow glacier]

Us Jimmys just like coming here I guess lol

[fluid flare]

Sapporo is a Jimmy magnet

[broken isle]

Lmao I’m not very good at Japanese 😅 so maybe we can help each other out ahah

[unreal scarab]

I'm finally boarding the plane to Japan!

[pliant smelt]

IM GOING TO HARAJUKU TODAY

https://tenor.com/view/porter-robinson-anticipation-scheming-planing-evil-smile-gif-7636629204410897050

[pulsar mantle]

Same. Shibuya too

[pliant smelt]

[pliant smelt]

Morning or evening?

I’m actually staying in Shibuya lol

[gusty flare]

I picked up my tokyo ticket from 7/11!

[broken isle]

I heard that shit is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S 😂

[hollow comet]

nah u go to kabukicho for that

[pulsar mantle]

We’re staying in Ikebukuro, but traveling around to putz around Tokyo

Got to hit up Uniqlo

[pliant smelt]

Kabukicho is spooky at night

I don’t like being chased by touts lol

Which unfortunately I do because I’m as white lookin as it gets

[pulsar mantle]

Definitely spooky at night

I ended up there a few times

[obtuse hearth]

Hey guys, I recently joined the server so I’m pretty OOTL but picked up my ticket at 7-11 today. My ticket number (standing) is 1004 - how cooked am I?

[fluid flare]

A challenger approaches

[broken isle]

Lmao

[obtuse lantern]

for what show? i'd say a little cooked 🫡

[obtuse hearth]

Tokyo 😭😭

[obtuse lantern]

also @ ppl going to wavedash in tokyo; when are u guys planning on going ?? i was thinking 18:00 or sth, i dont mind missing the first two acts

[obtuse lantern]

it's a 〜7000 ppl venue so 1000 is probably not that bad !!

[obtuse hearth]

Ohhh okay that’s a little better to know - the venue also doesn’t look too big so should probably be a good time still 💪

[obtuse lantern]

yeah ive never been there yet but it looks pretty nice from the pics ive seen https://www.shopping-sumitomo-rd.com/tokyo_garden_theater/hall/

[obtuse hearth]

Thanks for the link! Honestly can’t wait for it - it’s gonna be my first porter concert and getting to see him live after watching secret and second sky online is insane

Btw what time are you planning to head to the venue?

Also does anyone know if Nurture’s CD is available somewhere in Tokyo? I tried looking at disk union in shinjuku but failed

[broken isle]

Ohh you’re going to love it 😁 it’s an amazing concert! I saw it in Seattle a few months back and I felt all of the things 💜

[obtuse hearth]

Heading to akihabara today

[obtuse lantern]

it's also gonna be my first time seeing him !! idk abt other ppl but i was thinking of going to the venue before lunch to eat somewhere in that area n then go get the collectible cards at 16:00

[obtuse hearth]

Oooh that’s a smart move

[obtuse lantern]

i was reading the guidelines for the fansign on the 15th and apparently they'll start giving the serial numbers on the 11th. how fast do we think they're gonna sell out ?? cause ik many of us will be in osaka on the 11th rip 💀

[dense mist]

Oooooo this is a great idea! I may do the same!

[dense mist]

I honestly have no clue when, I was gonna at least see if folks were down to meet up before or somethin!

Idk any of the other artists on the line up but I could either go at doors or go in later, I’m flexible. Wanna see Wavedash

[queen nebula]

Hey guys I don’t talk much on here but I monitor the chat from time to time haha! Any way I leaving in 10 hours for Tokyo! I hope to see you guys at the Tokyo show 🫶🎌

[obtuse lantern]

someone mentioned there's a cafe where they always play music by the artist playing at Garden Theater that night , i wanna check that out too

[obtuse lantern]

same

[dense mist]

If you would be willing to have company I would absolutely love to tag along to that. Sounds super fun!

[obtuse lantern]

have a good flight !!

[obtuse lantern]

yess i need to look up the name of the place tho haha

[inland jacinth]

what that’s so cool!

[dense mist]

For sure! Definitely lmk if you find it I’m down to meet for Wavedash tmr too. I might meet @digital depot after the show depending on when the flight arrives!

[obtuse lantern]

apparently it's a whole mall not a café oops but it's Ariake Garden! Bonnet mentioned a few months ago here #1234131629455441970 message

[obtuse lantern]

yayy !! i'm going to wavedash by myself so yeah i'd love to meet more ppl there, the whole thing ends at 21:00 so maybe we can go get food/drinks or sth after the show

[fluid flare]

I'm bringing many tissues

[dense mist]

I am also going solo down for food & drinks after as well! I sent you a request, we can try and get some ppl together!

[peak terrace]

merch

plus smile CDs I assume? cause of the whole card thing

[pulsar mantle]

Does anyone know what floor of Tower Porter’s album is at?

[inland jacinth]

the meet and greet notice said to checkout on the 7F so I assume it’s there?

unless that’s just for that specific day :T

[gusty flare]

Anyone have recommendations for somewhere to get lunch in Shibuya?

[hollow comet]

dw im right w u bro

[finite niche]

Give me a few hours, I’ll be going by there next

[gusty flare]

I was just there and couldn't find it lol

[finite niche]

They might just be using that floor for the meet and greet. It’s for events IIRC

[finite niche]

Did you check EDM or alternative rock lol

[gusty flare]

I couldn't find an EDM area

I might be blind lol

[finite niche]

They have a whole row for video game OST soez~

[gusty flare]

I saw that

Apparently they have them

[pliant smelt]

I went last time I was in Japan because it’s talked about online as like “OMG the red light district in kabukicho is so mysterious” but tbh it’s just kinda sad

Just girls lined up on the street, homeless kids, and Nigerian guys trying to scam you

[finite niche]

Sounds right

[peak terrace]

anyone think its possible to camp and meet him apart from the designated m&g? i cant make it to the shibuya one and i dont feel like doing a gacha loll

[finite niche]

Some red light districts are ok. One in Shibuya near Club Asia was cool

I mean, about as cool as a red light district could be

[pliant smelt]

I have spotted my mark

[gusty flare]

Are you in the plane rn?

[pliant smelt]

I’m at Shibuya sky roof

[finite niche]

How much was the elevator ticket, I might go this evening

[pliant smelt]

It’s like twenty bucks I think, you have to buy it days in advance tho usually

[pliant smelt]

Earliest day rn on klook is Feb 12 looks like

[finite niche]

On klook maybe

:/

[pliant smelt]

If you want a view you can get to today I’d try Tokyo sky tree or Tokyo tower

Or Tokyo metropolitan building during weekdays

I think that viewing deck is free

Exclusive cards for the tour with vinyl purchase

[finite niche]

Not mine

I’m going by to possibly get mine right now

[pulsar mantle]

The date was changed to the 11th

We must buy it at Tower on the 11th

[pulsar mantle]

I just left. What floor?

[finite niche]

I don’t know

[pulsar mantle]

Or which tower

Which tower did you head to?

[finite niche]

Tower Records Shibuya

[finite niche]

Porter fans when reading comprehension:

I haven’t been yet

[pulsar mantle]

I couldn’t find the album anywhere

I was like am I crazy

[pulsar mantle]

I can read. It took me a minute, let me buffer

Looks like it!

[finite niche]

I’ll have an answer for you shortly

[digital depot]

I land around 6, should be at my hotel and settled by about 9 so that would work out for me to meetup with you two for some food and stuff!!

[coral venture]

I went to Tower Records in Shibuya yesterday, I saw the Nurture CD im pretty sure on the 7th floor. It was in the back area of that floor on a shelf.

[finite niche]

Found it!

[hollow comet]

where is wavedash tmrw?

if yall go out ill join

[hollow glacier]

Are the cards only at tower records Shibuya?

Might try Tower Records Sapporo if not

[finite niche]

Iglooghost!

This album was so good

[gusty flare]

Wait whaaat what floor?

[finite niche]

The one with used CDs

It’s near the back

[gusty flare]

Well time to walk back to tower records lol

I'm not too far luckily

Are you able to get the trading cards?

[hollow glacier]

According to the website Shibuya has a special design

【特典対象店舗】
タワーレコードオンライン
タワーレコード全店（一部店舗除く）
※渋谷店は別絵柄となります。詳細は店舗までお問い合わせください。

[finite niche]

Let me check for you

[finite niche]

I’m still checking haha, small language barrier

[dense mist]

Whaaaaaat! I will be going today for sure then :)

[finite niche]

So again it like, includes the card plus an entry into a raffle to meet Porter?

So I’m understanding the system correctly

@gusty flare if you want the regular trading card today you won’t get entered into the raffle

If you want the raffle entry you have to buy it on the 11th or later

[dense mist]

Ooooooooo

Interesting

[finite niche]

Personally I’m still tempted to buy since I don’t really care about the raffle

Technically the raffle entry doesn’t even come with a trading card

[dense mist]

Yeah I’m kinda in the same boat tbh, I lowkey want the trading card

And the CDs would be cool, didn’t get the shelter Japan CD and I’m bummed

[finite niche]

Final answer

So all three Tokyo stores have different Porter card designs

[broken isle]

[finite niche]

Shibuya cards haven’t opened up yet. You can get the card and the entry at Shibuya on the 11th only

Otherwise, you can go to the other stores if you need the card now and don’t care about the entries

[obtuse lantern]

they're gonna be giving them away at the merch stand for ppl who buy merch on the day of the show, starting at 16:00 for Tokyo

[obtuse lantern]

pogg

[gusty flare]

So there's no raffle for tokyo?

[obtuse lantern]

CIRCUS in shibuya !! https://circus-tokyo.jp/

[pliant smelt]

Best drink in Japan right here

[hollow glacier]

They just had this design in Sapporo

They had only two qualifying products available for purchase but more than a dozen cards lol so idk what the deal with that is

[finite niche]

There is

[finite niche]

Which store did you go to?

[hollow glacier]

Parco Sapporo Tower Records

[gusty flare]

How do you enter it?

[pulsar mantle]

I’ll have to go back tomorrow or later today

I’d like a card!

[fossil oar]

I found this guy with beautiful eyes at Tower Vinyl in Umeda!

[pliant smelt]

Yeah tower Shibuya ain’t got shit lol

Porters name isn’t even in the electronic section

Skrillex and zedd are though

[peak terrace]

possibly spreading it out over days

[hollow glacier]

They also had a CD but said it didn’t qualify since it was a foreign imported one

[finite niche]

I heard he kisses other guys

[peak terrace]

im stressed im heading to my nearby tower records in ~3h hopefully theres one there

[finite niche]

Also stop by the nearby GIGO if you’re a complete loser (like me)

[dense mist]

I’m definitely planning on hitting food & drinks after! Sounds like @obtuse lantern and @digital depot might be joining us :3

[finite niche]

They have a fangamer shop

[peak terrace]

i just got one a few days back but ill just sell it off heh

[dense mist]

Circus Tokyo!

[hollow comet]

cool shibuya is close enough

lowk just chilling this weekend so ill wanna come out

2100 is good time too

[dense mist]

I’m down to hit those with you after food n drinks?

I’m staying in Shibuya so I might just have to go change etc. but def wanna go out while I’m here on the weekend :)

[digital depot]

Seeing all these trading cards, I'm gonna bring some sleeves and some top loaders in case anyone wants them!

Lots of sleeves but only have about 20 top loaders on hand

[dense mist]

Maybe we should go on a side quest to find the trading cards on the 10th before the show!

[digital depot]

Yesssssss

I love trading cards so I absolutely want some

[dense mist]

I also wanna hit Ariake Garden for sure, maybe for lunch before doors or something

[digital depot]

Yeah!! That's right next to the venue right

[dense mist]

Yeah!! And maybe that would be a good place for ppl to meet up on the 10th :) might make things easy for food and meet ups

[hollow comet]

😭 i wish i could go out on monday

[digital depot]

I be packing rn, about 12hrs until my flight

[obtuse hearth]

Was able to find it, thank you!
