Tokkis Fan Meet

[violet solstice]

[brisk pagoda]

You can take photos and record via phone

Just not dslr

I mean you can risk it

But if you get caught bye bye

[honest tapir]

with phones, you can't but you can. staff will tell you to stop it

[long veldt]

In Japan, they are very strict about the whole filming/photography thing during shows.

Unless the artist explicitly allows it, its not usually allowed

and they are very strict on it

They are permitted to boot you out of the venue if they catch you without warning

Usually staff will warn you once and then if they catch you again, they will remove you from the venue.

Some staff won't warn you, they'll just boot you.

That's why Japanese fancams are relatively rare

[mellow sierra]

Wait so yes or no photos at this newjeans event?

[honest tapir]

just assume no

well they said no, so no need to even assume

[mellow sierra]

Okay thanks

I’ll take mental pics

And make sure my lightstick doesn’t go above chest height

[violet solstice]

Just don't get caught

[long veldt]

What it basically boils down to

I believe in some cases

They can actually kick you out of the fanclub

and give you a lifetime ban

[violet solstice]

[long veldt]

Japan is very strict about the whole no filming thing

With IU, everyone kept trying to sneak video

but it wasn't until encore when we got tons of video because IU explicitly told everyone filming was permitted for the encore

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah the artist will tell staff if they allow you to use your phones, it’s going to be put out on the big screen if you are allowed to or not anyways.

But mostly all jp concerts don’t allow recordings or whatsoever

[brisk pagoda]

Well they can’t kick you out of the fan club if your ticket is a general presale ticket, also you can say no that you’re not part of the fan club so you wouldn’t get kicked out of weverse fan club. You’ll only be banned for fan club like the Jp weverse fan club if you bought tickets using your Fan club number and of course if you didn’t do what you agreed to do when you win a ticket. (Did not pay for it).

[brisk pagoda]

Lifetime ban does happen if the person doing it has been caught multiple times, I’ve never heard of someone getting banned for life for being caught one time. Unless that has changed.

[mellow sierra]

I won’t risk it. Too scary

[brisk pagoda]

Just follow rules lmao

They will put the information on the big screen if they allow you to pull your phone out

[mellow sierra]

Hopefully in English too 💀🫣🤪

[brisk pagoda]

They are mostly stricter with their Japanese idols and bands than kpop groups

Which is why their kpop concerts in Japan got some parts where people were recording it and putting it up on twitter and such but those were all allowed before the song starts

[brisk pagoda]

It’s in jp and English

But with newjeans case, all 3 lol

With morning musume, akb groups, and even my rev.dvl group with jpop. I have no recordings of the concerts I went to because all of their stuff can be bought as dvd lol. Now it’s all bluray

Tbh I think that’s why they don’t allow you to record, because every concert you will go to will have a Blu-ray or dvd to buy haha. They profit from it I guess

[mellow sierra]

Oh. I assumed it was to encourage people to actually go to the concerts

Idk why I assumed that

[brisk pagoda]

Oh no lol

Japanese loves to go to concerts

And they love music

[mellow sierra]

Newjeans won’t have those Blu-ray’s right

Damn they just like me fr

[brisk pagoda]

It depends on what the promoters will do

This is why most idol groups try to debut in JP

Even before K-pop exploded worldwide

When it comes to music, Japan is like I don’t know if it’s still true but they are like 2nd when it comes to buying music and such with any other country

Idolism started in Japan, but Korea basically upgraded that when they adopted that to their music system

[plush glade]

I would expect the Yearbook product for the end of this year to have a digital code which includes this upcoming Bunnies Camp. Exactly what happened last year.

[mellow sierra]

Ohhh thank you

[plush glade]

I'd prefer physical media tbh but I won't expect anything but digital.

But I'm probably in the minority.

[mellow sierra]

Burn it into a DVD for the vibes

Nah I’m with you

I still use CDs in my car

totally not bc the Bluetooth doesn’t work

[plush glade]

Blu-ray best bitrate and like if NewJeans gets of Weverse then do all their paid videos go away too (Season's Greetings and Yearbook videos)?

Probably not tbh Hybe owns all that.

But one day it'll be gone.

[mellow sierra]

I can’t download it?

Booo

[long veldt]

Main reason but also to not ruin the experience for others

[long veldt]

Correct just the Japanese fan club

[plush glade]

Not officially. Not easily at all to find a method to actually download it. Easier to screen record it.

Anyway so I should expect to come home and not be able to show any actual photographical proof I attended the fan meeting unless they give explicit permission on the screens?

lol after coming home if people ask to see I'm gonna have to do some explaining to them on how things work in Japan.

[mellow sierra]

Just bring a ziplock bag and bag the air. That’s proof enough

Bonus points you can see it on eBay to recoup plane ticket costs 🤪

[plush glade]

I'm gonna capture one of the stray bubbles that they're gonna have for stage practical effects and bring it home. I hope it doesn't pop.

[long veldt]

Kpop fans are already aware of how this works in Japan

So no surprise there

[long veldt]

Obviously you just steal minji water bottle

And then find a way to preserve the DNA on the rim

(That’s sarcasm)

[mellow sierra]

**furiously scribbles notes **

[long veldt]

@mellow sierra nah just go see Japanese minji

Seriously I expect a lot of new jeans fans to do that

[brisk pagoda]

I’ll steal their water bottles and sell it for big profits

And tell the buyers these are from the concert

[mellow sierra]

Wait i thought minji was Japanese /j

[plush glade]

Me too, please, if you have another one to spare! Thanks!

[long veldt]

XPRJT4UD

[plush glade]

Thanks. I'll see if it works.

[plush glade]

Didn't work.

Oh sorry it says I have to make my purchase in-app, ignore.

[plush glade]

Hmm thanks it works in app but I don't think I should check out now because it will activate immediately and end before I get to Japan lol
Is there a way to have it activate at a later date but use the discount code now?
Or will I have to use your discount code closer to when I arrive in Japan?

[long veldt]

That I'm not sure

[plush glade]

What about you, did you do it already using MrT's code?

I think we have to wait until later and then I'll ask you MrT. Hopefully I remember.

Looks like Klook has better deals tbh but I'll look closer to the date.

[long veldt]

Careful with those, sometimes their service is terrible

[plush glade]

Oh rly hmm ok thanks for letting me know

[mellow sierra]

I was not. I figured I was doing it wrong/ill figure it out later when I need it

[gritty rivet]

Phew, made it just in time for bunnies camp

[quick cave]

Is it safe to buy tickets for bunnies camp off of twitter? they say pay beforehand to prevent cancellations but I feel like I'm just asking to be scammed if I do that

they gave proof that they have the tickets

[violet solstice]

Kinda tough because tickets won't be available for pickup until June 15

Which is why I'm not charging Finix until I actually hand over the ticket

[quick cave]

Also, if the person with the bunnies club membership brings another person as a guest (the "guest" is the person they sold the ticket to) the guest has to enter with the membership holder right? Like the person I'm talking to is saying that the non-member can enter on their own.

[violet solstice]

As far as I know yeah, need to be with the membership holder. But I've never done this before so someone else might know better than me

[honest tapir]

one possibility is you only need to be with the membership holder for bracelet claiming, then after that you can enter on your own

[golden sequoia]

[long veldt]

Singapore is good

[zinc pine]

what are resell prices like rn?

im so desperate i might just go resell

[quick cave]

the ones ive gotten are 50000 and 35000. I laughed the 50000 one off but now im wondering if that was fair

the 35000 one is the one im thinking is a scam but im not sure

also theyre both premium and communicating in japanese

[gritty rivet]

My fav airline

But travelling 20 hours was worse than i thought

[long veldt]

Its definitely my number 3

[gritty rivet]

Yo the ladies at the ticket machine said they dont sell suica anymore

only on phone

[long veldt]

At the airport?

Yeah they probably don't have anymore at the airports

You need to head to a JR east travel center in Tokyo

[gritty rivet]

but maybe that was just at the airport yeah, ill grab one at a konbini

[long veldt]

They don't sell them at konbinis

[gritty rivet]

travel center? aye sir

[long veldt]

You need to head to a JR east travel center

like at Shibuya, Shinjuku, Tokyo Station, Ueno, etc

It'll cost 2000 yen, but the actual SUICA is only 500 yen

the other 1500 is just thrown onto your card for fare usage

However if you have an iphone, just use that instead.

If you're android, then yeah you need physical SUICA

[gritty rivet]

Yeah the pasmo was 1500 yen without a charge for the card

After 28 days ill get a real one

And the eSim is working great so far, for anyone unsure about it

[honest tapir]

are you gonna be in japan until bunnies camp?

[gritty rivet]

no ill fly to korea first

then back to tokyo for 2 days

[quick cave]

guys I need help. How sure are we that raffle ticket winners must enter tokyo dome at the same time as their +1

[golden sequoia]

i think its the safest to go in at the same time

they say the checks will be random but not sure how strict itll be.

[honest tapir]

just ordered this, but the version with built-in cable. pretty cool, super fast charges my s23 ultra

[plush glade]

Oh yeah I got that two days ago and have been using it. Seems good.

[astral arrow]

[halcyon venture]

baseball game in Japan is a must

[gritty rivet]

fr?

i mean yeah fuck it, why not

im there for the new experiences

[brisk pagoda]

Experience it

Japanese baseball is a whole another level of being a fan

[gritty rivet]

in comparison to americans probably, cant be better than european football

but yes, im in the ticket counter line before it even opened

[gritty rivet]

Guess im going

[brisk pagoda]

Nice

Have fun following the cheering

[gritty rivet]

Im Gaijin, im excused

Goddamn, todays the match of 1st against 2nd

[honest tapir]

can you choose seats? or just section

[gritty rivet]

Section

They got like different seating sections, mine is Aurora B i think

[gritty rivet]

no idea what the venue looks like during a concert

but the S seats and balcony is mad far away

[honest tapir]

send pic

of view

[gritty rivet]

but the balcony seats look comf

[honest tapir]

those screens better be big

[honest tapir]

you're on ss rn right

[gritty rivet]

[mellow sierra]

Newjeans selling beer and snacks

[little steppe]

There will be embezzlement of beer and snack 🥶

[honest tapir]

what a weird thing to say

[gritty rivet]

of who

[fossil marsh]

does anyone need ticket to bunnies camp? i have an extra s seat that im selling

[long veldt]

How much are the tickets?

I'm mildly curious

[fossil marsh]

prob will just sell it for how much i got it for, which is like $133 CAD

[long veldt]

Which day is it?

[fossil marsh]

it will be for the 26th, kira said he might want to get the one on 27th from me, but if he managed to get tickets then i will prob be selling both days for $265 CAD

[long veldt]

I'll see if you can find a real fan to sell it to first

I'd be only going out of mild interest, curiosity, and slight boredom

[fossil marsh]

alrighty 👌

[astral arrow]

reconsidering going day 2 vs day 1 cuz of the closer seat

[gritty rivet]

tf, if u got 2 tickets you go on both

you can just vibe on one day and scream your lungs out on the other one

[astral arrow]

im only going to be in japan for 10 days 😭

was planning to go to kyoto on the 2nd day

[long veldt]

For how long?

because I wouldn't do Kyoto unless you had a solid 4 days

Also be warned that you're going to Kyoto during the middle of summer

so its going to be very crowded

[gritty rivet]

cant be worse than asakusa in golden week

[astral arrow]

was planning 5 tokyo, 3 days kyoto, 2 osaka

[long veldt]

Nothing is worse than being in Japan during golden week lol

[long veldt]

That should be fine, though I would tell you just to stay in Osaka and day trip it to Kyoto

Osaka is significanlty cheaper to stay in and the commute is only about 40-60 minutes each way

What I usually suggest to people is this

Osaka is relatively boring during the day, its more of an evening/night life type place.

Kyoto is the opposite in that everything a tourist would want to do is during the morning and day

So its better to do Kyoto for your morning/afternoon and then head back to Osaka for nightlife/dinner.

[gritty rivet]

Hey MrT, do i need to buy shinkansen tickets to kyoto before the day i travel or can i just buy them at the train station in a ticket machine?

[long veldt]

You can do either, but you get a discount if you do them several days in advance

[gritty rivet]

yeah like, tokyo to kyoto, kyoto to osaka, osaka to tokyo

round trip

[long veldt]

No need for shinkansen between osaka and kyoto

You can just take local trains

Unless you want to spend like 5x more money to save 20 minutes

[gritty rivet]

was just wondering if the seats ever fill up on shinkansen or if theres always space

[long veldt]

Pretty much never unless its a major holiday like golden week or NYE

[gritty rivet]

Golden week is now and im leaving monday in 2 weeks so i should be good then

[long veldt]

You really only need a shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto

and then from Osaka to Tokyo

Which means using this site - https://smart-ex.jp/en/index.php

Use your amex/mastercard, it doesn't like visas

You can download the app and scan the QR code at the IC gate

or you can pick up the ticket at the station

You probably don't need green car, so just stick with normal car

and since everyone asks

If you want to see Mt Fuji, pick a E seat in the normal cars or the D seat in the green cars

Same lettering no matter which direction you're going

[gritty rivet]

ah ok ill buy it online then, seems easy, thanks!

[long veldt]

If you're heading out of Tokyo station, make sure you stop by the daimaru dept store

and pick up some ekiben

[gritty rivet]

Aah yes, the mandatory shinkansen bento

[long veldt]

Once you enter daimaru, you'll see a big omiyage (souvenir) area

[gritty rivet]

still need to get my first ever famichicki

[long veldt]

Go down a floor to the ekiben floor

Something like this should run you like $10 USD

I'd also get a curry croquette

If you've never had one

[long veldt]

Its okay

I would strongly recommend not to eat too much konbini food

[gritty rivet]

japan is making me fat fr

[long veldt]

Just walk a lot

I usually did 10-30,000 steps a day

[gritty rivet]

think i'll go to enoshima on sunday, that was on my bucket list for like 6 years

[gritty rivet]

damn, i only did 11k, 16k and 17k so far

[long veldt]

Do Kamakura and Enoshima

1. Great Bhudda
2. Hokokuji Temple

[long veldt]

Feel free to steal from my itinerary - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B0odgnDwARAPj0kIITZiGC4p5rTxUNajqjmqh1TRXdA/edit?usp=sharing

@gritty rivet Typically my daily routine would involve lunch

Then afternoon tea 1 and 2, maybe 3

and then dinner later on

[gritty rivet]

what the

mine is lunch (optional) and dinner

[long veldt]

Sometimes I'll do a breakfast, but not always.

Depends on if my hotel has a breakfast that's free or already included in my room rate

Some hotels have a pretty good breakfast spread

[gritty rivet]

i just cant fit that much food in my stomach, wish i could haha

[long veldt]

Yeah I usually do lunch

afternoon tea, which is usually some tea and maybe a dessert/snack

I may do a 2nd one later on if I find something interesting

and then I'll do a light dinner

but honestly I didn't really keep track of what I was eating that much

but I was walking so much that I still lost 10-15 pounds

[astral arrow]

thanks this sounds like a great plan - will be doing this

any must try food spots u recommend?

[long veldt]

Feel free to steal from my list https://maps.app.goo.gl/WC8vCaV9u1cKfvkx9

[long veldt]

and if you're wondering where you should stay in Osaka

Somewhere between Osaka/Umeda and Namba.

Shinsaibashi and Dontonburi are the interesting nightlife areas, but I wouldn't eat in dontonburi, especially on the main street. You can't miss it, its filled with tourists.

Shinsaibashi on the other hand has a lot of fantastic restaurants.

@astral arrow Feel free to steal this

UMEDA AREA

Hankyu Kosho-no-machi : Multiple stores selling old books. In Hankyu SanBangai mall within Osaka-Umeda station.
Tenjinbashisuji: Typical Japanese arcade (shopping street). More local
Shin Umeda Shokadai. Cramped underground area with low ceilings. Filled with small restaurants with few seats
Kita-Shinchi – Bar and entertainment area. Illumined signs like Tokyo's Ginza
Umeda Sky Building : Decent view at night. Interesting building design
Nakanoshima Park – popular date spot and for couples with young children
Sonezaki (Ohatsutenjin)– Food and bar area in Umeda around the Tsuyuten Jinja shrine.
OhatsuTenjin Urasando - alley with bars, taverns & restaurants. Some outdoor seating
Umeda area Department stores – e.g. Din Tai Fung in LUCUA
Hankyu Grand Building - 30th and 31st floor has a food court with view of Osaka station cityscape

CENTRAL OSAKA

Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan - nice aquarium. Good rainy day option.
Tempozan – Mall for kids. Ferris wheel and other play areas
Tsuruhashi - The Korean town of Osaka. Shopping streets with open markets, Korean clothing stores, Korean bbq joints, super markets, etc.
Kyobashi – Area around the station has cheap eats and drinks. An after-work spot for locals.
Kitahama – Lots of different coffeeshops in the morning & afternoon. Some bars in the evening

MINAMI (NAMBA)

Amerikamura (Amemura) – Youth fashion, café’s, thrift stores, etc.
Tachibana-dori (Orange Street) – Originally a furniture area, but shifted to café’s, boutiques & clothing stores
Shinsaibashisuji – [Crowded evening] Japanese arcade (shopping street). Crowds are ok from morning to afternoon, but evening time, it gets extremely congested. Especially near Dotonbori and the Ebisubashi bridge
Dotonbori – [Crowded evening] Come for the lights, take a picture on Ebisubashi bridge with the Glico man sign. Food is just ok
Hozenji Temple – Tucked away surrounded by Hozenji yokocho. Splash water on the moss covered statue
Kuromon Ichiba Market – open air market. Food is expensive for what it is, but as an activity it is decent. At noon does get more foot traffic
Nipponbashi (Den Den town) – Tech, hobby, otaku area. Usual anime and arcade stuff. Stores open later 11am+
Sennichimae Doguyasuji - They have kitchen supplies and related stuff. Like Tokyo’s Kappanbashi.
Namba Yasaka Jinja – Weird shrine with a giant lion head stage
Shinsaibashi – The best food in Osaka is probably here
Dotonbori – There are a lot of chain restaurants around here. If you want to eat something specific, other locations around the city are usually less busy.
Hozenji Yokocho – mix of chain restaurants, and some of the best food in Osaka
Namba station area – Lot of places to eat in Namba parks mall & surrounding area
Uranamba Torame Yokocho – a indoor food hall with multiple restaurants “stalls”

ShiTennoji Temple
Shinsekai - "Old" area of Osaka. Mainly stop by for the lit-up signs and Tsutenkaku
Janjan Yokocho – part of Shinsekai. Food & bars. Lot of food tours visit here

use booking.com, agoda.com, or the main website of the hotel to find the best deals on hotels

[halcyon venture]

yeah next time im going to Japan im going to hit up Mr T first

[brisk pagoda]

I always stay near shinsaibashi in Osaka coz that’s where my gf is and it’s a good area to just shop and hang out due to a lot of places to find there

[honest tapir]

mrt do you have this but tokyo?

[long veldt]

I do not, but if you ask me what you want to do, I can give you a list

Tokyo is so massive, there's just too much to do.

[brisk pagoda]

I see you stay in Osaka more often than Tokyo with the list you have here lol

[long veldt]

Nah. Most of my time is in Tokyo

but Tokyo has so many interesting neigborhoods, it'd take me a few pages to list all the interesting stuff

[brisk pagoda]

Oh lol I stay more often in Osaka than in Tokyo

[long veldt]

I mostly stay in Tokyo for the interesting neigborhoods, but more importantly the music scene

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah

I’m more of the quiet scene so I’m Osaka than Tokyo lol

[honest tapir]

actually this is fine

nice food places

[long veldt]

That's really just restaurants and cafes

If you're wanting tourist stuff

I'll come up with a list later

Just ping me and remind me

[brisk pagoda]

List all the animals cafe’s

I haven’t been to an owl cafe and that big brown rodent

[long veldt]

I steer clear of animal cafes because I'm not in favor of them

Dogs and cats are mostly okay though

Owl ones I steer clear of because they aren't good

[brisk pagoda]

I go to a lot of cat cafe’s lol

[brisk pagoda]

Oh really?

[long veldt]

Owls are naturally nocturnal animals

Who are being kept awake all day

while being chained

[brisk pagoda]

Oh wth

[long veldt]

Can't have them flying all over the place

[brisk pagoda]

I mean true lol

[long veldt]

https://media.timeout.com/images/105603721/image.jpg

The capy cafes are fine

[brisk pagoda]

Oh this one, I keep forgetting the name of this rodent lmao

Capybara

I like the cat cafe’s where you can have a room for yourself

[astral arrow]

This is amazing and super helpful thanks imma hit up some of these places for sure

[gritty rivet]

Cafes are my natural enemy

No idea how to pronounce the different items, so its either take a photo and show them or just dont go

[brisk pagoda]

Nowadays all the cafe’s in Tokyo have an English menu

But you can just point on the picture and say hitotsu onegaishimasu or kore while pointing at the item.

[gritty rivet]

[ruby scroll]

[gritty rivet]

What floor is that even on bro

[brisk pagoda]

2nd floor

[gritty rivet]

Oh

[brisk pagoda]

s tickets are at top

Better view than floor

If everyone stands up lol

[ruby scroll]

for me it’s not the collection part but also other stuff that came up

[brisk pagoda]

The only reason I’m trying to buy a premium seat just so I can get the gift even if it’s just for one day

[ruby scroll]

anyways I’ll see how it goes

[gritty rivet]

I walked past it then lol

[brisk pagoda]

[brisk pagoda]

[gritty rivet]

What

Oh i asked about the floor in shibuya 109

I think we mixed it up

[brisk pagoda]

Oh shit

Well if it’s the K-pop floor

I think 7th floor

But the popup might be a floor by itself tbh

[honest tapir]

me too pls

[brisk pagoda]

So you’d have to ask them which one it is

[prisma quarry]

according to the website 1F for Clothing Store B1F for the merch store https://www.shibuya109.jp/blog/?pi3=330906

[brisk pagoda]

My number one thing I want from the popup if they have a newjeans mug,

[gritty rivet]

A mug is gonna be hard kira 😭

[gritty rivet]

I got no luggage

I got a small stack of the posters now, imma be at bunnies camp in the afternoon handing them out lol

[brisk pagoda]

Lmao you really will be bringing that to Korea and back go Japan

[gritty rivet]

What are people in shibuya even doing the whole day, theres nothing except 100 million people and restaurants that scam foreigners

[brisk pagoda]

Lol it's worse in the other areas than in Shibuya

[honest tapir]

gashapon, people watch

[prime sandal]

[prime sandal]

[gritty rivet]

[gritty rivet]

[brisk pagoda]

Okay they got the mug, so mug and photo set A to D for me finix.

[gritty rivet]

if its 3 items, decide between the 2

[brisk pagoda]

What you mean? Like you can only get two items due to limit per person?

[gritty rivet]

Yeah, it was written somehere

But maybe it was only for clothes idk

[brisk pagoda]

Oh yeah understandable if it's 2 per person as the limit

Then mug and glass for me , haerin glass and newjeans mug.

[gritty rivet]

no like, I can only buy 3 items, I'll get something for me, then something for you and something for mel

[brisk pagoda]

Ehh

[gritty rivet]

Or if mel isnt at bunnies camp, ill get 2 for you

[honest tapir]

i am

both days

[brisk pagoda]

You should be able to get more than one item in the store

[gritty rivet]

then its 1 and 1

Or you fistfight for it

[brisk pagoda]

But you're probably limited to 2 pc per item

[halcyon venture]

yes

idek what it is it’s not loading

[honest tapir]

gts tim

[brisk pagoda]

Square up like we doing some tiktok skit

[ruby scroll]

[halcyon venture]

[brisk pagoda]

[halcyon venture]

they don’t even have my pay check today

they messed up everyone’s salaries so now we have to wait

[brisk pagoda]

no direct deposit wth.

[halcyon venture]

we are all asking for updates

but the accountant giving no response

[brisk pagoda]

Oh hell nahhh

[gritty rivet]

Come to bunnies camp then

I finally got a suica now yaay

Im real japanese now

[brisk pagoda]

Which one you got? Penguin? Platypus?

[gritty rivet]

Penguin

[brisk pagoda]

Omg that pasmo card lol

[gritty rivet]

its very cute

[brisk pagoda]

Wait why you got pasmo and suica at the same time lol, you know you can use suica in buses too

[gritty rivet]

Pasmo is a tourist thing for 28 days only

Im staying longer than 28 days

[brisk pagoda]

Oh you got this from the airport right?

[gritty rivet]

Yee

Didnt have suica there

[brisk pagoda]

Dang I got the one with the Sakura flowers

They now have Sanrio ones wth

[gritty rivet]

Well, youll fly to japan

You can collect it lolol

[brisk pagoda]

lol I’m not even going to bring my cards, coz I’m using digital with my iPhone haha

[gritty rivet]

buy a few drinks at a vending machine do drain the balance and its worth it

[brisk pagoda]

True

I like their system so much with the suica cards

Coz it’s basically like a debit card anyways

You just put money and you can use it for bus, train, and convenience stores

[gritty rivet]

Vending machines are everything to me

[brisk pagoda]

Don’t get me started lmao

Going up a mountain by hiking and you see vending machines

At each stops

[gritty rivet]

Especially the cold milk teas and ice caffe latte

Mmm

[brisk pagoda]

Wait till you see those food vending machines haha

Bought a kombini from a vending machine and it was eel and rice…

I was like how do we not have this in other countries lmao

[uneven yacht]

they still have suica cards ? thought they had shortage

[uneven yacht]

only iphone

[brisk pagoda]

Not really, you can go to any jr east or station and buy suica cards out of Tokyo.

[brisk pagoda]

I have two phones lol.

I’m bringing both but iPhone mainly to use as my travel item

[uneven yacht]

i'll return my old pasmo to get a nice looking card

[gritty rivet]

Gotta say, central tokyo around the train station is veeeeeeery different to the rest of the area

Very western kinda

[honest tapir]

i think my pasmo still has that print of when you get a discount for a certain route

i miss working there

[brisk pagoda]

OFW?

[honest tapir]

no just a bit as part of company program

[brisk pagoda]

A lot of Filo’s work in Japan though, specifically in the airport

[honest tapir]

yeah i see them

[brisk pagoda]

Almost every where I went in NRT and HND, there are Filipino workers who speaks very fluent Japanese

I was like help me!!!!

[gritty rivet]

actually, why did i not just go in line for the cloth store too.... do i really go back to shibuya for that

[brisk pagoda]

@fringe zodiac, didn’t you get premium seats for both days?

[fringe zodiac]

Yea I'm going with my sister

👦🏻

[brisk pagoda]

But would you be willing to sell the 2nd day gift from premium to me? If you already have one for the 1st day?

[fringe zodiac]

Uhhhhhh

[brisk pagoda]

Coz if you have 4 premium seats, that means you get 4 gifts

[fringe zodiac]

I'm not sure if my sister wants the other one

Let me ask tomorrow

I'll let you know tomorrow

but the chances are highly unlikely

😦

[brisk pagoda]

Well let me know, coz you do get each gift per seat for premium holders

And it’s going to be the same gifts for both days

[fringe zodiac]

yea I'll lyk

don't get ur hopes up

she's not up right now

[brisk pagoda]

Oh I know lol, coz it’s going to be hard to find sellers for it unless they really want to profit from it

[fringe zodiac]

so I'll ask tmrw

[brisk pagoda]

[fringe zodiac]

Ty for understanding

🙏

[brisk pagoda]

If it’s pcs, I’ll definitely have to put a big price for it sigh

[honest tapir]

Official results are out

I lost

[brisk pagoda]

I lost too haha

From jp to Gen pre-sale lmao

I seriously don't have good luck with newjeans lucky draws

[faint yoke]

Do you guys know any resell sites for the event? Didnt get tickets

[gritty rivet]

I found that

not your banner tho

big hanni pham

[timber fractal]

does anyone even won premium tickets

[gritty rivet]

yeah, someone won 4x premium

[timber fractal]

so jealoussss😭

[brisk pagoda]

Nice

[plush glade]

Did anyone win from this general pre-order?

[brisk pagoda]

My bestie did who is also going to Japan with me lmao...while I'm here sulking coz I applied for all applications and yet he only applied for general pre-sale and won.

[plush glade]

That's poop.

I wonder if this is the final stage and all seats have sold out.

[brisk pagoda]

It's probably all sold out

[plush glade]

I hope you find someone selling an extra seat. 🤞

I can't wait to go. I've been driven down the Japan travel side of TikTok without even trying and I've watched so much I've become extremely indecisive on what I want to do. I've also started dreaming about it in my sleep lol.

[gritty rivet]

Its really cool ash

[timber fractal]

I think there will be a chance there will have extra seats after they finalized the floor plan / stages. They did blocked some areas which reserved for that purpose. They will release those the plan is fixed.

[golden sequoia]

[gritty rivet]

renz can i dm u real quick for a question

[shrewd delta]

yes i got 2 S tickets for both days im very grateful i dont have to deal with resellers 😁

[plush glade]

Nice!

[long veldt]

They are fine now, you just need to get them at a JR east travel center

So head to Ueno, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Tokyo etc

[golden sequoia]

oh sure

[gritty rivet]

congraats

no way kira lost 3 times bro thats so sad and weird 😭

[uneven yacht]

Is it gonna be still there in June ?

[long veldt]

No

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1124530991160102943/1236290058147987476/20240504_124502.jpg?ex=66377857&is=663626d7&hm=44a4aaa546dd10e415190d3fd1193438b063af6f1109f0db0c8a35d34cc828f2&=&format=webp&width=1213&height=910

Says it ends 5/19

[shrewd delta]

👏

[uneven yacht]

Oh

[long veldt]

@terse sleet Oh

So you wanted Tokyo places

What were you interested in?

Nature, shopping, anime, tourist sites, entertainment, food, etc?

[fringe zodiac]

@brisk pagoda 💔

You already know what she said

😢

[brisk pagoda]

dang even if its all the same...

its fine, there's probably gonna be resellers for the gifts if its like bunnies camp pcs for bunnies membership

[honest tapir]

are these sites legit? im trying to book flights, but i cant on the actual websites of the airlines so i might use these

(from skyscanner)

[long veldt]

I would typically NOT recommend booking from third party sites

and just book directly with the airline

If you ever run into any issues

The airline will refuse to help you because you booked through a third party and will refer you to the third party

whose customer support will almost always be absolute crap and provide you with little to no support

[honest tapir]

has anyone tried zip air

[long veldt]

Its a LCC, but its okay

just be warned you will have to pay for anything, food, water, etc

They are also strict on weight and dimensions of luggage

[honest tapir]

im used to that, in our neck of the woods LCC is the default option

[long veldt]

That being said. I would probably pay for an inflight meal

[honest tapir]

another thing im thinking about

[long veldt]

Hmm?

[honest tapir]

i could arrive by wednesday noon instead of tuesday

that would probably plenty of time for the concert, but im fucked in merch line no?

lol

[long veldt]

I would typically tell you to arrive the day before

You don't know what delay might pop up

[honest tapir]

btw how are merch queues in japan

do people line up early as in before sunrise

[long veldt]

Not sure about before sunrise, but typically several hours in advance

However merch is usually sold way before the concert so people can buy it and take it home

or back to their hotels

[honest tapir]

way before

but same day?

[long veldt]

Yeah

[honest tapir]

like in TGH then

early morning open

[long veldt]

Yeah usually

I'm sure they'll give exact hours closer to the fanmeeting

@honest tapir You sticking around for IU osaka?

[honest tapir]

no

already going to PH then hopefully encore

[astral arrow]

😭😭😭 wtf if i just had a few more days i could see iu too

[gritty rivet]

mel grab me a lightstick if i cant make it

[honest tapir]

sure

[long veldt]

@honest tapir How long are you spending in Japan?

[honest tapir]

most probably tues-sunday or saturday

still not sure

[long veldt]

kk

[honest tapir]

guys who are flying out just for the concert

how long are you staying

[honest tapir]

looking at maps tokyo dome kinda looks out of the way

there's no direct route to any of the usual touristy spots

[brisk pagoda]

Tokyo - June 25th to July 1st
Jeju island - July 1st to 5th
Seoul - July 5th to 9th
Osaka - July 9th to 11th (might stay longer depending on my mood)

[gritty rivet]

im staying 24 hours.

[long veldt]

That's why I recommended not staying around there

Everywhere in central tokyo is pretty easy to get to, within 30-40 minutes at most

[astral arrow]

june 21-july 2 for me

[long veldt]

So its much easier just to find a place that's near a good station and commute to tokyo dome as you need to

Like Ueno station is only a 15-20 minute train ride to Tokyo dome

Hell you could walk from Ueno station to Tokyo dome if you needed to, its only 40 minutes

@honest tapir Did you want me to help you find a hotel?

[gritty rivet]

I walked from Akihabara to Tokyo Dome

Was a beautiful walk along a river, can recommend

[honest tapir]

no im good, i might actually just stay in ueno again

[long veldt]

kk

Most hotels are going to run you like $60-80 USD a night

[honest tapir]

how was the game btw

[gritty rivet]

pretty good

baseball isnt really my sport tho, there were like 4 rounds in a row where no team scored a point lmao

[brisk pagoda]

I'm staying in shibuya

[faint brook]

https://vxtwitter.com/newjiram/status/1787353120042868756?t=abzPOPrd2MnHvG-CGo8Qow&s=19

[honest tapir]

how do they know it's sold out

[halcyon venture]

magic

[brisk pagoda]

@honest tapir did you get your seat number yet after you got charged?

[honest tapir]

no seat num

[brisk pagoda]

Yeah you only got a notification or receipt that you paid for the section and not even row or seat number right?

[honest tapir]

correct

[brisk pagoda]

Funny how they asking for a big price for the premium seats and such when no one knows what they gonna get yet till June 15

[gritty rivet]

@honest tapir yall want the photo set not the mini posters right?

[honest tapir]

yes please. photosets

[gritty rivet]

i'll see what i can get

[honest tapir]

[brisk pagoda]

Mug and glass

[gritty rivet]

hey since you were there too, i was really confused. is there a seperate line for the clothes and merch store or is it basically the same thing?

like, i can go to both stores with my ticket or just one?

it had the same qr code in the floor below for the merch too

like that, with the same QR code. I'll just try asking the people there, last time nobody spoke english tho

I got one for tomorrow, was there on saturday haha

Yees

Yeah its automatically once you entered the raffle. You can check the pins for the result links too tho.

I didnt win a ticket but i can go with someone

@brisk pagoda whats up

Did u also see something about an item limit

Or was that just for clothing

Ah but the merch in the basement wasnt limited??

yeah, i tried to ask but nobody spoke english 😭

felt like an american tourist for a second

Switzerland

Actually, i get around pretty good after a week with my japanese, but im not built for difficult conversations like that LMAO

[gritty rivet]

Its in my blood kira

I feel bad if im just on time

[brisk pagoda]

They even apologize for being too early

Agoda and Trip.com are pretty well known out here

im late

[brisk pagoda]

@honest tapir, I use this https://www.twayair.com/app/main but I don't know if they have direct flight from Ph to JP

[honest tapir]

it's fine now i was able to book my flight directly on the airline website. but good to know these other resources

[brisk pagoda]

this one i use for osaka to jeju direct flight

if I don't want to go to seoul lol

[long veldt]

typically with flights, you want to book directly with the airline

for hotels, booking.com, agoda.com, or the hote's website are your best bet

I prefer booking.com to agoda, but sometimes agoda has a better deal

[edgy ore]

why are flights so suddenly expensive?? ($1,600~ roundtrip LA --> JPN)

i recall seeing them recently for $900-ish

[long veldt]

A lot of people probably booking for summer vacation in the last few week or two

[gritty rivet]

the earlier you book it the cheaper it is for flights

[gritty rivet]

@brisk pagoda im here 1.5 hours early like the good german i am

[brisk pagoda]

[gritty rivet]

[honest tapir]

if there's ever a choice can i get B

yeah imma need them binocs

[long veldt]

Tokyo Dome is a great venue at least

[gritty rivet]

Hey @long veldt , how did you get around in this area? by bus?

theyre like 50 minutes walk apart

also, is that all covered by suica or do i need a ticket?

oh wait theres also an option with the JR Sobu line, that definitely works

[golden sequoia]

riding the train from kamakura to kitakamakura station seems like the fastest option for engaku-ji

and to get to kotoku-in go from kamakura station to hase station ?

we just walked to kotoku-in just to see the surroundings and went down to hase then wdakwjdaldjawldjaw

[gritty rivet]

yeeeah im swiss, my legs are strong enough to just walk

there for the experience yk

but yes the small train stretch in the middle could help a lot

[long veldt]

Train or bus and suica is all you need

[long veldt]

Just a reminder that if you're going, you should be booking stuff now.

[violet solstice]

Do I need to book train from Osaka - Tokyo in advance?

[winter cape]

Whats there to book

I meant like hotels and flights if they haven't already

You don't have to, but there are discounts if you do

You can usually save a few thousand yen if you do it in advance

Wow i just saw mt fuji in the train for the first time

epic

[plush glade]

pics or didnt happen

quickly googles mt fuji from train pic

Am I weird in that I find taking pictures of SUPER popular places pointless when there are higher quality pics of the exact same thing online... lol

I think I'm alone in that considering how many people love taking pics

(also it's nice for memories in photo gallery all sorted by time, so there's that)

I just filmed a Timelapse

🥴

[long veldt]

Its not the same

We take photos so that we can preserve how we saw it

Its like saying

Why go see New Jeans in person if you can just watch them online?

Seeing them online will almost certainly give you a better view than you will have in person unless you somehow get a seat within the first 3 rows

Not quite the same but I already argued against myself it's all good lol

I understand the reasons why I was just being silly

[gritty rivet]

[prisma quarry]

i make them less pointless by being in the picture

[plush glade]

Oh yeah people do that dont they

Good luck finding a pic of me other than the recent passport pics I took

[long veldt]
