a question.....really sorry to bother regarding Lovediary tour

[iemkhaye.livejournal.com]

i am REALLY sorry...i know this had been asked a tons of times already, and i've read a couple answers before...but my head is so whacked up (probably because of reviewing too much for the past 6 months)...anyways, since my torturous exam is gonna end by the end of june (preparing to jump for joy and come back to the world of fandom)... 

the lovediary tour have been posted in some sites now (thanks so much for those who uploaded), I am wondering how to get tickets for it (even just for two)...in any of the locations will be good...I know it was explained before about the fanclub thing and all...so since the tour will last till december i am HIGHLY hoping to at least get two tickets and get around the idea of fanclubbing in order to watch them...

any information will help..

basic fact about me: I live outside japan so i kinda wonder how to join fanclubs in japan if that's like one of the MUST do in order to get tickets...


please?? thanks so much minna!

if some of you got tickets while living outside japan, please share your stories here, i want to read them..thanks thanks thanks!!!

**UWA! Thanks minna for telling me it's probably just a rumor...i got myself too excited, but anyways...thanks for the replies!! I learned a lot....***

I think ticket is sold to the members of fanclub only? Living outside Japan make it harder to join the fanclub but I think if you go to Japan and buy ticket there you can get one.

Sorry, I can't give more details T_T

Strange...I'm in the fan club and I haven't got any information about a tour yet...They're usually pretty quick to tell us too.

To join the fanclub you must have a Japanese address and phone number, end of story. As for tickets, whether you auction online or you come to Japan and buy direct from scalpers, be prepared to pay a lot of money.

PS. After googling "Arashi" and "Love Diary" in both English and Japanese I've found that only international fan sites (including English, Chinese and others) are talking about it. It must be a rumor. Where did the original information come from, does anyone know?

Those dates were from 2ch.. Fans posted them around thinking that they were real dates, and did not state their sources. lol So that's why some fans are unfortunately mislead.
Those dates are unofficial.

I thought as much. Thank you.

What if I only live in Japan for a year?
I'll live in a Waseda dorm from September until July, and I don't have my address yet, but once I have it, could I use it although I'm not yet in Japan?

i dont think the love diary tour is confirmed. it has been reported before but no confirmation wastsoever from the boys. they havent mentioned this tour yet.

though joining fanclubs are a must and balloting is a must do to obtain concert tickets.. i heard some buy their tickets thru ebay. but thats a risky move.

[mycutykoala.livejournal.com]

I'm sensing that maybe some people didn't make it clear enough.. but those dates are actually unofficial dates, so they are not real... yet (if they actually are.)

To join the FC you have to have a Japanese address. What you can do, since you're international, is find a friend who lives in Japan and see if they can get you into the FC themselves. It costs around USD$50 to get in. That is what I did.

If there happened to be cons in Dec. and you were aiming for then, then I would suggest you try to find a Japanese resident to help you join the FC NOW, since it takes around 1-3 months to actually get into it after signing up.. and you also have to consider that balloting for concerts goes on at least a month or two in advance.

Again though.. official concert dates have not yet been announced.. but it's good for you to get prepared for it now so you won't miss your chance at being able to ballot for tickets.

Another option is buying tickets off of auctions... but those are really pricey~~ a ticket could cost up to 800 bucks, if not more~

I would say a pair for $800 would be pretty cheap for Arashi; I've seen auctions for go for $1000+.

No tour has been officially announced yet. But as already said, joining the FC now/ASAP would be a good idea since the jimusho is probably backed up with fan applications for Arashi (since they've gotten mega popular) and it'll take 6-8 weeks to get your FC card.

Oh, the tour's called love diary? D: I must be missing out on a lot :|

[x-vickiiiie.livejournal.com]

I'll tap that.
I had no idea of this whatsoever.

And Love Diary sounds like a weird name in general.
Doesn't fit Arashi, IMO.

I think it can't be said enough...

The concert tour dates are just rumours as of now. I'm in the fan club as well and no information has been sent out. If there really is a tour, we should have received information, balloting slips and whatnot.

Also, I find it strange that the supposed tour includes arena venues. Of course, I'lll be happy if Arashi are doing arena venues again, but they haven't really done arena for a while...and judging by their current popularity...I'm thinking dome (at least).

Plus, I think it's unlikely that they would go on tour with Nino being in a butai until mid-August.

Don't worry too much! Any official information will be posted as quickly as it is received. I'm sure of it. ^_^

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

I have to double agree with this.

Fukuoka Marine Messe vs Fukuoka Dome? I mean even if they weren't doing a Dome tour, I can't picture Arashi in the Messe.

Sorry, I sort of just meant to agree with you - the venues sound fishy as do the dates. I mean according to the tour "schedule" Sho may be absent from ZERO for a while. I can't see it.

I'm actually really annoyed - I wanna whack the person who began this rumor!

The Love Diary con. is a Big Fake and the title tour is pathetic

Well, same here i hate the person that do those shitty concert plan of Arashi's 10th anniv. tour..blah rumor...but he/she can't fool me coz after the rumor concert I researched the venue and WTH!!!..are they serious of having 10,000+ people only to fit the con for Arashi's special day, Sept. 15 Yah! the venues are dissapointing,..it's so small for Arashi's popularity. Whoever did this rumor...Gosh! he/she just fooled sooo many Arashi fans,..Most Arashi fans are alraedy excited about this yet it's been a month already but Johnny never confirmed this means It's just a Big fuss,...well. cant blame them bec. maybe they're already tired of waiting for Arashi's big suprise for their 10th. I really hope this days they've already announce the tour,..I wish for an album.

[iemkhaye.livejournal.com]

hmm same here...whoever started it fooled me...T^T....but really big thank you for wanting to whack that person up.....

[iemkhaye.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! ^_^ (big hugz!) wow, i envy you for being in a fan club, i really wish to join but geographically wise, it's impossible...T^T.....

yupyup, it kinda striked me as well that it was really odd that the schedules a little bit whacked up....thank you for clearing things up,...and THANK YOU for any official information that you'll post, i'll be waiting for them...(^_^)

Go through Arashi_on's previous posts. There was a post regaring the con dates, but they did state that the dates are unconfirmed, so don't take them too seriously. (:

if those have read the latest Wink-Up issue ( nino on cover) , the Hey say jump Boy who likes Ohno did ask him when is Arashi concert...and Ohno replied ...he also dunno ...i guess they havent confirmed the concert venue and dates.
