How to be in Tokyo and hear ARASHI live without actually being in the concert!

[nanastorm.livejournal.com]

Well, its my recent and personal experience of hearing ARASHI live.

This particular experience is definitely memorable and worth sharing (i hope). its really like no other. do read to just have a little taste of to what extend foreign fangirls would do to just hear them live. click the link to read it at my lj.:)


ARASHI.metal doors.and a whole lot of flailing.

Arashi Ticket - GET!

[kerrol.livejournal.com]

After going through a huge learning process, buying tickets online to see Arashi at Tokyo Dome, I thought I'd write a post about what we went through. Hopefully this will help other Arashi fans who live overseas and want to get tickets in future. I know there are few guides around but I couldn't find much information about using deputy bidding services. Also, when you are handing over a heap of cash (not to mention your hopes and dreams) to strangers on the internet, the more information you have, the better, right.

Belated con report Tokyo Dome 4/12 and 6/12

[ant-power.livejournal.com]

So, I finally got around to writing my concert reports for the Tokyo Dome shows. It is a report in three parts!

Part one: pre-show report - this is mostly me freaking out that something would go wrong, but there's other stuff too.

Part two: actual concert report 4/12 - this is a comprehensive (if at times over-emotional and hysterical) song-by-song breakdown of the concert, as best I can remember it.

Part three: actual concert report 6/12 - this is a less comprehensive report on what I can remember of the Sunday show, as most of it is covered in the comprehensive Friday report.

Probably everyone is sick of reading con reports by now, but I figure it's good to have different perspectives on things, right?!
