Arashi fans in NYC?

[cool1412.livejournal.com]

Hi,
I might be going to NYC for the Feb. 21-23 weekend, and I know there are a lot of Arashi fans in NYC, so I was wondering if:

1. Anyone knows of any Arashi-type things that are interesting (not just "he stood there" or something ambiguous, but like when they had their photo taken in that restaurant when all but Nino went that first time--something more obvious)
2. If anyone wanted to eat lunch/dinner/karaoke or anything?
3. I guess general NYC recommendations?

Thanks!

5x10 Concert Tickets

Hi everyone, I am planning to attend Arashi's 5x15 concert, but since I'm not a fanclub member I need to depend on scalpers.

I am planning to allocate about $1000 just to be sure I get a good seat, but the thing is I'm wondering since it is the 15th anniversary would the ticket even be higher than the usual price? Any experiences and advice on this during the 10th anniversary?

Also, since this is the first time I will be buying ticket, is it still safe to wait for the announcement of seats before buying? I want to know the seat first so I can choose but I'm afraid scalped tickets would be sold out by then. Should I just gamble to buy one and pray that I would get a good sit?
