Arashi during concerts

[yachiichan.livejournal.com]

Hi

Just a casual question.

During concerts held in Tokyo, i believe all of them would return home right after the concert.Does that mean any other region besides concerts held in Tokyo, they would be living in the hotels of that region?Or is  there any other regions where they would still return to Tokyo right after the concert?Sorry its hard to phrase this question.
I hope me english is readable =.= Thank you!
Btw, does any one know the closest hotels to Osaka dome/ Fukuoka dome/ Nagoya dome?

LOL. After reading all the comments i think its best that i cancel this. 
But still thanks for all the replies.
Btw, firstly i never had ever thought of stalking them. Because i plan to find a hotel near the domes and was just thinking that it would be cool if Arashi actually do stay in hotels that are closest to the domes. ( I know it sounds like a stalker to you. But all fans are stalkers in a way :D )
Thanks a lot for the tips about finding the hotels.

Sorry if this post caused some misunderstandings (=.=)

if they're close to home they go home. but if they're far then they'll stay at hotels in the region.

lol planning to stalk them?

>.

dont you think that it's their privacy? :l

[zelskeet.livejournal.com]

Yeah I agree to the both of you. They are like us also. The only difference is that they're rich and famous :) They need privacy and most of all rest. They're so busy, I can't image how they manage their schedule. I hope they will not forget to take care of their health *worried*

[smilling-kiddo.livejournal.com]

well I just hope that arashians would take care of their manner more than those mindless korean fans who thought that 'OH MY GOSH MY IDOL SAID THAT HE LOVE ALL OF THE FANS WHICH MEAN HE WONT BE ANGRY WHEN I STALK HIM!'
opps :P

[noirecoulisse.livejournal.com]

somehow i got the impression that Japan fans are less stalk-ish and more polite though ^^ .

[noirecoulisse.livejournal.com]

okay, not all, but most?

I would like to think of this as a harmless question, but it would be logical that they stay in a hotel given that they would be performing for 2 days there imho. i think its pretty harsh if they still have to travel great lengths considering how tired they must be from performing.

but other than that, i dont think this kind of question should be asked as this entails knowing something regarding their privacy issues and as tempting as it could be, we should try and steer away from that, shall we? :)

also, with the hotels thing- try searching google. they help out a lot.

haha...
sounds like a stalking question to me...lol

[oresa.livejournal.com]

About where they gonna stay - I'm sure it's a hotel. And I hope no one will know what hotel it is.
About hotels you wonna stay - search in google. I found my through google, when I was in Nagoya this January.

[i-k-a-h.livejournal.com]

I don´t know what you want to ask... I would like to read your entry like a question about looking for a hotel where you can stay.

But I agree with other comments that your question looks like a stalking question... If you want to see who looks the most different in real life, I think you can see some their casual clothes in concert DVD bonuses and that should be enough...

[tinshiee.livejournal.com]

im not in the right place to say this, but yeah, it really is a bit weird asking this kind of question. ^^
i hope you're not offended. i mean in those kind of situation, the only time they can rest is after the concert. especially if there'll be another concert the next day, so i guess its not really good to approach them at that time. :)

about the hotel thingy, you could search that around the net. that might help you, A LOT.

[oviparous.livejournal.com]

They usually only return to Tokyo on the last day of their concerts at Nagoya/Fukuoka/Osaka/Sapporo.

Also, I don't know you but I'd just like to say, there's no rule in this community saying that you can't ask stuff like that. I personally don't think it's 'stalker'-ish to be asking these questions because come on, who doesn't want to be close to the boys? There are going to be other guests in the hotel as well because J-Storm can't book the entire building, and if you're a stalker then so are they because (insert horrified gasp) they're living in the same hotel.

It's not like you're going to hide outside their door in ambush, if you ever end up in the same hotel as them. (At least, I hope you aren't.) Information like what their hotels are aren't as private as many of us think, and I don't consider it stalking if you just want to stay in the same space as them or walk the same floor as they do. In any case, the boys understand what it means by giving space, and a person booking a room in the same hotel isn't an example of not giving space. Don't let what other people say get to you. And I think your English is readable, don't worry.

[fatimaa-xo.livejournal.com]

yeah i agree!
:)
i mean, wouldnt you guys want to be able to say 'omg, im in the same building as them' kinda thing :D
considering that you dont push your limits and ambush their doors, if that's the case then that's a completely different story!

XD

[imthelonely-one.livejournal.com]

i agree, who the fuck cares. it's just like wanting to know what train line they take or something. even if you know, the chances of actually seeing them are like 1 in 10000. my favourite western band is interpol, and i got to meet the lead singer and guitarist because i ended up staying at the same hotel as them. it's an awesome opportunity.

[zelskeet.livejournal.com]

I get you point. It's not 'stalker'-ish if you ask these question and don't intend to stay in the same hotel (if you have many options) or if accidentally you booked into the same hotel. But it's different if you use the information you got purposely to stay in the same hotel with them. That's stalking.

If your a fan and you happen to be in the same hotel with them, you really can't avoid stalking them either you just want an autograph or you want to give them a letter. You should grab that chance because it may never happen again! Of course the boys would want to accommodate the fans but the timing is not good, you may end up rejected. You may end up hurt. Imagine if you're tired and wants to go to bed right away then someone approaches you or block you or whatever that person wants from you preventing you to get some rest right away, of course you'll be irritated by that person. I'm not saying that yachiichan is like that but we will never know what our actions will be if we see our idols. We may do things we never did before! So in order to prevent the things we might do to them if we see them at close range especially after a concert, it's better not to be in the same hotel with them. Besides, I'm sure they will be staying in a first class hotel. Unless yachiichan usually stay in those kinds of hotels, she's definitely stalking them. :)

Peace. I'm not saying that yachiichan is a stalker since she did not do anything yet she's only asking. I just want to point out that they need some rest :( I'm really worried of their health. Concert preparations are exhausting and they have many shows and drama also and a movie for Sho which starts filming this September. They have interviews/guesting, recordings, CMs, etc etc.

in reference to the boys staying in a hotel, i'm kinda in doubt whether they do stay in such places, i mean i know the concerts are in different places and kinda far, i guess, but do take note that they have weekly shoot for 3 TV shows (maybe they're stocking up episodes right now) + news zero + TSD + radio programs + movies + drama serials + guestings (tv and magz) + CMs (and the list goes on...) which would therefore require them to be always on the move thus my doubt of them of really staying put in a hotel, imho.

*sigh* poor boys, i just really hope that they're really taking care of themselves

[aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com]

I am pretty sure they stay in hotels everywhere but Tokyo.

If you watched the DVD, and the latest Music Station, you know that in the last tour, Aiba slept outside in the hall of their hotel in Nagoya.

I dont think it would be wise to "just so happen to be at their hotel."

Stalking (even if you dont mean any harm) is not cool. A lot of the younger members (Hey!Say!JUMP) have been having stalker issues lately, and JE has released things warning fans.

I think we should all respect them and their personal time and space.

They give a lot to make us happy as it is.

[imthelonely-one.livejournal.com]

oh god, give me a break. staying at the same hotel as them hoping you might bump into them is harmless. if you think that's stalking, obviously you've never been a victim of it. stalking means repeatedly harassing and following the target. trying to find out what hotel they might stay in does NOT fall under that definition.

i think stalking is awful. the fans who wait outside johnny's schools everyday? horrible. the girls who set up cameras outside their idols house? disgusting. but this is isn't an example of that sort of behaviour, sorry.

taking the same train line as them, or trying to stay in the same hotel as them so that maybe you can see them from afar is NOT stalking. it's wishful thinking, and quite frankly, harmless. so long as she doesn't make a habit out of it.

[aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com]

first of all, there is no information given out about what hotels the guys stay at, for obvious reasons, so the chances of being able to stay in the same hotel as them are VERY slim.

One dictionary definition of the verb is "to pursue or approach prey, quarry, etc., stealthily." pretty much falls into the category that I am referring to. It's not ALWAYS a negative thing, but the social definition gives it a negative connotation.

A lot of girls line up and wait quietly and patiently at the car entrance/exits of the venues to wave goodbye to the guys... sometimes the guys wave through the window, sometimes they open the door, but most of the time, the vans pass by and no one knows if any of them were in them. This also happens at the Shinkansen stations where girls wait till the last train in hopes of seeing them. There are unspoken rules in the fandom about how to act in these situations, and I am pretty sure there are JE guidelines about behavior around their talent.

I am sure this thread wasn't meant to harm/stalk the guys, but I think we need to respect their private time.

[yachiichan.livejournal.com]

Please do not bicker over this i was just asking a casual question.
I understand that stalking is really bad but from the point i pressed 'post' to this community it was just a really casual question, just if some people might have gone through the experience and i would like to hear from them.

[aishitsuzukeru.livejournal.com]

i went to kokuritsu and nagoya last year. if you are wanting to stay at a hotel near the venue, i would suggest you make your reservations NOW. Beause most Japanese fans are already making their arrangements.

[nxm9473.livejournal.com]

some of these comments tickle me. doesn't hurt to be more positive, i guess. whatever. yachiichan, be good ;) and have fun in Japan. say hi to them on behalf of me if you happen to bump into them. XD

[yea-arashi.livejournal.com]

Yep, I agree with you nxm9473.

Yachiichan, if you get the tickets, have fun in the concert.

If you happen to stay at the same hotel as the boys and bump into them, I'm sure you'd know what's the right thing to do at that time.

Don't worry. And enjoy your stay in Japan :-) (if you do have plan to come to Japan, of course)

[zelskeet.livejournal.com]

Good luck on your hotel hunting and most of all have fun. Enjoy! If ever you'll bump with the boys, don't collapse in front of them *joke* eheheh

[molskee.livejournal.com]

You know, if i were you and be able to go to their concert (you're so lucky), i'd be WISHING that i am staying at the same hotel as them. I agree with @imthelonely_one that this is wishful thinking, tho it is true that the chances are slim, but hey, fans are there because Johnny's selling dreams.
and of course, stalking is not cool, but trying to make the chances slimmer to stay at the same hotel is IMHO couldn't possibly be categorize as stalking.
Please blow some kisses to Matsujun for me if you ever see him, even from afar

[noirecoulisse.livejournal.com]

I'd say thanks for this question. Before i have no idea that the boys still go back to their own house after shooting/filming/work/concerts etc. I thought they would be like Korean bands (a.k.a living in a dorm together) ^^.

Enjoy your time in Japan, I went there last year, and it was fun (though I did not get my hands on any Arashi stuffs... probably i wasn't looking hard enough ><) .
