VSA Park Odaiba

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

Hey :)
This weekend I'll go to japan with 2 friends, and we (or more like ME xD) want to visit the VSA Arashi Park <3
So I still have some questions here :)

My coolnat466 already gave me a brief summary of this page : http://www.fujitv.co.jp/uso2010/pop_arashi.html <3

So I basiclly know that I can't take photos, that I have to get the tickets at 9am / 8am at FUJI TV ~

And so on ~

But there are still a few questions :D
I hope someone can give me more details like:

~ I can get into the Park without a ticket? That means I can see everything, just can't play Rolling Coin Tower right, then I don't need to get up early to get a ticket there?
~ When they say 8am, I HAVE TO arrive there by that time to buy a ticket?
~ Is the ticket number per day limited ?
~ Rolling Coin Tower is a game for 4 >o< So what if we are only 3 D: Can't we play then, or do they add someone randomly?
~ The place where they show goodies and photos, are they directly together with the park, or somewhere else (like at fuji TV station?)

Well these are the question I can think of :)
I'll be grateful for any other informations *O*

1.) Yes, you can get into the park without a ticket. You're free to walk around, look at the booths, and buy stuff to eat :)
2.) No, you don't. I went around noon and I got a ticket for a slot at 3:15.
3.) I don't think so. They have special time slots and when it's your time, you line up according to the number printed on your ticket and wait for your turn. :) For example: if you get the first ticket in the 3:15 time slot, you'll be first to play in that group. If you're 100, then you'll wait behind numbers 1~99 XD There were people in my group who had numbers way past 100.
4.) They'll find someone who's alone to add to your group.
5.) There's a white tent that says VSA and a TV that's playing a video of Arashi explaining the rules. The props are in the tent and you also play in there and line up outside :)

Have fun! It's hot and crowded most of the time so be careful :D

waaah thx for your infos that helped a lot xD at least i dont need to rush out my friends at 6am or somethingnxD

hai i just checked the weather and somehow no cloud for a whole week and everything around 36C u,u

is it difficult to find the place where they distribute the ticket?
like in fuji tv?

[yabaix.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help :) Hahaha yeah XD And it takes about an hour to get there from Shinjuku :'D

Agh yeah. It was terribly hot every single day when I was there :/

Not really! My friend and I had trouble finding the actual Odaiba park itself so we followed some people and they brought us right to the place XD Once you get to the park, you'll see the tent. There should be a staff member with a handful of tickets standing in front of it so if you go up to him/her, he'll/she'll probably hand you one :)

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

thaanks XD we will travel from ikebukuro XD according to my iphone app it takes 45mins or somethign XD well whatever XD

But since we're the first time in japan, i assume we need at least like the double of time to get it right or something xD

eh so for the rolling coin tower i dont need to go to FUJI TV ? I thought they hand the tickets at Fuji TV °o°

[yabaix.livejournal.com]

Ohh I see! :)

I hope you have tons of fun on your first trip! When you take the Yurikamome, if you see a lot of kids, then you're on the right track XD And the sights you see on the way are really nice too!

The booths are outside of the Fuji TV building.

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

thaaanks <3
I will i already can't wait *O* ah in 9hours I'll be on my way to airport xD
(I guess this post was kidn of late <33 but thx for helping me so fast *O*)

Okay I think it will somehow work out with your infos *OOOO*

I hope i won't fail at rolling coin towr xD (I'm sure I'm super bad at games like this XD)

[yabaix.livejournal.com]

♥ No problem :D

Good luck! It shouldn't be too hard. If you make it to Daiba station/Odaiba Kaihinkouen and don't know where to go from there, just ask someone. They'll most likely know and will help you out.

Hahaha I was sooo nervous when I played. My hands were shaking x___x Even if you don't win, you still get a VSA sticker teehee.

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

hai <3
well nobody of us really speaks japanese XD so we have to relay on english and our hands and feet xD but somehow it will work out °o°

even if i fail i still get the sticker *o* and i still feel arashifail xD or like how nino nino resigned OoO
but nino nino can play again since this seasons vsa park is opened again XD

[kawaii-solemia.livejournal.com]

Hi dear!!! <33

I'm not of very much help, since someone else already answered your questions thoroughly :)
But just for you to see: http://maps.google.es/maps?q=odaiba&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:es-ES:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=es&tab=wl

You can see perfectly well the different stations from which arrive to Odaiba, and if you can spot Fuji TV on the map, VS Arashi tent is just in front of it! (between Fuji TV building and Aqua City building ^^).

Hope you have fun there! Take pictures and tweet them for me to see! ^0^ Also, take care, and drink water! It'll be very, very ,VERY hot there!
Since is August (holidays period in Japan), and on weekend, it'll be EXTREMELY crowded! I went there on the last holidays weekend of August, previous year, and streets were all jam packed. So much, it took ages for me and my friends to move around. But even so, the day was quite entertaining (and we could see the giagantic Gundam, which was pertty amazing *_*).

Enjoy this weekend, bb!!! I'll wait for your news about it! :3

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

kawaiisooo *O*

aaah thx for your googlemaps +O* i think it helps a lot too *OOO*

oh hai hai odaiba is confusing me, which station should i arrive ;O;?!

but i hope we wont get lost there *O* i just really want to play there *O* or at least visit it ;O;
as for photos ;O; they said its not allowed ;O; i think i'm maybe too afraid to try to take snapshots wiht a phone while pretending to phone or something ;O;

*__* haihai I'll try to twitter as often as possible XD

[kawaii-solemia.livejournal.com]

Hehe, don't mind then for the pics. I don't want you to be scolded for me :)
Glad you find the map useful! *ureshii* Uhm, if you're not sure about which train to take etc, I think this wwebs shoudl be useful as well.

http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3008.html <- Just go to the "How to get there" section (If you hv time, just take the Yurikamome, since it has beautiful sights from the train ^^)

http://www.hyperdia.com/cgi/en/search.html?dep_node=SHINJUKU&arv_node=DAIBA%28TOKYO%29&via_node01=&via_node02=&via_node03=&year=2010&month=08&day=07&hour=20&minute=18&search_type=0&search_way=&transtime=undefined&sort=0&max_route=5&ship=off&lmlimit=null&search_target=route&facility=reserved&sum_target=7 <- I chose the "Shinjuku" and "Daiba" options to see the available routes for tomorrow (since it's saturday, and you can get an approximated idea of the train timetables). The web is pretty good and accurate. I used it to travel around Japan last summer ;)

And, maybe you didn't guessed it, since it seems I hv so much free time, but... I'm at work, yes! :D:D:D (god, I'm such a lazy ass... XDD)

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

woah youre links are sooo use ful *___* i love the hyperdia one xD i only have another train finder but its weird sometimes xD soo thaaaanks *_____*

now i really have to get to vsa park somehow xD #savemyfriends xD

wah work means making money xD i cleaned up all my saved money of the past 10 years u.u
but well xD i dont really regret since its japan *______*

ah i will fly tomorrow morning xD well not .. the flight is for 2pm but i need to leave house at 8am u.u

[kawaii-solemia.livejournal.com]

Yay,, I feel so happy being useful for a friend! *O*
I LOVE Hyperdia! So damn good! I used it also to go to Chiba. Are you plannign to go there, too? ;) I would.

Uhm, you're quite right, kyokyo! Work means money. And that's how I'm getting my iPhone (OMG! *_*) and the trip to Tokyo next November. Sad you decided to go now to Japan... If you'd go later on we could hv met up there T_T
But we will anytime, anywhere, ne? ^-^

Ooooooh, if you hv to leave your home that early, you should take a rest! How many hours takes the airplane to get to Japan? (you can sleep during the flight, I did XDD)

Hv lots of fun dear!! I can't wait to hear from your adventures there! <33

Oh, may I ask you a favor, if you can? *puppy eyes* could you please pick me paparazzi pictures from the Kokuritsu concert on August 30th (I mean the one from previous year, under THAT rain), if you see them? I wanted to take them, but I couldn't since I was leaving to Spain the very next morning T_T
Oh, god, I'm a selfish person! Don't mind it, ne? I'll try and find them this November, after all I'm definately going ^^ #savemykyokyo

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

*OOOOOO*

ah right you're getting an iphoen ;O; you lucky girl xD but im still happy with aibaado *O* im screening the whole googlemaps already into it XD #saveaibaado XD

*O* i try to find that paparazzi photo for you ;O;
but i dont know if its still findable xD

but you know O_O i have a whole paparazzi photobook of that day O_o its in the minimum series for ARASHI at whole o_O and its only with the rainy day con *O*

[kawaii-solemia.livejournal.com]

Yep, my iPhone!!! *OOOOOO* I'm getting it tmr from the phone shop! I'll take pics of it, and Tweet them (if I discover how to upload them there Lol!)

I'll try and go to both Sapporo concerts with a friend of Bu and me :) And if I find cheap tix (impossible task) also to any of the Tokyo ones ^_^

Yeah, stalk it dear!! And also, if you hv internet connection stalk je_sales. I saw tix for last year Koku at 10000 yen there! (though I was too slow, and miss them XDD Thank god bunny found someone with an extra ticket, gotta love her so much! <3) And also the stadium. If you're lucky maybe you get to see them.
It would be like me: see the concert, the very next day, back to reality and out of Japan! xD

Reeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!?!?!? OMG, thank you!!! I thought maybe they could be found at Takeshita ido shops in Harajuku, since I saw there pics from Dream-A-Live, and Time tour o.O
But anyways, thanks for trying, my dear!!! #hugkyo

What... W-what photobook are you talking about, bb!?!?!?!?!? Me waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaants!!!!!!! +w+

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

eeeh tomorrow already *OOOOOO*

O__O wha youre going to their con ;O; i want tooo ;OOO; But i didnt find any effortable tickets ;O;
i mean i cant effort more then 10.000 yen ;O; or 11000yen or something like that ;O; like 20.000 is already impossible for me u.u

I waaaaaaaaaaant to get tix too ToT But is it too late already ;O; anyway until now i didnt see any tickets for under 60.000yen u.u

[kawaii-solemia.livejournal.com]

OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!! I'll buy that photobook for sure!!!!! *runs to CD Japan* Thanks for the pic! ^^

Don't lose faith, girl, you may find affordable tix. As much as I'm concerned, if I see anything, I'll give you notice ;)
(did you take with you your cell-phone? If so, you can give it to me through MP (here or through Twitter, and I can text you from mine, if I see anything. That way you'll know asap ^^)

I'll go with another friend if we find tix. We're aiming for both Sapporo dates. But if we find for the Tokyo Dome, we'll also wanna go (obviously, ne? XD)

Thank you very much for looking for these pics. I really hope you get to go to the con (or at least to have fun waiting to by the goods... I waited last year for 6 hours!!! xO)

Have looooooooooooooooooooooads, of fun, really! I know you already know how Japan is, but since it's the first time you go, I guarantee you, you're gonna love iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!! ^0^

*loads of biiiiiig and arashiiiiiiiiic hugs on my behalf*

[5peedy28.livejournal.com]

since ur questions r pretty much answered..i'll just give u more details on it to maybe make ur life a bit easier..tickets r limited in a day..as for the opening weekend..i got there at 9 for both days..waited 2 hrs in line to find out tickets r all gone..so in the end i waznt able to play it booo...but best of luck..it should be fine now that itz weeks in n not the first 3 days

in order to get there..the fastest way would be to take the yurikamome monorail to odaiba..the price from shinbashi (which is where i transferred at) is 310yen i believe..n the view is quite nice on a clear day also..u get to go over rainbow bridge n get a good panoramic view of tokyo

theres also the 5th floor of fujitv where they show pics n stuff from certain tv shows thats kinda like a mini museum n u can walk around n take pics there..there r also windows where u can look down into a studio..but u cant record of take pictures of that..but u need to go up those long fujitv esclators to get there..the confusing this is..the escalator takes u all the way to the 7th floor where there r additional elevators to take u up that giant ball observatory thing n the gift shop for fuji is also there..but to get to the 5th floor..u need to go down the escalators after getting to the 7th floor

like others said..itz verrrry hot n crowded..but other than that..have fun...let me kno if u need more info or ur unclear about n e thing

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

waaaaah thanks for all the details *O*

so the tickets are limited ;O; okay I try to get there as early as possible xD I really want to play *o*

hai i just checked the train thing posted by kawaiisoo *o* and i think I'll take the JR yamanote to shinbaishi and then the yurikamome line :D
310 yen should be fine, so i get out at Daiba station?

ah so thanks for the information about the FUJI station <3
Now i want to see the set at least too *o*

Just where exactly do i get the rolling coin tower tickets? At FUJI TV or where the tent/park is?

[5peedy28.livejournal.com]

np!..yea the tickets r limited but itz still better to go fairly early so u actually get a ticket for a decent time instead of one rly late in the afternoon..on my last day there b4 i flight..i got there at 830am after waiting 3 hrs..i could only get a ticket earliest at 5:20pm..my flight waz at 6..so there waz no way i could play

which stn r u starting from..just final the simplest way to get there n it should be ok..i came frm asakusa stn so i just took the ginza line to shinbashi then got out to take the yurikamome..yes..get off at daiba stn then walk down the stairs n once u exit the gates..make a right..walk down a flight of stairs..n make a left..then walk straight..fuji tv is right infront of u..

for the rollling coin tower tickets..u just need to head towards the vsa tent n around the area there should be staff holding up a sign that says vs arashi on it just go up to them..ask for a ticket n it should be a breeze from there..if u cant find the person with the sign..just ask n e staff "vs arashi chiketo wa doko desu ka?" n they'll tell u where it is..all the staff r wearing the united states of odaiba shirts or sumthing..u can easily tell

oh n wen u take the monorail..stand on the left side so u can get a good view of the outside.just b4 u get to daiba stn..u'll pass fuji land..n below on the vsa tent..on top on the tent u can see the big vsa poster with arashi on it..n thats alwayz a cool pic of have

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

we have a hotel in ikebukuro :)

ah okay that was impossible to play then D: especially since it take quiete long from tokyo to narita u.u

I think I will go there somewhen around after the weekend next week, cause we'll arrive on sunday afternoon and one week later we will head to kyoto xD so in this week i have to make sure to go there <3

ah okay *O* that helped a lot *O* the more i read the more i want to play rolling coin towr now *o* I think I'll find it somehow xD
your description is great *_______*~
I need to take notes of all of this *O*O THANKS *O*

wah it's a pity you can't take photos around there ;O; I'm sure I'll be fangirling to death XD

[5peedy28.livejournal.com]

from ikebukuro..jr yamanote to shinbashi then yurikamome would be the best way..\

if u can try to go on a weekday rather than a weekend..cuz that way..students r occupied with skool n adults have work..so it'll be less crowded..n if u have time..do rolling coin tower early..then u can take the monorail back..except get off at shiodome n visit ntv..they have the ntv expo going on right now that has the arashi ni shiyagare display..n if ur still up for fandom..head to akasaka n go to tbs where the mannequin 5 display is still there..voting is over but atleast u can play games from other shows there n see stuff

itz very straightforward so i dont think u'll have trouble finding it..generally u can take pics outside..but wen ur inside..u cant take pics..most places around the park will let u take pics unless u see a no photography sign..or if theyre doing a show on the stage..then there'll be staff holding up signs that says no photography..u can try to act foreign n try to take pics of certain things..n the most they'll do is just tell u to stop

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

hai i thought of yamanote cause esp. since we have a railpass <3

well but since its august, i guess all students have holidays right now D:? well it can't be helped XD

hai we .. i mean ME .. also want to visit shiodome with shiyagare .D i think google maps told me to get out of shibaishi too?

really mannequin 5 is still displaying <3 ok i think we will go to akasaka anyway xD I'm not sure <333 but thx for the infos +o* i thought its over once the voting is over xD

wah thx for all the infos *O* i guess you already stalked arashi completly around recently in tokyo? XD?

[5peedy28.livejournal.com]

nice..i just took whichever line waz convenient for me since i didnt buy a rail pass..night buses around cities worked out better for me

yea..i guess thats true..but considering adults have work..thats a chunk of the population that wont be there haah

shiodome n shinabashi stn on the yurikamome is like a block away..i like getting off at shiodome cuz then u just get out n walk across this little skywalk bridge thingy..n ntv is to ur left..u can see the miyazaki hayao clock..n sumtimes they film tv shows there also..then u go down sum escalators n thats where lots of things r..either way it works

mannequin 5 is displayed until the 12th i believe so u can still see the displays but atleast u wont have to wait 2 hrs in line to vote

np! haha more like i completely stalked je in general all around japan haha..i waz just there about 2 weeks ago n waz there for 5 weeks..so everything is stilll very fresh..but yes..my last few days were completely dedicated to fandom stalking ahah

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

I didnt even know that there is a shiodome station *O*
so thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks *O*

ah i think if we have time I'll go there to mannequin five too xD actually i have no idea where all i want to go XoX
since we only have one week in tokyo xD the second week we will spend in kyoto and osaka xD

just the day before our flight back we will be back at tokyo xD and thats the first kokuritsuday xD I'm sure i'll stalk there outside u.u
no way i can effort a ticket unless I'm really really really really lucky ;O;

[5peedy28.livejournal.com]

ahah yea there is a shiodome stn..the yurikamome n the oedo line both have a shiodome haah

it'd be better if u have a general idea of where u want to go to in those cities..then u can just find ur way around rather than wandering aimlessly..since u dont have that much time..i think u'd wanna do as much as u can in those two weeks

theres lots to see in kyoto n all the sites r pretty far apart also..get a bus pass if u can..500yen for unlim bus rides for the entire day...awesome deal..wen ur in osaka..if u want awesome cheap food..go to hankyu sanbangai..itz below the hankyu subway stn just north east of osaka stn..itz like a maze of food stalls n small restaurants..just dont get lost!

yess..too bad u cant see a con..but arashi kokuritsu wouldve prob costed u arm just to see them live..i paid lots for my tegomasu ticket but not enough to have my starving for the rest of my trip

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

wah *O*

and more informations for kyoto and osaka thanks *O*
well basiclly its a bit difficult, cause we're more or less from 3 fandoms xD one is kat-tun fan (well johnny and idol shop goes the same for us then *O*) and one is more animanga xD
but basiclly i also like animanga so its fine xD

just things like vsa, shiyagare and so are super arashi specific xD

but im sure it will work out *O*

kokuritsu first day ticket is insane o_O seriously INSANE ... like starting from 60.000yen or 70.000 yen XD
I dont have that money ;OOO;
But at least i can hear from kokuritsu outside xD and I'll be frustrated enough to buy all the concert goods then XD

I'm off to bed now <3 have to get up in 5hours and then get to the airport XoX

[5peedy28.livejournal.com]

ahah thats ok..i waz with a friend who waz a guy n totally oblivious to japanese male idols..for a week n half..n i just dragged him everywhere

but rly..wen in doubt..just wander alone..since i waz there pretty much by myself..just split for a day trip to do ur own thing if it doesnt all work out

i kno itz ridiculous how much fans r reselling their tickets..but yea since kokuritsu is an open stadium u can hear from outside..n if the boys r flying..u may get to see them from outside also!.. since itz ur last day there..if u have money left..y not splurge it on con goods..it'll be worth it

good luck n dont get jetlagged! u can pm me if ur ever there n have fandom related questions to ask ahah..have an awesome trip

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

thhhx <3 you were super helpful <3 if there still is anything i will pm you *_*

ah i dont know about splitting xD im kind of afraid then xD well we'll see then in japan xD im super excited <3

[arashitengoku.livejournal.com]

Hi, most of your questions are answered but I just wanted to address no. 2/3 and no. 5.

2) According to the staff I spoke to there, you should try to reach around 8am, especially in August, because most of the tickets are distributed out by 9am since August is when most schools have their break.Although, in July, when I went around noon, they still had tickets for 3pm, but I'm sure it's better to play on the safe side. ^_^
3) Yes, the tickets are limited per day.
5) There is actually more than one place where you can see stuff related to vs Arashi. One is obviously the tent, the other, you need to take the escalator behind the tent all the way up, you will pass an entrance to a exhibit, take the escalator back down to access the exhibit. Photos and information about vs Arashi can be found as you walk down this exhibit. I think they had a small wall on it...obviously not as grand as the tent though. At the end of the walk, you can get a MatsuJun free paper, if they still have it...

Hope this helps!!

[kyoticle.livejournal.com]

thanks <3 okay seems the week im there it will be at 8 am u.u i really need to drag my ppl out of bed xD im myself super bad with getting up early but i'll do anything for arashi xD

ah there is another exhibit just behind the tent <3 speedy just told me about the fifth floor in fipuji tv <3

[sakuratikah.livejournal.com]

Kyokyo!!
I cant answer any questions #sakufail but I hope you enjoy yourself there! <3
