Hm, Zepp Sendai, eh? If I'm still here, and have the cash, I might check that out.

Maybe I can make the 6/11 if I have any vacation time. But Summer in Japan is too wet.

Yeah, June is Japan's wettest month. Summer here is so hot and humid.

how would one go about getting tickets to these concerts? and anyone planning on the yokohama one?

Thanks,

I'd like to know too. Curious about prices too.

If anyone from this forum goes to a concert...

...Please be sneaky and record at least one song on your cellphone. >.>
That's all I ask.

My phone is sooooo crappy, the cam is like 1 mpix, and audio, well lets just say it might pick up all the noise around it and none of the music But hell i'd still do itssssssssss

and since I'm not in jp, most likely i would need to use service like http://www.fdjp.com/ right..... just couldn't find the "official" selling site to get the "normal" tickets, but i suppose using the service might be more convenient (just more expensive).

I can only speak for the Hiroshima show, but the tickets cost 6300 yen.

I'm closest to Sendai. Seems all the tickets are 6300 yen. I'm still curious as to how you can purchase them.

Anyone else in the Sendai area?

6300 for a Do As Infinity concert? That's relatively cheap. I figured they'd be closer to 10000. If I were in Japan, I would definitely pay that price in a heartbeat. I think the highest I would go for a DAI concert would be 15000 but that would be incredibly desperate.

I don't mind spending ~6300 yen for a DAI concert...I think my limit will be around 10k yen too if it's my fav band. Of course, I'll need to consider my expenses in Japan alone too but I just hope in 3 years time they'll still be singing and holding concerts. ^___^

Just got an announcement on mailmag. If I'm translating right, DoAs will have additional date for Live Tour 2011 ~EIGHT~ at BLITZ Tokyo, June 4

any North American tours in the future??

I doubt there will be any NA tours anymore. That whole fiasco last time about them running into "passport trouble" seemed kinda like BS to me. Since then, I have my doubts.

Well to me it seemed like that "passport trouble" was a complete load of bull. If I remember correctly, that Anime Con announced DAI would play at their convention but DAI made no recognition of this event. To me that seems like the convention promised to get DAI to attract attention to it, but DAI had absolutely no intention of going. When DAI turned them down the convention made up some bull lie to explain what happened. But that's just what I thought when all that went down.

Despite this, I want DAI to come to America so so bad. There would be absolutely nothing to prevent me from going this time around. Now I'm actually an adult and can go if I please. The only thing stopping me in money and that is kind of easily overcome. I should make an Emergency Do As Infinity America Tour Fund.

If they hold an Asia Tour and come to Singapore I'll be so happy

By the way, anyone knows which venue is bigger? Zepp Tokyo or BLITZ?

I want them to come back to America also!!

Specifically Dallas, Texas because I'm moving near there and I never seen DAI live!! so sad

*Sighs* I give up. Seems I'll never be able to see a DAI concert! I found out that I won't have this job here in this area. I'm not even sure if I'll have a job after March. Geez. Maybe that job I interviewed for in Sapporo will work out. I'd just take a trip to Sendai. Seriously, 6300 yen isn't much at all.

Yay! got my ticket recently for the yokohama show! no. 1000... thats pretty back isn't it? I was checking the website today and based on the pics on the site, i'd estimate only 1500 can fit in max ( http://www.bayhall.jp/about/index.html ) though i am in no way an expert on it.

Don't worry SSJ i'm sure some way or another there will be another chance even if this doesn't work out for you this time... I remember not being able to go to the final concert ... was pretty frustrated but here I am with my second chance! Life is full of surprises!

^ woow congrats XD please tell us the report after you watch them hehe..

Wow, when you made that post, my power was out from the earthquake and Tsunami stuff.

Anywho, life is full of surprises, but this is the second time that I'll miss out on seeing DAI, and I loved EIGHT. I hope something comes up so I can stay to see it and that everything gets back to normal over here.

Well, at least you're going to manage to see them. Please share the experience if you can. ^_^

phew! thankfully you are ok from the quake! Did you suffer any damage? Was it freightening? Only been in 1 quake here in toronto and its really not much but I still feel it shaking once in a while at work (maybe because my chair sucks or people just stomp rather than walk).

and yes, life is full so surprises alright... I posted that right before the quake (or before i found out about the quake). Since I was planning on going to the tohoku region around apr/may which is why I planned to go to the concert but thats not really happening............ I guess the only suvenior i will have is the ticket.

I didn't suffer any damages, although when I came home, I did see stuff on the floor that fell and my fridge had moved, but for the most part there was close to no damage. Hardly anything fell. The main inconvenience I had was that I didn't have any power or running water for a while. The craziest part, for me, during that quake was the fact that it was snowing too. It happened while the students were in an assembly in the gym. They came back to their classes, we got under the desks, the power went out. We then had to go outside (like a fire drill), and it was windy and snowy. T_T

Anyway, the trains still aren't running in this area, Sendai area (Iwate, Miyagi, and Fukushima being the worst of them, imo) is screwed, the convenient stores aren't as convenient now because they aren't stocked, junk like that.

As for the earthquake itself, it was a bit nerveracking since I'm from Richmond, Virginia. We don't get quakes there. Even now, we're still having aftershocks/tremors. One just occurred a short while ago. We're also supposed to start doing rolling blackouts to help preserve energy. Everything is crazy here, and I think more radiation has leaked from the nuclear plant. Home is sounding good right about now....but even if I could leave, I can't right now. Haven't been paid, and without the train, have to find an alt way of going to Tokyo since Sendai's airport was flooded from the Tsunami.

That aside, I wonder if they may just cancel it until further notice. I'm not even sure if Zepp Sendai was affected. Maybe things'll be under control by the time the concert is held.

^ oh thank God you're alright.. I also remembered you said in this thread that you're living near Sendai.

some artists - I know moumoon and Koda Kumi - are canceling their tour now, and all releases this month are postponed.. I hope everything will be okay by the time DAI hold their concert.

The tour is delayed due to the tsunami of march 11. (or at least that's what i understand here )

All this is saying is that they are pushing back the general ticket sales for these performances. The dates haven't changed according to this.

See? That's why I have to continue learning japanese

So the sales were pushed back. Still sucks I won't be able to go.

Zeep Sendai show is officially postponed.

http://d-a-i.com/news/110405.html

I wonder how long coastal Sendai'll be in ruin. Not just for the DAI concert, though, obviously.

goods!




gonna buy the live photobook

@lanfix: wonderful goods!

The Tour stats today! And yesterday Ban-chan has posted a message on blog http://ameblo.jp/dai-929/



By excite translator:

The tour will start finally from tomorrow.

It is a nightclub this time.
It seems to become a hot stage again.

Everybody in various places, it waits.


And,


It became shape that a East Japan great earthquake on March 11 was received, and the Sendai performance scheduled at first saw off.

We also wish, and the day when it can surely meet you of the fan in the Tohoku region again with a smile is believed.

^ I think she said ライブハウス！, means 'live house' not 'nightclub' XD

oh why am I not a Japanese.. really want to go watch their concert.

LOL @nightclub

OMG OMG. What an amazing set list! I wish I could go in person =( I'm definitely gonna have to buy the DVD. I love that they're bringing back Kagaku no Yoru . . . I think Dear Memories and Hand in Hand will sound amazing back to back. And a NEW SONG!?!?

SO EXCITED!

NEW SONG!! OMG I just wake up from sleep and tell me it's not dream XDD

amazing setlist! I really want to listen Boku ga Egaiteta Boku and Dear Memories live.
and ai no uta wasn't the last song they performed on encore

I hope we'll get this on DVD!

We haven't heard some of those songs live in a while, like "Gates of Heaven." I can't wait for the DVD release. New song "Chikai (Vow)!" I guess that's what Ban-chan was caught recording? I really wanna watch a DAI concert now.

Translation of Ban-chan's new blog message:


I'm not sure if they'll reschedule Sendai's show for this tour.

Now that I'm re-looking at the setlist, I think that given what Japan has gone through in the last two months, ending with "Ai no Uta" and "For the Future" feels like a perfect choice.

My best wishes go out to DAI, DAI's fans, and all of Japan for a "arata na START" for the future.

I wonder how 誓い sounds.. Hope they'll announce new single soon!

I think it will be a ballad again, Do As seems to be going towards a lighter sound direction these days.

Aww!! I want to be back in Japan...sorta! I'm finally back in the US (was unable to find another job). Come to the US, DAI!! Come to the US!! Go to NY again!!! I would die happy if I could see just one DAI performance in my life!!

watching DAI live concert is on my "to-do before die" list..

I just heard that yesterday Van played guitar on the song Dear Memories and Wonderful Life XDD
and if I didn't read wrong, they sold limited hand towel like this:



there are only 888 pieces and each towel has this serial number

my dream come true!!!

Furthermore I found the support members:

Hirotaka Sato (guitar)
Jun Takase (keyboard)
Yoichi Okamoto (bass)
Jun Matsumoto (drums)
YUKA (chorus) --> http://www.yuka-v.com/

I like the tour goods for 'EIGHT'.

How I wished the original Great Tour Band is back together with them.

Matsumoto Jun is back XDD This year's live tour must be awesome..
I demand DVD or bluray, avex!!

Wow! this is a great list!
i think this is the first time they play ALL the new songs of a new album in a same concert!
and plus, a new song! (according with they said in the concert, it will be released around july)
by the way, i think the moment of Y&T and KnY in this concert was absolutely touched and moving
anyway, i hope after tour they release a new dvd (i wish blu-ray too!! ) of one of their concert!... because, nobody has news about any "niconico" broadcasting, right?

^ I just realised that they play all new songs!

the sample of live photobook, found it at mumo XD



EDIT: goods already available on Yesasia> http://www.yesasia.com/global/do-as-infini...09-en/list.html

I hope they're putting out a DVD of one of the concerts, since I can't just up and go back there and I hope that with first-press releases, you can get some of the "goods" that were at the concerts. T_T

That aside, I really hope that the original GTB comes back at some point to do one concert with Ryo and Van someday. I'd be even happier if Dai came back for one concert, but that's just wishful thinking. I think I'll go listen to EIGHT again, now, since I can't go to any of the performances. *cries*
