My wife and I are in a huge line in Nagoya. It's a holiday today (Emperor's birthday) so even around 11 when we got here the one was quite lone. There are easily a few hundred people behind us so it could be worse.

They will start selling at 13.30, and now look like it's going to rain.

Good to know.  We have umbrellas for that reason.  The line is wrapping back aroubd.  I suspect there is more than 1000 people behind us.  Scandal merchandise is popular. Though I expect the raffle has something to do with it.

That's why I bought the merch online... lol.

Enjoy the show, guys!

They didn't play Switch in Kobe. Nevertheless, can't wait which oldie they're gonna surprise us with in Tokyo. Only 20 days to go!!!

Ahhhh Right! It was Kimi to Yoru to Namida... But either of the two I would be happy! I really love both songs!

I was wondering if they would play some of the new songs they were recording in this tour as they did with hello world's one and omg they did! suki suki... curious name, it already gives me an happy vibe.

Suki Suki was great. It started with the bass but the song not-so-rock like onegai navigation. However, in my opinion, Shoujo S was the best song for tonight!!
I hope that someone can translate what they talked in mc. I don't understand Japanese, they talked about Rina's father? Iphone6 and some presents??

Suki Suki, sounds-like Tomomi wrote and/or composed the song.... I'm quite curious how it sounds like. Well in 3 months we will definitely get to hear it. Can't wait

Switch and a new song! I wonder what they'll do at Budokan.
Not sure how you can connect Tomomi with the new song just because it starts with the bass.

To be honest, I couldn't tell the difference about new version of Switch. Feel liked the song just has sound of bell ringing when it started. In addition, They played Departure 2 times since Haru's mic turned mute so she stopped abrubly and started again

Concert was awesome.  We will definitely be back in Japan for another concert sometime.

Suki . Suki sounds interesting, I wonder what kind of song it is. .uhuh.

I can now guess every 13th song and 3rd encore song on the setlist are the ones that change each venue.

Well, turns out I will be attending the Jan 12-13 concerts! Its been a crazy couple of weeks planning everything and pooling the money but now its getting real, I will be going to Japan for the first time ever! I cant even believe it to be honest, I'll believe it once I arrive at Narita airport.

That being said, it'll be a crazy experience for me, It is a completely unexplored territory for me so my schedule will be mostly packed, if you'll be around I hope to see you there. 

I have 2 tickets (1 for each night) extra so if you still need some send me a PM, face value obviously just trying to help out. 

Cant wait to see the shows!!!

See you there, then. Can't believe it'll be 13 more days to Budōkan!

We're back home, Anyone that has any fears about credit cards for merch don't worry, I had no problems with a chip and sign card.

I picked up the documentary, but been have not had a chance to watch it yet.  I'm quite happy that I got the limited towel and t-shirt in Nagoya, as they still had them when we got up many hundreds of people deep in the line.  The Tote Bag is awesome, it's bigger then any other of this style we've seen.   It was great for carrying things we bought around Japan until we had to upgrade to a larger bag.

Lesson Learned - if it's a holiday plan to show up even earlier if you want to be front of the line.   Many other lessons were learned as this was our first concert in Japan.  But crowd control was excellent and seemed trivial compared to the crowds at New Years

Enjoy Budōkan everyone that's going 1 week from today!!!  I'm looking forward to the blu-ray release and perhaps I'll be able to spot some of you in the crowd footage!

For those going on the 12th, what time are you going to Budokan? Also, I want to buy merchandise, what time is the best to line up? I also don't want to be too early. This is my first Japanese concert.  .smile.

I haven't really decided. I may turn up at like 3:30PM onwards to soak up the atmosphere and escape the rush hour. Queues for merch might be crazy already by then, but I'm not too worried as, err... I've already bought my merch online. lol (travelling half way around the planet to one of the best cities in the world only to stand in a line for hours... uhuh).

I do still have to get the Budokan-only tee and towel, but failing that, I'll get that online too hahaha.

I really hope WOWOW isn't gonna cut out a few songs from the Budokan day 2 for run time, like they did in Scandal vs Budokan 2012, I would like to see the whole performance. .hail.

Heya! I just managed to get a ticket for the concert on the 12th as well! It'll be my first Scandal concert. Hope to see you guys there! Is there any plan on where to meet etc?

The MC tonight was interesting; they talked about what they did for the New Year holiday and HARU talked about how she peed in the ocean...hahaha. I'll try to write more about it later!

Haru peed in the ocean LOL. That's got to be a barrel of laughs. .lol.

I think most people have peed in the ocean at some time
