Where did you request it, again?

I went through fdjp.com
Their commission was a bit higher than I expected, but not much different than other site.

I'm gonna wing it and try get tickets for the other concerts while I'm in Japan, cos at least one is in September, while I'll be getting to Japan late July.

I believe there commission is around 25% of the ticket value, still they provide good service.

Guess what I got in the post today? .clap.

And this week I just made friends with someone who should be able to get me the one or two other tickets I'm thinking of getting as well.

YAY  .clap. congratulations !!! It's going to be amazing !!!

I was worried about not beeing able to come as I broke my foot yesterday, but there should be enough time to get better and join all of you in Japan  

So, we're 52 days away from the concert date.

Is it getting close enough that those of us going should consider planning meet ups, if interested?

We definitely should hang out the day before and find a place to eat where they'll take a large group and let us get loud again :-)

It would also be fun to meetup the day of the concert and travel there together. Since our hotels and ticket entry times will vary this will take more planning. Another after concert gathering would be fun too.

Can we start a poll or list as to what areas everyone is staying? I'll be staying near Dotonbori.


Shuttle bus info to/from the venue has been added:

I added a Google map so we can add where we are staying in Osaka.
It also shows the concert venue (Izumiotsu Phoenix) and the nearest train station:

I'm staying in an apartment a couple hundred meters east of Ogimachi Park which is about 1.5-2.0 miles north of Dotonbori.

I'll be in Nishinari, so a little bit out (7km south of osaka), but still not far, as easy ride into town.

I'm actually only going to be in Osaka on Saturday and Sunday. Most of the time I'm in Japan will be in Tokyo. I am renting an apartment right next to Yoyogi Park about a 1.5 km north of the Harajuku shopping district.

If anyone else is going to be in Tokyo in the week before or the week after the concert, let me know.

Small world. I'm startin my Japan trip in Tokyo too. We plan to visit Harajuku the week before the concert. Right after we stop at the Scandal store in Shibuya :-)

I'll be at tokyo from aug17 to 19, ill be at osaka from 19 til the day after the concert, I'll be staying at the Drop Inn osaka. (I don't have an idea of that's near to any of you guys but I'll be glad to join your meet ups)

Dotonbori is probably most central. I'm 4-5k south, ogimachi is about 3-4K north, and drop inn is about 2k west. Interesting to see where everyone else is.

In case you guys haven't seen yet, newly released info on the live can be found here:

Thanks Jade !


I'll be around Osaka from the 16th to the 23th of august, so I can join you when you want !
I'll be at Kaizuka (not far from Nishikinohama beach and KIX, at 7 stations from Izumiotsu station and about 30km from Osaka)

We'll have to hook up at some point. We'll be at our apartment on the afternoon of Wednesday the 17th.

Oh, holy cow.

Our apartment in Osaka is about a mile from Kyobashi Station. If I remember correctly, that's super close to where they used to hang out:

AH!! there it is.. can't believe it was just a post below mine. thanks!!!  .hail.

About the meet up, don't you guys want to do it at Osaka Jo koen ?

As it could be a nice place to gather and it's somehow is the place where everything started for SCANDAL

Osaka Castle Park would be an interesting place to meet up.

If we're feeling super fan-tastic, we could probably walk from there to see the Caless school, the building with the studio they used to rent practice space (with the shop where they got their name), and some other places from their early, pre-debut years. My understanding is that the location is just north of the park.

Just a reminder the official Scandal Mania Official Bus Tour (shuttle bus) tickets are on sale till Friday July 15th at 3pm, so if any of you are having any services/friends to buy tickets act soon.

Also any of you guys want to ask me questions especially for Tokyo ask away and if I have time can probably help you guys around Tokyo, As for the Anniversary Concert I should be meeting up with some of the Japanese fans that attended the 2016 Ekiden. Of course I'll look out for Jade and other SH members as well

For the concert weekend, I will take the first flight in to Osaka on Saturday and leave last flight out on Sunday night.

I will take the Scandal bus from Shin Osaka Station.

Bus sticker:

Blargh. Totally forgot about the shuttle bus. Is there a link to the sale site? I can see if the guy that got my concert tickets can get it, but there's not a lot of time left

The shuttle bus that wildthing mentioned is only for members of SCANDAL's fan club SCANDAL MANIA. I don't think you're a member, so you don't need to worry about that.

If you still want to get tickets for the regular shuttle for non-members/everyone else (there's no time limit on purchasing those), here's the link to purchase them:

I had posted more details on the different shuttle tickets here

Erich and I won't be taking the MANIA bus tour (a friend in Japan wants to go together and isn't taking the bus), but we'd love to meet up and see everyone again
