I just read this last night...!  As a somewhat casual fan of Go Hiromi, I really excited to see him perform in Hawaii!


For those not familiar with him, Go Hiromi has been active in the music scence since the 70's and is still going.  His most famous songs are probably his Japanese cover of Ricky Martin's Livin' la Vida Loca, GOLDFINGER '99 and 2 Oku 4 Senman no Hitomi -Exotic Japan-.



Looking forward to this even more now...w



Ah, thank for the heads up, thoseguiltyeyes! I'll be sure to get that email out as soon as I can!

Oh wow, Go Hiromi!? Can't miss out on this now haha

If we send information for the HIS package, are we committing to the purchase, or is just to gauge how many people are likely to purchase? I'd rather not commit without knowing a price.

You are not committing to anything. It's just to gauge how many are interested.

I know you mentioned so far this is for those in the US, but I sent my details through as an expression of interest from Australia. As I noted previously, I'm happy to pay for package deal and make my own way to Hawaii etc. Please keep me informed as to availability for non-US residents. Thanks.

Oh wow...I don't think I've seen this Music Fair performance yet....

Thanks for the link!



Ah, I've been kinda busy this past week, so I haven't sent in my information yet. (Doing it just a bit.) I hope I made it in time.  Nothings set in stone yet, but I definitely want to participate this time if at all possible.

I was just sent the details for the Fan Meeting packages! For everyone that has already e-mailed me their info, please make sure to check your inboxes for an e-mail from me.

For anyone else who wants to attend but has not sent me your info, please make sure to do so soon. Only those who send me their info will be allowed to sign up for the Fan Meeting deals.

Does anyone know if there was band merchandise for the last Hawaiian event?  Swag?  I'll buy!

No goods were offered for sale last time. The only thing they had was a special denim SCANDAL bag, given only those who participated in the Fan Meeting. They will have another special present for Fan Meeting participants this time too. Also, since they have an actual tour date there this time, it's likely they'll sell tour goods at the live.

Did anyone figure out what hotel the band used in their last visit?

cantacanta wrote:Did anyone figure out what hotel the band used in their last visit?

Er, we did out of pure coincidence, but I'm not going to say which. I highly doubt they're going to be staying at the same one anyway, and I highly suggest that we not try to find out...

Fine!  Keep your secrets.  .bleh.


I should say no hard feelings.  Just curious.

-_-

Even so, that information is irrelevant and we don't want to essentially be stalking the band, now do we? There was a slight incident last time where people were trying to go after the band and we obviously don't need a repeat of that.

I'm so glad it won't cost as much as it did the last time. I can finally go without worrying about having to pay an arm and a leg (and my soul, although I'm pretty sure they already have that).

Actually its going to be more expensive that last time no doubt, SCANDAL is much bigger now and it will probably have costed Ekiden a lot

Ah, I just checked again and you're right. I was getting the Ekiden mixed up with their concert for the Yellow tour since those tickets are only $60~ with tax. I can't believe they're playing twice here ahhhhhh

If you have already contacted me about the Fan Meeting, you do NOT need to do anything further. HIS will be sending you your invoices and such starting next week!

If you have not contacted me and wish to find out more details about the packages, since the site doesn't explain exactly what's in the first two packages, and/or you want to make things easier and sign up through me, please do so at scandalheavenstaff@gmail.com

Emphasis on that because I am sure someone will somehow miss that and apply on the site anyway

Hey!  Great!  We're looking forward to getting the invoices.  Thanks for doing the legwork and getting all the information out to us.

Hey guys, I figured I'd write some tips for SCANDAL's live in Hawaii that also apply to any lives outside of Japan.

1) Form smaller groups with the people you are closest with.

We learned this the very hard way. SCANDAL HEAVEN is a really big group of people. This is great for us as a site, but it is really hard to find restaurants/bars that will fit 1 party of 10+ people! So split up into smaller groups of people so that we can have lunch, dinner, drinks, breakfast, snacks, etc.

2) SCANDAL HEAVEN members don't need to be together all the time.

Even though we are like a family, we don't need to do all our activities together. Sometimes people will want to go do some shopping, have some time for themselves, do some touristic activities, etc. 

3) SCANDAL will be out and about. If you happen to see them on the streets, don't run after them. Respect them and their free time that they don't have much of and just go on about your day.

This is a pretty big deal. If you run into SCANDAL on the streets don't freak out, don't chase after them, don't scream at them. Just be cool.

If we come up with more to write up we'll edit this post. If you have any questions let me know

Heya!

If any members happen to receive their invoice, could you give us a notice here?  I'd hope not to lose the e-mail in the Spam folder. 

By the way, how many SH members are expected to be in attendance?

cantacanta wrote:By the way, how many SH members are expected to be in attendance?

About 30-ish people have contacted me about it.

----------------------------------------------------------------

We're doing another Fan Letter Project to give to the band in Hawaii! I hope those of you going can contribute and make another great project that the band will show off on their blogs/Twitter.

Here's RINA with the previous project we gave to them in Hawaii:
