according to JFK’s website all the jp flights get in around 6:20!!

couldn't be newark? I arrived there

it could be but i’m not sure! personally when i travel internationally from nyc i use jfk

I checked Newark page and they do have arrivals from Tokyo. It's like gambling  

yeah but those arrivals aren’t for tonight it looks like

Does anyone know start time for VIP in NY?

Ahhh does anyone wanna a meetup b4 the NYC concert i have VIP entry and this is my first concert going solo

I’ll PM you!

LoveJapan Entertainment just posted about the official merchandise they'll be selling on the tour



Are they going to be selling the same on every show?

I’m not positive but usually bands sell the same merch throughout the tour!!

I'm honestly hoping they'll have some more "generic" merchandise on the tour too... that's obviously all the specific stuff for this tour but I'm hoping they have some regular Scandal t-shirts and maybe even the Haruna photo book for sale (though they probably won't have that). I feel like it's kind of confusing to most others to wear a t-shirt that just says "Special Thanks" on the front.

I'm also kind of wondering about the VIP time, although at this point I don't imagine there's going to be any new info. I'll probably aim to get there around 5:30 or 6; it's supposed to be ludicrously hot tomorrow so I really don't want to stand outside longer than I have to.

My plans for the one little gift I could think to give them fell through so looks like I will be going empty handed...

For those going to the NY show, please let the rest know about the shirt selection.  I hope there is something that says "Scandal" on it because my second favorite Japanese band is SpecialThanks and buying a shirt that only says "Special Thanks" is not as appealing to me.  I'd like to differentiate my bands on my T-shirts.

I would also be down to meet up with people! It looks like no one from the cover band is going to the NYC show so I'll be going alone as well :-(

My ticket says doors open at 7:00 but that sounds more like a general admission time... I'm gonna shoot for a little before 6 as well.

Hi .  I'd be down to chill with some people if anyone's going to be hanging around the city in the early afternoon. No VIP for me though so I'm probably gonna head to the venue around 4:30 or 5.

hmm, based on the Instagram posts, they rode the subway to Brooklyn and are walking around Williamsburg. There's a bunch of vintage clothing stores around there (L Train).

JPopRocks just released an interview and RINA specifically said this tour will have a lot of YELLOW songs as well as their HONEY stuff!! Personally this is the best news bc YELLOW is my favorite album of all time!!!

oh no... hoping they at least play suki-suki

Haha I actually saw them walk past me on the platform coming back from guitar center  in union square but didn't recognize them until I saw all four talking to each other a few stops later. My mind froze for a bit .sweat. . They got off at Bedford Av.

just got the email from AXS tix about VIP NYC doors....

Hello Scandal VIPs!

Hm I'm getting in around 4:30 so I don't think I could hang out earlier :-(

LOL that's exactly how I feel right now. I wonder if anyone else ran into them?

I keep going to places a hour or so before their Instagram post, meh.

I was at Time Square and the intersection where Rina took her photo today.

This afternoon I went to the Box office, they said there will be two different lines for entering, GA and VIP, and there was only 200 VIP sold, so the lady said you probably don't need to arrive too early.

What are the chances they would include these 6 to their Special Thanks tour? 

There is a really high chance of them including Everybody Say Yeah, Shunkan Sentimental, and Love Survive, out of those 6 you listed, those are songs they always play live. 


I suppose they would also include Electric Girl, as a towel spinning song instead of Doll, Flashback No.5, and of course, Scandal Baby.

Thank you for the info
 
Seems like there will be some songs from Yellow as well (mentioned by Flightstar) which is nice..  .love.
