@UnknownSoliderGirl

sorry for the loads of questions. um if we pay online for the badges/passports do you guys mail to it to us or we have to go to the con to pick it up?

I know my name isn't UnknownSoldierGirl :), but badges are picked up at the con: http://am2con.org/attendee-registration/registration-information

I am now convinced it was fate that brought me to Scandal-Heaven and register as a member this past week for this exciting news.

Given all the information provided thus far by the gracious USG and all the other SH members, you can add Mercurius to the list of AM2 attendees . If anyone is looking for a fifth for their group 3-day passport let me know asap. I am very much looking forward to meeting you all and basking in what is most likely going to be one of the highlights of our short lives.

Edit> Ok, I went ahead and bought the Passport. Hope the people trying to do the group buys were able to find enough people. Are there any plans in the works for forum members to get a shared hotel room?

@UnknownSoliderGirl

i was wondering, when you pick up your badge if you decide not to do early pick up do have to go on the first day even if you don't have the badge for that day, like if i signed up for the 3rd day only do i have to pick it up on the first day the con starts? the pick up wasn't clear enough for me on that when i read the pick up info and what not.

Oh, sorry about that. You can pick up your badge any day that you want. You can even attend the other days that you don't have the badge for since attendance in the con is free.

@UnknownSoliderGirl

I was hoping to recieve an email by today about attending AM2 as a member of press but haven't heard anything back, should I send an email to the info@am2con.org ?

Go ahead and send it.

are there people still making requests about bringing more artists from Japan? i was reading twitter and someone was told they could suggest who they want at the con....

when i think about it, wouldn't it be cool to have a collaboration? that same week isn't SCANDAL and Stereopony having a collaboration that got cancelled cause of the earthquake. i was watching anime boston videos with Stereopony. dang i was thinking how cool it would be to have Stereopony come too. then maybe they can do another collaboration with SCANDAL here in the U.S.


that's just me, maybe not a good idea........but something i would definitley like to see one day in the future don't you think?

You can still make requests, but i'm not sure if most of them can be explored at this point since it is getting late in the game. More announcements soon, including the "big" one.

Thanks for all the help Unknown Soldier Girl, am excited that the SCANDAL Heaven podcast will be represented over at AM2, I asked Mr. Wang about running an ad, but he didn't respond to me about it, so I was going to read off the press release that I was emailed recently for the show in about 10 hours. I asked Mr. Wang also about the possibility of having an interview with you or him, but he didn't mention anything about that so we'll just wait it out for a little. Thanks again .clap.

Yeah sorry about that, he is very busy! I know he is responsible for negotiating the guest of honors right now.

I'll definitely be there! does anyone know which day or days Scandal will be there? maybe I'll see some of you guys around .clap. !

I don't mean to bring anyones hopes down about SCANDAL coming but look at the dates for their「Dreamer」Tour. .nervous.

Edit: I meant bring anyone's hopes down. I left this page to get the link and didn't finish the sentence before doing that. my bad.

The tour dates are in May and June. The AM2 convention is in July?? .hmmm.

@ZeroN: SCANDAL still hasn't been announced *yet*, but AM2 is supposedly going to make more GOH announcements soon.

@KoiMoyou: Bring anyone's hopes...what? Up or down? lol. I'm not sure what you're trying to say, since their tour ends near the beginning of June and AM2 is in July...

Lol, I understand what KoiMoyou was saying

I think he/she got confused with the months, only seeing the 2 and 4, assuming it was July.

I did the same thing when I checked the tour dates

Oh and Jade, put me as a "maybe" please

I may have to go to Japan, this summer, for academic reasons

I'm so embarrased but you're right Tofu. I did get the months confused. Sorry guys, atleast that's straightened out now.

@tofu
that sounds pretty exciting!

@topic
hmm not sure why this didn't get posted up yet since we were talking about it in ShoutBox:

AM2 (www.am2con.org): Something is brewing....it is both "SAD" and "SCANDALICIOUS"!!!! Get your Passports today and avoid the lines, get premier seats and get amazing discounts! Experience the difference!

Shaun@AM2: It would be SAD and SCANDALOUS if they didn't get them after all this time since this was one the there first hints.

AM2@Shaun: Don't be sad....we will be announcing very soon!

https://www.facebook.com/am2con/posts/218274821517068

Keep the hope alive everyone!

I have no doubt that they'll get Scandal!

I'm wondering whether or not Scandal will be bringing over merchandises to sell. Aside from CDs, hopefully they'll bring t-shirts, magazines, and posters! .clap.

I really hope they bring those cardigans they have on their webshop too! .wow.

So, it was just announced that SCANDAL is set to perform at this music festival in Japan called COLORS on July 2nd...

So looks like its not happening isnt it .whiteflag.

Can't say. But of course them coming over here has neither been confirmed nor denied as of right now...

I still think Scandal would choose going to the US versus playing live on another TV special. They (and their managers) would realize that the extended international audience is much more beneficial than another small concert in Japan. Plus, who doesn't like to travel for free??

Zero, unfortunately it's not entirely up to them - they are under contract and have to perform where their managers choose to book them. They appeared at this COLORS show last year, and from what I read on the site, it's a very popular event and not small at all. And honestly, they can make more money in Japan at this one show than they can with coming to the US - that's where their fan base is, that's where their music is most appreciated/understood, and that's where I'm sure they feel most comfortable.
