Glad this thread was made;
Was planning to go on ahead with fellow friends but wasnt sure of what to plan and what to do etc yesterday..
And here comes a perfect thread to clear my doubts

NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS GET PARENTS' CONSENT + WORK TO EARN $4k SGD~
(the 4k is in SGD right?)

EDIT: nvm, re-read and saw "ALL IN SGD"

Like you say, I am not alone, but really need to see my parents decision
was hoping if school sends me for attractment and I can maybe find u people
make teacher have a hard time finding me in Tokyo. Lol

Ohw.. yes.. depending on what we plan to do.. BE PREPARE FOR LOTS OF WALKING! -thanks to Turtle-san for the reminder-

Yes yes SGD.. 4k is the high amount, 2 k is good enough

-edit- March is supposingly Sakura Blossoming time

@xKai;
OH YESS.
ATTACHMENTS TO JAPAN..
LETS PRAYY TOGETHER~!

@Serenula
HAHA, BIG-WALKING TO SURPRISE SCANDAL IN JAPAN WITH OUR APPEARANCE IS WORTH IT.
And oh ok, then I guess ill need a budget of around $2.5k to suffice my wants..

same problem , me too .plank.

AH HA! This just came to my mind! I can try getting my cousin who's a scandal fan too to go join the forum, go for this, then say i'll tag along with him. Should be fine cuz he's around 30...

But chances are, is low
I don't think my college is rich enough to plan attractment to Japan
My friend last year got a attractment to a near country which is Malaysia.

mhm~ I will try to make it as cheap as possible with all my contacts and webpages

-edit- those with parental issues, focuse on what is important first.. studies or whatever.. Then after which, the money.. lastly.. then your parents.. We see how when the time comes

2012 trip... hmmmm. definitely considering this.

concert tickets wise(assuming there are friends in japan who can help to get), if u wanna bid for ur ticket number/seats, maximum i think is 4 tickets per person, so for a big group, liasing with kitty/sony/epic is actually the most ideal option. however, if the group is small and assuming we have contacts in japan that can help, each ticket(assuming they're at 4500yen each) shouldn't cost more than 100 bucks(SGD).

since scandal recognizes SH as one of their larger fan clubs, i think it would be great if we contacted kitty/epic about an "overseas" group ticket purchase and see if they would be willing to accommodate us in other ways. (here's hoping for a private SH meet & greet.) it would be great marketing for them to have a large group of fans fly in from several countries for scandal after all. epic/sony can spin this into a media story for scandal. there's power in numbers!

:D Sounds awesome.. I guess we need a large number of people for that to work.. maybe 10?

Hmm this is definitely interesting, biggest barrier for me COULD be the date, I mean, if it was January, February or even July, then provably yes, but in March or June (or any other date), well since it's only 1 week, it is possible, but I would need to check.
Will be checking this thread a lot to check for updates.

not sure abt my work schedule from march till june but it will be a dream come true for us SHSG to meet the 4 princess! alright, i shall be following this thread and start saving up! damn i will do anything to get there!

Sam, you know I am willing to be in on this! :D

Glad to hear it! Here's hoping as many as possible from the AM2 crew can make it

I don't mean to make it sound harder than it is or anything. Japanese people are incredibly polite and friendly and things really aren't that hard to figure out. Just that every bit of preparation ahead of time makes things easier and gives you more time to relax and enjoy Japan while you're there.

HA! My cousin has been to Japan countless times before I have, but on my first trip out there, I ended up explaining how the train system works because that fool is so clueless that he never learned how and where the tracks run, so he relied heavily on his wife and other fam members to take him everywhere... HA HA!

And yes the Japanese are polite, but the younger crowd is where that line disappears... Depending on where you are, you'll get a lot of stare downs... For me at least... HA HA! Well that's just a personal thing because of my personal appearance and where I was going those particular nights, so Japan in the daytime is super friendly! Just don't forget to stand to the left side of the escalator if you're just cruising up and down it, the business class will run you down if you're in the way...

Ah, but it might be bad timing for me on this trip since I'm already planning on going in April for the Blooming Season... BUT let's say I do go, then I'll probably bum out at my cousin's place to save on some cash to provide plenty of booze to everyone... CHYEAH!

When was this planned for anyways? I saw a guesstimation around June'ish/Spring time?

I can do Summer 2012, that's about all I can confirm for now, pricing shouldn't be a problem unless the Japanese Yen shoots up massively to most other other currencies. I've been to Japan before, but I don't speak Japanese at all currently, so yeah...

I'm all in on this Sam! I was planning to post this suggestion too.

We can all post travel tips and wishful thoughts all day long but when it comes right down to it we need to wait for SCANDAL dates. Save money starting NOW! that way when it's decided when we go there's no surprises. How far in advance do they usually announce concert dates? I'd love to get in a couple shows if the dates work out.

I love the idea of using an SH group trip as a promo for SCANDAL. Nice.

Hmm....this sounds interesting but my biggest barrier would be money as Im saving up for lots of events next year but on the bright side, if SCANDAL's concert timings coincide with another concert Im planning to go that is May'N, its killing 2 birds with a stone!

Why 2012?
Why not this summer!

I might see you guys there!

Wow, I dont know my years.

Anywho, I might see you guys there, if you go!

wow... was actually planning on going to osaka this dec for some sight-seeing... for this trip... can i ask when will you guys be making this trip? might not be able to make it due to me going to enlist into poly next year... .waaa.

i was planning around 2.5k for my original osaka trip... could shelf that self-trip for this... .rich. for me, biggest problem would be if the trip clash with poly enlistment and cash...

lol yeah I was always keeping an eye out for not standing in the way of people. The left/right rule is swapped too between Tokyo and Osaka... (IIRC Tokyo is stand on the left, Osaka is stand on the right)

WOW, I didn't expect this to be growing... not only growing but going to be the ENTIRE SH and not just SH Singapore.. this is so going to be interesting :D
Thanks for everyones' support on this little thought in my head~ :D

The plan is either for March or June, this is loosely based on Singapore's school Holidays.. since well, I am Singaporean..

@HirumaKyo, Poly intake starts in April, in March you won't really be doing much, only some camping or so with CCA, Clubs and or your class peeps.

Any other questons?

Wanna go!!!
But 2 major problems for me
No.1 - Money
No.2 - National Service
Yes National Service!! Pretty sure Singapore members would know what i am talking about. I graduate at April and i have no idea when am i enlisting for Army!!

For Non-Singapore members -> If you have no idea what is National Service, basically National Service is Army, Police Force etc. which Singapore males are required to serve for 2 years (or lesser).

Depening on your IPPT, it would be more or less Novemember intake, Just like ME :D yay~ .happy.
