Meantime, I'm saving up money to go to Japan.

I hope you can get there soon! Do you go there just to see them during a show or do you go to visit Japan?

On topic, I hope they do an Euro tour someday but i don't see it happen soon, doing something like that must be expensive and takes a long time to organize.

But yeah imagine them playing in Paris, Berlin, Rome, etc

I've always been in love with Japan, its traditions and culture. I want to visit Tokyo, Osaka and other places, but if I could also see Scandal live... well, that would be a dream!

Oh i see, it's a bit like me ^^

Well i hope you can get enough money soon! You should try to see them when you go there, like wait for them to announce a concert and then take tickets online to plan your trip. Would be a shame to go there and not see them

I know! .omg.
Hope I can do it for next year.

@Eireen: It's an advice and you probably know it but if you plan to travel a lot, get the Japan Rail Pass. It's really useful ! I spent about 10 000 Yen using the train in 1 week ...

Yep, I already know about the JRP. I'll definitely get on the Shinkansen! .wow.
I'm just a little worried about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0A9-oUoMug


How was your trip, babaloued? Was it difficult for the language?

Yup, babaloued is right. It's very useful if you plan to cover a larger distance. We took the one for two weeks, but We didn't notice that 2012 was a leap year, so we had to pay the trip from Nagoya back to Tokyo by ourselves which was already around 10.000 Yen. .whiteflag.

Edit: About the language: Tokyo wasn't a problem. People directly talked to us in English, which was a bit disappointing for us because we wanted to use our japanese. The staff of every hostel (Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagoya and Hiroshima) we stayed in also spoke English. The more you get away from Tokyo, the more difficult it becomes (my experience). Especially if you wanna do trips to the countryside.

Fell free to pm me, if you want to know about my hostel experiences

Amazing !!! haha I went in July when it was very very very ..... hot. I don't know when you will go but if it's in summer prepare you .hot.

Do not worry about rush hour. Unless you are going to work for your trip, it's crowded but Japanese stopped to go into the train when it's full. I think this video was taken in the morning when people go to work. For exemple, I've survived in the train during the fireworks at Asakusa x)
It's pity for you Hasenfu that you couldn't speak in Japanese. Maybe because I have Asian origin, everybody talked to me in Japanese . And yeah, the more you get away from a big city, the more it's difficult to communicate in English.
Anyway, if you have any questions, because we are going to be out of subject, feel free to PM us

@Hasenfu, @babaloued: ok, sorry for the out of topic and thanks for your information!

Mmmm, sadly I dont think SCANDAL would do a European tour because they are not
that well known in Europe, hardly anyone knows them in England...sigh.
Like everyone else I really want to visit Japan because there are so many places I want to see.
It would be great if I could see SCANDAL and NMB48 in Osaka, tickets for AKB48 are like
gold dust !

With 2 friends, maybe next year we will go to Japan.

I think it would help a lot an official english site full of information and news about them. Google translator is no good for site conversion...

We had a chance that they came in 2008 at Japan Expo. If they come that'll be with other groups.

Thanks .wow. 
BTW I'm Europian fan too .smile.

Me, me, me! I'm Bulgarian but I am living in France. I was thinking these days how awesome it would be if they came for Japan Expo in Paris again.
