@TGE : Well I can't understand. I am a nobody, just a random international fan and to me it doesn't make really sense. It's not like they did 150 arenas before and they even said that 360° and Festival will be completely different so it's not like it's the same show 3 times, if it was the case obviously no one would expect several DVDs. It will be 2 (or even 3) different shows and in the past they did Budokan and OJH and we got a DVD. I guess their reasoning is "1 DVD per year".
Again, I'm a nobody and I don't know how this works behind the scenes. Maybe filming is REEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY expensive and they almost wouldn't win any money out of it or even lose money but if we get no DVD (and from what your friend says it looks almost certain...) then it's really a missed opportunity. You don't set up an arena like that every day, use it to make a DVD to improve your videography and make money and make the fans happy... It's only a win-win situation for anyone. Because you don't do a DVD out of a "normal" concert anyway, so use this chance! So much thoughts and work has been put into that concert, use that chance and make a DVD.
They want it to be a special concert for their fans there? I guess I can understand a little bit what they mean but... they are doing this all year long in Japan with tours. Japanese fans surely go to many of their concerts, international fans have nothing. While we get to see them on TV for promo and also get some short concerts on TV, this is basically the only chance for many international fans to see a big concert from them. It's not everyday they do arenas, this was their 3rd time.
It's damn hard to be an international fan to be honest. And right now I have so many mixed feelings, I am so happy they did OJH again and it looks like a huge success but basically I'm crying and I'm angry to know that there is almost no chance of a DVD...
Anyways I guess it's useless to whine about it, I'm just so sad right now that I know there is almost no chance of a 360° DVD. Don't mind me :/
