I immediately recognized Metallica's stage haha.

haha seriously...

-------------------------------------

This, in my opinion, is a logical guess. Based on info from Osaka-Jo Hall's official site, this is could possibly be the set up for the 360° show, if in fact "360" does refer to having the stage in the center of the venue:



This can seat up to 16,000 people, which is the configuration that can seat the most people in the venue.

If it's like other in-the-round shows I've been to before, I wonder if they too will be transported to the stage 'secretly' in giant boxes haha.


I'm not too fond of them playing at Yokohama Arena. I saw them there for the Happy Music Live last November and although the sound sounded fine on the TV recording, it was horrible hearing it in person. It wasn't very clear and sounded pretty bad overall. Hopefully they've since made it better.

And I can't believe these shows are only 3 weeks after their Hawaii live! Not sure if we can do both of these yet

I doubt it's going to be an actual "festival" (I'm guessing you're thinking something like the summer festivals the band has performed at before?) because it's at Yokohama Arena, which is indoors. It's all assigned seating and will most likely all be the same price.

I doubt it'll cost anymore than their usual shows (5000~ yen).

I'm can't wait it .happy.  I'm only just say bigger thank you for SCANDAL, because SCANDAL Arena start June 2014. Coz, I'm finished National Exam. 

A lot of guessing and questions but I think it's normal we are all very happy and excited and want to know everything .clap. 

It looks like they won't stay in vacation in Hawaii too long if it's only 2 weeks after... I guess they will have tons of things to do and check Was hoping they could relax a week in Hawaii but with the dates I doubt it now.

"Guessing" is part of what people do when they talk to each other about upcoming events 

I messed up earlier - I've bought their last four discs as soon as they came out and had a brain fart about their release dates. If they do produce a disc from one or more of these shows, it'll be later than their usual schedule and would bump up against their normal album release schedule. But I can't believe they wouldn't do a disc release of a couple of major arena events that look to be their biggest of the year.

That's often the problem with arena shows (and stadium shows) in my experience, although some definitely have worse acoustics than others and sometimes it depends on where you sit.

I wish I could make it to Japan again for one of these shows... I'll have to see what's in the cards.

My first thought when I heard "360" was that they've come full circle back to Osaka-jo Hall. They fulfilled their dream of playing there the first time, and after a year or so of touring, growing, and becoming a better band, they're going back to see how much they've changed.

Either way, I'm excited!

gawd gawd gawd... sugoi!
so many questions, i don't think i can't really post it one by one here~

can't wait!.happy.

okay Journey is planned so far.. i need only 1 more thing: 3 Tickets! ;-P

if the 360 means a central stage, I'm sure RINA had this idea taking it from ayumi hamasaki's concerts  .evilgrin. 

anyway an ARENA tour (if we can call it this way, since it's 3 days long) is kind of rare for a band in my opinion, sounds more like a schedule for a pop group BUT it proves how much scandal can archived. yokohama is huge for them but sometimes bands play in arenas even if they are not sure they can do a sold out (just check the gazette's tokyo dome concert)
definitly looking forward this  .uhuh.

Yeah but for Yokohoma it's a festival with other bands no? It's not like Budokan or OJH was where they are alone.

Orr did I understood wrong?

OJH will be SCANDAL only but then Yokohama is with other artists it seems so I doubt Princess Princess was the last to do that?

The name of the show is "Festival", I don't think there is any official information on there being other artists there, it's just a guess people are making.

Sam/320x200 is correct; besides the dates and titles of the concerts + ticket onsale info, no other information has been officially released yet.

This is kind of why heavy speculation/random guessing for something that'll happen several months from now is sometimes not the best thing to do, as things can get misconstrued/what's pure speculation can be mistaken as the truth.

And you were also correct in what you said a while ago, Sam; the amount of random guessing in this thread was a little crazy, haha.

It'll be so cool if playing 'in the round' is what the 360 deg means for the girls, yo! Wish I could go - looks like it'll just be the Blu-Ray if and when they release it! Here's to hoping.

I live in South America, but I'm really planning to travel to japan in june, just for the 2 Yokohama shows.

The only thing i could see was that the release of the tickets for the general public is on 19-april and the price is around the 5000 yen each. i don't have any membership in scandal-mania, so i have to wait until then, and hope for that time, will be tickets left.

How can a foreign, non Japan resident buy those tickets?

i was looking in the hot stuff promotion website and there are some links where can buy the tickets, but all are in japanese and i couldn't find out how to join or do that.

thanks for your help.

fdjp.com will take care of everything for you, for a fee. Be sure to follow their directions exactly.

Or you can wait for tickets to be available on Yahoo Japan Auctions and use a buying service like Rinkya to purchase them for you.

Or you can ask a service like Rinkya to enter the lottery for you. (Beware that lotteries are completely random seats. If you're flying all the way to Japan for a show you will, in my opinion, be better off by using Yahoo Japan Auctions to buy tickets in as good of an area of the arena as you can afford.)

I will check those sites to see how they work. luckily me i have plenty of time yet. but i have to know well how to do the things before.

Thanks a lot.

Does anyone know how much I have to pay for a seat in the front area (that I can actually see the band members .wow. )? Just a rough estimate would be fine...

@WeirdRain: You'd probably have to buy it secondhand from a ticket reseller, and be prepared to pay $300+ for a good seat.

I've got my ticket for the 28th and i'm still waiting for the 29th but when I took a look in the description, I noticed that ticket will be send only in April and I will be in Japan from mid-March...
Does anyone know if rinkya can ship tickets to an other address if I ask us or it will send to the address with which you signed up ? And in the last case, can someone receive tickets for me ?

@babaloued: They can ship it to wherever you want them to, so you can have them send it to the place that you'll be staying at in Japan.

On the 22th in Osaka are 2 different kind of Seats. "S" And "A" What does that mean?

Are the "S" seats on the floor surrounding the stage?

Need to buy good tickets ;-P

@babaloued: FC tickets? I thought the normal ones aren't available yet. Could you decide on the location of your seat or was it like a lottery?

I'll be in Japan during this time! I want to go to one of the Yokohama Arena ones

When do the general sales come out ? I'll be in Japan from April, and I would rather buy it in person

I don't know what does "Official HP" mean but ticket sales for them are from 2nd to 16th February and the next day general sales, I guess
