DEAR GOD these prices lol

Honestly, they're more reasonable than Feedback!'s prices lol. For example, the tote is 1,800 yen less than the new Feedback! one (3,000 vs. 4,800) and the hoodie is 800 yen less (16,000 vs 16,800).

A 「Special Ticket」 will be given out to receive a present directly from the members of SCANDAL to the first 70 customers who purchase 10,800 yen or more of Ground Y items. (Quantities are limited)

a golden ticket! a chocolate handed by them that costed $100. would totally be fine with that

Yeah, I guess I was too shocked by the 50,000 yen jacket, but the rest is more reasonable.

I just realized this is associated with Yohji Yamamoto... to my understanding that's *big* fashion news...

I’m not a huge fashion person, but isn’t Yohji Yamamoto a pretty famous designer? So if we take that into consideration these prices are pretty typical right?  Haha <~ me trying to rationalize lol

I was there approx 5am, and ended up 7th in line :p
Before the event started about 90 people ended up lining up.

This photo there were about 30 people, it eventually double backed a few times.

11am Laforet opened were we lead in to Laforet and then they had us line up inside on the stairs in the middle of the store spiraling up. We were lead in groups of 10, went inside to see the goods, everything was one size only, i.e. I guess the intention was to make it easier to sell, would of taken ages if everyone had to try different sizes. You make your purchase and then was handed a "special gift ticket".

Turn out to be a 15min talk show in front of Laforet, the stage is kind of awkward between a huge pillar and a tree, so they ended having the stage slanted, Mami was covered by the trees for some fans (they also had to tie up some branches), talk show ended and Scandal went back stage, they brought out boxes of Tumblers for the special event held on the same stage. This free event was first come first serve, and they allowed us to wait at about an hour before the start.

The special event ended up being a mini meet and greet and having the tumbler handed out by one of the members, we went in in groups of 4s. I was in the first group and luckily we all aiming to meet different member The special event ended in about 15 mins too.

[Laforet staff gave us the usual talk about no photos/hi touch/talking etc and that we should just pick up our tumbler from a member, Scandal totally ignored all this and we all chatted, handshake/hi5 etc.
The mangers were right there to give us a nudge when it was time to go]

(Whilst I was waiting for the other fans to do their meet and greet, I talked to Team Scandal a gave a heads up that everything should be good with the America VIP gift and that we made contact with the promoters, previous they told us to contact the promoters)

When it all ended, they took this shot:

Then they waved goodbye and left.
