Anyone here going to Aya concert this August? Because I am.

You're a lucky one Newbie. I want there too!!!!

I'll just have to wait for couple of years to get enough money...

Maybe, if I can get enough money for the trip. And I need to get a ticket for the concert, too. Everything seem pretty uncertain right now.

Mikko you'd have to make reservations soon for that trip... You'll be in a hurry. You may not believe me but i really hope you get there

Eke, rob a bank or something and come with me. I could use a friend there. Actually, I'm a bit scared to go to Japan all alone...

But if you can't come, then I have to go alone. I'll just stay away from yakuzas and I should be all right. Hopefully...

Or you could wait a year and go next year when i have money too... That would give us both enough time and we wouldn't have to go in a hurry.

JAPAN!!!

I should maybe put this to my sig already but where are those new subbed episodes of Ace wo Nerae?!?!?!?

For those worrying about travelling alone, don't - I'm sure we can organise a Jdorama group trip for those who want to go

For anyone seriously considering going and is worrying about the cost, having done this twice before, it'll probably be around the £600/US$1200/€850 mark (flight, hotel, food) plus spending money. This largely depends on how cheap your flight is, but that's based on flying from Heathrow to Narita via another European city, like Frankfurt.

@Eke: Don't worry, we're just finishing them up now. There's an internal rule that says we have to have four complete episodes done before we can start releasing them. They'll be out v. v. soon

My japanese friend is moving back to Japan this summer, so my only chance is to go there with here, but she said i needa pay for flight tickets......which i don't have $$$$ for, so i was thinking of hiding in her luggage bag

Whew, that a 8-9 hour flight. You sure you can handle it? You get no snacks, the leg room is nonexistant. Couldn't you work at your family's restaurant to raise the money? Just a thought.

I don't think i can handle washing dishes or cook the food<---Risky for the customers, other than that i can try making those pearl drinks. If lucky, i can jus ask my grandparents for the $$$$, probably have to give them grades first. But in the end i don't think i'll like working at the family restuarant, my aunt gets bitchy, i don't think i can handle seeing her on her off day....but if that cute girl working at the one on Story Road is there, i think i'll suck it up and jus give working there a shot just to get to know her a bit more

Now that's the spirit. See? You'll get to do two things: earn money for Japan and get to know someone you want to meet.

Hmm. I usually fly from SFO, but it has been a couple of years since I last flew to Asia.

Depends ... from SF Ihad a 12 hour flight out and a 9 hour flight back. Something like that anyway.

yea the return flight is usually a bit quicker since your not moving against the spin of the earth

Hey genji!

I think I will definitely be going this summer if I can manage to get a concert ticket. I've done the maths and I should be able to earn enough to go for a week - do a bit of shopping, go clubbing and of course, go and see Aya

if i understood it the right way from what her official website stated, the ticket selling will not start before june ...



but since it seems like i will be in japan for taking part in an internship-programm, i will be in japan from beginning of august 'til mid of september. this should be enough time to go at least to ONE of her concerts ... but that stay will ruin my bank-account for sure, since it's about 6 weeks in japan PLUS the "Azumi 2" LE dvds should be out at that time already ...



/me ... hopes to see some of you in japan as well (!)
