Tickets will be going on sale 7th August from 10am (Japanese time) but you can also buy them on the day.

This is a special one! According to the Tomioka Silk Mill page it will take an hour by Shinkansen from Tokyo to a station in Gunma, then more time on top to get to the silk mill. Still, it'd be worth it. The building looks beautiful!

It was nice ! She sings very well, the audience was on fire for "Get no satisfaction", "Stand up girls" and "Magic Number", I now know the choreography for Stand up girls XD
It rained, she and us were soaked ! When she sang "Ame ga furu" someone laugh very hard so everybody laughed, I thought about this song immediately when it rained so it was fun she really wanted to sing this song, as the possibility of the rain LOL
I saw another foreigner with a japanese, that's all....
2h and they spend time to put a I-don't-know-the-name Tarp ? Tarpaulin ? To protect her and the musicians.

Ow... tsuki to hashirinagara.. nice :D
Lately i found this song interesting... sounds great at lazy times.... XD

There's magic number too.. *jumping*. And did maaya perform full version of okaerinasai, megu? what do u think about the song? Everywhere as the last song *before encore*... i imagined some people being reminded that she's now "not available" anymore XD

Thanks for the review megu-chan.. i'm glad u have some fun.
and lol about the cricket thing
