Oh, good luck!! I know that they went to lotteries in the fanclub...I've been out of Japan, so I don't know how my luck managed if they've sent the refunds already. I hope I got in for the two shows I wanted to go to, though!
Thanks! Sadly I'm over in Kantou, so I didn't apply for any of the shows near the Osaka area. Best of luck in general sales, though! The tickets are so cheap who knows how fast they'll go. XD
I know the orders for 'Pistol' with the fanclub started a long time ago; according to the official site, fanclub members only had until 8/20 (postmarked) to pick up the single, which they haven't changed with the new news, sadly; so it looks like you just missed the cutoff if you haven't ordered it yet.
I would guess that there will be fanclub editions for everything here on out, though; I'd guess those special extras are probably making them a lot of extra money considering that the fanclub rarely does goods sales otherwise these days.
I think it still stands that each member of the fanclub can only buy one copy of each edition; I'm sure they do that to prevent resale (specifically, what has happened with goods in the past where people will buy tons of them and then put them up on auction for at least 3 times what they're actually worth).
I'm really wondering if part of the reason they've got the handshake event restricted to people who collect all 6 serial numbers is trying to prevent what happened in the past with the free lives, where the same people would buy literally hundreds of copies of the singles to get tickets, which made a lot of fans upset because we all kind of knew that there was no way you'd even get into these events unless you spent more money than it was worth.
"the free lives, where the same people would buy literally hundreds of copies of the singles to get tickets"
i dunno about that because i am don't post application for free live , but one of my Japanese friend in told me if you are in FC you are gonna get the ticket ... for sure .... and she got the ticket and watched Free Live ...
6 serial numbers? i am gonna look at the serial number of mine, actually i never see that, because i want my friend Yukki to go there ....
ah ya Tetsuya also did this for his Bus Tour where you have to collect some serial numbers from his single to watch him live ...
i missed the FC edition of 10th single but thank God i didn't miss for PISTOL and i wonder what is the bonus for the next 12th single FC edition ...
The most recent free live, yes, I don't think anyone had trouble getting tickets; but the previous ones that they had done where you applied for tickets via serial numbers in the singles (like the one for 'Nemurihime''s release), and you could enter with as many serial numbers as you had...that was where it was a problem.
The new serial numbers will begin with 'Pistol', so be sure to hang on to them from that point on.
I don't know anything about why shuji deleted his Twitter; as far as I know, he's never said anything about why he deleted it, but I admit that I'm really behind on translating the blog entries so he might have mentioned it somewhere that I just haven't gotten around to yet. But, as far as I know, he never said anything, since I'm sure I checked his blog the day it was gone and he didn't say anything about it.
*falls all over the place* Oh man, I missed so much!! Must add the new Twitter account, STILL need the last ABC single and then must figure out how I'm going to deal with a single a month for a year (special presentssss *___*)! And an album! *squeaks!*
Okay, so, getting a grip here... I need to do some planning tomorrow. XDD
