A shitload of VK-bands have been to Finland, so I wish that we could stand a chance of having Hangry&Angry here too, if there really will be an Euro-tour. I'm so super excited! And even if they won't come to Finland or even Scandinavia, releasing cd in US and touring there and Europe is a really big step and I can be really happy for them even if I wouldn't get to see them.

Yeah, J-rock is fricking huge in Finland nowadays. They talked about it on the radio last week and they said that most of the J-rock gigs in Finland have been sold out. So I'm pretty sure that HANGRY & ANGRY would sell a nice amount of tickets, even though they are not that well known over here yet

They also seem to like France for some reason, since we always have some band coming to see us. I'm really hoping they come to Paris, that would be so convenient

SomethingWild · « **Reply #6 on:** November 05, 2008, 10:03:06 PM »

Japan has a special relationship with the Netherlands (check your history books), so I'll hope they'll stop by here too

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO 'ASIA FOR ASIANS?!?!?!?!

Please come to the east coast when you come to the US! Please!

They've got a Japan tour

Seriously though, if they went all over Asia, as well as the America & Europe tours, I would feel so very left out in my little continent

Step by step though... America is a nice step, fingers crossed it goes well and they think of expanding even more... With Anime & Manga being so popular globally atm, it's should only be a matter of time before J-music/fashion kicks in... I hope!

Well since I'm not sure they'll include Spain in the tour, that would be an OK option for me.
Don't you all love the small and convenient distances in Europe?

なお、この勢いに乗り、11月28日に渋谷C.C.Lemonホールで開催される＜MySpace 2nd Anniversary in Shibuya＞のスペシャルショウケースにゲスト出演する形での初ライヴも決定。そして、なんと2009年には、日本、アメリカ、ヨーロッパ各国をまわる世界キャンペーンも計画されているという。

Basically they are planning to tour in Japan, USA and... each country in Europe. I guess they really mean the biggest countries in Europe because otherwise H&A would be on the road the whole year

Oh that's always good to hear, France should be included, if not I'm off to the closest convenient location. Besides, I really can't imagine them being allowed to tour in the Vatican

Cannot imagine they'll ever come in France, btw.

If there's one country they're going to it is France for sure!!!
Japan loves France and they have Japan Expo which always gets cool japanese acts (aside from VK/J-Rock which is the rage all over Europe)

Since the songs from their Mini-Album is not enough for a whole concert, my guess is they're going to attend some of the bigger Manga/Anime cons. I can't see them hold a concert & attract enough of a crowd on their own.

I just downloaded scoop02 which is just a shorter edit (1.36) of the (2.44) video Masa posted in another thread, there was one small part near the end though that wasn't in the longer version.

Scoop01 doesn't seem to exist any more. Was it the 2.44 version?
