« on: May 05, 2014, 08:35:47 AM »
YES. GUYS. AS THE TITLE SAYS.

Ok, breathing.

As announced at the afternoon concert of the Evolution tour on 5/5, Morning Musume will be travelling to New York for their first solo concert (that is not affiliated to any other event). Further details will be forthcoming, I will update the top post with more details as they come.

MY AMERICAN COMRADES. YOU MUST GO AND SEE SAYU BEFORE SHE LEAVES. THIS IS AN IMPERATIVE.

Peace.

Hey guys, who among you are 1) planning to go, 2) speaks Japanese?

I was talking to a Japanese journalist from Billboard Japan and it seems like he's planning to go to New York (unconfirmed though), and it'd be cool if whoever will be going could liaise with him and show him around. Being Japanese-speaking helps, of course. XD

Mostly counting on rokun to go LOL but anyone else who wants to volunteer will be cool too!

Pretty excited for this. Best Buy Theater is a nice place. Kyary Pamyu Pamyu had her concerts there. But it's much smaller than the place they had the Anime Expo concert at. (five years already!?)

Hopefully I'll see some familiar faces I haven't seen in a long time.

Also for those planning on coming here, Oct 9-12 is New York Comic-con.

@Estrea I'd volunteer because I live just outside NYC but I don't speak Japanese.

@jaysonnj: No problem, I have a feeling rokun will make time to go and he speaks fluent Japanese. You can play tour guide and rokun (or anyone else!) can be translator. Maybe you guys can score an interview with him XD I keep the best deals for my fellow jphipsters!

It's extremely likely I'll be able to make this one.

The plane tickets are cheap enough for me to make a weekend trip out of it.
I've got a few other friends who plan to go as well.

If anyone else in the LA area wants to join in, PM me and maybe we can coordinate a bit!

I would love to go, but I'm in such a deep hole debt wise there's just no way. Couldn't really afford it when they came to LA, most of that was on cards that  I am trying to pay off.
   I was very frivolous before the economy tanked and have been unable to recover from it.
The Berryz in NJ was a fluke. The only reason I was able to go there was the bank payed me back after raping me the previous year.

Well, there's always a chance I'll win the lottery.

Updated with ticket prices. They haven't mentioned when the tickets are going on sale though.

I don't care what I have to do I am going to this. I just spent the past weekend trying to figure out how I could possibly get to Japan and go to a concert before Sayu graduates and now this falls in my lap. Oh yeah I'm so there! This is the best kind of news to wake up to. (I'll miss my sister's birthday for this but come on priorities)

Doing my best to make it.  Coming from NorCal but I have plenty of friends in NYC to bum a place off them.

Now, to make sure that bank account can withstand more shock.
