Tokyo Idol Festival 2011

Omg, I really want to go this year. But I say that every year Last year I actually saved the schedules on my phone and then spent an hour going over it, circling which shows I would see if I was there . And for some reason I still have them on my phone:

For anyone who can go, I highly recommend it. I went to the first day of TIF 2011 and it's basically one of the best memories of my life. I'd highly recommend going on both days, since lots of things are running simultaneously, and it'll give you a better chance to check out more stuff. I don't think it is actually possible to see everyone, though, so you'll have to prioritize once you see the schedule 

Just curious, but do they clear out each venue before and after each performance? Or can you basically camp out at a particular stage (like if all of your favorite acts happened to be performing at that specific stage), could you just stay there all day? Is there a particular strategy for getting front row spots? I personally would sacrifice seeing a large number of groups, for a chance to see my two or three favorite from up close.

We were able to camp out. They basically relied on people wanting to go around and see other things, so when everyone went to do other stuff when Vanilla Beans came on, we were able to get up close and pretty much in the front row for Manoeri who came next. This year will be a little different, though, since they're not using the roof & they have the new Zepp, so it's hard to say.
