well, the fact they are year after year establishing new record numbers of participants I think speaks for itself. and I disagree that nothing can be done about distances. even if they really needed to do the festival in Odaiba, they could manage it a lot better. Venus Fort, Mega Web and Zepp Tokyo are not used. they are closer (and indoor!) to the Smile Garden area than My Navi, for example. Smile Garden stage could be placed in another point too, since the that park/walkaway is huge. see other big music festivals (such as Summersonic or Rock in Japan), they are a lot better planned so you don`t need to lose so much time walking or in entrance lines. when they have a bigger distance, they offer a free shuttle bus between stages. TIF on the other hand doesn`t even put fucking maps in the park showing which direction is each stage. -___-

According to their twitter Ladybaby will appear on missID 2015 Special Stage.

wattstax and I already changed our plans for the scheduled shows.

one thing is for sure. there are TWO shows I`ll see no matter what fucking happens. I`ll kill if needed. SKE48 since the senbatsu members will be performing (which means my fucking Churi and delicious Sumero) and Afilia Saga since I wanna see Raymee one more time (will be difficult to me to see her later until her graduation show). the others... if I can see, nice. if I can`t, whatever. even Up Up. sorry Nyansan.

I just realized this thread is here.

I lucked out and got a free foreigner pass. I also work for an airline so I can fly nearly free as well. I got the time off from work so... my cheapest Japan trip yet!

:
This will be my first time at TIF and I've read all the comments about heat, crowds etc..., which is all expected for this kind of thing. I'm working on a schedule of who I want to see. I have about 13 stages on my list for the 2 days and, hopefully, enough time to travel between them. I have some free time to wander around if I don't have to stand in long queues too much.
I'm a little confused about the entry for some venues. If I go to the DMM.yell special at "Heat Garage" 16:05 on 8/2, can I just stay in there and watch the other shows until Dempagumi Inc. performs there at 18:55?

"Heat Garage" aka Zepp Diver City wasn't there last year but, I am guessing that, like other stages, as long as you plan to stay and watch, you don't have to leave. I distinctly recall some fans (of a certain group) who were camped out for hours at Hot Stage with their arms crossed waiting for their group to appear last year.

Probably mentioned before but, if you're not staying in Odaiba and planning to take the Yurikamome, it'll be near impossible to get on at anywhere but Shimbashi (where it starts) because there's also that Fuji TV event going on so a ton of families and stuff will be going there. 2nd day I tried to get on at Shiodome (one station away) and I let 2 trains go by before I just shoved myself in there.

wattstax · « **Reply #165 on:** July 19, 2015, 06:12:38 PM »

Oh yeah, those...

Luckily I can avoid those type of fans you think about, as no group of interest for me performs before them

miitan · « **Reply #166 on:** July 19, 2015, 06:49:41 PM »

I'm the type who can appreciate a live performance even if it's a group I never heard of. I may become a new fan or not, but I think lives are almost always fun so I will show respect to the performers.

I'm in Sendai mid September, I guess I could get to Aomori Rock Festival since Ladybaby will be there..

Though judging from maps, Aomori is way further away than I thought.

Someone made a spreadsheat of the timetable

San Minute apparently changed name to Sanmini !!! (サンミニッツ　→　サンミニ)

And I think my Fiance is saying that she needs to get #1 or #2 to be able to go to TIFF (probably not likely)

wattstax · « **Reply #169 on:** July 20, 2015, 07:09:03 AM »

What is the use of the spread sheet? It is basically the plan released by TIF.
I liked San Minutes more as a name. I will be curious, if they thought about changing the name BEFORE printing the merchandize for Platinum Sonic.
I have a different idol I support for the DMM.Yell spot. Let the competition start!

It's smaller and in text form.

I installed the app but I can't figure out how to find her :/ also do they compete for a performance at TIF or what, and as I said it's unlikely they could make it with so many more popular idols in the competition.

wattstax · « **Reply #171 on:** July 20, 2015, 07:49:20 AM »

Yes. They compete for a live at TIF, probably the one on Heat Stage still left undetermined on Sunday.
You search by clicking the magnifier glass and then type the name of the idol (if solo act) or the group. Or you scroll the list.
But yea. Too many popular idols in the run...

I've been spamming yells for かとう唯 of 平成琴姫

Although her DMM.yell app seems almost as buggy as mine, as it won't let her post any new pictures

LOL, just tried to use the app and why trying to vote it just closes down (crashes!!!)

And I voted for someone else because it seems like Yanome Yoshiyu is a bit of a dirty girl, checked who she is following and she has at least 3 AV-idols on the list, never saw a gravure model following AV-idols before!

. My friend and I are voting Yururirapo also.

I was trying to find some of the Bellring girls on twitter and thought I'd look at wattstax profile to get them and what do I see... he's went behind my back and befriended my girlfriend, that's not cool

Anyways I can't really figure out the app, it's like the cheerz app except impossible to use and crashes all the time (I think it's the only app I've ever had to crash).

wattstax · « **Reply #176 on:** July 21, 2015, 07:06:39 AM »

Lol, this thread had become the DMM.Yell thread now

About the crashes: I have that too everytime the level changes. But I can simply avoid the crash by just assigning the last point individually, not in a row. Though I shouldn't tell you that as it keeps competitors away

Don't know about me following any new idol. Then I checked and have a @miyu030227 listed - but no memory of following her or even knowing her

Rezar, you stole my password?

But Thumbs Up for looking up Bellring Girls Heart

I've been watching the most recent live a lot lately, looks like good fun

EDIT: Btw. thanks for the info on how to not crash the app, seems to work if you just don't use all your "yells" at once.

wattstax · « **Reply #178 on:** July 21, 2015, 06:38:09 PM »

Unfollowed her for your sake

Still undecided if I rather go for Bellring's show on the 26th or rather to Kana of Chu-Z' Birthday concert. Why they share the same date, damnit?

To stay on topic:
What is this "Idols will sell Ice Cream in Grand Market area"? Sounds delicious, in many ways. Will there be a timetable of featured idols?

^ Kana's seitansai, obviously...
