He comments on drama related to him (anyone know what it’s about this time?), being a little needy, hinting at a DRUGS international tour already being in motion, and general eccentricity. The upside down screens are also his doing.
hahaha i saw this yesterday and was like " aaaww… but comon’ dude it’s not that deep " ( it actually technically is when a band rely on goodies and merch to make money. ) And I also think that he genuinely is over sensible because of his mental health situation. A mix of the three reasons actually
From a sales perspective I can understand the pain point!! It’s when he said “sorry to disappoint everyone who was looking forward to the EU tour”, I’ll bet most attendees are there for the experience, not the arm band. So if part of what’s causing him anguish is thinking fans will be crushed over the lack of one specific piece of merch, he should try to let that one go.
I’d say he’s more sorry for himself or his bandmates than the fans since selling cheap merch like at a high price really helps a band like his on a tour like this. That really is worthy getting a panic attack over if there isn’t any stock they can rely on to offset current economy travelling prices.
If they don’t run out of them during the tour they’ll be able to sell them on japan at a regular price over time.
