If it is so important to you to stand super close the the stage, sure. But in a 500 people venue, I really don’t care if I stand in the last row. Honestly, that’s the advantage of the small venues.
It will be interesting to see how many will show up for the shows in EU! I recommended my brother to go since he knows him a bit but he is like everyone else poor af due to the economy.. and the oil thing isn’t exactly making things better.
Good luck Kamijo!
I didn’t expect to have to join the new fan club to get the advance tickets, but I panicked because of the venue change and the publicity that Resurrection Fest is giving in Spain.
VIP 1: €120
"Meet KAMIJO after the show and take a photo with him using your own smartphone. Photos will be taken by our staff.
Autograph on one personal item
VIP 2: €80
“Meet KAMIJO after the show (no photo included)
Autograph on one personal item”
Only the official fanclub can purchase it.
More info about this
"VIP Packages do not include an admission ticket. A separate valid admission ticket is required for entry and participation in VIP activities.
VIP benefits and member-exclusive content are tied to the account used at the time of purchase.
An active membership is required at the time of the event. If your membership is canceled, terminated, or becomes inactive for any reason prior to the event, this ticket and all related access rights will become invalid without refund.
I wish people would stop buying these type of sheety packages to force the artis to give something similar of the value ppl is paying…but I guess fandom is never that rational…
This also doesn’t include the mandatory fanclub membership that seems to have limited slots and is only open through today. So my understanding if you’re a European fan is you’re paying potentially all of this:
General admission
VIP package
$15 monthly membership that you can only join this month, so you’re technically paying that monthly fee until September
I would never.
No musician is worth all that. Because to be fair? I don’t think he cares about his fans that much. But I’ll shut up now because I’ll get off topic.
The tour starts this week. There’s no news about merchandise yet. In Spain, though, they did announce the schedule. I don’t know how things will play out in other countries. I’m nervous.
On my way to the Helsinki gig just now and came to think if anyone has read any announcement of the support members? Last time I think Kamijo did a post but couldn’t find anything now
Please let us know how it was! (And the merch listing and setlist if you can haha)
Absolutely no idea about the support members though… I think MASASHI quoted one of his tweet about being in Europe, so I’m guessing he’ll be there, but don’t quote me on that haha
Ok very quick first thoughts as I’m running to catch my bus:
merch: actually reasonably priced t-shirts 35€, then i didn’t catch the prices for other stuff but not as reasonably priced: hoodie, roses, plushie-thing (whatever it’s called), some jewellery or something in a small box
They started late because the queue to get into the venue took forever, things that slowed it down: tickets bought from different places had to be scanned with different machines, probably something with the million different vip-tickets as well, not enough staff
They seemed to have fun, the set was long, Kamijo stood there alone taking in all the screams even after the bar lights were already on and the others left lol
He told us to put the phones away for Fuyu Tokyo, and honestly it might have been the best song with the crowd going wild the whole time (I might be biased as Lareine is still my fav project of his)
The audience was soyoung, way younger than at other shows I’ve been this year like Kaya, Mucc, etc - Idk what Kamijo has done right(?) to get all the teens love him like this.
Edit for merc: there was also acrylic something, standee or a keychain whatever, but I think I didn’t see it (and/or possibly some of the other small items) as I left, so some things might have sold out. Not sure! Hopefully they have phased things out to have at least some stock for every stop of the tour.
