I had to look up how Takeru’s previous foreign forays were and here’s the show he did with Hiroto in case you were on the fence of getting tickets to this extravaganza
How popular are they actually in EU? South America I understand, or the US but EU feels tough, somehow. Is there a big demand for them?
I might be completely wrong!
Both Alice Nine and SuG have been some of my favourite bands in the scene when they were in full bloom and at the apex of their career, so it should be interesting to see them on a tour together!
And they come to Italy, so that’s a plus! Not many vk bands ever decide to come here unfortunately
Both bands had a huge following here and were both signed to CLJ Records back in the day. SuG toured here multiple times too and was often sold out. Alice nine were so busy changing their name, that they never made it back again after Jrock invasion in 2007.
Not sure how comparable the performance will be to the video considering how much they aimed the announcement at nostalgia. Would assume it’s mostly SuG covers?
THIS MADE ME CRY BECAUSE TAKERU IS MY HONMEI AND I’VE ALWAYS REALLY WANTED TO SEE HIM LIVE BUT THEY’RE COMING TO LONDON ONE WEEK AFTER I AM MOVING AWAY
I actually talked to the me-shop guy at the Nightmare gig and he said he’s doing it as a service and doesn’t actually make (more) money with the physical tickets. I appreciate that a lot!
Wow, what an unexpected duo! Never knew that they performed together before.
I was a huge fan back then but then stopped following them after their hiatus. The London show is pretty unexpensive so I just bought my tickets
Now I need to find videos of their more recent performances. It would be awesome if all the Alice Nine guys get together again though… What’s the news about their hiatus/activities?
I’ve already purchased a ticket. I asked the organizers in Spain, and they told me that the “VIP” pass can be upgraded later. They’re not available yet.
