At least you get to be in Japan for the first three places of the Utada United tour Q. You'll at least get a chance to see those. It's great, I didn't expect her to come out with an album with her songs. That so rocks. I won't get to see her tour in Japan, but still the album Ultra blue sounds cool, ultra blue cool.

So ... I should be in Japan this summer... but only for the earlier part of the summer...
So she will be in only 3 cities when im there... and they are kinda not near where ill be staying ... and id be leaving just before the Osaka dates...

Hmm ... I wonder if anyone can help me find tickets?...


and garr.. so much money too ... rail passes are expensive too...

Oh man I'd love love love to go, but the flight is so expensive. If only I could find a way around it... (any suggestions??)

Ok, so tickets are available on 5/28. Now, how do we get get them? Does anyone know a good shoping service that might be able to help buy tickets? I know of two my self.

Celga Inc - but I don't know if they'll purchase tickets direct, they will bid and ship things from yahoo auctions Japan though.

Cresent Shop - Though I've heard not as good as Celga, they supposedly will buy tickets direct sometimes.

I've never tried either but I thought I'd share and see if anyone else was trying to find ways or knew of ways to buy tickets.

I don't really have the money, but if I can get a ticket for a concert I may just go anyhow.

Anyone have a friend in Japan who'd be willing to help some crazy Hikki fans out? ^.~

HOLY CRAP!! :PXIchyg'woelrntflD4290Y64I65=-[WETLG;S/.M/KVNLZJA;WOIJALKJi;oweuW4EJ;Lj;JHSGFIUE5Y6T4P9756Y1::SEIZURE::SEIZURE::

omg, I might have gone a little overboard, but my excitement is not conveyable over the internet. And wow, she is including every song since Colors? I'm surprised! And a little sad, because thats already half of the album I've heard... but those songs are so super anyway, I don't mind!

ohoashdoammmannamna/!! So her album actually is scheduled for a release in the first half of the year!! Bwahahahhaa

So, here goes WHooO~
