Assorted Questions/Inquiries About H!P, etc

[forgetmenots]

Thank you so much guys.

^Yeah YA doesn't accept foreign credit cards (and getting a Japanese one is pretty much impossible for a foreigner newly come whose visa just says 1 year), the bank I'm set up with can't do bank transfers for it, and they don't have Pay on Delivery or Pay at Convinience Store like Amazon does. I'll check around to see if I can find a resale place in Osaka, I doubt there will be any at the venue itself since the tickets were pretty much sold out on becoming public (They'd only been on sale for half a day, max, when I attempted to buy them at a Conbini and the machine told me there were none left ).

I might have to forgo Evolution, which would suck, but I'm way luckier than most right now so I can't complain too much. I'm joining the Fanclub though now for the early access, this has given me too many headaches...

If you can't find a ticket resale shop, you can bid on YAJ through a Japan-based proxy service. The one I've used several times for concert tickets is Juno's Bidservice, and they've always done a great job. It's more expensive than bidding on YAJ directly, of course, but it's a viable option.

Somebody on WiT claimed that Maachan is basically banned from making solo appearances because she cray. Is this really true, or were they kidding around?

[Sohee]

Eh, I wouldn't say banned. She did say at some point in respond to... whoever it was though, that she's asked not to talk so much because they never know where she's going and/or what she'll say.
But that was last year, I think around Wagamama, and we've all seen that she's matured a lot since in terms of talking and all so. Probably just a matter of time before she'll be talking more on TV.

The only account I've seen was from that article with Duu in Top Yell(?) where she said they try to control her a bit.

I've never seen anything that says she was specifically banned, just sounds like a bit of chinese whispers tbh.

Especially at the last part:

Where have you magically seen Zukki getting all this media attention you claim she has??? Everytime the group is on tv the camera never cuts to her and she is usually off screen or angled behind a member so u cant see her

like this obviously isnt true

i won't believe any of their crap. thats my unpopular opinion.

its like another confession blog.

[Chibs]

Well she does have a habit of saying things, like Duu was les or something about Riho. It was the whole premise of Guest Maachan, that she wasn't the host. Basically someone needs to translate and keep her from saying NG stuff. And like Sohee said she is matured a lot so if it is true it won't be permanent.

[Sohee]

It is true that she said that she has been asked to not talk on TV. She said it ON TV
But like I said, that was last year or so, so it doesn't matter much. Girl is just 15, she'll keep in maturing for another 10 years or so.

Can someone tell me the quality of the blu-ray releases of the old concerts. Is it just an upscale? I'm specifically wondering about the NON STOP! blu-ray

[KeriChan12]

^I just bought all of them from Japan, so I could check for you. Which Non stop DVD is it? 15 nin de or the one before that?
