The Bonkurasu Brigade

Aside from the spelling error, the short snippet shows how the last leg of Perfume’s ⊿ tour at Yokohama Arena went. Yes, it’s very much like the one I went at Sapporo, although the only difference was the size.

Here’s an excerpt from the latest post:

Their next live performance announced will be for the Act Against AIDS 2009 benefit concert at the Nippon Budokan on December 1st. This will be their 2nd time joining the AAA “The Variety” concert.

As for releases, their just finished 2009 Tour will be released on DVD will be out on January 13th, 2010! If it seems a bit too long of a wait, don’t fret for the 10/15 Yokohama Arena venue of the tour will be broadcasted on MUSIC ON! TV after X’mas (12/26 ).

I can’t wait for both the broadcast version and the actual DVD. Mmmm more Perfume goodness. That said, I’m still a sucker and pre-ordered my Perfume Livefolio at the local Kinokuniya a week back. D’oh.

And it looks like the “I LOVE ANISONG” page has been updated!

Ticketing information has been released, providing much relief to many fans eager to get their hands on it, since they want to avoid disappointment due to the scarcity of the tickets as projected last year.

The following is a guide on how to purchase your tickets:

Ume here, writing from Shinjuku. This post will be terribly delayed because the internet doesn’t work at the hotel I’m staying in, but in any case I’ll be typing this report while everything is still fresh in my head.

It’s the Golden Ticket!

Pictures and concert impressions after the jump!

…for the lack of a better title.

Come this Friday, or otherwise 21st of August, I’ll be flying off to Japan to attend Animelo 2009. And Perfume’s Sapporo Citizens’ Hall Live.

Take a Night Flight! Yes, my flight’s at night, 10+pm. I have my stash of pino still in the fridge too.

Funny, that only up till now that I have a chance to travel overseas to Japan, considering that I’ve been involved with everything anime-related, or in short, Japan pop culture; from the humble beginnings on watching anime on TV back when I was in Primary School, then branched onto Gunpla and anime on VCDs, and liking L`arc~en~Ciel on a surface level. After which everything expanded when I started cosplay, touching a bit on J-rock, doujin, and arcade gaming communities as well. I dabbled on pretty much on many areas.

I’d always be envious on those who can afford to spend thousands on multiple trips to Japan back then, and in some sense, jealous. But as I grew older, I felt the need to travel abroad lesser, because it’s an unwanted expense; I can pretty much get the same thing locally for roughly the same price, except for live events and concerts and fanclub-only events…. you get the drift.
