Concert tickets?

Any tips on the where and how to of buying concert tickets? My eldest daughter really wants to go see Mrs Green Apple live at some point and I've never actually been to a concert here - well not that type of concert. And the only concerts I've looked up before are for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, because I knew exactly where and when that concert was going to be (ended up not buying, long story!) and that was a long time ago.

Just following up on this, I had a look at the Mrs Green Apple site: https://mrsgreenapple.com/schedule/list/2024/10/?cat=L_ALL,live02,live03,live04,live06,live05,live08 They are playing some live shows in October at K-Arena in Yokohama. There is a contact listed (SOGO TOKYO 03-3405-9999) so maybe they can provide some info about how to get tickets on that number!

I always have just bought through Lawson, but the last concert I went to was a while ago. @yokolostinjapan goes to a lot of concerts and might be able to help, I don't know how frequently she blogs on here any more so I don't know if she will see this notification though!

It is kinda different for every band so you have to check their website on how they sell their tickets. Some sell only online, some you can get at the convenience store, some are lottery and some a first-come-first-serve.

https://mrsgreenapple.com/news/detail/20726 I checked the Mrs. Green apple site and here is the information about their recent ticket sales. It seems there is a lottery ongoing until today.

Summer Festival Changes - Yay or Nay?

Earlier I wrote about how my neighborhood's "summer" festival has been moved to autumn. I also wrote a separate post about a summer festival in Kasukabe that has been moved indoors. I know there is a bittersweetness about these changes, but some would argue that something needs to change in the face of rising temperatures. So, I am curious, what would you vote for: 1) Leaving Summer Festivals exactly as they are - same date, same set up etc. 2) Shifting the time of day the festival is on, say for example, from afternoon until after dark 3) Moving the festival from summer to another season or at least to earlier in summer, such as June 4) Moving summer festivals indoors - not really possible for the larger festivals especially those with large floats etc. but maybe they could shift some elements indoors

Favorite Noodles

Chilled noodles because it's summer, hot noodles are also accepted. Is it somen or chukasoba or zarusoba? Reimyun or pasta salad? Chanpon or udon or ramen? Pad Thai or Pho?! This year I made somen for the first time! I'm a soba fan. I used to love ramen and tsukemen but for some reason I'm not as into the rich and oily noodles anymore.

What are the pros and cons of Japanese Citizenship for you?

Most of the people I know here are foreign residents, have foreign family members, or have foreign coworkers, friends or employees. A handful of those have become Japanese citizens. We've been chatting about things like ethnic identity and Japanese citizenship. I don't plan to become a citizen, but it made me wonder, what are the pros and cons for changing your citizenship? Is it something you've given any thought to? (What might make you consider it?)

Which movie will you see this summer?

I am not a movie-goer at all, but every year I bring the kids to see a film (and they often go with their friends too) during the summer holidays. There seems to be a good choice this year, including Toy Story 5, the Chiikawa movie, the real live action adaption of Moana and the usual annual Crayon Shinchan movie among others. Which movie are you planning to see this summer? Or have you already been to see one (or more)? If so, which one?

Movie locations near you worth visiting?

The live action version of テルマエ・ロマエ Thermae Romae (2012) was shot at Nokogiriyama, Kyonan Town, Chiba Prefecture. It's one of my favourite getaways for hiking, the temple complex, and catching sea breezes. The movie is hilarious and heartwarming. Which Japanese live-action movies do you recommend, and are the filming locations worth a visit? Tell us the original title, English title, the year, and the location.

What are our consumer rights in Japan?

Do you know your consumer rights in Japan? And if so, would you be willing to share anything about them? For example, what is the policy on returns? I am very familiar with my consumer rights in my home country, and they are very widely publicized back home, but information doesn't seem to be as transparent or readily available here. Or is that just me?
