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.

Recommendations for next Christmas?

While its somewhat fresh in your mind, what gifts came into your house this Christmas and / or New Year, that you thought were really nice things to receive and / or really good buys, that you think might make a good present for someone else in the future? As you might see in the product reviews, I am going through some of the things I bought for the kids this year and thinking of what I was really happy with. And already thinking of next year!

Under the radar winter festivals

There are some winter festivals that get a lot of hype, like the Sapporo Snow Festival, for instance. However, as someone who doesn't like crowds, I enjoy lower-key festivals a whole lot more. Do you have any favorite winter festivals that aren't really tourist-trappy? What makes them fun or unique?

Growing Mushrooms

Here's for a weird hobby. I just saw a video by an American Youtuber that I plan to watch about growing shiitake mushrooms. From what I've seen, it probably needs a bit of space. There was a local market in Fukuoka Prefecture that had a "mushroom room" where they grew and sold mushrooms like maitake and eringi. I also saw a video of a couple in Paris that built a mushroom growing shower room! The local hardware store sells "seeded" logs and shiitake mushroom growing kits. I have seen the logs around people's homes on occasion. It seems like a very odd, but sustainable hobby. Has anyone tried it, or is anyone interested to try this? I wonder how involved or beginner friendly it is.

How do you feel about nuclear power?

This week, the mayor of Niigata officially approved the restarting of a nuclear power plant in Kashiwazaki. My home country doesn't use nuclear power, so it makes me a bit uneasy. How do you feel about it? Would you be comfortable with a nuclear power plant operating in your prefecture?
