Works without any problems with European phone numbers and credit cards.
Y-you have already purchased your ticket, right senpai?
>>46529112That's surprisingly expensive, I already got used to ~1500 yen price for Comiket and Comitia
>>46531678That was only for the fast passes. They are already sold out btw. It was a good idea to get up extra early to purchase one just after the sale started.
No other convention bros here?!
>>46534238Nigga do you really think anyone here goes to jap conventions
>>46534275Well, there usually are Comiket threads here.
Welp, I plan to create a new thread in three weeks. Maybe then more people will be interested.
>>46534238Remiflu honestly killed it and all other forms of long travel for me. Killed a lotta things for me actually, though thankfully not in the literal sense.
>>46539297Where did Corona-chan touch you?
>>46552860
>>46553063>people are more interested in a CD than in the event itself
>>46539084>>46556657Yes - generally people are only interested in keeping it bumped during Golden Week>>46534238>>46534275I've been to comiket and Reitaisai (in Taiwan), but visiting Japan from the states just for a doujin convention alone would be underwhelming - would have to make a proper trip for it.
>>46531542I'll be cosplaying like last year, see you Anons there.
>>46534238Went to both last year have to miss spring this year, lots of fun and going to miss it but gotta go cosplay in scandinavia for a bit
>>46566863>gotta go cosplay in scandinavia for a bitAre you going to cosplay as Spurdo?
>>46566596Are you the Parsee anon?
>>46569696Yup! How'd you guess? From last Autumn, I presume?For Reitaisai, if I can get the wig, shoes, and tail finished fast enough, I want to be Doremy. Parsee will be my fallback though.
>>46529112>Tokyo Big Sight>it's actually like 3rd floor or somethingwhat did they mean bythat
>>46569821Is the big sight even open during conventions at all? Or is it just the halls as always?>>46569732A-are you a cute femboy?
There will never be another /jp/ meetup.
>>46574977The combined meetups of /jp/, /a/ and /trv/ aren't that bad.
>>46572039Are you seriously that thirsty for human contact?
>>46575375When he is wearing a dress, he is a girl!
>>46556657Yeah some people like the stuff ZUN makes.
>>46575657Then they could also attend Reitaisai.
>>46568129No, cirno
>>46578597Nice. Nothing beats short dresses.
>>46578597No pantsu time?
>>46536970True, but only during Comiket. Not a month before it takes place.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvMKKz_BQU
>>46598457Nice. Is that part of the new Zun CD?
>>46599783I don't understand what you mean by that.

Make sure to buy some stickers when you are there:https://reitaisai.com/rts21/goods/They also offer an official wine brand.Thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87aH8SCnLOI
>>46610994>They also offer an official wine brand.>4500 Yen for a bottle of random wine with a Reimu drawing on it
Any new shit from EastNewSound, Alstroemeria and Shibayan?
>>46614764https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlhU9qd3lnE
>>46614781>more Bossa NovaAre you fucking shitting me, man.I want off this fucking ride.Where are the good ol' days of Kokoro Vibration and Magico Catastrofe...
>>46614792Lol, move with the times, boomer
>>46610994I will try to get one of those stylish towels.
>go to reitaisai>finish the day getting drunk at the comfy touhou bar with the cosplayer bartender and singing karaoke with the localsSecond year in a row going bros, I can't wait
I'm gonna be in Japan during this time but I'm not super into Touhou nor into waiting in line for a very long time.
>>46556657>>46569821>>46614624>>46614792>>46619357Who are you quoting>>46620400Then why are you even in this threadI hate tourists so much
Fuck yeah can't wait to have a good time in Japan!
Nothing from Mopata.....
>>46598457nice XFD
>>46620889>you are a tourist>you are speaking EnglishLol
Should I get a Welcome Suika card and keep recharging it if I want to explore around some?
>>46621015The only real limitation with a welcome suica is that you can't cash out any remaining balance on it and it only lasts 28 days. Other than that it's just as good as a normal suica. >>46582876Yeah gets hot as balls especially if lifting
>>46620889>Who are you quotingDo you even lift?
>>46621463I only lift cute imaginary mango girls. They don't weigh that much.
>>46619357I'll see you there anon
I'm going to Japan at this time but wtf would I go to this? Maybe I'll just walk around near the bay.
>>46623892You are posting on /jp/ which is overwhelmingly a Touhou board and you would not go to a Touhou event even though you are close to its location anyways?
>>46624073Well, I mean... Why? I can buy doujinshi and merch from here in the US. Unless there is some super unique thing there that will never get put online to buy, I can just walk around doujin shops hell, I don't have to even do that. Just buy on mandarake, suruga-ya, alicebooks, toranoana etc. I never even considered going to some convention. Stand in lines, pay money, for what? I could literally just get goody-japan proxy to do the footwork for me and I have. I played PCB a year after it came out and that got me into touhou and a few of its characters. I did conventions when I was a kid in the 80s/90s. Star Trek actually, but anyways, it seems like there is at least one or two people who are over this shit. This is me. >>46620904 and I just don't see why. I fuckin love Ran, Chen, Momiji and have followed this shit since like 2005 or 6 but at least I now know I am not alone when I say I'm not gonna get sucked into wasting a day in Tokyo.
>>46624630>for what?For the experience and the meet liked-minded people.It's similar to the difference between listening to a CD and going to a concert.
>>46624679>and the meet*and to meet
>>46624679Eh... that's a kids mentality. Look... go there and have fun or whatever but this stuff doesn't even deserve a thread here IMHO. I've spent more money on touhou related crap over the years I could get a brand new f-150 not even including the time. Enjoy their cash-grab if you want. Make Jun'ya richer I guess even though he has neglected and has been blowing off his fans for years. >>46624679Wtf listening to a CD is exponentially better than a concert. Just like being spoiled by having the best seat in the house watching football/sports in your home theater. You can see and hear tons better.
>>46624795Well, to each his own.I hope you will enjoy your vacation, just like I will enjoy mine.
>>46624953You as well, you are going to actually go do stuff in Japan since you are flying over there I assume right? You're not just going there for that are you? Share what you are going to get up to to make the trip worth it.
>>46625052This will be my 6th trip to Japan, so I have already seen most of the standard stuff. That is why I will do the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and some hiking tours. I also plan to fit in the obligatory onsen visit. In addition, I want to see how Japan is during Golden Week. I have already been there during Obon and the New Year's week. So far Golden Week is the only one of the three main holiday periods which caused me problems with booked-out hotels.
Where's the newest Sakuflan by Yassy ;_;
>>46625795In our hearts
>>46625569I'm coming in the very end of golden week by choice. I am hoping the crowds will be a little less, before summer vacation for families and just before rainy season. Had no problem with booking hotel room for that end weekend. The price was jacked up high but point redemption with my hotel was dirt cheap for some reason. Like 150 dollars was about ~40 dollars. Yeah, hot springs are great I always try to hike out to them and relax or at a developed one. Have fun.
Do you guys (male) usually shave your legs if you cosplay a character wearing a dress?
>>46630534Only if we plan to attend the gay orgy afterwards.
One day I will foster the courage and book a plane for ReitaisaiMaybe next year...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVv18W4iWNchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ethR0FfcqwNew minimum electric design album sounds great.
>>46636490Why not this time?
>>46638973Covid
>>46640214Do you currently have Covid or are you afraid of it?
>>46640338I just want to wait a few more years till it blows over. I've been inside since like February 2020 I think. They told us to stay home. They never said we should go outside yet.
>>46607357I was really confused by this because it's everyone except reimu and hisami, until I saw a comment from the creator saying that they're not included because they were the only characters who didn't get controlled by zanmu during the gamewhich is clever, I guess, but it does just mean I feel like I missed out on a reimu and hisami section of the medley
>>46607357>>46640550The guy just posted the XFD of the album the song is from. All TH19 arranges.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhhvbtObgNo [Embed]
>>46598457Sound Refil is selling 2 albums. This one is a TH19 arrange album.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ql46vX5vbFo
Huge ZUN-style album with 27 collaborators.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1FbY8z1FvU
>>46643150>>46643170>>46643195>fan music is better then most modern professional video game music
>>46534238I've got the standard ticket for it, and I also plan to go to 東方音歌宴 vol.4 (live event) afterwards. since I love toho eurobeat and I helped make some of the music for one of the performing circles, pretty hyped
>>46646514>東方音歌宴Sounds interesting. I just googled it, but only found information on last year's event. Do you have a link?I plan to attend Anison Matrix on May 4th, so I'm not sure if I would survive another party right before it.
>>46620961She's back :Dhttps://youtu.be/eNtiAegH5gA
>>46643195Oh cool. Some of these tracks are remixes.
>>46607357Nice medley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_Nmuezvs6MHEY HEY HEY COME ON OVER AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH CRAAAAAAAAAZY TENGU
>>46647352Y-you too
>>46646649the twitter for the events (and the announcement for this one) is here: https://twitter.com/touhouotoutage/status/1781657132917743838in case you dont wanna use twitter here's the livepocket ticket site for it https://t.livepocket.jp/e/kwshiits pretty close to big sight so idk depends if you have the energy after reitaisai ends
Noooooooooo!>Camera registration is required when taking pictures of cosplay and Itasha.>It is prohibited to take pictures without the permission of the subject or without the people around you knowing that you are taking pictures.https://reitaisai.com/rts21/notes/
>>46649495Thanks. Sounds quiet interesting.So Reitaisai ends at 15:30 + 1 hour to bring my stuff to my hotel room + 1/2 hour to go to Gotanda. Would be possible.Do you know when the event will end?
>>46649828Not sure. There's 6 performers so if each goes for 30 mins (about 5 songs and a speech) it'll finish at around 9pm, 3 hour sesh. But this is just a guess from other live events i've been to, where they end quite earlier than in the west.
>>46649926That's surprisingly humane. I will probably buy a ticket in advance and then will decide shortly before the event will start if I will actually attend it.It just crossed my mind that there might also be a /jp/ meetup after Reitaisai ended which would make the schedule a little bit busier.
>>46650039Just skip the orgy. You butt hole will appreciate it.
>>46649741>or without the people around you knowing that you are taking picturesI wish everywhere did this. Public execution for anybody who gets more than an inch of me in a picture that ends up online.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pzovHUCiNYEoSD OST arranged in the style of the PC98 games.It's not just 1:1 though, the songs have been arranged pretty heavily.
>>46649926Okay, I purchased a ticket. It's not that hard a decision with the current weakness of the Yen.Lol at the venue for still asking for covid contact information.
>>46653465nice. hope you'll enjoy it if you decide to go.i'll likely be easy to spot as a white dude in the sea of japanese music fans, if you want to cheer em on together.
>>46656590I may post here in case I will go.
>>46650911That's good to know.
>>46651859>arranged in the style of the PC98 games.Note really my taste.
>>46665504Okay.
What are the recommended clothes for Reitaisai? I just checked the weather report and it is supposed to be surprisingly warm on the day it will take place: 16-22° C and a 0% of rain.
>>46668684Anon, it's a convention. Just wear something comfortable, don't look stupid and bring your favourite Touhou clothing.
>>46669823He probably wants to be prepared in case he will meet a cute femboy.

>>46673033So much talent. Very sad that such people cannot make a living on their creations.
>>46649741This shit gets more corporate every year...
>>46675996Same as last year.
>>46676020I understand that you should ask cosplayers for permission, but without registration you are not even allowed to take photos of cars.
>>46676079Cars need their privacy too
>>46675996That rule has been standard not just at Reitaisai but at many Japanese events
>>46676929For reasons ...
>>46534238Cba. The third is a Friday, I'm working.
>>46621015Just use the machine to buy a commuter pass and you'll get a regular Suica instead if you plan to visit often or live here. I recommend buying a route like shibuya to your hotel since you'll travel it a lot.

I won't make this one guys...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOdXdh_xK2MNew COOL&CREATE with lots of guest arranges. Every song is Saishuu Kichiku Imouto.
>>46676079>me not caring and recording everything on my Google glasses "Oh these? Yeah, they are my prescription glasses.""Go ahead sir...">mfw
>>46651859this is very cute!!!!! very cool take on UN owen
>>46679629I have arrived
>>46673033Very nice, I'll have to get this
>>46651859This is very good, thanks for sharing
>>46649741Shit definitely broke this rule last year. Weird that I don't remember seeing any signs or anything saying that. I only took pictures of some of the cars and I'm a huge gaijin so they must not have bothered/cared.
>>46679657I saw USAO live at a tano*c concert almost two years ago now. Instantly became a huge fan. Guy absolutely demolished his set, blew the roof off the place.
>>46679751I'm sure nobody would notice
>>46673033Luna Rainbow arrange
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Y0ewm_bnwHifuu style album with mainly original songs and a few arranges.
>>46625569>>46628530At least the beginning of Golden Week isn't as bad as expected. Just like during Obon it is sufficient if you book shinkansen seat reservations 1-3 days in advance. The crowds at the train stations are similar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMGNuq0o_UQAnother original hifuu album.
>>46691299Noice
anyone also going to M3? do you know how big the crowds are at that one?it starts 10:30 tomorrow but should I arrive how long before so I can get in smoothly?
>>46693839I'm torn between Comic 1 and M3, they're held at the same time
>>46668684>16-22>warmlet me guess, canadian?
>>46695258At least I'm not Australian
>>46695458Hey, no bully plz!
>>46693839>>46694385Make sure to post some pics
>>46694385>Comic 1>https://t.livepocket.jp/e/comic1_24>2000 Yen just so you are allowed to take photosIt's getting ridiculous
>>46700320So ... got some pics?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmpfaT0tTqINew Zytokine.
>>46706665i took a picture of the queue but i refrained from taking images inside the venue... Theres just no cosplayers at M3 anyway so no point
>>46708085Surprisingly few cute twinks
>>46566596>>46569696>>46569732I think, assuming postage doesn't mess up the delivery of a crucial part at the less minute, I will be Doremy for Reitaisai! I'll be giving out candy, so if you see me feel free to say hi!
>>46708085>a bunch of Orientals
Why is this thread so full of cross boarders?
>>46709199>I'll be giving out candySounds like it is party van time.
