First time I've been looking into getting concert tickets since I'm planning a trip to Japan soon, is there really no way around the Japanese phone requirement issue? From what I've seen stuff like the eplus app require you to use a working mobile number to sign up, and possibly need to keep it working until the live date, right?
>>49891702It depends on the show and the platform that you are buying the tickets on (some events will use multiple platforms). I saw a concert last year that used Eplus, but I could pick up my ticket at 711 when I arrived in Japan, so it was no big deal. I did need to use a long term Japanese phone number to register, but I was able to pay using overseas credit card. Some shows are now moving to electronic tickets only, and I'm not sure how that works per each platform. For example, I believe many electronic tickets can be transferred between devices with a link, but some electronic tickets can only work on the specific device that the phone is registered to. Pretty sure when I used an e-ticket in Japan a few years ago it was just a barcode from a link that hit my email. Basically, on eplus, if it is not an e-ticket, you just need the Japanese number to register. If it is an e-ticket, I'm not sure how it will work. You would likely need the device to be safe. I've read on other threads that some people have used Mobal to get a SIM card for a long term japanese phone number where they will actually mail it internationally. I can't speak to this personally, so you can research it on your own.
>>49891762>I did need to use a long term Japanese phone number to registerHmm that's the part I'm a bit hung up on, even if I can get a Japanese esim wouldn't I need to be actually inside the country for it to work and receive whatever SMS confimation code (I'm assuming) is needed?
>>49891702It really depends. If it's listed on eplus or pia, without a Japanese number you're out of luck, unless artists list them on international versions eventually. Lawson is also not an option. In my personal experience, I went to Nanawo Akari's live last year without a sim. She used a Sony Music's website which asked for a Japanese phone but didn't actually verify it. She now uses a fanclub system for tickets, but I assume there's no verficiation again. Some sites don’t require a Japanese number at all, like Livepocket. Speaking about artists regularly posted here, Shiyui did a live in Tokyo last year and sold tickets through the English version of Rakuten. ako sold tickets on international eplus for her last tour. For smaller bands, you can just DM them or their manager and ask nicely. There's also a chance you can get same-day tickets. In short, you either hope they have a sizeable foreign audience and are nice enough to list tickets on international websites, use a non-mainstream ticketing system, or get a Japanese friend/proxy to buy you tickets and hope it's not electronic ones.
>>49891814No, you can get a Japanese esim and use it from your home country.
>>49891814>>49892141I said ESIM but Mobal may be SIM only.

>>49894434https://www.youtube.com/live/soI8zfky3mYcant say all of the songs are to my tastes but she had fun and it didnt feel forced at all so it was pretty good overall.
https://x.com/wb_log/status/1946193249238184191Why are they having a live after releasing just 2 songs? At least it's "free".
>>49895270I knew who you were talking about before i checked the link. But I think they must have at least a dozen songs if they're gonna do a live show like this. Probably just unreleased, but I take it as a good sign rather than a bad.
>>49885809After listening to it for 2 days, I feel like all new songs are decent but probably nothing particularly noteworthy unless you're a big fan. I like Step In The Dark and Doyattatte the most. POI POI POI is a fun one but way too short, it'd be great if it was a minute longer.
>>49891498Man, I was never really into Luz so the announcement only shocked me a bit but reading all the stuff other utaites who knew him are posting is making me depressed now

>>49899459Love this one, goated producer and 9Lana's vocals are great as always
>>49853489She came up on my algo again and I'm thoroughly impressed.Mugensho found a gem.
Apparently Yuka Nagase is going to have a live with JYOCHO. If only I could be there...
>>49903771Actually, I started listening to JYOCHO after this announcement. I had never heard of them, but they're awesome. Very unique sound too, with the flute.
>>49903785If you like JYOCHO, then 宇宙コンビニ might also be up your alley. Probably my only chance to shill Daijiro Nakagawa and his crazy stuff on this thread. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWqua6rsEmw I love this fuckin guy
>>49903878This was nice, thanks. >Disbanded 2015Ah well, I'll still go through their old stuff. >Only chance to shillThere's always the regular music thread for when you think something is truly irrelevant. I usually have that one open too.

>>49915904That she'll probably won't do another world tour next year
>>49913088>>49915723I am so glad I went to the second show on a whim. I enjoyed the first one so much I just bought a flight 4 hours away for the second one I went to. I felt wanting more after the first one but the second left me plenty satisfied.>>49917050Wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't do another one for a while. This one seemed grueling.

More under the hashtag, seems like anon was right.https://x.com/miki_mickey0213/status/1960303731905278051
>>49913088Concert experiences have been so surreal these past few years since I've actually started leaving my house again, soon it will already have been a year since the presale even happened. 6-7 months of waiting for it to all be over in 2-3 days will always suck. >>49917402>Dome tour within 2-3 monthsyeahhhh I don't know if she's stopping anytime soon even heard rumors about plans as early as 2026-2027, i hope her ambition doesn't burn her alive
>>49920854Yeah, it makes sense. You're not going to do a show with only two songs, and you have demos and other things that are ready to be played live but not necessarily released as full fleshed studio recordings. Yuka was there too, could have seen her!

YouTube music weekend starts tomorrow (approximately 32 hours from this post.) I'll post the timetable again. There is no requirement that an artist keep their YouTube Music Weekend video submission as public, so if you really like something, you may want to archive it yourself. This is mostly in regards to live performances, as song submissions usually sit untouched.
The full playlist for YTMW 10.0 has been shared and it is available here. A few videos still show as private, which will be made public for the premier. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQntWbrycbJfBxlFizwmPOa1S_2d8dKaP

>>49931105I'll be watching during the day my time. I am most looking forward to CDs, Sasuke Haraguchi (trio set), Yuka (they are showing concert footage for a concert that was never streamed), and I'm hoping Narumiya does something similar to last year. Some uploads, like kmnz, are for concerts that I've already watched, so its easy to disregard them.
Wow! Yuka's first anisong and it's produced by Meiyo. Looks like its for some isekaislop starting in October. https://youtu.be/bdEWrmyDw0w

Which YTMW is a must-watch?
>>49932430It will take me days to go through this (day one is still live), but I will post recommendations when I have them. I've only just started the playlist, and I'm still at the towards the top only at Neko Hacker. And I'm skipping ones like KMNZ where I have already watched the full concerts. Speaking of KMNZ, Neko Hacker used his Liz song as part of his YTMW video.

>>49932230This one slipped under my radar with all the new releases recently but yeah I like it, it's just the kind of song that always suits Sou too
First time listening to muque, I didn't expect them to be that good.
>>49931786>some isekaislop starting in October.i've read this before and its absolutely dogshit. nothing good about the sotry or the characters. the artstyle was also very generic.i guess yuka got the shit treatment in that department.
I feel that Yuri has put herself in a horrible position by having every single one of her songs produced by Sasuke Haraguchi. I've made it no secret that I am a fan of Sasuke, but it's not working for me in this format. It's just trite for me now.
Usually hate obsessing over song viewcounts but wow, just went to relisten to 9Lana's Propose cover after a few months and it's suddenly at 20m views? Really glad to see her blowing up more, always felt she was criminally underrated
9Lana's ytm is just a preview of the anime she's gonna sing to but i cant tell if she's been included as a VA or not. Her acoustic balalaika cover was also pretty weird to listen to, felt almost like a mariachi.>>49942568My favorite propose cover frfr, i dont this she's underrated anymore since she got that anime contract but as usual, few get really popular outside of japan.
