I realize I might be barking up the wrong tree, seeing that most of the members here don't live in Japan, but... anyone know any other avenues for getting tickets? A friend and I entered the lottery but we were unsuccessful.

Buying event tickets on the secondary market in Japan is difficult to say the least, and is generally frowned upon and will soon be illegal (as of June 8th of this year).

Fingers crossed!

That's the same event. Can the mods merge these 2 threads?

At this point the secondary markets you're only option.
The first and second lotteries have finished and there aren't anymore performances.

Otherwise try to get a part time job working the venue? lol

Heres a ticket site.  Its one that I used and the proxy I used also sent me a link to it.  Good luck getting tickets. 

[kazuo]

Wow, thank you! Will give that a try. Kind of rolling the dice because they can refuse entry/kick you out if they think or can prove you bought scalped tickets, but whatever!

Are they intentionally omitting Sharon or what?

Wasn't every one of Sharon's tracks by a different performer?  That'd make it rather difficult/expensive.

I hope the moderators can merge this thread with the previous thread.

Seto is probably right about the different performers doing Sharon. I also think the type of songs that Sharon "sings" might not fit in with the general tone of the other more traditional pop or rock performers.

 

[isamu]

Well without Yoko Kanno or Akino Arai being there, there is no Sharon Apple.

[nanoplasm]

Welp ran into Egan Loo and some of the MWF podcast/SDC crew at Kawamori Expo.

Also saw them at the halls of the LIVE.

Everything was great (surprise guests, meshup) except for the weird Macross 7 remix, which was literally putting people to sleep (Sharon Apple was there after all).

[nathans82]

Hopefully they make the concert on Bluray this time.

Or they could have made Minori Suzuki sing Voices and Junna Information High. Would anyone complain?

[isamu]

Sounds like it was a killer event! Wish I could have been there Maybe the next big concert.

[juice14]

Sorry to dredge up this old thread.... but has there been any bluray release? I can't seem to find much info.....

[kazuo]

It seems like these are rarely released for purchase. Unfortunate. I was there and would love to relive this someday.

At least you got to go. Can you tell us who all performed? Was Hiroko kasahara(Ishtar) there? What about Akino Arai or Yoko kono?

[kazuo]

I went for Day 2. Here's the setlist: https://web.archive.org/web/20190628172046/https://aniuta.co.jp/contents/247250

The setlist was not announced in advance that I know of, but nobody expected Day 1 to be much different from Day 2. Yes, Kasahara was there and did "Love you again" from Macross II. Akino Arai and Yoko Kanno did not perform (sadly). I don't recall if they stopped in to say hi. I think Yoko Kanno MAYBE did? It was a couple years ago and I was extremely tired at the time (I literally arrived two hours before the concert started and I missed Ai Ijima's entire set because there was a delay at immigration control). Some of the details are fuzzy. Even though I wanted to see Ijima, I was honestly most excited about Fire Bomber (despite really not being a fan of 7 at all) and Sheryl (May'n). I got what I wanted, it was totally worth it lol. I even enjoyed Walkure even though I couldn't care less about Delta.

 

The stupid part is, there has to be a recording because they simulcast it in theaters... I wish they'd just let us buy it already.

Wow thanks for the detailed impressions man. I'm glad you had a good time.

You're right, they should just release it on Blu-ray already. Not sure what the hesitation could be. On another note, won't macross be turning 40 in about three years or so? If so, perhaps they will have a 40th anniversary concert in 2024 or something. What do you think the odds are?

I honestly couldn't even speculate on why they won't release the Blu-rays for all of these concerts. Japanese companies do so many things that make little to no sense.

Regarding the 40th, they will absolutely have a concert. You should plan to make the trip if you can. I wanted to go to the Frontier concert that is finally happening soon, but I can't for obvious reasons.
