So, Nagoya's live was sold out in less than half an hour this morning. I don't know if anything like this has happened before with Schwarz Stein's lives?! I was lucky to get a ticket (even though it's a ticket with a crappy number), but I know people who weren't even able to get access to the eplus system until the tickets were already sold out. I guess I've been underestimating their popularity! OK, it might also have something to do with the fact that Nagoya's live is in a super small live-house, with a capacity of about 120 people (honestly, what were they thinking? for an anniversary live?!).

Oh yeah, I'm new to this forum, so よろしくどーぞ。I am going to all three lives and hopefully the in-store events too, so I may try to write something live-reportish, or at least share the highlights with you.

Welcome aboard :D
Looking forward to any live reports you (and the rest of our regulars) bring back!

Hi Lilith! (You know me, hohoho)
I think it's the first time they've sold out, since their comeback (not sure about back in the days). But if the capacity's only 120 people, then I guess it's not that strange.

Aloha there, Madmoiselle Silk! ::kiss::

As for the Nagoya live's tickets, they are already being sold at an auction for as much as 3 times their original price. It makes me sad and angry to think that many fans were unable to buy their tickets, while some people apparently bought the tickets only for re-selling them later at a higher price (some tickets were up at an auction just an hour after they were officially sold out). I had a serious moral dilemma whether I should report them or whether I should buy from them :P

Haha XD I agree though, but I never understood why people would do that,. Just like with chekis, it's just mean to everyone who doesn't even get a chance to buy any...
(talking about chekis, OMG, imagen the new chekis ::hora::)

Chekis!!! Take all my money! I'm ready to eat nothing but instant noodles until Christmas :P This little tour of theirs will get me bankrupt. Oh yeah, I also need a pair of fresh sneakers to have them signed by Hora (just kidding... or maybe not).

I'm not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but they are also doing an in-store event to coincide with the release of the best of albums -

http://schwarz-stein.jp/information/detail.php?id=26

2017年11月18日(土)13:00〜 ZEAL LINK大阪店
2017年11月19日(日)13:00〜 ZEAL LINK名古屋店
2017年11月26日(日)17:00〜 ZEAL LINK渋谷店

I was expecting the best of to be a 2xCD release, not two separate CDs, also at 15 songs each. I'm wondering if they even have enough music to fill those...

Anyway, I'll leave it to someone more versed in the Japanese language to provide further elucidation.

There is not much to elucidate really. All three in-store events have the same format: first there is talk and then an autograph session. You get 1 event ticket for buying 1 CD and you can have 1 item (of your own choosing) signed for this. Of course, you can buy more if you have more stuff that needs to be covered with Kaya and Hora's autographs :D

Honestly, I was a little bit disappointed that all three events have the same format, especially if you consider that about half of the audience (OK, a third) will be the same at each event. Still, I am planning to go to all of them, even though I would have preferred one of them to be a photoshoot event. It would also have given incentive for more people to buy more CD-s (see how this band is really not interested in money?).

But I am getting too greedy. Really, it's super that they have as much as 3 in-store events. And if any of you guys who can't be there has questions they want to ask Kaya/Hora, I am more than happy to translate them into Japanese and submit them at the event (that doesn't of course mean that all questions will be selected at the event, but it might still be worth a shot!).

Aaand.... there will be a long interview with Kaya and Hora!
No details yet about where or when it will appear though.

sweet. I just hope it's a publication that's easily accessible overseas - don't want to have to go bothering my friends again.

In other equally exciting news, Hora has updated his blog with a picture of a somewhat angry looking cat. Fuku-chan I think?

I don't mind being bothered, as I'm gonna have to get mine anyways.

I love it how he updates his blog once a month and then it's like one sentence :P

Chaotic Harmony have released a little bit of information regarding the best of release, most of it we know already.

Chaotic Harmony is excited to announce that we will be doing preorders for Schwarz Stein’s first best of albums! They will include songs from out of print albums New Vogue Children and Artificial Hallucination from their Midi:Nette period as well as re-recordings of songs from the time of Schwarz Stein’s rebirth, and there will long-awaited new songs on the CDs as well!

Közi (MALICE MIZER/ZIZ) will be doing guest arrangement on the albums.

There are two versions (LICHT and DUNKELHEIT) and each one will have a completely different 15 song-length track listing from the other.

They will both be available for preorder from Chaotic Harmony starting on Halloween and ending on the released day November 15th. All CDs ordered from Chaotic Harmony will come with a two-shot cheki of Kaya and Hora signed by the artists.

Stay tuned for more details!

Hmm... I wonder what are the songs (how many are the songs?!) that Közi has arranged. Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this. I mean, I like Közi! and most of his bands, and I trust his artistic sense, but still... I hope he doesn't change the songs too much.

Ohh, this forum has a silly Közi emoticon! ::kozi::
