Given that the band and others with them will post photos online, and there were paid photographers also, there will be really good photos available for everyone in the future. So yeah, beyond the artists having some say so in the matter of their images, why annoy other concert goers with a sea of lit up phones held up in the air? We paid money to see the band, not that.Boy, some overseas fans get pretty salty online... at least on Moitie's tweets regarding the no-photos-during-the-show-plz policy. Like, yeah, I get the frustration, as someone who also had to miss out and not have any fan-photos to look forward to, but I'm not gonna get my bloomers in a wad and bitch about the (collective) "Japanese people" on somebody's official twitter/website over their concert/event policies -- just respect their requests and culture; don't be the ugly American/foreigner -- and respect basic concert etiquette (Tbh, there are parts at a show where I can't stand my view to be obstructed by thousands of phones and tablets - real mood-killer! And I know many concert-goers who feel the same way) . Yes, a DVD would be fantastic, but nagging about it constantly just makes you sound like an overgrown, spoilt child.
Feel free to delete this post, it's just something I felt I had to get off my chest. I'm happy for those of you who went and had a blast - if any of you got photos (at the appropriate times) I would love to see them. If you sneaks got any during the show (tsk, tsk) I won't object to a private viewing. ;3
Of course, it didn't help that someone who did take a photo in the venue of the stage, when they weren't suppose to, posted it as a response to one of Mana's tweets.
