[picture text: pre-request advanced lottery: 9/10 6pm ~ 9/15 11.59pm]

x For the 12/14 show at Misato city's culture hall they won't do advanced acceptance because FC members have priority there (I'm not entirely sure whether that means it's completely FC-only)



A sequel that is only to be found with Gackt, who is constantly challenging surprises

The tour [Requiem et Reminiscence~saisei to kaikou (Rebirth and Chance Meeting)], starting from 12/14 (Sunday), will be Gackt's full-blown for the first time in about three years (but there was a fanclub-only tour in '06). Furthermore, it will be Gackt's historical greatest number of performances. The realization of the concerts has been anticipated and finally, he will have performances at various places nation-wide, therefore there are probably many fans whose hearts dance with anticipation.
From the tour title it can be understood and you can imagine that this time there's a sequel-like concept of the correspondent tour held in '01. However, Gackt always challenges surprises and whether or not you easily have an imagination of such a concept, unless you personally experience a concert you cannot comprehend it, but because the DVD [Requiem et Reminiscence~shuuen to seijaku~tokubetsu hen (demise and silence~special compilation)] of the '01 tour final performance was released, we want to recommend watching it and attending the concert. However, even if you won't watch it, we assure you that certainly you'll receive an impact that will overturn the image of a concert.

Rain on the stage, horses... The unbelievable production, what will it be this time?

Well, let's get in touch with the originality that became the core of Gackt's concerts which were highly assessed until now. His concerts are going right to the point and are "legends". If we take his '01 [Requiem~] for example, at the opening a work of art we have to call short film was projected on a screen toppled over the stage. Gackt as the protagonist receiving android surgery was a shocking matter. The concert, which began while the audience was in mute amazement, was split into four parts, each with a change of costumes a conceptial outlook on the world. In the following tours there were genuine dances and of course, rainfalling on stage, and in Tokyo Dome he dashed around on a real horse, even showing "impossible" productions, but these were all means to visually portray the legend that forms the basis to make it easy to understand.
What ways of freshly presenting the not yet completed legend of [Requiem et Reminiscence] will he use and how will the constructed world be? What deep emotions will he cause this time? Before rushing into the tour, on 10/15 (Wednesday), a boxset of seven tour concerts from his tours between '00 and '06 will be released (special DVD included). Even though you will be satisfied by the world of his concerts drawn from the sounds, starting in December he wants to furnish an enjoyable world.

Furthermore, the new song Justified will be on DVD of nine*nine!
I didn't translate the rest because there's nothing new in there.
Oh and at a couple of locations there are seats as well as standing tickets I think, but I'm not entirely sure.

yes, the 12/14 show is a FC only live.

thanks for sharing all of this info! ^^ it must have been difficult to translate. @.@

Thank you so much for posting, sharing, and (most importantly) translating all of this. It was quite nice to read, very informative, and I look forward to hearing more on this concert! ^^

Thanks for putting an English translation up. This is a glimpse of something entirely new for me - ha, I want to go to one of the concerts very much but I know so little! So, don't the venues normally have seats?? In Hong Kong, the seating is really strict so that fans can't over crowd the near-stage areas. In China, there are even police with sticks to wave you back down if you stand up! And in Japan? Just standing tickets like old-fashioned soccer matches? Strange!

[akogare.livejournal.com]

Ah no, normally all bigger venues have seats and only smaller live houses have standing tickets. I don't know whether the seating is very strict as in, they'd force you to go back, but basically you're required to stay in front of your seat.
It just seams that in some locations there will be seats as well as standing tickets.

Oh, thanks for more info so quickly. I'm trying for any of the Kyushu venues (the dates are office convenient - and it looks interesting!) but really have no idea whether the venues are out of town or have seats or anything. Just determined to try to get to one concert!

Maybe that (standing) explains why the tickets are a single price (all the concerts I've attended previously have had a higher price on the nearer seats).

[akogare.livejournal.com]

The venues should easily be accessible by train or bus, Japanese are usually very good about such things :) Once you decided on the venue I might be able to help you find out some info.

For concerts in Japan, usually all tickets have the same price, except when there are premium seats like Gackt did this time, and luck and how early you order your tickets will decide where your seats are (except fanclub members usually get the better tickets).

Thanks very much for the offer - that's really kind. Yes, of course I have a guidebook but it's for real tourists (tells you about the interesting museums - nothing about the concert halls!).

Cos I don't read any Japanese and am kind of dumb about all this (like you saw, I'm quick to misunderstand!), I've asked the Japan service advertized here (i-tm4u) for help with the tickets. I've asked them to look for any ordinary Dears tickets for Kyushu on the internet: if I wait till the public sales start (not till 11th Jan), it will be too late for me to book the time out from the office. Sigh. It all seems quite complicated - but it will be so worth it if I can go to a concert and support Gackt in a live performance!

Thanks for your interest and offer of help. I do - always! - need help.
