Any one ever been? I sure hope all the band members' family get to go with, what a cool summer vacation that would be! My daughter really wants to go there, being into anime as much as she is.
I have a Live in Germany dvd and a Live in London dvd, How 'bout it Rebel Waltz dudes or whoever does that sort of thing, how 'bout a Live in Japan dvd. That would really hold us over til the new album comes out!!!!!

They're playing a festival there, which means 30-45 minute sets, so I would assume that it wouldn't be worth filming. As far as the families going, at least for me, flying that far for 2 days was sooo not worth the expense of the flight. I opted out for a week in the pacific northwest instead. It was a grand vacation indeed ... got to see my girls, my brother and lots of great antique shopping. Needless to say the crew guys are not so happy with my shopping endeavors :-).

Japan is my favorite foreign country that I have ever been to. I studied Japanese for 3 years in high school and spent the summer of 1987 in Tokyo as an exchange student. I also was stationed there for 1 year while in the Marines. I would love to go back sometime.

Geekgirl has the right idea though. I was raised in the Pacific Northwest and I still consider SEattle my home. I cant wait to visit again all my old friends up there.

I grew up in the California Bay area, all my family is there, So any Pacific coast vacation sounds nice to me! About shopping-- I did not even buy a t-shirt at the concert, what is wrong with me? Hopefully someday I'll move back to CA, and get over to Japan!

Well i grew up in kobe, which is in the province of "Kansai". I lived there the first ten years of my life next to one of japans biggest yakuza"gangs" bosses.

I used to be scared of them, but after the 95 earthwauke there, they handed out blankets and let us use there kitchens and showers...

lets see...me and my mom moved here after our dad left us...
