^ For $145... ouch D: Not sure how low you're willing to go, but I have a friend that may be interested, so I'll keep an eye out.

Right now, I'm filled with 100% regret going GA (after screaming for a long time about how I coincidentally ate breakfast in the same room as Ebichu in Taiwan...).
If anyone has a VIP ticket for LA they want to get rid of, please hit me up!

Same room at the same time? And you didn't notice?

But then again thanks for those subs on A!O :)
Haven't seen you in a while

Think of a 2 hr show so I'm guessing around 10-15 songs plus MC

By the way, if anyone is looking for VIP for NYC let me know. My friend originally thought she could swing it, but she realized she is just getting back from Japan right before the concert so the timing is really bad for her.

Does anyone have a guess as to how long the set list will be?

Being their first time in America on their own i guess they will try to fit as many classic songs as they can, plus a huge chunk of Amaranthus/Hakkin' , so i hope it wont be shorter than 2, 2 1/2 hours

Plus MC's to show off their english skills (God am i so anxious to hear Kanako's "American jokes")

Im not really expecting other songs than their most representative/fan favourites like Chai Maxx, Moon Pride, Wani to Shampoo. But i hope Gorilla Punch and Ai wo tsugu Mono make it

Besides, who knows? The set list may be different on each stop. So you'll get different encores in Hawaii, L.A. to N.Y

Wait, what "American joke" did she made?

Okay? Why would that be considred an insult?

I don't understand it either.

It's not necessarily an insult, at least in this case. I said some might find it insulting - but obviously Kanako doesn't understand the implications of that so I don't personally take offense to it. (It's like when they put on Black face. They weren't trying to offend people, but obviously it did).

In general, Japanese people do not understand American humor. There are a lot of things like intonation, sarcasm, etc that are not prevalent in the Japanese language. Because of this, most American jokes don't translate very well, so the stereotype in Japan is that Americans are incredibly unfunny. Because of this, when Japanese people tell a joke and people don't laugh, they will follow up by saying "American Joke". Or many times "American Joke" is the punchline if the joke is intentionally bad. (The main idea is that Americans aren't funny, so unfunny jokes are labeled as American Jokes). I'm assuming Kanako isn't fully aware of all of that, and said it simply because she was in America. Kanako was saying she was sailor moon jokingly, the other members did not laugh, so she said "American Joke".

But I don't even think most of the crowd even understand the concept of "American Joke" anyway. I understood, but I think most of the audience was scratching their heads, because it was completely silent during that talking segment.
