Thanks so much for the tag!
And thanks to everyone for the thread, it seems to be very useful for first-time concert goers.
A question/answer that I didn't see come up (unless I wasn't looking hard enough); but as someone who hasn't gone to a live yet, what should I wear???
Or what should I NOT wear might be easier to answer lol. Is there a difference in what people wear at a GazettE concert versus like a smaller VK band concert?
I've lived in Japan for a while so I'm already self-conscious about looking too out of place. Well when you're a foreigner I guess you're going to look out of place no matter what but I kind of blend in (at least from the back and sides, anyway) since I'm like 150cm/under 5 feet tall and of Asian descent lol. Around the city center where Harajuku and Shibuya is, the youth dress a LOT differently than they do out in the suburbs and I've never been to a concert before so I have absolutely no idea what to expect when I get to the venue.
Can I just wear whatever I want like jeans, shirt, jacket, shoes, makeup however I want? What if I just got out of work and I'm wearing my office clothes lol. Or are the majority of people there going to have gone all out and dressed up? I'm not interested in "cosplaying" or anything like that,
Also for bags...is there a limit on the size of bag, and what if your bag has something like huge studs or spikes or pointy ends? Do they even check what's inside your bag to see if you brought drinks like water bottles lol.
Sorry for all the questions, I'm kind of a wordy person lol but I sincerely appreciate if anyone can help answer some of them ><
