I saw they ended up not playing KiLLiNG ME but like... still wish I coulda gone.  No Merch either from what I saw Mah post. Like bless you Knotfest for bringing bands but like... merch seems to be an issue with this specific music festival. LOL I don't even know if HNIB even knew they had shirts there or not. They were kinda like we might have merch somewhere idk. Before we found the table I was under the impression they didn't have any merch at all because they didn't have their own table or anything. But if I'm being honest... HNIB looked like they were like wow vacation to AMERICA? oh wait let's play a few songs real quick BYE EVERYONE. Sorry this turned completely off topic... I HOPE SIM DID GREAT HERE FOR THEIR FIRST SHOW AND WERE SMARTER THAN HNIB AND LIKE TALKED WITH OTHER BANDS OR SOMETHING. 

Yeah, I think they have a crew that is dealing with it for them so they barely hear about it unless they go to see what's going on (which probably TM is doing for them) but I saw Mah post about no merch too so I wonder what's up with Knotfest. Maybe whoever on the Knotfest Japan side is underestimating shipping times/custom times... Unless they have a merch company on this side who is failing, but then idg the shipping issue. :/ 

SiM looked like they were in a rush to get out and explore after the show so I get the feeling they don't have a lot of time to spend here, maybe the same for HNIB. Won't be surprised if they have the same crew handling them. But Mah acts like he really wants to come back (I assume its the same for the others).  But if MWAM has been doing this a few times, you would think they would work with the same people and get things together for all the Japanese acts? :/ Strange. I hope they get to come back soon tho. I'm seeing a lot of people begging for an east coast show on social media so maybe they'll get over here.  

Yeah, but HNIB was here for like... a little under a week.. I know going to another country that's not a lot of time in general... but I do think it would be wise to dedicate the rest of the day to checking out other bands who are playing the same festival... IDK. THAT'S WHERE CROSSFAITH WAS SMART. Because bands that already have a strong following will be curious "Who are these people my babies are hanging out with?" I'm not saying you know go make friends or that their music isn't good enough for people to like... but unfortunately bands have to kind of ride eachothers current from time to time... and CF did a great job doing that and I believe it has a lot to do with why they've branched out of Japan the most.
