It must have been the only one, because they made a separate post about it. Would they have sold out if they'd went with Bataclan instead. Probably not. Bataclan still works after terrorist attack in 2015? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Karma’s Hat 3107 Posted February 13, 2019 If you’re wondering whether a venue is operatial or not, google is your friend. Common sense usually helps too since you can see it in the poster and I’m sure it didn’t come to 2019 through a time warp. And yeah, the venues are not small and aside from a few exceptions they are pretty decently filled up. Back in 2007 when lots of shows sold out they were played at smaller venues ( but for example, iirc jigsaw saw gazette in munich in 2007 during the golden years and it was half empty, which I could not imagine happening nowdays. ) The boom is gone, but Gazette and Deg pull crowds ranging from 600/700 to even 1000+ people ( le zenith for gazette last time for one ) and I reckon it’ll stay that way till the forseeable future, or at least we’re safe to say so if gazette does it again, three times in a row with 3 year interwals inbetween. Also about the circus, I am not entirely sure but I think a small part of the venue might have been curtained off for both shows, or it is just my memory playing tricks on me because for some other bigger bands I’ve remembered the venue seeming larger.

It was a bit sad to see, but the band was good at least. The venue was Muffathalle iirc, dunno the exact capacity.

Masato 365 Posted February 14, 2019 Thanks for your insights! Fewer shows, bigger venues makes sense. 👓 So I can take my time contemplating on whether to get a ticket or not... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daintypersnicketydingo 38 Posted March 18, 2019 Impulsively bought a ticket for NYC, it is going to be a very silly commute by bus for me. I've never seen them live as well.

Call me crazy but I'm more excited to see the NINTH songs more than any "treats" they might throw our way. I'd rather be surprised.

jduv86 224 Posted April 1, 2019 "Anata no tame no kono inochi" is the song that got me into them and Visual Kei back in 2004 so if they played that at NY this time, I'm going to push so close to the stage, I'll be kissing Ruki's boot. Also, I would like some surprising B-sides to come out this time Chijou Uncertain Sense VERMIN Kugutsue Also, Kare Uta 1 1 Ro plz and platy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no chance that they'll play "Anata no tame no kono inochi" or any other old/rare song. They only play their old, rare songs during special occasions. It would be amazing though! Their latest setlists are pretty boring, predictable and disappointing. Still hoping they will give us something to get excited about.

Closet Crybaby 6 Posted April 20, 2019 Gonna be going to VIP Toronto and VIP LA. I wouldn't expect much for B-side songs since Ruki posted on his IG that they were going to play "easy songs" for the wt. So I'm guessing mostly PV songs like last time. And probably some NINTH songs sprinkled in too. That being said though, I'd die to hear "Without a Trace" live Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
