@Woot....You will not be able to get a JR Rail Pass once you are in Japan. They are only available to foreign visitors. If you plan to use it half way through your trip then you will still need to buy one before you arrive. Whatever agency you buy it from will send you a voucher and you redeem it at a JR office in Japan. Check out this link if you haven't already: http://www.japan-guide.com/

There is a wealth of info on there including transportation info.

Thanks for that link
But I think think ill take one way tickets for my trip or the kintetsu rail pass wide for my day trips to kyoto and nara www.kintetsu.co.jp/foreign/english/useful/ticket/rpw1-krpw.html

Some updates Form you? Scandal heaven member meeting Osaka 2013?

As of now, the SH USA contingent will be taking the early Scandal Bus Tour, grabbing our merchandise, dropping our loot at our hotels, then maybe lunch and hang till the concert. You can't miss us. Look for the Big Head Canta and the Big Head Doraemon. Near the entrance to Osaka-jo Hall is a huge fountain. That's a good place to arrange any meet ups.

sounds nice ill join u there :-D

well,

not sure for SG side, but possible 11am we will reach at Jo-hall, since that's the time for merchandise to open also.

11am? Then we can go together for Lunch .clap.

The SH Twitter hasn't really been used in a while (not since the Budokan live lol), but I'm going to try and update it as much as possible on the day of the live to let everyone know what's going on with us and to try to figure out a time to arrange a meet-up.

I'm going to arrange for a flower stand to be sent from Scandal Heaven, similar to what we did at Budokan. If anyone wants to chip in a little for it I'll have some info a bit later; since time seems a little short I want to get it ordered first.

count me in.

Flowers have been ordered!

If anyone wants to pitch in a little for them you can find me at the Scandal live (dobondobondo cosplay ftw), but don't worry about chipping in anything unless you've already bought all the Scandal goods you want!



If you haven't been to Osaka before, one place to check out for sure is the スキャンダルbuilding where Scandal got their name from and where their old practice space used to be.

LINK: Google Maps from Osaka Jo Hall

It's a 10 minute walk from the hall and great to get pictures of the signs during the day or night. If you go up the elevator to the Studio Brotherz practice space, they have a Scandal sign board behind the counter (just say you're fans and ask nicely to see it).

If you're interested in doing a full SCANDAL pilgrimage, check out this map of places they went during the Music Edge TV interview last year: http://daisukiscandal.jimdo.com/%E8%81%96%E5%9C%B0%E5%B7%A1%E7%A4%BCmap-%E4%BA%AC%E6%A9%8B%E7%B7%A8/. I did this during an afternoon in Osaka and it was pretty fun. Be prepared to eat a lot.

I got an Idea:

Lets do the Scandal pilgrimage together with all SH members who are in Osaka. What ur think about that?

u guys should do it! if you're talking about the tv show with UK san ... i thought that TOMO was soo funny teasing UK san haha ... take lots of pics and let us know hw the vienna curry tastes :D

Hi everyone!

I just found out that I'll be able to take a couple of days off to fly to Osaka for the concert. The problem is that I don't have a ticket as I didn't think I would be able to make it.

Is it possible to purchase a ticket from the eplus.jp website if I'm from the US, and if that was possible and I were to purchase it now, would I be able to pick it up at a Family Mart later in the week?

Any information is appreciated.

@silkdog44: Unfortunately you would need a Japanese credit card/a credit card with a Japanese address in order to buy tickets online, so that is not an option that you could take.

Since the concert is only a week away it's hard to say what other kind of options you would have. I suppose you could try to get a ticket from Yahoo! Auctions Japan by means of a deputy service such as Celga and have them ship it to wherever you'd be staying in Japan.

Thank you for the quick reply, I'll go ahead and give that a try!

I think the tickets are sold out, so you'll want to look at the ones for sale on yahoo japan auctions, or use a service like fdjp.com. I'm going to be getting on my flights soon and won't have Internet access for a while but hopefully someone can answer any questions you might have about that.

Celga won't do tickets when it's less than 2 weeks before the show, but Rinkya will.

Thanks! I was just reading through the Celga FAQs. I will try those other options.

Thanks again @thoseguiltyeyes and @320x200

Haha, I'm rewatching it now and noticing Tomo teasing him. The wiener curry is really good, probably the best curry I had during my trip to Japan. The sauce is flavorful and has a good amount of heat, and the hot dogs are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I wonder if lots of fellow fans will visit this coming week too. The staff will probably be really confused as to why so many people are getting wiener curry, lol...

@WoOt1337
have a nice flight !!

Osaka is a real nice city I like being here :-)

Only a few days left to the big day
