Also, Hyde signed the back of someone's neck and bites people's fingers, why not just sign someone's arm (or what was it?) That being said.... I'm glad they even give us the opportunities to meet them :)

I also knew it was going to be a simple meet and greet. I think what was misleading was the way the rules and prize were announced. With text saying things like they would ask you about your devil side and the video.

And yes, since it was a contest and it was few people, one would have expected more time with them. Not 30 minutes each but maybe a little more than 3? At every venue people that won got in and after 10 minutes they were out, in some venues it was 6 people in other 10 (5 winners + friends).

I guess that if they had just written on the rules and prize: meet and greet = quick signing, instead of the alluring way they wrote about it, they would have had even less people posting the videos. Since most of us got that like 3 times last year during the many autograph signings they had.

Also, the venues were no were close to being full so maybe that demotivated them or something. They did looked really tired.

Nothing big.....a signed poster or a piece of small merchandise from their Japanese collection that we cannot easily buy overseas.

But then again, they did not have to offer anything to us.
