Since they always get better stuff than the other countries do (including tour goods) I've always wondered why, most of the tour goods were really cheap quality T_T. I mean I know their consumerism has something to do with it, but things like that end up with spoiled Hydeist fans that arrive 30 minutes before the doors open and want to get up front of the line. (happened to me on 3 opportunities).

I have no info on plane tickets from Japan to Hawaii but is it less expensive? cause from the states is over $700 from the east coast.

PS: Hi there zzzzzz*_*!! ^^ I haven't eaten the pringles yet lol~

Just a question as I am not at home to check. Where were the USA tour goods manufactured? Did they come from Japan/Asian country or were they made in the USA? Different manufacturing areas might explain the difference in quality if they came from different places.

My bottle opener says "made in China"
the USA version of the album was made in the USA
i can't remember where i left my pamphlet
there weren't T-shirts and cups in the Portland show
i didn't feel like buying a totebag back then

I believe I remember there being a made in Japan tag on the tote and the cups dont have anything on them saying where they were made and the pamphlet is made in the USA. We do get the lower end of the stick sometimes thats for sure, but having the privledge to see them live is good.

Me too! Hahaha...I went up the wrong escalator, then got directed up another flight of escalators where I found myself meandering the maze of high-priced luxury merchadise. When I say meandering and maze, I really mean it! Sense of direction? Not me!! Smart enough to look for exit signs? Nope! Lol, 3 floors of mazes later I finally found the right wing on the ground floor where I started from.

On another note, I didn't mean to imply that I KNEW that only 50 people were going. I saw the list, but that doesn't mean there weren't more pages to it, although there were no other pages stapled to it. I don't mean to get anyone upset and I apologize if I did.

As for it being only a Japanese show. I (just my opinion) get the impression it was only going to be for the Japanese. Before the announcement that it was open to the US, the website only spoke of the Japanese tour. When we went to the Las Vegas show, we were speaking to one of the people selling the merchandise and asked him if the Hawai'i show would be open to the US fans. He said he didn't know anything about it but would ask the manager (J?). He came back and said the manager was surprised and didn't know that it was not open to everyone, and that he would look into it. I guess he really did. I'm very thankful it was opened to us, even if it is a limited number. That shows (to me) that they really do listen to and care for their fans.

Yay VAMPS!
much love and aloha to all

I know that the quality of Japanese paper compared to American is superior. I had wondered about the clothing, too. Only reason I made the comment was to point out that perhaps it was where the items were manufactured. That might have made the difference as to the quality of the materials.....
I would see them live again....merchandise or not. Our memories are our greatest "take-aways" from the lives.

That's true ^^ I made great friends and met wonderful people ^^. Plus I realized I wasn't as crazy as I thought due to other crazier fans . I have great memories of everything ^^ it was an amazing adventure! I hope they return next year so I can return to the states to see them !

hi zzzzzz,

They just gave us this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42256494@N04/3895775538/
which is pretty much the same information previously stated.

2 1/2 hours of VAMPS? I hope so!

I doubt they'll give you even 2 hours xD. In the other concert tickets it said 7 pm and the shows started after 8:30 even 9 T_T. I think they just put it like that so they have a time frame to act according to T_T
