I understand that the 7/20 ZEPP Tokyo concert of Vamps will be aired live on Nico Nico.
Does anybody know how this works?
From what I've heard about the Attack of the Yellow Fried Chickenz concert of Gackt at the 7/24 at Bochum that will be also aired live on Nico Nico I understand you have to pay to see the live stream, is that correct? And do you have the chance to see it outside of Japan or is it area restricted? If this is the case I hope some kind person rips it (and the Gackt concert as well because I will be there ).

Hi, I think the info below will help you a bit.

[ 7/20 VAMPS LIVE BEAUTY AND THE BEAST ON-AIR on NicoNico live streaming ]

1. You have to pay 2,000 Nico Nico point(=2,000yen) to see it.

2. Ticket will be available from 13th 0:00(JST). I suppose "buy" button will appear on this url when it's available. Now VAMPS LIVE is listed bottom of the page.

3. I asked Niconico support about viewing from overseas and got this reply.

It says;

Nico nico video itself is mainly domestic service, so we can't help about security problem or access problem or any kind of trouble in each country. Thank you.

I'm not sure what "クレジットカードは日本国内のみ" means. Is it your credit card must be issued in Japan? Or does it mean you need to be in Japan when you buy it? Or else?

I visited Nico Nico point page. Payment way is;

- Credit card (JCB, VISA, MasterCard)
- Webmoney
- docomo (Only if you use japanese docomo mobile)
- Edy
- Mobile Edy

And I recommend you to check some free live streaming before you pay. I'm not sure 100% it is accessible from overseas.

Hope many of you can watch it. I believe VAMPS LIVE is worth it.

Thanks a lot for your explanations, Yuiku!
2000 Yen are 17,83 EUR or 22,59 $. Wow . I don't know in which quality the streaming will be, but that's quite a price.
Imho you can only hope for a rip of someone...
The 20th is a tuesday and I am 7 hours behind so I am probably at work until 16:00 which is 23.00 in Tokyo, so... no chance for me to watch it live anyway. It's a pity because I am sure it would be cool to watch. Waaah, and I really hope someone rips the Gackt concert on the 24th - it would be such a great memory for me.

oooo no free streaming 2000 yen is quiet a price .. well then we just hope someone kind enough to rip it for us.

Sounds great. I have high hopes in someone's ripping it too! (In high quality for that matter; just got back from the MEMORIES live topic @3@)

Yeah you can usually only buy things in Japan with Japanese funds unfortunately...the credit cards and debit cards over there are all attached to Japanese banks just like credit cards here in the U.S. are attached to U.S. Banks. If only there was some way out for us "World Citizens" :/

And I hope so much that there is a rip of this concert DX

I paid 2000 yens and no problem using VISA. Was super-fast and easy I wonder, which image quality is gonna be (?).

Actually I think they usually do work. I buy stuff online at Japan online shops (like Artist Deli, VAMPS Japanese goods store, L'Arc's FC) with my regular U.S. credit card (VISA) alllll the time. It's never not worked for me ^^

about the Nico Nico broadcast, can't wait!! I hope the quality is good...

So if anyone is looking for a program to record it, I recommend "Replay AV" - demo versions and torrents are out there ...

And here I never even tried to order anything from a Japanese site because I thought they wouldn't accept my American VISA! Did you ever try to get Hydeist goods?? I wanted that HELLO shirt so bad back in the day but I think I might have tried and it said it wouldn't accept non-Japanese funds? Or perhaps that's not true and I just fooled myself into believing that.............................but why would I do such a thing???

Is the International shipping cost pretty steep on that though too?
