wow, Budokan is a huge test for Airi... hopefully it sells well

 

Would this be the biggest solo concert since... Mano Erina? Did she even get a concert of this magnitude? Matsuura at her peak maybe?

The only female idols to do a SOLO Budokan in this list are Suzuki Ami & Kyari Pamyu Pamyu. I don't know if it's actually complete, and don't know what happened before 2000 at all. But I'm pretty sure Mano never did anything bigger than Nakano Sunplaza-level hall concerts. Matsuura either, AFAIK.

Speaking of Budokan, I was hoping to get some help from you lovely people in regards to getting tickets! I contacted No Country for Tall Men and expressed interest in tickets for her Budokan show, and he told me if I want FC tickets (which are my best bet?) I can join the fanclub through him and do it that way.

 

Doesn't M-line/UF have fanclubs available for foreign fans too? And if so can't I order that way myself? For those of you who are experienced concert-goers, can you give me advice as to the best way for me to do this?

I'll just say this; I got my tickets to see C-ute last year via No Country for Tall Men and the seats were the worst ever.  Granted, they were selling super fast as it was their last tour, etc... but I chose a smaller venue hoping to see them better but ended up in the very back row, very far to the left which not only was difficult to see them at that angle, but the sound quality was terrible.  Make sure you know your seat before you pay, if possible.

 

As for the fan clubs, lotteries, etc... I really don't know how that's possible outside of Japan.  Or maybe it was really difficult for me to plan for something to coincide with a planned trip to Japan only to find out I don't win a lottery, if you know what I mean.

Getting major Kpop vibes from Perfect Timing... and that's a good thing in this case, Airi's voice makes the song so refreshing

[davidguy3237]

I'm liking what I'm hearing so far, but hopefully they don't try to put too many genres into this album. Would make for an awkward listen. Distance/perfect timing vs Mikansei Girl/Kimi no Suki na Hito make for a big difference in musical styles as it is.

[onesnowyday]

I'm loving perfect timing. 

I'm so excited for this album tbh. I can't wait ;u; 

[blackknight07]

The song has that kinda generic kpopish wannabe hip-hop beat and I usually can't stand kpop, but Airi really makes it work. Would really like to see a MV for it

Perfect Timing (Full Ver. from Airi's Potion) (credit to SaebaRyo@JPLOP)

[Ohasumi]

Perfect Timing's such a K-Pop ish sounding song.  I'm honestly not the biggest fan of it, but if Airi comes up to perform with some badass choreography, I could rethink it.  

 

I hope Airi does something calm and RnB-ish (like IU's Palette), since it's a genre that I don't hear a lot in the mainstream Japanese scene. I remember Airi loved listening to BRIGHT (she posted a blog about being sad that they were disbanding and that she was a big fan). If she puts up a song like that I'll be a happy fan.   She could do something like Buono's Mirai Drive even.

[kbidols]

The song is really letting Airi explore her vocal ability. Not bad for a solo debut release.

[Kuraudo17]

Airi comes up to perform with some badass choreography, I could rethink it.  

Have you seen her choreographer friend Kanata's Instagram? I think we'll definitely see something *different* soon.
