  1. I don't know enough about seasonal events to answer that properly, but I wager there's gonna be something to do always in Tokyo, it's a big city.

    And with only a week, you're gonna have a hard time getting bored :P

     

    There's an occasional Diadem member who lives in Japan, I'll try to bug one of them to say a thing or two when I see one next time.

  2. My experience as a traveller there is, that it's really cheap.

    When I first went there, I was worried about the prices since I had heard the same as you, but restaurants and Family Mart / 7-11 all had some pretty damn reasonable prices (seriously, I wish 7-11 in Denmark was as cheap as the ones in Tokyo).

     

    As far as daily budget goes, you can easily go with 3000-5000 yen a day (28-45 bucks a day, depending on how frugal you wanna be).

    The metro system is also fairly cheap and can take you everywhere in the city as well, stuff like museums and zoos aren't really all that pricey either (their cafés on the other hand...) so all in all you can do well with reasonable prices.

     

    The hotel may be pricy, but if you order in good time you should be able to find a decent hotel at reasonable prices.

    Depending on how long time you're gonna be there, I can also recommend the Kiba Tokyo Hotel if you're going for cheap without being horrible.

    It's a capsule hotel but they're surprisingly roomy (only room to lie down though, of course) and the facilities are pretty nice as well, good lobby, nice staff and large common bathroom with a jacuzzi for each gender. Your larger luggage will be down in the lobby, but I didn't have any experience where I worried about anyone stealing anything, it's mostly tourists (foreign and national) who are there and some Danish tourists even gave me a discount-coupon collection for hotels because they were leaving early and hadn't used it all up.

    You can find cheaper capsule hotels in Shinjuku, but from what I was able to see they're not really suitable for longer stays due to some really crappy rules regarding check-in/check-out.

     

    Obviously I don't really know your estimated budget or where you're from and stuff like that, but in my experience it's quite affordable for a tourist.

    I guess uhm... PM me if you got more questions or something before I end up writing too long here.

     

    EDIT: No clue about the fansigning.

  3. While I do heavily recommend you have concert tickets before you go there, I'd also like to point out that in all the events (2) I've been to in Tokyo with T-ara, there have been ticket sale at the entrance as well.

     

    It's super risky to do that without being sure though, so it's not something I recommend.

    As for personal shoppers, Cheetah, a fella who went to the concerts in Tokyo during the September Tour last year used a particular site, I sadly don't have the link right now but you could send him a PM about it.

  4. I vote for Sso.

    It's a bit amusing, because from what I had seen from the trailers, I thought it would be very even between Sso and Boram, and thus thought I would have a hard time voting.

    Do mind I'll mostly judge this on the MV, since the live performances are derived from them usually (to a certain degree).

     

    Soyeon in the MVs looked perfect in pretty much every scene and there were no issues whatsoever with anything.

    With all her various appearances she nails it completely as the best looking girl (also being at the center of the hip-swaying choreo is really nice).

     

    Qri was the second best looking girl in the MV, there's pretty much nothing bad to say about her appearance and make-up in the MV and she was incredibly sharp. As usual her creepy-stare-into-your-soul look was as good as it could be   :P

     

    Hyomin was nice looking, but the sun glasses she wore were pretty annoying, they covered her whole face :(

    Other than that though, she looked nice in all other occasions though and that's nice.

     

    Jiyeon is a bit iffy in teh MV if you ask me, there were several moments where she looked really great, but also others where I thought she wasn't looking her best. i do think that was a make-up thing, but it's a pity it was a hit-or-miss with her.

    She did have a fierce and aggressive look at times that was really great though.

     

    Eunjung managed to bother me a bit actually, there were several times in the MV when she looked great, but her face just seems to be so much more thin than before. I don't know if it was because of make-up or her weight loss, but she did disappoint me in the MV. At least she seems to be back to her usual good looks in the live stages, but I really am not too happy with her appearance in the MV.

     

    And then we got Boram, she managed to be the biggest disappointment in the MV as far as looks go. It's partially because the teasers showed her very best looks from the MV, which were just ridiculously good, but for most of the time she didn't live up to that standard in the MV. I had anticipated having to decide on #1 best looks between her and Sso, but it was an easy choice, sadly.

     

    A few things to note though, every single one of the girls looked amazing and great in the jumpsuit scenes, everything pretty much went well there and was done without any issues whatsoever.

    Their live performances so far have not been disappointing though, the girls overall look better there than they do in the MV.

  5. Yeah, so I'm making plans to bugger off to Tokyo again, and since there were some Queen's from Diadem in the concert last year, I figured it'd be worth asking around for this time.

    Are anyone here going to go to the fanmeeting and stuff?

    I definitely wouldn't mind meeting up a bit during the day or something, just to meet some other fans and all.

  6. I'm not gonna post any suggestions because, as we've noticed already, I suck horribly at this game.

    However, I will give some impressions :P

    I really liked the intro song and definitely think it's a nice touch to use their own music in the game ^^

    The art style and the characters are so adorable, Boram nearly killed me there and their outfits were so nice too.

    Generally I think the dialogue and the various references were great, the game is awfully adorable and the setting is perfect.

    More of the same I say, more of the same.

    Also again, I suck horribly, it took me more than an hour to finish it ._.

  7. Elie will be very drunk upon reading this article.

    BTW cheers to them :D hopefully this won't be such a big deal when they comeback and like people flipping the table and stuff.

    The bloody hell would I be crying for...

    Meanwhile, yay! It's great to hear that Sso has someone she loves and has been with for a long time :D

    I may always have promised fire and brimstone and hell for other fans if they so much touched her, but this is a guy she choose and it's really good to hear she's with someone like this ^^

    Best of luck Sso, and I hope it'll be great :D

  8. Ya guys nearly gave me a heart attack when I refreshed and got the new layout a few moments before the announcement came xD

    Thought my browser was screwing up on me after I had spent the night fiddling with my router settings to make that one work :P

    I like the new layout, it's nice and smooth ^^
