aibanokokuhaku So, as I mentioned briefly at the end of my last post, my current job finishes at the end of February. My last day will be on the 26th. I was worried about money and whether or not I'd be able to attend any gigs, but actually, I already have another job lined up, and my first day will be February 27th.
I am a bit bummed because I will be taking a pay cut (I'll be making about 12,500 yen less per week) but I'll also be working less hours, meaning I can fill the gaps with some private students or a more relaxed English cafe-type part-time job 2 weekday mornings to help make up the difference. My working hours will be Tuesday to Friday (15:30 to 21:00) and Saturday (an 8 hour shift somewhere between 10:00 and 20:00). This being said, I won't be able to swap days like I could at my old job since this company is only open on those days, and Saturdays will be nearly impossible to take off, I imagine. So I see the odds of me going to the Saturday for Kishidan Banpaku this year as nearly impossible, as well as the Halloween Party concert, if it's on Saturday again, which it likely will be.
So far, this is my Kishidan schedule lineup for 2018. I will edit this post if more shows get added/changed:
Sun, Apr. 29: hide 20th Memorial Concert, Odaiba, Tokyo. (Already bought ticket)
Mon, Jul 9: I LOVE YOU! I NEED YOU! tour, Mito, Ibaraki. (Trying to get ticket. Hopefully I can go!)
Sun, Sept. 16: Kishidan Banpaku (Day 2), Sodegaura, Chiba. (Tickets not yet on sale)
Nov-Dec??? Some kind of year-end event? They performed at Countdown Japan last year.
If they happen to perform any gigs in Kanto between August 12th and 20th, my work will be closed for a small summer break then, and I can go see them then, too. I know, the odds are low. I'm also open to going to one of the club events Show-yan likes to appear at in Shinjuku/Shibuya or wherever during that time. We'll see if something happens!
Anyway, at this point I am hoping I can see them 3-4 more times this year (I saw them twice in January), which would put my total times seeing them at 8 or 9 by the end of 2018. This would basically put me on a schedule of, once averaged out, seeing them once per every 60 days since September 2017. Depending on how active they are next year, I'd like to see them 3-5 times in 2019, but also since it will be Arashi's 20th anniversary, I'd like to take some time out then to cover them and go to their concert. Especially because I'll be turning 30 next year... Already. :/
As soon as I get settled into my new job, expect a translation post finally! Sorry! I spent every day the last few weeks either working my current job or interviewing for a new one. I'm wiped out! Thanks for your patience!
