Reitaisai 21 will take place on 2024-05-03 at Tokyo Big Sight.Tickets for Reitaisai 21 are on sale now:https://reitaisai.com/rts21/ticket/https://t.livepocket.jp/e/rts21_ticketThe account creation process for Livepocket is a little time-consuming and you need a mobile phone number. Works without any problems with European phone numbers and credit cards.
Y-you have already purchased your ticket, right senpai?
>>46529112That's surprisingly expensive, I already got used to ~1500 yen price for Comiket and Comitia
>>46531678That was only for the fast passes. They are already sold out btw. It was a good idea to get up extra early to purchase one just after the sale started.
No other convention bros here?!
>>46534238Nigga do you really think anyone here goes to jap conventions
>>46534275Well, there usually are Comiket threads here.
Welp, I plan to create a new thread in three weeks. Maybe then more people will be interested.
>>46534238Remiflu honestly killed it and all other forms of long travel for me. Killed a lotta things for me actually, though thankfully not in the literal sense.
>>46539297Where did Corona-chan touch you?
>>46552860
>>46553063>people are more interested in a CD than in the event itself
>>46539084>>46556657Yes - generally people are only interested in keeping it bumped during Golden Week>>46534238>>46534275I've been to comiket and Reitaisai (in Taiwan), but visiting Japan from the states just for a doujin convention alone would be underwhelming - would have to make a proper trip for it.
>>46531542I'll be cosplaying like last year, see you Anons there.
>>46534238Went to both last year have to miss spring this year, lots of fun and going to miss it but gotta go cosplay in scandinavia for a bit
>>46566863>gotta go cosplay in scandinavia for a bitAre you going to cosplay as Spurdo?
>>46566596Are you the Parsee anon?
>>46569696Yup! How'd you guess? From last Autumn, I presume?For Reitaisai, if I can get the wig, shoes, and tail finished fast enough, I want to be Doremy. Parsee will be my fallback though.
>>46529112>Tokyo Big Sight>it's actually like 3rd floor or somethingwhat did they mean bythat
>>46569821Is the big sight even open during conventions at all? Or is it just the halls as always?>>46569732A-are you a cute femboy?
There will never be another /jp/ meetup.
>>46574977The combined meetups of /jp/, /a/ and /trv/ aren't that bad.
>>46572039Are you seriously that thirsty for human contact?
>>46575375When he is wearing a dress, he is a girl!
>>46556657Yeah some people like the stuff ZUN makes.
>>46575657Then they could also attend Reitaisai.
>>46568129No, cirno
>>46578597Nice. Nothing beats short dresses.
>>46578597No pantsu time?
>>46536970True, but only during Comiket. Not a month before it takes place.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvMKKz_BQU
>>46598457Nice. Is that part of the new Zun CD?
>>46599783I don't understand what you mean by that.

Make sure to buy some stickers when you are there:https://reitaisai.com/rts21/goods/They also offer an official wine brand.Thread theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87aH8SCnLOI
>>46610994>They also offer an official wine brand.>4500 Yen for a bottle of random wine with a Reimu drawing on it
Any new shit from EastNewSound, Alstroemeria and Shibayan?
>>46614764https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlhU9qd3lnE
>>46614781>more Bossa NovaAre you fucking shitting me, man.I want off this fucking ride.Where are the good ol' days of Kokoro Vibration and Magico Catastrofe...
>>46614792Lol, move with the times, boomer
>>46610994I will try to get one of those stylish towels.
>go to reitaisai>finish the day getting drunk at the comfy touhou bar with the cosplayer bartender and singing karaoke with the localsSecond year in a row going bros, I can't wait
I'm gonna be in Japan during this time but I'm not super into Touhou nor into waiting in line for a very long time.
>>46556657>>46569821>>46614624>>46614792>>46619357Who are you quoting>>46620400Then why are you even in this threadI hate tourists so much
Fuck yeah can't wait to have a good time in Japan!
Nothing from Mopata.....
>>46598457nice XFD
>>46620889>you are a tourist>you are speaking EnglishLol
Should I get a Welcome Suika card and keep recharging it if I want to explore around some?
>>46621015The only real limitation with a welcome suica is that you can't cash out any remaining balance on it and it only lasts 28 days. Other than that it's just as good as a normal suica. >>46582876Yeah gets hot as balls especially if lifting
>>46620889>Who are you quotingDo you even lift?
>>46621463I only lift cute imaginary mango girls. They don't weigh that much.
>>46619357I'll see you there anon
I'm going to Japan at this time but wtf would I go to this? Maybe I'll just walk around near the bay.
>>46623892You are posting on /jp/ which is overwhelmingly a Touhou board and you would not go to a Touhou event even though you are close to its location anyways?
>>46624073Well, I mean... Why? I can buy doujinshi and merch from here in the US. Unless there is some super unique thing there that will never get put online to buy, I can just walk around doujin shops hell, I don't have to even do that. Just buy on mandarake, suruga-ya, alicebooks, toranoana etc. I never even considered going to some convention. Stand in lines, pay money, for what? I could literally just get goody-japan proxy to do the footwork for me and I have. I played PCB a year after it came out and that got me into touhou and a few of its characters. I did conventions when I was a kid in the 80s/90s. Star Trek actually, but anyways, it seems like there is at least one or two people who are over this shit. This is me. >>46620904 and I just don't see why. I fuckin love Ran, Chen, Momiji and have followed this shit since like 2005 or 6 but at least I now know I am not alone when I say I'm not gonna get sucked into wasting a day in Tokyo.
>>46624630>for what?For the experience and the meet liked-minded people.It's similar to the difference between listening to a CD and going to a concert.
>>46624679>and the meet*and to meet
>>46624679Eh... that's a kids mentality. Look... go there and have fun or whatever but this stuff doesn't even deserve a thread here IMHO. I've spent more money on touhou related crap over the years I could get a brand new f-150 not even including the time. Enjoy their cash-grab if you want. Make Jun'ya richer I guess even though he has neglected and has been blowing off his fans for years. >>46624679Wtf listening to a CD is exponentially better than a concert. Just like being spoiled by having the best seat in the house watching football/sports in your home theater. You can see and hear tons better.
>>46624795Well, to each his own.I hope you will enjoy your vacation, just like I will enjoy mine.
>>46624953You as well, you are going to actually go do stuff in Japan since you are flying over there I assume right? You're not just going there for that are you? Share what you are going to get up to to make the trip worth it.
>>46625052This will be my 6th trip to Japan, so I have already seen most of the standard stuff. That is why I will do the Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route and some hiking tours. I also plan to fit in the obligatory onsen visit. In addition, I want to see how Japan is during Golden Week. I have already been there during Obon and the New Year's week. So far Golden Week is the only one of the three main holiday periods which caused me problems with booked-out hotels.
Where's the newest Sakuflan by Yassy ;_;
>>46625795In our hearts
>>46625569I'm coming in the very end of golden week by choice. I am hoping the crowds will be a little less, before summer vacation for families and just before rainy season. Had no problem with booking hotel room for that end weekend. The price was jacked up high but point redemption with my hotel was dirt cheap for some reason. Like 150 dollars was about ~40 dollars. Yeah, hot springs are great I always try to hike out to them and relax or at a developed one. Have fun.
Do you guys (male) usually shave your legs if you cosplay a character wearing a dress?
>>46630534Only if we plan to attend the gay orgy afterwards.
One day I will foster the courage and book a plane for ReitaisaiMaybe next year...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVv18W4iWNchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ethR0FfcqwNew minimum electric design album sounds great.
>>46636490Why not this time?
>>46638973Covid
>>46640214Do you currently have Covid or are you afraid of it?
>>46640338I just want to wait a few more years till it blows over. I've been inside since like February 2020 I think. They told us to stay home. They never said we should go outside yet.
>>46607357I was really confused by this because it's everyone except reimu and hisami, until I saw a comment from the creator saying that they're not included because they were the only characters who didn't get controlled by zanmu during the gamewhich is clever, I guess, but it does just mean I feel like I missed out on a reimu and hisami section of the medley
>>46607357>>46640550The guy just posted the XFD of the album the song is from. All TH19 arranges.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhhvbtObgNo [Embed]

>>46534238I've got the standard ticket for it, and I also plan to go to 東方音歌宴 vol.4 (live event) afterwards. since I love toho eurobeat and I helped make some of the music for one of the performing circles, pretty hyped
>>46646514>東方音歌宴Sounds interesting. I just googled it, but only found information on last year's event. Do you have a link?I plan to attend Anison Matrix on May 4th, so I'm not sure if I would survive another party right before it.
>>46620961She's back :Dhttps://youtu.be/eNtiAegH5gA
>>46643195Oh cool. Some of these tracks are remixes.
>>46607357Nice medley
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_Nmuezvs6MHEY HEY HEY COME ON OVER AND HAVE SOME FUN WITH CRAAAAAAAAAZY TENGU
>>46647352Y-you too
>>46646649the twitter for the events (and the announcement for this one) is here: https://twitter.com/touhouotoutage/status/1781657132917743838in case you dont wanna use twitter here's the livepocket ticket site for it https://t.livepocket.jp/e/kwshiits pretty close to big sight so idk depends if you have the energy after reitaisai ends
Noooooooooo!>Camera registration is required when taking pictures of cosplay and Itasha.>It is prohibited to take pictures without the permission of the subject or without the people around you knowing that you are taking pictures.https://reitaisai.com/rts21/notes/
>>46649495Thanks. Sounds quiet interesting.So Reitaisai ends at 15:30 + 1 hour to bring my stuff to my hotel room + 1/2 hour to go to Gotanda. Would be possible.Do you know when the event will end?
>>46649828Not sure. There's 6 performers so if each goes for 30 mins (about 5 songs and a speech) it'll finish at around 9pm, 3 hour sesh. But this is just a guess from other live events i've been to, where they end quite earlier than in the west.
>>46649926That's surprisingly humane. I will probably buy a ticket in advance and then will decide shortly before the event will start if I will actually attend it.It just crossed my mind that there might also be a /jp/ meetup after Reitaisai ended which would make the schedule a little bit busier.
>>46650039Just skip the orgy. You butt hole will appreciate it.
>>46649741>or without the people around you knowing that you are taking picturesI wish everywhere did this. Public execution for anybody who gets more than an inch of me in a picture that ends up online.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pzovHUCiNYEoSD OST arranged in the style of the PC98 games.It's not just 1:1 though, the songs have been arranged pretty heavily.
>>46649926Okay, I purchased a ticket. It's not that hard a decision with the current weakness of the Yen.Lol at the venue for still asking for covid contact information.
>>46653465nice. hope you'll enjoy it if you decide to go.i'll likely be easy to spot as a white dude in the sea of japanese music fans, if you want to cheer em on together.
>>46656590I may post here in case I will go.
>>46650911That's good to know.
>>46651859>arranged in the style of the PC98 games.Note really my taste.
>>46665504Okay.
What are the recommended clothes for Reitaisai? I just checked the weather report and it is supposed to be surprisingly warm on the day it will take place: 16-22° C and a 0% of rain.
>>46668684Anon, it's a convention. Just wear something comfortable, don't look stupid and bring your favourite Touhou clothing.
>>46669823He probably wants to be prepared in case he will meet a cute femboy.

>>46673033So much talent. Very sad that such people cannot make a living on their creations.
>>46649741This shit gets more corporate every year...
>>46675996Same as last year.
>>46676020I understand that you should ask cosplayers for permission, but without registration you are not even allowed to take photos of cars.
>>46676079Cars need their privacy too
>>46675996That rule has been standard not just at Reitaisai but at many Japanese events
>>46676929For reasons ...
>>46534238Cba. The third is a Friday, I'm working.
>>46621015Just use the machine to buy a commuter pass and you'll get a regular Suica instead if you plan to visit often or live here. I recommend buying a route like shibuya to your hotel since you'll travel it a lot.

>>46651859this is very cute!!!!! very cool take on UN owen
>>46679629I have arrived
>>46673033Very nice, I'll have to get this
>>46651859This is very good, thanks for sharing
>>46649741Shit definitely broke this rule last year. Weird that I don't remember seeing any signs or anything saying that. I only took pictures of some of the cars and I'm a huge gaijin so they must not have bothered/cared.
>>46679657I saw USAO live at a tano*c concert almost two years ago now. Instantly became a huge fan. Guy absolutely demolished his set, blew the roof off the place.
>>46679751I'm sure nobody would notice
>>46673033Luna Rainbow arrange
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0Y0ewm_bnwHifuu style album with mainly original songs and a few arranges.
>>46625569>>46628530At least the beginning of Golden Week isn't as bad as expected. Just like during Obon it is sufficient if you book shinkansen seat reservations 1-3 days in advance. The crowds at the train stations are similar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMGNuq0o_UQAnother original hifuu album.
>>46691299Noice
anyone also going to M3? do you know how big the crowds are at that one?it starts 10:30 tomorrow but should I arrive how long before so I can get in smoothly?
>>46693839I'm torn between Comic 1 and M3, they're held at the same time

>>46706665i took a picture of the queue but i refrained from taking images inside the venue... Theres just no cosplayers at M3 anyway so no point
>>46708085Surprisingly few cute twinks
>>46566596>>46569696>>46569732I think, assuming postage doesn't mess up the delivery of a crucial part at the less minute, I will be Doremy for Reitaisai! I'll be giving out candy, so if you see me feel free to say hi!

>>46723834Are you? Checkmate!

>>46723095Hey fuck you, dude.
>>46620904Great time to go to Japan my dude. Have a great time!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KyjJbXIiUsU.N. Owen arrange album from Chocofan.
>>46725494Yes. Which is what makes the spam obnoxious.
The amount of works that I want to get is actually really low. Very happy that Imizu is releasing a new work.
>>46728231I'll show you who's the boss of this thread.
It was year 2024, Kuroneko Lounge never went back to making Touhou House sets
>>46709199Good luck!
When should you actually start queueing? Is it like comiket where it says entry is at 10:30 so start getting in line at 8:00 or is it slightly more relaxed? No I'm not on Cirno fastpass
>>46732046My previous experience with Reitaisai is that you shouldn't stress about arriving early enough, the lines are not going to be long enough that it'd take a long time for you to get inside
>>46732074Alright, sounds good. I'll probably aim for 9 anyway just in case I get lost which will inevitably happen. Given I want to buy a daki, there's probably a low chance of it selling out, no sweat there
>>46732104I will probably arrive there at 10. But I don't want to buy something specific anyways. Just going to do some spontaneous window shopping and ogle at the cute cosplaying twinks.
>>46731314Is this the leather club?
So how many people are actually going, can we get a roll call going?
>>46733485MeAlso, anyone wanna go to the Touhou-themed bar afterwards? It's called Bar UN Owen, open till midnight〒136-0071 Tokyo, Koto City, Kameido, 6 Chome−56−8 中銀亀戸マンシオン 2F
>>46733485I'll show up with a seija t shirt from mystia izakaya devs>>46733730Doesn't it get horribly crowded on reitaisai day and the day after?
I'm looking forward to sharing the Buh with everyone here! If you see me (Gaijin Doremy) tell me you're a super cool /jp/ poster so I'll know to give you the respect you deserve>>46733730Pretty sure you need reservations for Reitaisai week, unless you already booked them
>>46733485Me
>>46733769Probably, but that'll be fun in its own right. Also it's the day where anons will be most likely to actually meet up for it.>>46733865Well shit, didn't know that but I should've figured.
>>46733485Going as well, first doujinshi event I'm going to so I'm looking forward to it.
I'm only going to get ~6 hours of sleep...
>>46733485I'm going! Ill be in a remi shirt>>46733730You definitely needed reservations, its going to be packed. Same with Saturday i think
>>46733485I'll be the fairly generic Asian guy except for the Aussie accent
>>46732046I'm only arriving at 8:00 since I gotta help set up a space inside the event. general admission can arrive later no problem >>46733485yeah me look for leather jacket aussie skinny white boy
>>46734140If you have any other places in mind, I'm happy to shoot the shit for a bit.
>>46733485Another anon going here. I never meet up with /jp/sies though and usually end up leaving the event early.
>>46738014Are you afraid of the butt sex orgy? Your anus will only hurt for 1-2 weeks afterwards, so it is bearable and totally worth it.
>>46738036Yeah, gays give me hives, actually.I have plans already today, but usually I just get tired around 2:30 or 3 and have already seen/bought everything I wanted, so I just go home.
>>46737664Just passed you on the train, hello!>>46738014I understand not wanting to meet with other westerners but why leave early? Do you just go to shop?
currently waiting in line near east hall. no idea when and where to use the cirno pass
>>46738047lol hi
>>46738047Mostly. I've stayed other times watching the bands play or the other events going on, but I don't really hang out to talk to anyone at the event, so after I've walked through all the booths and seen the itasha for the third time, I'm unsure of what else to do. I go home and start ripping my music or something.
>>46738120I'm on my way. Where does the line start? East hall 4?
>>46738158nah it's quite further than that. already past the tunnel area leading to it
>>46738158It starts outside. I'm happy I got cirno line since the general admission line seems insane. I'm at position 47 in line
>>46738208How does one locate the fast line?
>>46738208get on my level I'm already in
>>46738278which circle are you part of
>>46738278Nice, I'll come buy your stuff if you share your space number
>>46738238It's outside , past the general line. Wearing a seija shirt, yellow shoes, and a purple backpack
>>46738291>>46738290A08ab selling ero hon right in the back corner of the hall
>>46738444Is that going to be the /jp/ meetup spot?
>>46732046>He gets in line at 8 for comiketShihatsu or bust, loser. That being said reception only starts at 8:30 for reitaisai so 8 is fine. Debating if I should go for Gift's booth since I don't really feel like standing in another hour long line like last time. And Cirno's going to sell out in a flash anyway... What circles are you guys hitting so I can buy them out before you get there?
>>46733730Would but I've got to go to Akiba and pick up a catalog for futaket tomorrow first
>>46738444Isn't that a wall position?
>>46738507>futaketThanks for reminding me about this, guess I'll have to do the same
>>46738575It's a double-wall. We're talking to a bigshot
queue for zun's line is already growing and it's just circle members lining up
>>46738615Certainly sounds promising
>>46738672Damn nerds
its happening?
キタ━(゚∀゚)━!
Standing comfly in the shadow in the fast line feels so good
I'm glad the weather is so nice. I feel like it's rained on the recent Reitaisai and Comikets a lot.
ZUN乙 mou dame daGift is already outside but it's moving fast ヽ(´・`)ノ
>>46738839Is there a Tenshi fumo? I think I checked last time and they didn't have one

People lining for Gift now are going to show up to the booth blacker than tanned Cirno>>46738858Not this time
>>46733730Nigga reservations were full a month before Reitaisai lmaoNot even mentioning the absolute fleece that are the prices for the weekend. 4000 initial 2 hours, 600 for character themed drinks, etc. Most I've paid there has been around 6.5k, don't think I'd enjoy it as much if I have to pay at least 10k

I'll be in the cosplay area! Say hi if you're here!
>>46739076Photobombed by slutnae
Just got here. No line to get in. Ippanshas rise up. ZUN line too long though. The dude staffing the end of the line is telling people it might be muri
>>46739122You missed the heavenly first 30 minutes when you could walk around with a decent speed. It is horrible now.
Fumos porn and sake purchased. Maybe my bags are getting a little heavy, but my wallet? Lighter than a feather. When's the karaoke stage start?
Do they not mind western gaijins being there? I thought japanese would find any excuse to arrest foreigners or something
Are there also like events or other cool anime-con type stuff to experience here besides shopping? Came here on a whim and I know like nothing about it
Where are people getting those bags from? Like that one with Satori and Komeiji, and the one with Youmu (by that one youmu-obsessed artist in all the myonmyon youtube thumbnails)
>>46739471Myonmyon is probably straight from the artist herself. If it ain't sold out already
>>46529112https://youtu.be/bWcASV2sey0?t=58DUU DUU DUU DUUUUU
>>46739410If you're polite a lot of circles will be really happy. Had a guy just smile at me and go HELLO! WELCOME! when I asked for his 新刊. But I definitely hear a lot of people talking about it when they let their guard down cause they assume I don't speak jp.>>46739424Stage in the back has different events as the day goes on. There's also the festival games corner, the arcade corner, you can donate blood and get a special poster, and you can take photos with a bigass sword (where I am right now). There's plenty more, just check the Catalog.
>>46739471Satori Komeji is the official 紙袋 you can buy at the front. The entire linup is also listed in the Catalog.
>>46739410Every time I come, I chat with my favorite Tenshi artist a bit. This time he thanked me for being a lolicon just like him. Last time he gave me a hug.
>>46739401Is the sake worth it? I know 2000 jpy isn't that much but is it actually decent sake?
>>46739679That's kigyou sake. The official is 4500. And I don't know, I haven't opened it yet
if anyone on /jp/ is somehow reading this and has an extra copy of the hifuu cd somehow I'll buy it off you at 5x the price or anything it sold out in front of me and my sadness very big
Fuck missed most of the stage burabura'ing. ZUN get drunk and sing again?
Does EVERY cute cosplayer have to be a boy?
>>46740016Check this touhou Chinese wikihttps://thwiki.cc/七夕坂梦幻能
Lemme know if there's a meetup otherwise I'm going to sleep.
乙
>>46740141Some anon and I are going to this music event this evening>>46646514>>46649495
Anyone who is familiar with COMITIA as well? Is it more or less busy than Reitaisai usually?
Anyone at the after talk?
>>46740182It's more or less equivalent. I think the last Comitia (February) was less crowded, while the one before that (December) was bigger and had more people (but still relaxed compared to Comiket)
>>46740254I didn't even know there was an after talk. Is it anything interesting?
Yassy's new book is genius as usual, I'm glad I managed to get it with his autograph
>>46740370It's just daihyou, ZUN, and some guests shooting the shit for a half hour or so. ZUN joked about how he forgot to apply for natsucomi this year
yeah I'm heading to this in an hour and a half >>46740151since I like eurobeat
>>46739076Update post-event: Only two /jp/ anons had the guts to admit to being so to me. Apply yourselves in the futureAnyways I hope you anons enjoy the candy! Until the next Touhou event we meet! Or the fumo after party of you're going to that
>>46740450The cosplay area was so busy that I didn't see any non-Asian cosplayers.
>>46740471Excuses
>>46740396ZOMG TORRENT PLS!!!
>>46740450I thought I saw you in the line to the changing room but I was too nervous to go up to you ;_;
>>46740688Anon, you are presumably a grown ass man. What do you have to fear from a crossdresser? What's the worst that could possibly happen?
>>46740815Rape?!
>>46740815Assrape?
Anyone down for a meetup? I'm at an anime bar in Akiba right now but I could do Shibuya or something too
>>46741304Are you still around?
>>46741304>>46742150I'll be in Akihabara to get some chicken soon before it closes wanna meet up?
>>46742196Don't forget to bring condoms
>>46740450Are you the white boy at the erohon booth? I saw you, but you weren't there when I went by later.I ran into some JP Reitaisai participants later at a bar and they invited me to a show later this month. One of the girls was Mokou cosplayer. I'm in, boys.
I'll be in Akiba to pick my shit up from a coin locker wTry to keep the moaning down at least, Akiba is residential after hours
>>46742196I learned I need to pass through Akihabara regardless, so sure. though I'll probably get there in 40 minutes
>>46742255nah that poster was probably doremi anon. I saw that cosplayer and got the candyt.white dude selling the erohon
>>46742255No I'm not there yet. My train comes in at 10:11. Tgen I'm rushing to Haikara Fried Chicken because that shit is so good but they close at ten thirty. After that I'll xbe free unless you wanna meet up there>>46742234Touhous aren't gay sorry
>>46742329we'll go to akiba and find that place if you want to meet then
>>46742355They closed early today fuckI'll just wait near one of the arcades or by the station if you'd like
event pictures?
>>46742410ok electric town exit all good?
>>46742545Sure, I'll be there in a few minutes! I'll wear glasses and a red Hawaiian shirt
>>46742322dear erohon guy,make Tenshi stuff, I will buy it without questiont. guy who just goes to Reitaisai to buy Tenshi stuff
>>46742622Were you able to get something nice?
>>46742622unfortunately I was just an assistant so not the actual illustrator, but I definitely agree we need more tenshi
Was fun meeting the very few anons who tried to meetup. Maybe some of us can go to UN Owen Bar before I leave Tokyo on Tuesday
>>46739492 I wonder if Zun feel uncomfortable when he sees this
>>46743213Here's something really uncomfortable to see
>>46743176Keep this thread alive and I'll eye for an opportunity for this
>>46739492oh yeah this one too
>>46743315I cant read
How crowded was it? I would like to attend one day but I'm no good with huge crowds.
>>46744277Bought this baby. Great read.>>46745560As a genre-only event it's one of the biggest. It's also growing very quickly. During the after-talk daihyou said that the preliminary stats suggest this reitaisai was the biggest since COVID, and significantly larger than last year's. Likely more than 20,000 people.It's big enough to feel packed into East 456, and it's a pain to navigate, especially through the doujin area. But, still nothing compared to the hell of comiket, so it's probably a good one to start with.
>>46745560There are smaller Touhou events done if you prefer. Character specific events are usually just 30ish circles for example.
>>46745560This was my 2nd time attending Reitaisai, and it felt clearly bigger than the first time in autumn 2019. Much longer lines to get inside the event.
>>46747081How long did people without a fast line ticket have to wait?
>>46747176I arrived at Big Sight around 10:15 (pretty late, but this was based on my previous experiences) and it took until 11 -ish to get inside, and the line was redirected in the backyard and from there to inside the halls. I was able to buy everything I wanted but one book got kinda close to selling out, unless the circle had more piled under the table I was able to catch one of the last copies left.
>>46747241Interesting, thanks.I arrived shortly before you at 10:10. I think they sold around 1200 fast line tickets. I was right in the middle in the line for ticket numbers 600-650 and was able to enter at 10:35.Purchasing the fast line ticket was a lot of luck though. I registered a livepocket account a few weeks before and preentered my billing information. Then just when the sale started I was put in a waiting line twice in a row. 6 minutes after the sale started I was able to purchase my ticket. After a total of 10 minutes all tickets were sold out.
>>46747434They should really implement a lottery for the cirno tickets next time.
>>46747450No, I enjoyed my #47 position
>>46747450I don't like lottos cause it's out of your hands. I say no fast passes and leave it to how early you can get out there and stand outside before opening. The most dedicated get preferential treatment.
>>46747781>how early you can get out there and stand outside before openingThat's exactly what the organizer want to prevent.
>>46748058I know. But I'm not the organizer. I just feel better betting on my patience than my luck.
>>46742783This time I got a cute towel, Tetsurou's latest work, some more cute 缶バッジ, and some guy's cute pixel artwork of Tenshi anf friends
So is anyone going to UN Owen on Sunday or Monday? Those are my last two days in Tokyo
>>46746809NTA but have you ever been to one? I kinda want to check out the DDC and TD one in Hiroshima that takes place around february I think (or at least this year's did), but it seemed really small, how are these kind of events? As in fun or just kind of a buy what you want leave?
So I'm the anon who proposed the Akiba meetup last night but while waiting for replies I actually met some Japanese dudes at a 7/11 and ended up getting absolutely shitfaced with them all night lol. Is that a more valuable experience than my first time meeting anyone from 4chan? Probably. B-but I really wanted to meet you too, anon-kuns~Gomen I couldn't make it! We should definitely do something before I leave Tokyo on Wednesday though. Maybe the UN Owen bar since it seems like a few anons ITT are interested
https://exhentai.org/g/2908341/fede63fe89/holy fuck, do these guys run to scan these on an hotel room or what, it only took a day. (based)where's the latest SakuFlan one ;_;
Any jazz?
>>46750309>>46749964Make a reservation or at least a google docs or something to get an idea of numbers. I'm in Sendai now but if you can arrange something at least one day in advance then I'll make the Shinkansen trip down. I won't be able to show up on a whim.
>>46753713>>46750309Looking at their site, it looks like they are closed on Monday, but they might be open on that day if it's a holiday? Don't really know much about UN Owen or holidays. Regardless, I'd be up for it anytime tonight or Monday if it is open
Seems like UN Owen is open tomorrow, reservations aren't needed, and the increased rate will be gone. Another anon and I will show up there around 5pm tomorrow, on Monday.
>>46755285Sendai anon here, I'll make my way and be there at 5. Thread on sage so if you don't see me, then don't mind me, must have fallen asleep on the train.
>>46755285Shit I'm in Hakone tomorrow on Monday but I'll be back in Tokyo the next day, if any anons can do Tuesday evening
>>46529112I am so happy that my thread survived for a whole month. Thanks for bumping it from time to time, anons.I hope to see some of you during summer comiket later this year.
>>46755536I believe it's closed Tuesday since it is open Monday due to holiday
>>46755551I'm asking on Twitter now since I didn't see it mentioned anywhereMan I'd love to come Monday (my birthday actually) but I have this Hakone ryokan already booked and I don't know if they'd let me change the date at this point
>>46755599>celebrating your birthday with a gay orgyBased!
>>46755599Any luck?
>>46755847>>46755946No response on Twitter yet but if I'm reading their website correctly the other anon seems to be right, they're open for Children's day observed tomorrow and closed TuesdayBut just now my ryokan agreed to move my booking after all even though it's the day before. こんなおもてなし! さすが日本gay tanjoubi orgy is now officailly happening, I'll see you anons at UN Owen on Monday. I think head count is at 4 so far
I'll likely try to join you guys too, but I might arrive a little later than 5
I'm staying in akihabara tommorow didn't know you guys were having a meet up. Never been to one. Hope that place isn't slammed. I guess it's tommorow or Wednesday right? Might have to move on if not tommorow.
I just looked. You guys, it says u.n. is closed on Monday.
I'm up for days other than Monday, thread is dying soon so feel free to make a new thread if there is a need to change schedule (for the upcoming Comitia or other events, for example)
I hope you all had fun, I'm back in Osaka already. I ended up buying 28 albums and a fumo. Only disappointment was that I couldn't get the hifuu CD because I was not going to stand in line for that.
>>46756590sure, on regular days, but on public holidays its an exception.
i hate no photos...why they went full corpo slop?
>>46761961Be discrete dummy. I had no issues. I even used my phone a few times.
>>46761961Because people don't like being photographed? Stop being *that* gaijin and follow the rules.
Are we meeting at UN Owen tonight?t. /trv/ raider
>>46762750Yes, 5pm
>>46762930Thanks boss!
Someone upload the new ZYTOKINE album already.Faggots.
https://twitter.com/bar_u_n_owen/status/1787318176206000513>ゴールデンウィークが激務過ぎて店長が風邪で死んだので本日はお休みします。誠に申し訳ありません。5月8日の水曜日からまた営業します。Sounds like UN Owen will be closed today, and will open on 8th (Wednesday) day next time
SHIT.Quick, anyone got backup ideas? If this thread sages, we can borrow japan travel thread on /trv/. Or we can make another here but it feels off topic given we can't attend the bar any more.
