I'm going to see B'z in concert!!

so excited. B'z is doing a north american tour, they have a stop in Toronto September 26th. I have friends going and wanted to go with them but wasn't sure I could afford it. My boss offered to pay! :D *squeeee*

taking the bus down alone, but that's no big deal, then i'll probably have time to kill before i meet up with the others so i'll do some shopping in chinatown or something, have lunch etc. should be a nice little getaway after working too much overtime the last couple weeks.

weeee :D

anyone else going to see them?

Is there something going on between you and your boss ;)

I must admit I haven't followed their music that much, but what I've heard I've liked. we don't get many Jrock bands here, so it's sort of a take advantage of whichever ones I can and hope it increases demand so more bands will come here. we have a great promotion company here trying to bring over more and more bands, they'll have more success if the shows sell well. it's also an opportunity to hit the big city and visit with friends, do some shopping etc, all on my own. i rarely (never) get to do anything on my own just for me. and my boss.. he gives "favours" instead of raises. I'd still prefer the raise but I'll take what I can get. I'm going to find some of their stuff and dl it to my ipod so i can listen on the drive down. i have 5 hours on a bus by myself so i plan on catching up on their music a bit and doing some japanese studying. i'm not a fan of downloading but I intend to buy a cd from the merch table at the show so I think that sort of justifies it haha

I have no idea who B'z is/are but I'm happy you're happy LF :)

I read that the newest album is ALL english? I hope the whole concert isn't english, I'd be pretty bummed lol. i'm sure they'll bust out some older songs

haha well i still only make minimum wage even though i'm a manager. he says he prefers to give favours than raises but we have to ask him when we want something and i'm not comfortable with that. i figure if he felt i deserved a bonus or reward or whatever he'd give it to me without me having to chase him for it. and then he made me feel guilty saying he couldn't pay the guys doing our renovations on time. but whatever i'm gonna enjoy it. he even threw in an extra 40 bucks for dinner :D and yeah you're right they so do sound like Japanese Bon Jovi. couldn't put my finger on it all these years hahaha. not the type of music i generally go for but i don't mind it and i hear they put on a great show. and i'm not paying for it so what the heck mwuahahahaha. plus i get some 'me time' to wander around the city and do some shopping in chinatown, visit with a former coworker who's living down there now, and spend time with a couple friends! so it's totally worth it. the only thing i'm not sure on is if we'll still be living here LOL hubby may get a job in another city (closer to where the concert is) which would mean relocating and quitting my job :P i mentioned to him that if it happens i'll feel weird keeping the money but he reminded me it was a gift to thank me for the work i've done, not a bribe to keep me there longer. so true, so true.

no a better article was posted today saying they chose 5 of their favourite songs and translated them into english and are releasing them on an EP. so they will perform them at the shows but obviously Japanese songs as well. phew.

Thanks for sharing your impressions. I really envy you. would'nt be surprised there will be a tour DVD (every artist are releasing tour dvd nowadays).
It seems that the final concert will be avalable in streaming at the following page (it seems to be live, but I wonder if we can still see it after the show is over?)
