Perfume in Singapore


Sales for Perfume's live in Singapore begin today at 10am at Scape. Lots of people are already in line and quite a few people camped over night too.

I was there with two of my friends yesterday waiting in line to buy these tix. One of my friends got there in the afternoon, then two of us joined him later in the afternoon into the night before another of our friends came later at night and two of us went hone for the night.

We only need 6 tickets so we only need two people in queue as one person can buy 3 tickets. Am now hoping the queue will be orderly and people in front of us will be considerate and not let a large group of their friends show up at 930 to join them in the queue and push us back in line.

Scape is such a small location for a group like Perfume. Seems like lots of people want these tickets and as there are limited numbers available for physical sales there is a certain amount of anxiety and hype regarding this live.

I am lucky.... I am one of those who got to go home to sleep.... two of my friends stayed overnight. Thank you guys!!! Fingers crossed that we get our tickets without a hitch. :)

    Woah no wonder I heard some people talking about queuing up overnight for a concert just now.
    Are you going for the EOY concert? Haruna Luna and Sayuri Sugawara are gonna be there!
    BTW, do you mind if I ask u a question? I don't think you're a fan of SCANDAL but I'll just ask anyway coz I don't know who else to ask haha. >_<
    There are these new Scandal Zippo lighters that are up for order but I don't know how to get them to Singapore since the webshop only ships within Japan. Also, I heard that you can't import lighters and the ICA will hold them back at customs. With your knowledge of importing lotsa stuff from Japan, do you have any idea how I could possibly obtain this lighter? :(

    Hi Shangyou,

    Yeah... it was tough queuing up for those tickets. This time, the serial number of these tickets were important as it determined which group of 50 you'll be in. We managed within the first group of 50 to enter the hall on the day of the concert so we're kind of happy about it. :)

    I'm not going to the EOY concert. I didn't know Haruna Luna would be performing at the concert and I haven't been keeping up with EOY's news.

    Wow... at the Esplanade Concert Hall? That's a nice location. If we're lucky and Kajiura Yuki / FictionJunction and/or Kalafina ever perform a solo live in Singapore, I hope it'll be at a nice auditorium like the Esplanade. But if they come down for any one of the days for AFA's anisong events, they'll just end up in one of the exhibition halls which would be so not ideal to hear their kind of music... still if that's the only way we can get them here for a solo live... I'm more than happy for that to happen.

    I'm not sure if I'll go to the EOY concerts tho'. I'm mildly interested because Haruna Luna will be there and she sang one of Kajiura Yuki's songs... but am only mildly interested. The chances of me going to EOY is slim right now because I'll be going to 2 days of anisong at AFA12 and the Perfume concert in November... I don't think I really want to spend money on EOY right now.

    Will you be going to the EOY concert? :)

    Scandal... I won't say that I'm a fan but I do enjoy their music. If they come down to Singapore again, I would be happy to go to their live.

    Zippo lighters... if you want to buy something in Japan which only ships in Japan and you don't have someone there to help you with it... the only option left, to my knowledge, is to use a proxy. There are several proxy companies in Japan but the only one I've used is Celga. Url: http://www.celga.com/

    As for importing lighters... let me ask some friends to see if they know if there are any restrictions regarding the importing of lighters into Singapore and then get back to you. :)

    Yup I am going for the EOY concert!
    Going mainly for Sayuri Sugawara because I want to hear her sing some of my favourite Final Fantasy XIII songs live haha. Haruna Luna with her Fate/Zero ending theme is a bonus!
    Oh and thanks for the information and help regarding importing the lighter! Much appreciated! ^^

    Hello Shangyou,

    I've asked one of my friends, who knows more about this stuff then I, and he said that you can get zippos sent to Singapore via mail if they do not have any lighter fluid in them.

    If you are ordering zippos and they are new, it shouldn't be a problem. To my knowledge, they do not come with lighter fluid. You have to put your own lighter fluid in the zippo.

    He said to make sure you register or have it sent by parcel post/courier or you may not receive it.

    Good luck with ordering your Scandal zippos. :)

    And enjoy the EOY concert. I'm unlikely to go at this point in time. :)

    cheers

    Oh okay thanks! Glad to know that the lighter should be able to make it to me. Then I think I will use shoppingmalljapan.com since I've used it before. I'll probably have to end up paying a lot for the assisted purchase, but oh well... anything for Haruna Ono! :P
    And you should totally try to go for the EOY concert if you have enough money to spare! I promise you that Sayuri Sugawara is very awesome haha. (Anybody who sings theme songs for any Final Fantasy game is guaranteed to be awesome.)
    As for myself, I am going for the AFA12 Anisong Concert, SCANDAL's SPECIAL LIVE in Malaysia in December, and finally the EOY Concert. Lotsa money burned but I'm using my army pay so it ain't so bad for me since I have absolutely nothing else to do hahaha. :3

    Hi Shangyou,

    If anyone of my friends express interest and I have the money for it... I may go to EOY but it's really unlikely right now... I like the FF games... played all of them till FF7... even played those available on the Gameboy and NDS. Sigh.... I have too many things I would like... practically all of them Mahou Shoujo Madoka or Type-moon related right now. :P

    Oh.... you're going to the Scandal concert in Malaysia... if they had come to Singapore, I would have gone... but maybe it's just as well... I've have tix for AFA12 and Perfume and have just attended J-Live: Weaver and flumpool.... lots of concerts... lots of good music for me this year. :)

    Have fun at the concerts!! :) Let me know if they were good. :) And if you get your lighter... take a photo and upload it... I'm curious to see if you managed to get it and how it looks. :)

    cheers
