I posted it just for you, Cato-san....

I'm excited for you, does that count!?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I'll say this; Watching a rock concert in Japan is a fascinating experience.... Kinda like an orchestrated rocking out....

I saw Jovi, Priest, Crue and Loudness (twice) at the Budokan in the mid '80's....

No.

[perrin29]

That's great for the Japanese fans. Long time coming. Hope to see vids from those shows.

[ELVIS]

I hope you got good seats !!

[ZahZoo]

If these dates/shows hold... I guess you can finally legitimately call it a "World Tour"...

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Equals $158.83, BTW....

.@Roth_Army Tickets cost JPY12,500(floor) for the Osaka show according to Masa Itoh(one the most dominant rock critics) on his radio show.— LADY CRÜEL (@Ellisholic) June 15, 2012

Fingers crossed they do

[DLR Bridge]

Who can speak to just how popular VH are in Japan currently? How has ADKOT been received and such?

As well you should be. Enjoy.

[rustoffa]

[Dave's Bitch]

I am taking it as a good omen they are heading out of the USA.Hopefully there will be a Van Halen UK dates thread around here soon

Hope you have a good time Cato

[Hardrock69]

YAY! Cato-san will get to see Van Halen!

Cato, I look forward to hearing your review of the show!

Lucky bastard.

Yeah, was nuts. Just stuff happening that you just don't see at US concerts....

When we went to see Loudness, my buddy just went inside an unmarked door and walked around backstage, including into the room that the band was in. No one said a thing....

At the Judas Priest show, another buddy somehow got a hold of a huge bottle of hot sake from outside the Budokan and brought it into arena....

Here's the ad....

BTW, our DDE rep told me that right now it's looking like she's going to Japan...

So hopefully we can get some video of the boys on the trip....

[Cato]

tickets for Osaka and Tokyo are on sale already though....

hey btw.
Tokyo Dome will be the biggest venue on this tour. it has seating capacity of about 55,000(!).

does anyone think they can fill it with the audience?

[DLR Bridge]

...does anyone think they can fill it with the audience?

You tell us! How has ADKOT been received over there?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

For sentimental reasons, I would love to see VH play here....

Spent several nights drinking right there....

Oh yeah, that's the famous Budokan, by the way....

[perrin29]

Cool picture. On the VH site there are no links for tickets. Are they phone and ticket booth purchases over there?
