Concerts!
Just got the free preview guidebook magazine thinger from Lawson. It lists all the upcoming concerts through the spring and summer.
Not sure if all of these will actually happen, given the situation in Kanto right now. Guess we'll have to wait and see. While Osaka/Kansai is basically untouched functionally by the earthquake and subsequent nuclear plant crisis, I'm sure safety in Kanto/Tokyo will impact scheduling these shows. I'm sure we'll know more after next week.
I don't care too much about this one, but some folks might:
