snowdude 44 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Me too I love a good concert too, and the last one I went to was last year in May when I went to see Lady Gaga live at Saitama arena. She was brilliant! I want to see her again this year, but not sure if she is going to come to Japan as she had a bad hip injury during the last part of her world tour and had to cancel! When she does come here again I will go see her. I would also like to see Jamosa sing live if I get the chance. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Summer Sonic looks decent this year.....funny how that and Fuji Rock alternate between crud and good year on year Tokyo Gig Guide is always a good resource to use to see what's coming to Tokyo area Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Who else is on for Fuji Rock this year. Wonder how many reports will once again say how the views from the base of Mt Fuji are just so awesome. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 TBH I don't really know many of the early acts who've been announced Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Fuji Rock Festival this weekend. Nine Inch Nails live stream apparently http://www.youtube.com/user/fujirocktv Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Starting in 20 mins Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I like lots of the sounds that NIN come up with. But would prefer just a bit more.... melody. Thought the staging was impressive - starting off just him, coming on one by one, the way the screens were used, etc. Looked good. Can't think that a big % of the people knew many of the songs though. Link to post Share on other sites
KlingKlang 1 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Watched that. Looking forward to the new album. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Did the weather hold for Fuji Rock or was there lots of rain? Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 If conditions in Tokamachi and Yuzawa are anything to go by - lots of rain, sometimes torrential. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Pissing down when NIN were on. Also watched the terribly rubbish live program in the evenings hosted by the gaijin who looks like... a fish.... and 'Melody Yoko' (?). Looked wet each day. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Here's the full NIN set at Fuji Rock Link to post Share on other sites
