I'm glad I got my Ringo Expo tickets for face value. I think they were $40 each? Even with that my expenses to see the show shot up over $600 when you factor in travel (bus, train, and Shinkansen), hotel, merch, and food. Then I got really sick and had to help prepare the dorm's Thanksgiving dinner. It was so worth it.

Oh, okay, Ringo Expo tickets were around $40? That's good to know. If Ringo ever does another Ringo Expo type thing I think I'll end up going.

Was that before the dollar tanked against the yen? Or I guess if you were drawing a yen-based salary the exchange rate probably didn't matter.

List therapy time! I bet they'll play...

Kabuki
Colour Bar
Ikiru
Rakujitsu
Tegami
Gunjou Biyori
Sounan
OSCA
Killer Tune
Shuraba (Adult version)
Noudoteki Sanpunkan
Tengoku e Youkoso - For the Tube

Kimaru
Kao
City without Electricity

plus advertising for Petrolz and Appa ;-)

Makes sense for a farewell tour, so I can't wait to see how wrong I am
They should bring back the bunny girls for Ikiru and Kimaru. Or, because they're probably all grown up now, the 2nd generation a la Morning Musume. Which Ringo will be backing as her new pet project instead of a solo career. Lol.

I got the tickets from kuro_neko while the exchange rate was still OK. He did take a bit of hit from those of us who got tickets from him though. The dollar was starting to slide by the time I booked the hotel and train tickets. I was running out of money and still had a whole month to get through. I would have bought so much more swag if they took credit cards at the merch tables.

Looks good to me, but you forgot Toumei Ningen. I also expect some a little extra on the final day of the tour. For those hoping for Hirama and/or HZM to make an appearance, the tour finale is likely the best bet.

Those of you attending, remember to check the flyer they hand out. If it's like the Expo shows, it will already have the release date for the DVD/Blu-ray on it.

Oh yeah, that song.
Add The Genjitsus, Dynamite, and Get it Up For Love. And maybe Ringo no Uta? Though I wish she'd save that for her tour next year =P
Maybe Oiran and Ichijiku no Hana have a small chance. Probably not.

I can see Ichijiku no Hana. Wouldn't be surprised at all if the single version of Ringo no Uta is the very last song they play. Full circle.

Add all 5 color bars songs to the mix too.

Edit: Oh wait, I just saw you wrote "Colour Bar" there. My bad hurr durr.

The list is definitely just about right. I would hope to see Ringo sing Jusui Negai and Yume no Ato too...
