Attending AKB48 handshakes: how-to (work in progress)

No, it's an individual hs

 

The natsu matsuri is a MUST do.

 

I'm sorry for asking all these questions (this should be my last one) but according to this:

http://www.kingrecords.co.jp/cs/g/gKIZM-90429/

it says the dates for the national HS from the 44th single is undecided?

 

44th single is undecided yes.

 

^ oops, I meant to say 44th. Edited my post, thanks. I have a few copies of the single reserved in my Amazon JP cart, but I'll wait a little longer before buying them.

 

It looks like you got the dates mixed up: The big handshake event is on the 17th. The 10th is the "AKB48 Group Summer Matsuri Event"
Matsuri is Japanese for "festival".

The Matsuri Event technically isn't a handshake event at all, though it is similar in at least some aspects. At the summer matsuri event, there will be special performances by select members, a business card handing event, and "member surprise lanes" with varying content.

There's a whole thread just about that event.

As gocchisama said, it looks like it will be an awesome event.

 

Hey guys can somebody walk me through the event participation ticket that came with the 43rd single?? It's my first time purchasing something in my 3 years of fandom and I'm just excited haha

 

Are you talking about the National Handshake? Or Natsu Matsuri? To enter the Natsu Matsuri, you need to use the theater edition HS tickets. The National Handshake events are pending.

 

i couldnt get any replies to my questions regarding individual handshake events in the nogizaka46 forum, so im trying luck here now.

1. can we bring camera and take photos of the members and HS venue?
2. If I apply on 1st application round and dont win at all, do I still get charged for it?
3. i'm using Tenso for delivery address, can I use passport as identification at the venue?
4. any issues if i attend HS event alone? none of my friends follow idols.

thank you!

 

1. no
2, no
3. Yes
4. ask yourself that.

 

I'm quite confused as to how using multiple tickets at once works. Let's pretend I have 5 tickets for my oshimen (1 for each slot) and I want to use them all at once. Is that possible, or do I need to have 5 tickets from the same slot in order to use them all at once? I think it's the latter but I'm not too sure.

 

^thanks, so I guess when those people who bring like 100 tickets to use at once, they probably had to apply for maximum amount of tickets per round for the same slot.

Also, is there a way to check the times for each handshake round after the lottery is already over? Like for HKT48 and NMB48, I see the members/rounds that I won, but nothing about the time (the events seem to run on different times depending on the day).

 

the different times on each day is the handshake slot times.

whatever your handshake ticket slot you purchased will be on one of those times.

 

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask about this, but given that I'm at my wits' end, I'm taking any advice I can get.

So I sent in an application for 10 theater edition CDs (with 2x collectible photos version) on the Chara-Ani website, for the voting tickets. Problem is, I overlooked the one line that said that the current "re-sell" rounds are cash-on-delivery only, and now the order status reads "Waiting to Ship (出荷待ち)". And I am well-aware of Tenso's no-COD policy, so safe to say I've effectively screwed myself over. I've sent in a request to chara-ani to help me out, be it by allowing credit card payment, or by cancelling the order, but I'm not getting my hopes up there.

I know it's my fault for not doing my homework more thoroughly, and I'm willing to pay the price for it. My question is: What's the worst-case scenario? How much will I need to pay both Chara-ani and Tenso for the trouble I'm causing them?

 

I don't know what Tenso will do, but you can almost guarantee that chara ani won't make any exceptions by letting you pay by other methods. They will most likely cancel the order and probably black list you.

 

Noted, with thanks!

Blacklisting's ok; I've got a spare account with them anyway, so I'm not too worried there. So this just leaves just Tenso to deal with.

Any chance Chara-Ani would help me cancel the order before the dispatch so Tenso doesn't get involved?

 

Actually you should probably be careful with having multiple accounts for chara-ani.

 

Guys, If i want to attend the national HS event, all i need is just bring the tickets (from limited edition cds) to the venue, right?
I mean there's no need to doing something like reserving, etc..??
