My dear beanies,

Yes I have been away for almost two months, but living in Junholand and 2PMland. Those brats just won’t let me go and I haven’t got time for almost anything but them.

And I’m afraid the situation is not getting any better because… I GOT TICKETS FOR THE CONCERT IN TOKYO FOR THEIR 15TH ANNIVERSARY!!!!!

So yes, I will be traveling to Japan for the second time in less than 3 months, and yes, I know it’s crazy, but… you only live once and I need to see my babes singing live.

Ticketing has been a bloodbath, if Seoul was WW3, Tokyo was WW4 and I couldn’t have made it without the help of J-Hottest. If you’ve ever been to a concert in Japan you know you can only get tickets with the help of a local, because a Japanese cell phone and a Japanese card is needed to make the payment. I had 9 Japanese fans applying for lottery (you can’t buy directly, you can only go through a lottery system, even for general sales), and somehow got tickets for both days (it was less than a 5% chance, I should have bought lotto that day… damn!).

So in less than a month, I will be going to Japan, and after concert I’m going with two of my friends to Hokkaido, to see a glimpse of momiji and enjoy a different part of Japan.

I will try to keep you all posted, but right now, beanies, all I think is 2PM!!!!!

    Wow that’s amazing. An Instagram Kdrama content provider ‘Deema loves drama’ saw them in Korea and said it was a superb concert lots of fan service. So for you to experience it twice will be a boost that will last forever.

      There was a streaming on Sunday, and I can assure you it was an absolute fan service. The concert was all for the fans.

    Firstly – this is amazing, WELL DONE!!! I know how crazy and insane (an understatement) the ticketing process is so the fact that you got your hands on tickets for BOTH DAYS is AMAZING!! And through the lottery too?! IT must be fate that said you had to be there!

    I hope you have the most absolute best-est time during your trip – so very excited for you and can’t wait to hear all about it 🤩

      When my Japanese friend told me she had won lottery for Saturday (this was the third entry, and she had 10 people applying for 6 tickets for me), I almost drop my phone and I started crying. I was weeping for more than an hour while I was watching Doctor Who with @leetennant and wasn’t really aware of what was happening. And then in the afternoon my Japanese friend reached again to confirm that another friend had won lottery for Sunday, so the weekend was pretty intense, because also I had to tell my friends I got tickets for them and they had almost given up on going. Lots of crying, I can tell you!!

        That’s so so so sweet of your friend to help you out with this too!! Isn’t it heartwarming when we come together for things like this! 🥰

        I can only imagine how intense it would’ve been with all the emotions. These things can be so emotionally draining, especially when you factor in the adrenaline and anxiety pumping through you while you’re waiting to see if you got it or not – even when it’s not a lottery system. Last year when BTS announced their Busan concert, I had a friend who was on exchange in Seoul literally dedicate over half her day to camping out in a PC-bang with all the devices she had on her to see if she could get tickets for both of us – and this was in the middle of her assessment season too, so it was chaos to say the least. Unfortunately she couldn’t get any, it was an absolute nightmare apparently because the site kept crashing and what not, and we both spent a fair bit crying over it after because of disappointment yes but also just emotions were so drained by the whole process.

        Also forgot to say earlier – totally with you on the ‘you only live once!’ thing! I love it when people do crazy ‘spontaneous’ things like this because yes, life is so short so if you can, you should totally do what you want to do and love. Experiences like these will become core memories after all!!

        I’m trying to manifest & plan a Japan + SK trip for mid next year, so I shall come to you for Jap. travel advice and questions 😀

      My closest friends are going to Hong Kong, and then as I have many Filipino moots, they are also having a blast because he’ll be in Manila. Ticketing for this will also be challenging, and I would go if I could, but damn real life gets in the middle and I have no leave days left this year, so I will have to wait for next years schedule.

      And I’m not obsessed… am I? Hahahahaha… who am I trying to fool?

      But Ally, I know you understand me… can you imagine? 2PM in concert!!! And I’ll be there!!!
