Reitaisai 14 - 7th May 2017
N-Forza:
I can still request to include you for the concert. They aren't actually selling tickets anywhere; it's small enough they handle it through e-mailing them.
I might be a little busy to show you around in the days leading up to Reitaisai, but if you'll be around afterwards for a day or two, I might be able to make something work.
Yukaris Glove:
Then please do so, about the concert I mean ;) Thank you.
And no, it's a pity but I've to come back to Japanese classes in ?saka just right the next day :ohdear: But thanks anyway!
CenturyEgg:
6-7 MOTKers this round... sounds like we have a good number for dinner?
Yukaris Glove:
I'd certainly like to dinner with you folks too, even if I'm not an active user here at all. It's been so long since last time I could meet with T?h? fans in person.
Even so, I still don't know if I'm going to come back Sunday night or Monday morning.
EDIT: By the way, since this is my first time going, I've some basic questions, one being: I've heard that events like these are a "war" between attendees to get really-limited material. But I think that's not the case with circles' CDs, right? Because I'm pretty sure I've seen some of the CDs that were released in the winter Comiket here in ?saka.

Getting to Team Shanghai Alice or Tasogare Frontier's booths (if they're selling a new touhou thing) before they sell out might be a challenge, but otherwise most popular circles bring enough stock to last a few hours into the event (in my experience, at least) and almost all of it is available in melonbooks or tora no ana afterwards. Popular doujin music groups especially seem to bring a lot with them. Last year I bought A-One's new CD on impulse in the last hour of the event, and they still had plenty of copies lying around, and Diao ye Zong still had a box or two of CDs left despite having a queue until the very end of the event. The ones you have to watch out for are the circles who only print 100 copies and don't put it in melonbooks etc afterwards, because sometimes they're more popular than they expect and sell out really quickly!
Talking of battle plans, I highly recommend this app to anyone currently planning their reitaisai swag routes. It lets you colour code the circles, has their names written in the spaces instead of just a number, and lets you print out the maps too. It is in Japanese and I think you need a twitter account to use it, but it's a life saver if you get lost all the time like me, lol.
